Hi, we're Intel and we don't give a shit about standards. Come work for us!

To be honest, I only now realized that
random()
andsrandom()
actually do exist.Half a bonus WTF-point for not using the
<cstdlib>
header. A minor nitpick, but it's different when you see such code in your codebase, and when you see it on a fucking billboard.

Unless
time()
got moved tostdlib
while I wasn't watching, that shouldn't even compile!I love the return statement too.
Edit: apparently, it does. Huh. I guess
time.h
is a subset ofstdlib.h
or something?

I like how being a programmer and working at Intel are mutually exclusive events. I think. I'm just pretending I can read Polish.

What return statement?
What bugs me most is the "message".
Flip a coin: if tails "Do you program?", if heads "Maybe just looking for you" 1

Granted, the billboard hangs close to the CS department of a polytechnic. My department of my polytechnic, to be exact.

To be exact, you're either programming, or they're looking for you. And the bottom-right corner says that "Intel Gdansk is looking for programmers!"
So, they're apparently looking for programmers who don't program. I can do that.

What return statement?
Exactly. And they even used
int main()
, if it werevoid
, as wrong as it is, at least it would be kinda forgiveable.

It's still better than
void main()
, which is Just Plain Wrongâ„¢

I read
void main()
as "there is no meaning to life"

Possibly. But I never investigated it. Because I don't tend to lean on obscure spec details to fix my shitty code.

Maybe they are just waiting someone to call them and point out the mistakes... then they hire him/her?

Wouldn't it be easier to just write "pedantic dickweed needed, please contact us"?

How many people here would want to work for Chipzilla?

I worked there for a number of years. The place I am now holds them up as a model to be followed, but with more WTF.

But how could they be sure they got the right guy?
-
Be careful man. This usually means they are looking for people to write rules for java rules engines.

Someone wants to emulate ChipZilla? Surely that's today's TRWTF?

They have been very successful, and there are some things they do very, very well. Nobody does manufacturing better than they do. Unfortunately, the things that are worth emulating, we emulate... imperfectly, and we also emulate some of their less worthy characteristics. It is perhaps both fortunate and unfortunate that we do not have the market dominance in our arena to emulate their sales and marketing practices, because I think we probably would if we could.
