The Ultimate Developer Power Trip

Content Replying to If you knew how game development goes, you'd know that visuals are one of the first things done. This game is 4 years into planning development. What you see is almost exactly what you will get. The next year is mission coding and debugging. All backend stuff. It does look ass. 01:13 19092022 Twitter for Android 61 Quote Tweets 9 Likes ProdrammerHumor.io

When you mix programming concepts with household items, disaster strikes! The joke here is a brilliant wordplay between Tupperware (the food container brand) and Tupleware (a fictional brand that makes "immutable goods"). In programming, a tuple is an ordered, immutable collection of elements. Once created, you can't modify it - just like how this poor soul can't return their 25 containers because immutability is their whole selling point! The face of pure despair is exactly what happens when you realize your variable can't be reassigned and you're stuck with that value forever. Just another day in functional programming hell!

The greatest irony of software development: writing documentation so good your team lead shakes your hand in approval, then immediately forgetting what your own code does 20 minutes later. It's like building an elaborate treasure map, then getting lost in your own backyard. This is why I keep a sticky note on my monitor that just says "Future You Is An Idiot" as a reminder to document even the obvious stuff. The handshake of approval is just the universe's setup for the punchline that is your memory.

Ah, the classic "accidental programming genius" moment. Son spends 8 hours creating a Frankenstein's monster of Stack Overflow snippets, and Dad swoops in with the programming equivalent of "have you tried turning it off and on again?" The sheer dumb luck of suggesting an integer instead of float and watching it magically work is the digital version of hitting the TV to fix the reception. The best part? Dad has absolutely no idea why it worked either.

It took me a while to get used to writing boolean variables with an "Is prefix, instead of the "Eh" suffix that Canadians use when programming For example: MyObj.IsVisible Myobj.visibleth share edited Oct 25 '11 at 21:35 community wiki 2 revs, 2 users 94 AlishahNovin 21 This is a joke, right? - Philip Jun 10 '11 at 19:09
