It Worked On My Machine

Content There's a thing called "Rubber duck debugging" in which a programmer explains the code to a rubber duck in hopes of finding the bug Ultrafacts tumblr. farm ultrafacts Source I absorr Some of you are reblogging because you think its funny that programmers would talk to ducks. I'm reblogging because I think its funny picturing a programmer explaining their code, realizing what they did when they explain the bad code, then grabbing the strangling the duck while yelling "WHY WAS THE FIX THAT SIMPLE!? AM I GOING BLIND!" monobeartheater AS A PROGRAMMER I CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU FUCKING DO WE HAD TO BAN THE DUCKS FROM MY CLASSES BECAUSE EVERYONE WOULD FLIP THE DUCK OR THROW IT AT A WALL OR SOMETHING WHEN THEY FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM IN THEIR CODE kierenwalkerpds so that's the function of a rubber duck lifeofdavo work at a startup and part of the onboarding package you get when you first start working here now includes a rubber duck. We also have a bigger version of the duck for the extra hard problems. Sometimes one duck doesn't cut it and you need to borrow vour neighbors to get more dUcks on the problem. one time we couldn't figure out why something wasn't working right so we assembled the counsel of ducks and by the grace of the Duck Gods were we able to finally come to a solution. These ducks have saved many lives and should be respected for the heroes they are.

Content 1 had plans for last week to fix all 5 bugs in the code. Only 9 left.

I see we've discovered the elusive "filterception" in the wild. Some brilliant mind decided to filter the filters with a filter that filters filters. And they even helpfully commented "// filter" at the end – you know, in case the five other instances of "filter" weren't clear enough. This is the coding equivalent of saying "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" and expecting it to make sense. Somewhere, a code reviewer is staring at their screen, questioning their career choices.
