lol if your works don't pay for your software tools

paying for 'software tools' is different because im assuming ur talking about things that are actually more useful than free software alternatives. we are talking about sublime text here, a thing that is worse than vim.

i strongly dislike the use of var in c# because i once came across a project that exclusively used var and in trying to read it i almost died because it was pointlessly hard to read and using intellisense to figure out what every loving method returned so i could have some idea of what the hell was going on in this program was pointlessly inconvenient

sounds like the hubris of a lovely programmer. you've come to the right place.

how about a true life terrible programmer story

found a painful bug in production yesterday written by a "senior developer" coworker

code:
object integerValue = datagridrow[hardcodednumber].value;
object oldIntegerValue = datagridrow[anotherhardcodednumber].value;
if (integerValue == oldIntegerValue)
{
    DoNeedful();
}
can any of yout errible programmers tell me why needful never gets done

i hope this post makes you a better program

the worst goddamn programmers are the ones who poo poo all over other developer's worth because that developer once made a bug that was probably leftover code from an old change or something. people make bugs all the time and u probably make the worst.

Before knowing all that, programmers should first learn to shower at least once every other day.

But that's not gonna happen so onwards with the masturbatory number conversions. I think hex is pretty cool and also make pretty colors.
