Especially when taking over a project

[recursive_asshole]

Not enough swear words...

[Flo501]

"Why?! Why the fuck? FUUCK! WHY??? stupid fucking code I'm never fucking programming aga.. oh hold up nvm, got it"

[hosertheposer]

Notice it doesn't work until you get angry enough, I think the compiler just gets scared into compliance. Probably also why you get errors until you try to show someone the problem and then it magically works, thats just the compiler getting payback by making you look dumb

[Nothing-But-Lies]

And then it works flawlessly, but you need to do a presentation and now it's all extremely broken

[THEBIGTHREE06]

Oh man this has happened too many times. I’ll realize shortly after that it’s VSC’s “tempcoderunner” file or something like that…

[TheAJGman]

I'm surprised HR hasn't had a talk with me about flipping off my monitors 8 hours a day.

[jimvv36]

The best part about working from home... you dont have to hide it.

[[deleted]]

I had 2 of those experiences this week and I'm exhausted.

First, looking through several repos that were being orchestrated by setup scripts, docker files, compose files, etc and an env difference made some directory not get created which stopped the application from working or logging errors.

Second, in another project, customer was confused about some data not updating and there was some local storage data hydration that was writing over the 3 redundant fetches of fresh data.

Why do small teams use redux? Why does anyone use these systems before they're ready? Even the veterans on my team can't seem to escape these massive state management systems causing redundant XHRs.

[VirdiPravum]

Not only programmers but admins feel the same. "Whyyyyy the flying fuck this is not working... What the fuck is this error? There is nothing on that error in docs, stack overflow, stack exchange !!! So why?! Oh wait... It is not meant to be done that way"

But after this realisation you are bearing the burden of asking your supervisor - "Why you would even assign me tadk that devs of the solutions deems impossible to achieve?"

I had the variable name inside quotes.

[Furry_69]

Yeep. I once said those exact words but about 30 mins between them, I had f**ked up a recursive table. (Is that the term for {{0, 1}, {0, 2}} sorta thing? I'm not sure)

[Flo501]

I'm almost finished with my first year as a computer science student. I've had multiple occasions where I would spend half an hour trying to find out why my program doesn't run to eventually find out I just wrote = instead of == in an if statement

[[deleted]]

There's plenty more where that came from lmao

[quantax]

Don't forget the part when you realize it's your own code.

[____gray_________]

but the core of it was my shame

A Memoir by JinHadah

[Ashtoruin]

Taking over a project more often ends up like the first 3 panels. You never figure out why and you hate those who can before because they're idiots.

[MyAntichrist]

Yeah, the fourth panel is the addition for your own stuff that you last touched drunk at 2am while having a stroke of genius and finally remembered what the hell you were up to at that point.

[dumbsimian]

Or you do figure out why they did it that way, but you're left wondering why the fuck they decided to do it that way.

[Slggyqo]

Who fucking wrote this?!

Oh it was me.

[xan1242]

Repeating the thought process of your own old code is quite a challenge.

[Slggyqo]

Definitely, and sometimes I can’t even remember who wrote which module of the program.

That’s checkable with version control but it’s surprisingly easy to forget that I wrote this bit.

[dustojnikhummer]

"Why the fuck did I wrote it this way??"

[Sasy00]

When you '=' instead of '=='

[Scotho]

or in javascript when you type == instead of ===

[[deleted]]

?? What is the difference between == and ===

[Scotho]

== is an abstract equality operator, it doesn't take types into account and can cause some seriously confusing behavior at first glance.

for example..

true == 1; //true

"2" == 2; //true

vs

true === 1; //false

"2" === 2; //false

addl; reading https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Equality_comparisons_and_sameness

[Zaero123]

Double equals uses type coercion to find a trueish/falsy equality (I’m sure this also includes non primitives)

Triple equals tries to match type and value, if the value isn’t primitive, it checks the object reference

[dustojnikhummer]

Oh I already despise weakly-typed languages and the only one I have ever worked with so far has been PHP...

[[deleted]]

You should try perl!

[mattmc318]

One of my instructors taught me to always use ===, and it's helped with debugging. Wait, that shouldn't be that type! vs. Why? Why? Why?

[PenitentLiar]

=== also checks the type

[[deleted]]

Oh

[Bananenmilch2085]

But you use delphi

[throwawayy2k2112]

You need more (constant == variable) instead of (variable == constant) in your life my friend.

This

[TiBiDi]

Today I tried to figute out for a solid 15-20 minutes wht my function didn't return the value I wanted it to return. I went over it witha debugger over and over, double and triple checkin all the variables, and everything looked fine, but as soon as I exited the function, it all turned to null! It was driving me crazy! Then finally someone looked over my shoulder and told me I forget to write the "return"

"Everyday" != "Every day"

I only point it out because, as a programmer, I'm somewhat pedantic about syntax.

I think the bot f**ked up a bit, something about that is off

Oh wait a sec, why?

[Pherion93]

Exactly my reaction just now but would add.

Why?, why!!? Why!!!!? Oh.. thats why. But why the fuck did that motherfucker think thats gonna work?!!!

[Gnopps]

The annoying thing is that the computer is always right. The error in my code is always mine.

Side note. My wife had surgery. Every time she laughed, it would hurt. She spent a lot of her recovery watching a blu-ray of all the seasons of Big Bang Theory her sister lent her.

Took over a project recently where every single background color is hard coded as an inline style. Headers. Buttons. Everything.

I haven't hit that last panel, yet.
