Things that remind you of WDTWTF members

This week I've been mostly wearing t-shirt and shorts to work.

And you call yourself an Englishman. Disgraceful.
-
@DogsB well I was outside last weekend at midday to do the garden type stuff so, sounds legit.
-
@Arantor checks out. Only mad dogs and englishmen would have went outside in last weekend’s heat.

It got up to just about comfortable here, no more. All this "great heat" stuff of the past few months seems to have largely passed this part of the world by...
-
@dkf It was pretty toasty outside last weekend - 27 here in Brighton, 33 was recorded in Kew Gardens.
But then the rains came and nerfed all the heat and so we are left with summer has been and gone and it was about a week long.

Cripple it? No, it'd clear up a lot of the dead weight keeping it back.

Oh, I don't know. None of them look like managers.

The second from the right in the front row looks like he has the manager stank eye down.

Oh, we had some summer back in June too. I remember having a barbecue... between scaffolding poles.
-
@dkf I vaguely remember that, it was pretty sunny out while I was moving house.

On the other hand, you might get fired.
But then, you'll have all the time you want to play video games.

@error when I read shit like that I feel like they’re just padding their resume with everything they’ve ever read about, or at least an exhaustive list of everything they ever touched.
I’ve used jupyter notebooks before, it would never dawn on me to list that. Should I also add{fmt}
andspdlog
? He’s got numpy, but no matplotlib. Maybe add pathlib or urllib2?Also, it’s common enough to write C/C++, but C#/C++ is an immediate no.

True, but knowing how recruiters "work", can we really blame them?
-
@error Just because it's not a framework/language/library/minor detail today doesn't mean that it won't be tomorrow.
And also what @topspin said. If you say Python, I kinda expect you to be able to figure out its libraries.
And, yeah, "C#/C++" is kinda a nope. I'd assume that means half-assed C# user with delusions of grandeur.
-
@cvi said in Things that remind you of WDTWTF members:

Or it means a C++ programmer that uses .Net (because said person can't separate C# from .Net)

The number of Unity users complaining that Unreal doesn't have C#, or worse, that Godot doesn't have it is astounding. (Godot has a caveat that web builds don't have it until Microsoft spews forth .NET Core 8 or whatever the next version is.)
The notion that everything must be C# or bust baffles me... like if you managed to learn enough C# to do anything you surely can learn another language?

Or a C# programmer that is forced to work on a C++ codebase from time to time because years ago somebody else got scared of the garbage collector and mandated that an application be written in C++/CLI for "performance reasons".
-
@dcon I'd write C++/C# in that case.
Although I have dabbled in C#, I'd never put in on my CV. Just because I can kinda write C or C++ in C# doesn't mean I know the latter. And I'd definitively rather avoid the embarrassment when somebody asks about it. I suspect that an actually competent C# dev will be able to tell the difference in seconds.
-
I'd write C# and C++ as two distinct items. Because more is better.
-
@Watson said in Things that remind you of WDTWTF members:

More is better, yes. And also you wouldn’t list “Python/Perl” as one item, because that makes it look like you know neither.

Disagree. It's dangerous to list the wrong things. I don't list FORTRAN, because that attracts the wrong kind of people. I'll have to reconsider Python the next time around on similar grounds.
Now, OTOH, listing a whole pile of ASM dialects and architectures ... that's my kind of obnoxious.
-
@cvi also triggers PTSD. Don’t forget about that.
-
@topspin said in Things that remind you of WDTWTF members:
PTSD
Yes, Python Traumatic Stress Disorder is very awkward. For example, you want to hang a picture on your otherwise empty wall. But then ... wait! Is the empty space on the wall significant? Is there something far indented to the right of it? That empty seat on the bus ... can you sit there or will that make the bus error out? And if you do sit there, can you align yourself with tabs like a civilized person or is this bus full of space-indenting barbarians?
-
@cvi To really trigger that, cut-n-paste some Python code into your work chat channel but remove all the spaces from the front of each line. Some chat software "helpfully" does this for you.

You perfectly described Kevin.

Well... C++ is two pluses easier, innit?

@GOG Depends. Are you a two star programmer, or an advanced three star programmer?
***c++

-reads that-

@accalia So you are not a
three star programmer
.

That's not code that anybody should lose sleep over, especially not old people who need more rest already.

***c++
Why do you have an array of double-indirect pointers?
EDIT: Guess it could be an array of pointers to arrays of pointers, but that's generally not an effective data structure.

You're assuming
c
is a normal variable? HA! It could be some weird object with even weirderoperator*
andoperator++(int)
overloads. (Yes, that's the C++ postfix overload syntax. Prefix isoperator++()
)
-
@dcon Right. Of course. My mind is tuned to C, which is comparatively sane.
