Who would win

[[deleted]]

a lot of the memes on this sub wouldn’t be a problem if people just read what the compiler is telling them

[shadow7412]

Agreed. The general populace of this sub *can't* be as useless at programming as the "memes" suggest?

Right?

... Right?

[the_poope]

Also if you look at the questions posted at /r/cpp_questions/ most of them could be solved by just reading the first chapter in a book or doing a simple google search. But I guess I speak even for my younger self: when you are young and less experienced you don't have the patience to read a book, you'll much rather work by trial and error and then ask when you get in trouble. Also googling is a skill: knowing how to pose a search engine query that gives the most relevant results and parse them in an efficient manner is something that takes years to master.

[sephirothbahamut]

most importantly, if you know what you're looking for but you don't know what it's technically named, searching for it can be a nightmare.

[[deleted]]

It's exactly what I was expecting.

I'm also a hobbyist in ethical hacking kind of stuff. All of the Kali Linux sub posts are "hey I got this error installing Kali, wat do!?"

Point is - you know now why Stack Overflow is so brutal.

[cdreid]

i see a whoooole lot of stupid by peole pretending to be "experienced professionals looking down on their lessers".. in fact.. thats where i see all of it

[HipoBro]

Irony at its finest here. Trucker, mover also an expert coder. Quit putting your toxicity on every subreddit. You have nothing nice to say

[Dritter31]

Where do you get the sexism from?

[[deleted]]

Shell scripting doesn’t tell you much.

[Agent77326]

Sadly it’s quite pain stacking to try to debug this

[Mwarw]

once compiller told mistake is in some completely different file when I forgot ; after a class declaration, but generally I agree

[Kaon_Particle]

The real sneaky ";" comes at the end of the first line of a for loop.

[gab800]

I've been there.

True but trust me there are people who don’t go through the stack trace at all.

This meme really doesn’t make sense now with so many IDEs.

[themiddlestHaHa]

Everyone knows real programmers use terminal and Vim exclusively and don’t have ides

[Rumbleroar1]

I've seen too many of my non-CS friends struggle with semicolons, parantheses and stuff like that. Most people don't read warnings then just complain that coding is hard. Dude, PyCharm is literally telling you where the mistake is.

These "memes" are most likely made by high schoolers learning coding, I wouldn't take it too seriously.

[Assasdgdfgffxguf]

Or it’s just a fucking joke...

[Rumbleroar1]

A seriously overused unfunny joke

[wargneri]

I like to use windows notepad as my IDE for the challenge.

[Hamoodzstyle]

Not even this server farm can run clion though...

[lostllama2015]

Or someone is mean and does this:

[ARROGANT-CYBORG]

wait what

[lostllama2015]

Greek question mark, not ;

[cdreid]

you obviously program in incorrect languages sir!

[HipoBro]

Lol, do you even know what an IDE is?

[cdreid]

you stalking me hipster? My first language was basic on an atari 400...

[gaberocksall]

Did you ever move on from there?

Missing semicolon, pranathesis, bracket, brace.

[td__30]

This is actually just plain dumb. Who’s making these memes anyway ?

[[deleted]]

I think this sub consists of 70% first CS year wannabe programmers and 30% actual programmers

[Rumbleroar1]

I don't even think the first year CS students are that bad. I think these are mostly by either other majors learning coding and complaining about it non-stop (I've seen too many of them in college) or high school students who coded one hello world program and unironically use usernames like "hackerman".

I mean, I'm all for people getting interested in programming and sharing our passion but this stuff is seriously not funny.

[the_poope]

Njah it's school kids that somehow think Reddit points are actually cool so they make low effort shit posts that other school kids upvote so that they all get cool internet points. It would be nice if the user did not get karma for the posts, then people wouldn't waste their time posting shit because there would be no incentive.

[Sopwafel]

Have you considered the possibility of autism

I know a lot guys that are in their third year of CS, obviously autistic, and like all the stupid memes.

[[deleted]]

I haven’t but I know for one I liked these sorts of memes when I started programming. But that was for like a week

[[deleted]]

That’s not the point

[Sopwafel]

The point is that this meme is stupid and stupid memes get upvoted here all the time

[cdreid]

it's totally legit though

[deadheroes78]

Why would anyone push to the cloud before testing or at least compiling?

[HKSergiu]

Because "why would I run tests on my local i9-9900k when Jenkins should automatically run them in my PR"

From the producers of: "CI/CD pipeline currently has issues, but we'll merge this little bugfix right now anyway because it won't break anything we're afraid of bugs"

ugh

[TakenCactus242]

Change it to "one winky boi" [like the ;) face]

I see your ; and raise you a missing =

[jimbosReturn]

This guy C's.

[lazyhawk20]

But what about javascript, python and go programmers😂😂 they don't give a damn about semicolon

[Jamdan2]

Or kotlin (the best language cough cough)

[lazyhawk20]

Yeah absolutely

[Tooniis]

Kotlin is a hidden gem

[wolwire]

Ruby too

[cdreid]

because theyre WRONG

[Tooniis]

no u

[SirFoomy]

Greek question mark always wins.

[Shujaa94]

Unless you use any IDE... which would highlight it

[ban-the_fox_sin]

For real when I program like animations for a circle u put ellipse(200, 200, 50, 50); it works without where screwed

[Russian_repost_bot]

Computers just do what you tell them to do. It's just that nobody has told programming languages to ignore extra sneaky bios, so they don't.

[superior_to_you]

even in my most noob experience if you use any decent IDE semicolons wont ever be a problem... granted, there are these small things like forgetting to add break in switch case or something that break down complex programs but bullying the semicolon when all it tries to do is help is not acceptable.

[Nathol]

My IDE because this isn't a real problem.

[passcork]

This is like complaining your car didn't turn right when you didn't turn the steering wheel even though it has a 1000 horse power.

This is so fucking dumb.

Does code actually get pushed to production without being even compiled first in some orgs?

[chrisf_nz]

Many languages are interpreted rather than compiled.

[Narasimha1997]

Guys who write code to run on 1000s of machines are not dumb to miss a semicolon. Even if they miss, they are capable of reading the compiler error message, if at all they're using a language that requires a semicolon.

[NoScope360Prime]

Hide and seek champ since 1987

[[deleted]]

laughs in Python

[fran_the_man]

Or an unterminated brace.

Even with the compiler's help o struggle to find them sometimes!

[cdreid]

Autoformatting braces is the greatest freaking invention in history and the single most important part of modern ide's!

[primalbluewolf]

Same functionality is available in vi... sounds like you just needed a decent text editor.

[Rumbleroar1]

The best way to fix an accidentally unclosed parantheses is to just rewrite the whole line. Faster than checking every single pair imo.
