Content TOP DEFINITION C f S A programming language for Real Men. Most languages try to provide a simplified way to solve specific problems well. C makes no such concession and tries to be mediocre at everything. It lets you program at a very high level, and a very low level in the same program. It lets you write procedural code, object oriented code, generic code and mix them all up. It makes you decide everything and provides no help if you get it wrong. It is by far the biggest, most complicated, ugly, down-right dangerous language you can use. But it does run fast. It takes at least twice as long to program in C as any other major language (except C). The men who program in C are Real Men. The women who program in C are Real Men too. You can spot a C programmer from their testosterone fueled swagger, and the unbelievable amount of contempt they inject into the phrase Java "programmer". They'll probably do the air quotes and all. Dev: 'Hey, Reg, you know C right? What does: "Isrc Cont. spp(52) : error C2679: binary '': no operator found which takes a right- hand operand of type 'int' (or there is no acceptable conversion) C: Program Files Microsoft Visual Studio 8VC include vector(392): could be 'std::VectoriteratorTy, Alloc std::VectoriteratorTy, Alloc::operator (const std::VectoriteratorTy, Alloc)' with TyMain::Cont, Allocstd::allocatorMain::Cont while trying to match the argument list "(std::VectoriteratorTy, Alloc, int)' with TyMain::Cont, Allocstd::allocatorMain::Cont " mean?' Reg: 'You missed a semicolon at the end of the line.'

Content B Interview and Resume review by tzr Stealth 16h grapevine Most ridiculous reasons for getting rejected? Applied for an intern position in an early-stage startup. Had a screening call with their HR. After the usual discussion, she told me that they won't be able to provide work laptops before getting converted to a full-time position. Asked me whether I had my own laptop and WIFI. After telling her I had a windows laptop, she told me that they were only looking for folks with Macbooks cut the call. 20 3 ( Share

Nothing like the sweet satisfaction of naming your corporate organizational script GetMinions.ps1 and watching your boss squirm. Corporate wants to track their human resources? Sure, let's call it what it really is! The fact this memory popped up 6 years later means it was absolutely worth getting scolded for. The best code documentation is the kind that tells the uncomfortable truth—just remember to rename it to something soulless like GetReportingStructure.ps1 before pushing to production.

The build tool hierarchy according to C++ developers! BSD Make gets a mild "meh" reaction. GNU Make earns a fancy tuxedo upgrade and approving smile. But NMAKE? That's Microsoft's Windows build tool that makes Pooh show his teeth in pure rage. It's the compiler equivalent of stepping on a LEGO while debugging a memory leak at 3AM. The perfect visual representation of why developers would rather rewrite their entire codebase than deal with Visual Studio's native build system.
