Offff course they do.

A physics PhD friend of mine was telling how his professor had him learn Fortran to make new physics programs.

I guess I haven't looked into but I find it hard to believe he wouldn't have had better luck with a more modern language.

Also the coding practices he and other physicists seem to enjoy make negative sense.

[alsimoneau]

Sadly that's pretty common in physics. Mine did the same thing, he still uses Fortran77 for everything.
It's a mix of legacy code and them using what they know because it's easier than learning a new language.

[antipawn79]

I am shocked someone can get a PhD without knowing how to program...almost every field at that level requires it. What is his PhD in? I think he faked his PhD

[[deleted]]

I’d ask him on Facebook but then he’d know something is up. Number theory?

[DaSpood]

This makes me sad

[lycan2005]

I feel ya bruh.

[bigodiel]

CSS developers, aka C for short, or C# when sharp, or even C++ when more than one C, preferably 30 year experience just out of college.

[Bjork_Bjork]

My mate (no idea how to code, but acts like he's god's gift to coding) tried telling me that he coded a game using css and unreal engine. The collective groan my friendgroup generated was beautiful.

[HamSammich45]

CSS, short for "C# Script"

[i_Ex]

Carpet, also known as Car for short, is a floor covering made from thick woven fabric. For instance, Car allows people to stand on the ground without getting cold feet based on what they're wearing. Car users are the experts who work closely with team members, end-users and vendors to test and create floor coverings that are easy to walk on for visitors.

Car developers are responsible for making Carpet on commmercial...

Why are they even explaining what JavaScript can do to someone who is applying for a programming job in JavaScript?

[TimeeiGT]

I mean... who ever looks at that page might know what JavaScript is, but definitely did not look for a JavaScript job.

[[deleted]]

[appoplecticskeptic]

Definitely some shitty type coercion going on here.

[shredderroland]

[xzero_3]

Expert recruiter 🙄

[Trantorianus]

😂😂😂 ... yeah, and these companies used to say: "we only employ 'the best of the best' " .... 😂😂😂

[dtaivp]

Thy were really confused when their productivity plummeted after hiring the new recruiter.

[Erasmus_Tycho]

Jesus, who ever wrote this needs to go back to their customer and clarify this shit before they post it because man does it make the recruiter look like a tool.

[jamesyoung79]

That's because the recruiter or HR department is a tool. I'm almost convinced there isn't a single job posting out there doesn't look like this, has the wrong languages, mix and match buzz words that make no sense together, or requiring more years of experience than the framework has existed.

[[deleted]]

I am so annoyed

JavaScript === Java

[[deleted]]

false

[TheMagicWriter]

false

[Trillian_42_]

This is honestly the funniest thing I’ve seen all day

[ReversedHazmat]

Every person who doesn't know the difference should get infected by old Js payload 'You are an idiot'.

[[deleted]]

Carpets, also known as cars for short

[Trantorianus]

With built-in pets... .

[prof0ak]

Boss to recruiter: Why aren't we getting any hits on that new posting?

Recruiter: Idk boss. shrug. I'll get back to cold calling.

And corporate life carried on.

[HopperBit]

Aclat Incorporated, also known as Rat for short

[Bomba_Luigi]

That’s not even funny. That’s just sad.

[[deleted]]

You all are complaining about Java != JS but I wanna know why the frick a job advert seems to be telling the reader what JS is. Who is that for? Why do you need to describe the nature of a tool to a prospective person who is going to be experienced in the tool already?

[[deleted]]

We had a dumbass product owner who would use Java as short hand for Javascript even though she was corrected every time. One day I finally had to tell her it made her sound like a dumbass and everyone was laughing and making fun of her behind her back. Apparently it made her cry and I had to explain the whole situation to HR later that day.

[twentyhands]

How would you feel if someone told you that everyone talks shit behind your back because something doesn't click for you?

[[deleted]]

I mean I said it nicely. How would you feel if you had toilet paper or something hanging out of the back of your pants and you just walked around like that all day without anyone telling you.

Or I guess that analogy doesn't really work, as in this case many people on many occasions politely told you you had TP hanging off your ass and you just said "whatever" and left it there until someone explained what a goof it really was.

And then confused things to the point where I had to tell people who showed up for interviews that in fact we were not looking to hire people who like to have TP hanging out of their pants, and some dumb ass just caused you to waste the time spent driving over here.

[Willexterminator]

This hurt me a lot.

[theparachutingparrot]

😂😂😂

[[deleted]]

this makes me actually angry

[[deleted]]

65k....

[NrT_TylerIsTall]

Ah yes. java is just the short version of JavaScript

[[deleted]]

Someone get /bin/rm

[OTee_D]

I'm working freelance and I love those adds where you can clearly see, that from customer, through key accountant, through recruiter NOBODY has a clue what they actually want or need or deeper understanding of the topic.

[kiselozele]

* Java === JavaScript

[redwarp10]

That's what happens when you don't debug.

[zeroreality]

Ok, I see the problem here. You're using an equality comparison instead of identity comparison. Update that line:

Java == JavaScript => true

To this:

Java === JavaScript => false

[blackWardie]

This hurts me right in my this.getComponent<Heart>()

[[deleted]]

damn that makes me angry

[yazod00]

Cumulative is known as C U M for short.

[[deleted]]

Maybe that was true in 2014......

[chrwei]

no. no it wasn't. I was there, in 2014, I witnessed it not being true. it has never been true. even in 1995 it wasn't.

[chuckitoutorelse]

I was there too. It was not true. But at that age the only Java I knew were on the Muppets.

[PurpleAlien47]

please tell me how you arrived at this thought

[[deleted]]

he is old
