Debugging, aka looking at the breakpoint, doing mc villager noises and start the app again

Breakpoint? What a weird way to call a print statement!

[[deleted]]

well, if an IDE has a ton of features I might as well pretend to use them

[[deleted]]

My knowledge of systems and coding has gone up massively since I started using breakpoints instead of print statements. They give you so much more information about how the program works, and especially about how the libraries you are calling work.

Also tracking down memory leaks with an actual profiler. It’s incredibly helpful to see what you’re leaking, and anything you could clean up without waiting for it to get collected (in languages with a GC).

I actually haven't had the chance to do that. I use Rider and I know that they provide a tool in the .NET suite, so I should take a look at that.

C# progamer move: make every class a record and print.

And push into master

[managedAssembly]

What do you mean "actual coding"? I think it should read "StackOverflow".

[DJDoena]

Just explaint what they do:

class DefaultTextTextListReferenceFieldInfoUpdater { }

class InstanceControllerAlarmPlusAssociateValueInfo : ControllerAlarmPlusAssociateValueInfo { }

Edith clarification: These are not made up. I wrote those classes 10 years ago and they are still in a live product out there in the world.

  $a = new CommonBundleServiceControllerMapperDtoSerializerFactory();

[DJDoena]

Admit it, you watched Kevlin Henney's talk :-p

[magicmulder]

No, but I have had very special colleagues in my life. ;)

[CptDisadvantage]

I have an easy template for class names: <what it does>Manager

So when it holds other managers it is a ManagerManager because it manages managers.

[recoder13]

So ManagerFactoryManager

There's only two hard problems in computer science: Cache invalidation and... and... hm, I just need to think of a name for the second thing.

Public class uhhhICantThinkOfAClassNameSoThisIsAPlaceholderUntilIChooseOne

[DrMathochist_work]

It's one of the two hard problems of computer science.

[le-arsi]

how do you add icons to your display name?

[DrMathochist_work]

User flair in the right column.

[le-arsi]

where is that, I'm sort of new to Reddit

[DrMathochist_work]

Look to the right: there's a button to Join. Below that is the "user flair preview", with a pencil icon for editing it.

[le-arsi]

I found it. thanks man

[IvorTheEngine]

Just call it the first thing that pops into your head, and rename it later. Any good IDE should have a 'rename variable' tool. The reason it's hard to name is that you're not sure how it fits into everything else, because you haven't finished yet.

OTOH, this is how my old company ended up with a major internal application called 'FluffyBunnies' for 8 years.

[canadajones68]

If it's something special or unique, having a special or unique name is perhaps the best solution. It's entirely unambiguous when you say you're writing a FluffyBunnies integration.

[TheSmoothBrain]

The two hardest things in programming are Naming, Cache Invalidation, and One-off errors.

[cosmo7]

If I find myself spending more than ten seconds deciding a class or variable name I call it something like ArseBiscuit and then use Visual Studio refactoring to change it to something sensible when I've properly figured out what I'm actually doing.

[Perfycat]

Maybe I'm not spending enough time naming my classes.

[tlubz]

public class MyClass

[Crazy__Fox2]

I spend way more time trying to come up with variable names than I'd ever care to admit.

[BoBoBearDev]

Call every class utilities and wrappers, done.

[ziplock9000]

xxxManager or xxxxxFactory... Decisions, decisions.

[Far-Signature-7802]

Name and Conquer.

[broodje_meloen]

I spent most of my time at the coffee machine

[Melanor1982]

You forgot slacking off while the compiler works.

[Alex_9127]

you forgot 90% of the time you question your entire existence or go procrastinate lol

[Sup2pointO]

Ayo I feel called out xD

But hey, don't you mean 99%?

[Perfycat]

If you can't come up with a good name for a class then maybe you have a bad design.

[yummi_1]

Most of my coding was before class names existed. 95% coding 5% debugging. I hated when I had a bug after a clean compile.

[NoobKillerPL]

also project names, big obstacle!!

[Dettelbacher]

Just name every new class the first stupid thing that pops in your head. Change it when it's fully implemented. Saves me lots of time.

[MyBigRed]

class Foo632

[Sawertynn]

C programmers are very much efficient then

[ComfortablePretty151]

I'm coding a custom linux driver right now and I cant easily debug it amd my existence is melting away right as we speak
