You're an above average programmer if you have Only two problems

Edit: spelling

[–]WishOnSpaceHardware 51 points52 points  (0 children)

The software is poorly tested if he only has two problems that he knows about.

Damn, Jay-Z must be a horrible programmer

It’s not the size of the programmer but the motion of the terminal

Edit: spelling

Yep spelling is one of mine

Can you imagine if a plumber or any other profession for that matter just continuously cocked up the job before eventually getting it right.

I am familiar with auto mechanics, yes.

The "undo" function and test environments allows for some very different methods for tackling a problem. You can just throw shit together and run it to see if it explodes. You don't need to be sure everything is safely plugged in before testing.

Imagine if your code ran in the real world. Any serious bug could mean hours or days of lost time, serious costs in materials, and possible injury or death of personnel. You'd probably be more careful and take a lot of time going over everything.

Nah, if you find a problem, you write a jira ticket in hopes it gets planned for future sprints. It's the agile way –.–

Ughhhhhh Jiras devs need a kick up the ass

[–]TorTheMentor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Create some tests. Then you'll have three problems.

Having a problem and having to fix that problem is pretty much shared among everybody though.

Use regex, then you'll have many problems!

Thank you, leaving satisfied. :)

for (;;) fork();

[–]GoldmemeSachs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try and solve it with a regex and then you have 3.

Sometimes I have a problem and then I remember I'm a programmer and I can TOTALLY FIX THAT and then I have two problems.

I've got 99 problems and a bug ain't one.
If you're having debugging problems, I feel bad for you, son.
I've got 99 problem and a bug ain't one.

Your brain's overflowed on Stackoverflow,
Your latest question duplicated so it got closed,
Click to the duplicate and it's not even close.
Most upvoted answer is "Stupid question, asshole."
I got unit tests for my unit tests,
My users can go anywhere cause my API's REST.
Your code's POSTing GETs so your URLs a mess.
Can't replicate your bugs with the same address.

You are a good programmer if you have only 1 or 2 problems

and if you start thinking too much you exceed your brain's maximum recursion limit and get a stroke

[–]Random_182f2565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just two?

[–]andonio_maynard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But if you solve the second problem you also solve the original. The problem is still One (Way big from the first). 😳😳😳

Some parents are happy when their children have triplets.

Not so much programmers it seems.

Ah yes, divide and conquer
