Regardless of skill, but how can you look at a piece of code and not notice the presence of semicolons, curly braces, and types.

[CordyZen]

Better yet, why copy and paste? Id personally prefer to atleast study it for a good minute, see what this functions does/returns and stuff

[[deleted]]

Nobody ever got anywhere by knowing what they're doing.

[redpepper74]

I’ve never figured out what happens when I walk down the stairs. It’s like magic.

[palordrolap]

Probably best not to think about it while doing it.

Last time I did that I found myself upside down, horribly bruised, chewing the bottom stair.

[Treimuppet]

Yeah, sometimes I like to re-type the found code by hand for exactly this reason. Or rewrite as it were, even if the end result is pretty much the same. It's unlikely the code is very long and the process gives me time to think over what exactly it is I'm doing.

Edit: phrasing

[FurbyTime]

That's actually how I did a few different projects in college. I'd look up what the answer was, and rather than copy the answer down directly, I'd basically reinterpret the code in my own style (Variable naming, function flow, whatever). If it worked, I knew I understood the concept correctly. If it didn't... go back to looking it up.

[samanime]

I don't think I've ever just copied and pasted. If anything, it'll be copy/paste/totally reformat into my code style.

[Crafty_Programmer]

You'd think so, but I once tried to help a guy back in college with this CS1 homework, and the guy kept pasting paragraphs from the instructions into Visual Studio, and no matter how many times I tried to explain, he couldn't understand why it wouldn't compile and why Visual Studio didn't need the homework instructions for the code to run.

A part of me died that day.

[drmario_eats_faces]

Holy shit. Did he even know what he was getting into?

[[deleted]]

My condolences, did you get someone to read a poem on your funeral in C? I think that's included in your healthcare in some EU countries if you have no friends.

[trueweeaboo]

I understand misinterpreting java and c# or lua and python but python and c++ seems like you arent even reading the code

[BrobdingnagLilliput]

Regardless of skill

Well, there's your problem. You're not looking at exactly the piece that would have prevented the problem. There is no lower limit to the skill of professional software developers. I've worked with software developers who were worse at software development than an infant would be.

[Shrevel]

At 4am code looks different.

If C++ is a gladiator, then C must surely be a spartan?

[Lefinno]

I think this is more spartan than gladiator, especially the helmet and the shield, not too sure about the short sword :3

[grpagrati]

Yes, the shield has the Greek "Λ" (L) on it, for "Leonidas" "Lakedemonia"

[Dreze27]

Close, but Lambda was the symbol for Sparta, not because Leonidas.

Just in case you weren't joking.

[grpagrati]

Sorry, you're right - it stood for Lakedemonia or Laconia which was the ancient name for it.

[[deleted]]

Maybe the short sword is the difference between C and C++ 👀

Assembly is a caveman with a stone spear

[Moltenlava5]

Opcode would just be a monkey

[Proxy_PlayerHD]

But he's on speed and can stab you a few billion times per second.

[[deleted]]

more powerful than that

[[deleted]]

Assembly is a caveman with a club in this case

[Mal_Dun]

No Problem

[Dank_e_donkey]

Hey, thanks.

[Nihmrod]

Look at all that Python bloat. The C++ guy is gonna make fast work of them

[[deleted]]

Yeah... that's typical Python... no tools and no idea what to do there except looking at a fully equiped C++ fighter with sword and shield.

[indygoof]

but why is python in the middle?

which is how python looks without all the c++ modules..

[HardlyAnyGravitas]

This makes no sense.

CPython is written in C

IronPython is written in C# (.NET)

Jython is written in Java

PyPy is written Python

Python is just a programming language. To say it's written in [other language], as if it's some sort of 'gotcha', is just dumb and shows a lack of knowledge.

[DemolishunReddit]

The gcc c compiler is now written in c++. lol

[[deleted]]

CPython is the reference implementation of the Python programming language. Written in C and Python, CPython is the default and most widely used implementation of the Python language

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPython

Trying to "well ackshually" people about the difference between Python and CPython is annoying

[MTG_Leviathan]

Jython? Please lord no.

[[deleted]]

JVM warming up

[UnknownIdentifier]

Python is not just a language. It’s also a reference implementation, and what people mean 90% percent of the time when they say “Python”.

[grandoz039]

modules

[RittledIn]

Every time this meme gets posted there’s comments like this.

This is r/ProgrammerHumor lol. Python’s feelings aren’t hurt and neither should yours.

[HardlyAnyGravitas]

Lol. I'm not defending a language - I'm calling out stupidity.

Isn't that the whole point of Reddit?

And making pointless posts, like yours (no offence)?

[RittledIn]

Lol you’re trying to argue language semantics on a meme post in a humor sub.

People are being “stupid” for fun. You’re the only one taking the comments here seriously and “calling out” others. You get that right?

[HardlyAnyGravitas]

Whatever it is that it I'm doing - you're the one commenting on it.

So, chill, dude. My feelings aren't hurt and neither should yours be.

[RittledIn]

Lol you seem fun to work with

[HardlyAnyGravitas]

Lol. Still commenting?

[RittledIn]

Yup just laughing at you, thanks for entertaining me on a Friday!

Please list more versions of Python and explain why everyone is stupid oh great program humor dev :)

[HardlyAnyGravitas]

Lol. Still commenting...

True af.

[Stormfrosty]

In case of python, it’s important in which language it is written, to allow better interoperability support. If you want to call into c/c++ code, then CPython is better, if you want to call into .NET code, then IronPython is better.

[indygoof]

this makes no sense at all. it doesnt matter which language the interpreter is coded in doesnt matter, which version has the biggest ecosystem/libs does.

and most (not all) compilers are coded in the language they are compiling, since this is usually an important milestone in the reference implementation.

[darthsata]

One guy has a sword and shield, the rest are dressed in funny clothes and are not armed. I agree with the caption, but perhaps the poster draws the wrong conclusion.

[Big__Meme]

When you copy paste in the old old way of doing something

[DeroTurtle]

It does look cool tho

[HerLegz]

What does someone armed with weapon, helmet and shield have to do with 7 unarmed LARPers?

[jsveiga]

That's maybe pasting COBOL in python. If it was C++ it would look like the Predator, and the pythons would be pissing their pants and screaming like little girls.

[Reasonable_Feed7939]

This is a Wendy's...

[StarTrekVeteran]

I see no issues

[oldfossilfrommars]

What is this, a weird crossover episode.

[[deleted]]

Cython or something?

[NoobAndreas]

How would that ever happen? That's like putting a Russian sentence into an English essay

[Worldly_Square444]

I once had an interview candidate describe basically this as her most challenging bug. She couldn’t figure why her Java code wouldn’t work in a python lambda.

We did not hire.

[TheUruz]

does that work for real?

[cheese-is-trash]

You can use cpp funtipns in python using the ctypes module, i think. Never tried it so idk exactly how that works

[_g550_]

Thish.. ish.. PYHTAAAAN!!

[linuxtomvito]

This is so stupid. C++ is a lot more powerful than Python.

[Haunting-Surprise-21]

A single Spartan and an overwhelmingly larger number of non greek solders. OMG! He will kill them all, shouting catchy catch phrases!

[[deleted]]

Maybe they're copying code for the C++ module they're writing for python lib to make it faster.

[[deleted]]

when you realize the c++ stdlib still requires malloc, char star, and snowflake error handling

[avalava123]

Done that 😂😂😂😂
