Thats Evil

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.com cosrnos: lifeofdavo: kierenwalkerpds: monobeartheater: absorr: ultrafacts: Source For more posts like this, CLICK HERE to follow Ultrafacts 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!" 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 so that's the function of a rubber duck I work at a startup and part of the onboarding package you get when you Tirst 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 your 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 Source: ultrafacts 254.607 notes

The one thing AI can do that humans can't: admit they're wrong without having an existential crisis first. After 15 years in tech, I've seen senior devs argue for hours defending broken code rather than just say "oops, my bad." Meanwhile, AI is over here like "You caught me! Let me fix that!" with zero ego damage. Maybe the real singularity isn't when machines get smarter than us, but when they get more emotionally mature.

Developers complain about physical pain while simultaneously coding in positions that would make chiropractors scream in horror. Nothing says "I'm debugging a production issue" like becoming a human pretzel with your spine at a 127-degree angle and your neck somehow phasing through the fourth dimension. The irony is we'll spend $3000 on a new MacBook but refuse to invest in proper ergonomics until our vertebrae have rearranged themselves into the shape of a question mark. It's like our bodies are running on deprecated frameworks that we refuse to update.

Content (ROBIN) swaglord420 the first thing our new hire did was fix a bug that's been bugging him forever as a user prior to joining. he then breathed a sigh of relief and submitted his two weeks' notice. wtf?? 5:44 AM - Mar 31, 2021 - Twitter Web App 5,806 Retweets 1,573 Quote Tweets 37K Likes 17

GASP! The absolute AUDACITY of suggesting you can write an entire C/C++ program in one line! 😱 The character's mind is literally BLOWN because this is programming's equivalent of saying "I can fit the entire ocean in this teacup!" Sure, technically you CAN cram everything into one horrific, eye-bleeding semicolon-fest by removing all line breaks and proper formatting, but the poor soul who has to maintain that monstrosity will be sending you glitter bombs in the mail for ETERNITY. It's like telling a chef you can make a five-course meal in one pot - POSSIBLE but at what COST to your SANITY?!
