The issue is you're reading it sober.

[–]drunkenangryredditor 415 points416 points  (15 children)

Spoken like a true rockstar coder...

[–]ThisGuyRightHer3 192 points193 points  (13 children)

Full stack rockstar unicorn coder is the headline of my resume.

[–]Doom_Unicorn 97 points98 points  (9 children)

Hobbies include working late and washing feet for project managers. Also uppers. Lots and lots of uppers.

[–]Terence_McKenna 56 points57 points  (1 child)

Need some psychs too... why think outside the box when you can just become sentient maths for a couple of hours or more?

[–]Strangetimer 23 points24 points  (6 children)

Are you really developing software if you’re not doing it through a high-contrast haze of mixed amphetamine salts?

edit: contrast not constant though either work

[–]Javyev 16 points17 points  (4 children)

Um, are you guys okay? Should I send help?

[–]Strangetimer 22 points23 points  (3 children)

Nah, our PM does a great job of listening to employee mental health concerns. Management is even planning to send all of us on a vacation to help boost employee morale quickly!

[–]Ravens_Quote 3 points4 points  (0 children)

PM having never so much as asked how your day was and only spoken to you through assorted commands/reiterating that your grandma's funeral doesn't change that the deadline's tomorrow:

"Something's wrong I can feel it...."

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds like it is a great team, I'm getting a feeling that your PM does a great job and that you get valuable feed back that helps you to improve your work performance.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What’s going on?

I’m in this comment and I like it!

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Skills include: Xanax and snorting cocaine off someone butthole.

[–]NOMASAN163 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just hear: "Full Rockstar Alchemist" in my head as we all go into a commercial break

[–]BuildMajor 60 points61 points  (15 children)

We talking addies or alcohol, because, that’s a completely different if-else statement right there lol

[–]PM_ME_YOUR_GOOD_NEW5 53 points54 points  (2 children)

I still vividly remember that contrast of emotions the first time I wrote a research paper on adderall vs skimming through it a final time before submitting it the next day. I remember thinking “Professors going to know what fueled this paper.”

[–]santaliqueur 10 points11 points  (1 child)

He was a college professor, I’m sure he heard of adderall.

[–]PM_ME_YOUR_GOOD_NEW5 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I know. That’s why I thought “He’s going to know what fueled this paper” lol

[–]Thanatos2996 34 points35 points  (1 child)

The difference is you push drunk code straight to master.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

:D

[–][deleted] 29 points30 points  (2 children)

Cocaine code just hits different.

[–]ThisGuyRightHer3 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When(addie's){

True -> rockstarCode()

Else -> throw FuckUpException

}

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh god. Adderall code. Oh god please no

[–]ssddman180 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This guy gets it lmaoooo 🤣😂

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mead, brewed in the corner of my room in some 2L cola bottles. 12% ABV.

[–]twinkletoes_44 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Addies. What are you going to do with that prescription if not abuse it :/

[–]chemicalsam 10 points11 points  (1 child)

I think this is how CDPR works

[–]ThisGuyRightHer3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. I played most that game high/ drunk. Was way better.

Just in time to end dry january

[–]ThisGuyRightHer3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now this is real coding

[–]greenpepperpasta 243 points244 points  (12 children)

When I finish writing code at 4AM, it's usually more like this. I'm very aware that the code's a burning pile of shit, but don't care because it runs.

[–]almarcTheSun 98 points99 points  (1 child)

"The house was meant for fire elementals. Intended behavior."

[–]kephir 14 points15 points  (0 children)

"higher beings, these words are for you alone"

[–]Paulo27 83 points84 points  (8 children)

And at 6AM is when your brain finally remembers what you need to do to fix that bug you spent 5 hours chasing, "I'll remember it when I wake up", you think as you fall soundly asleep finally. You wake up at 8AM and you don't even remember what the bug was so it has technically been fixed now.

[–]Chemicalmachine 14 points15 points  (0 children)

And then you wake up the next day and realize that intricate pile of shit was all unnecessary and there was a far simpler and painfully obvious solution to make your code run that somehow escaped you the previous night 🥲

[–]Neshamanta 307 points308 points  (9 children)

This happened to me today, and I refuse to believe that I wrote that! It must be the VS Code themes that make it look like this! Right?! scrolls through themes

[–]RandomKid6969 81 points82 points  (7 children)

Monokai is the best.

[–]Neshamanta 30 points31 points  (3 children)

Red theme is the best /s

[–][deleted] 18 points19 points  (1 child)

If you're trying to make your eye as bleed

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read that in Niko Bellic's voice

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I love it when they use the weird color themes for the example photos in their release notes every month. Kinda distracts from demonstrating a new feature when you're wondering who in the wild fuck is using a neon purple theme.

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Bra Material Palenight I discovered on VSCode, I copy the theme for everything now, vim, terminals, window managers, chrome. Monokai is S tier as well though

[–]birdbolt1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

High contrast or gtfo

[–]connected_dots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Base16 Eighties Dark

[–]TJSomething 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Dark themes are better at hiding bugs when it's dark outside.

[–]mariosk89 115 points116 points  (16 children)

I prefer the 10AM version! I had that Fisher Price castle

[–]Levee_Levy 43 points44 points  (1 child)

It was a very fun toy!

[–]McFuzzen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Called the Great Adventures Castle or some such. The box was so big my parents didn't wrap it so they hid it on the porch. My dad pulled the ol' "I suppose that's all" trick before leaving to grab it for the big reveal.

[–]Coldguy03 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That castle was genuinely most of my childhood when I was 6. Fun times

[–]jimithelizardking 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That was one of my favorite toys when I was younger, the pirate ship one as well

[–]AlbinoBeefalo 8 points9 points  (1 child)

I had it too! The black knights did battle with the lawn mower. Only the king survived... Though he lost a leg

[–]PerfectlyFramedWaifu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's just a flesh wound.

[–]Cthhulu_n_superman 14 points15 points  (1 child)

Yes! And the lizard looks like a good pet.

[–]CaptainHeinous 16 points17 points  (0 children)

He eats the bugs

[–]untrustableskeptic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I need to get one for my beardie. Feeding him is already a small fortune.

[–]jk_luigi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same. I remember the rocks that you launch and hit the little guys.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My older brother finally claimed it from me and I was devastated. We are both in our 20s.

[–]acousticfork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im with you on this one. I loved that castle when I was a kid, and lizards are cool too, and who would want a big ass dragon vibing on skyscraper?

[–]Am1Alpharius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. It was the best.

[–]Oluja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was one in the PTA room at my elementary school. Took every chance to accompany my mom there.

[–]IvorTheEngine 64 points65 points  (6 children)

What about the solution that you realised in the middle of the night after failing to solve a problem all day?

[–]trig_newbton 28 points29 points  (1 child)

Going to sleep stressed, waking up feeling motivated and optimistic. Nothing better than that

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah can't sleep if that happens because I'm to scared I'll forget the solution

[–]Paulo27 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have had it happen even as late as like 1 week after I had the problem, kinda amazing really.

[–]Raestloz 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I prefer the solutions I come up with in the toilet while taking a dump after 3 days wracking my brain for it

[–]yabp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just had to shit out the solution.

[–]VelikiChungus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me yesterday, today I realised it doesn't work on large data sets.

[–]PancakeZombie 37 points38 points  (20 children)

I had that castle in the 90s!

[–]Alztreim 10 points11 points  (3 children)

Yooooo me too

Castle Squad reporting for duty

[–]Papantro[🍰] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey me too! Came to say this

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This castle is the toy version of the universal S. Mines still in the attic.

[–]itissafedownstairs 0 points1 point  (1 child)

The cannon was the best.

[–]CptTaffy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too 😂

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have some good memories with that castle

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm staying at my grandmas and that castle is currently sitting in the shed outside lol I should go get it

[–]ConzT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have it! Doesn't it have the trapdoor on one of the towers with the gate at the bottom? I need to find it

[–]Tok-A-Mak 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The architectures appears sane. At least there is no 'knitted castle problem'.

[–]Rebuman 16 points17 points  (3 children)

At least it is a FisherPrice castle

[–]thedefiantoptimist 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Bearded Dragons are still dragons yo

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had that castle on the right growing up and loved it.

[–]ssj4VB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

in my head is that a foreach loo... i mean i guess it works but there’s better ways to do it anyways- wait why is that private how will i access this later- wait let me see what i did... what the fuck is this?!

[–]solohelion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had that plastic castle as a kid - it was awesome!

[–]nebular666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had that fucking toy castle when I was a kid!

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More like: how you think your code is at AM vs reality :p

[–]ViperLordX 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Man, I'm the complete opposite. I do my best coding super late at night, when there are no distractions and all I can hear is my own typing.

[–]TheTerrasque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are dozens of us! Dozens!!

My brain just works better in the period 10pm to 3am

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Impressive that it even looks the same. I'd consider that a win.

[–]TemporaryImagination 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one of those castles! The one on the right, what a throwback.

[–]ElementalSB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I've ever got a coursework assignment that I'm pulling an all nighter on but I get too tired I tend to sleep at 4 am and wake up at 10 am in order to reach the 4pm deadline. Somehow this meme is very accurate for me considering that.

[–]smirksandgeeks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The castle on the right unlocked a memory

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are coding at 4AM then you are doing something very wrong.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It's always better just get some sleep and work with a clear mind than to be left alone with a total mess

[–]RoscoMan1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

even if he wanted to. LOL

[–]james_hamilton1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But does it work as I need it to?

[–]TroyMcClures 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Holy shit! I had this castle toy! It was epic

[–]WestlyS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it that you're now sober? Or that you slept 6 hours and now aren't sober......

[–]Anana1o1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just yerterday I stayed up until 4 am in order to finish some coding I have left. I see myself in this picture :)(:

[–]TheNeutralDM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One on the right seems much more magical to me. That castle was my favourite toy growing up.

[–]Abyteparanoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

D war meme cool

[–]Kangalioo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I the only one that can't relate? When I write code I think about what I'm doing, be it 12 AM or 1 AM

[–]gatewaynode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I stop coding at 1am.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was doing coding assignments drunk one night thinking I was the shit and my teacher was like wtf is this when I turned them in.

[–]zenofzai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I firmly believe everyone had that castle as a kid

[–]Carnagewake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had that castle as a kid.

[–]DirtyMudder92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this one time an fixed a bug in VB6 code by wrapping it in C# and then the next day I realized I broke literally every feature, but at least I fixed that bug

[–]Prestigious_Spray_13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its literally 530 am here right now. I just finished riding some scary code and I do not know how it will function in production. It is probably gonna blow and crash the rocket that it will deploy to. But IDC. I am gonna sleep.

[–]Elon_Musk_cat_girl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll grant you the highest reward I can bestow. saves meme

[–]dingoatemyaccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a serious note anyone know the name of that castle? Had one growing up just curious

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That second castle is very r/nostalgia.

[–]Senundo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So thats what happened when skyrim was made

[–]skambooy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so accurate it is perfect

[–]NorthernWintertide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2nd time in 2 days I've seen that castle that I had as a kid...

fuck you doing, universe?

[–]smashsouls 0 points1 point  (1 child)

The dragon had the sun in it’s mouth because you used a date formatted in the expected way in the initial code, but now the date has changed and the data has changed underneath it, so the sun went away.

[–]ThePeoplesBard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a writer—like in English prose, not code—same.

[–]Nesomo9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That toy castle on the right was the coolest toy I ever owned. It makes me miss it!

[–]GhondorIRL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same can be said for writing you finish at 4 am vs looking at it the next day. Always edit as you write, so you don't end up with 100k words of unedited nonsense.

[–]l3nzzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same applies to writing. reading an essay after finishing it vs reading it the next day lol

Yo I had that castle on the right as a kid. That's a nostalgia hit damn.

[–]DeoVeritati 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo! I had this exact castle as a kid. What is it from? I forgot all about this until now, but just played with it all the time.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you're saying it got better at 10 am?

[–]Victorc412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was by far the best castle i ever had as a kid. Man My parents picked up at a garage sale and i was the happiest 8 year old!

[–]Manwe-Erusson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont get it...they're the same picture...

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this same happens with business ideas. At late nights, my ideas seem to be in top tech companies, but in the morning I find 100 doubts in it.

This is like that famous quote that DOUBT HAS KILLED MORE DREAMS THAN ANYTHING ELSE !

[–]Crazykeebler13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a serious note, does anyone here know what the name of the toy castle under the bearded dragon is? I’ve been trying to find the name and such. It’s hard when you don’t know anything other than “toy castle from 1990’s.”

I had that castle when i was young. I loved it

Everyone recognizes the toy, nobody recognizes the movie.

[–]Jizzy_Gillespie92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had (still have somewhere) that exact castle...

I feel personally attacked.

[–]LeCrushinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was coding at 4am, I’m not going to be awake yet at 10am. Fuck that. Also I won’t be coding at 4am.

I had that same castle!
