validators is a shitty name for something that actually does type conversion.

People throwing thrash on the way usually is a sign of not enough trash cans in an area.

No. I regularly see trash on the ground with sometimes as much as 5 trash cans in sight that are less than 20m away.

If you cut yourself with a knife, it might be your fault. And it might be that the knife is sharp on both sides and has no handle.

I like to jump out of bed and put weight on the leg.

That is if my blanket doesn’t trip me.

20 seconds, Germany. Waiting while they checked if my name was on the list.

Completely depends on how often you need to write boilerplate code, and how error-prone it is.

After writing hundreds of instances of ‘fetch this from the server and show an error if it doesn’t work’, I finally wrote a helper for that. It took 2 hours, shouts at me if I use it wrong, and instantly makes my classes easier to read because all the boilerplate is gone. As an added bonus, the invocation is so small that Copilot can write it error-free, which it couldn’t before.

So fetching things is now a thing of a few seconds instead of one minute with a chance of making a mistake. I say it’s worth it.

C) Write a highly specific, custom-tailored boilerplate generator that does 80% of the work and needs only a day or two to implement.

Maybe start rendering pages right?

The low eyebrow looks strikingly neanderthal.

Not Germany.

For once.

And for the time being.

Coding must be a nightmare if you’re choosing programming languages at random 😱

But you must also be learning quite a lot.

Programs aren’t written by a single team of developers that speak the same language. You’d be calling a library by a Hungarian with additions from an Indian in a framework developed by Germans based on original work by Mexicans.

If no-one were forcing all of them to use English by only allowing English keywords, they’d name their variables and functions in their local language and cause mayhem to readability.

[Edit:] Even with all keywords being forced to English, there’s often half-localized code.

I can’t find the source right now, but I strongly believe that Steve McConnell has a section in one of his books where he quotes a function commented in French and asks, “Can you tell the pitfall the author is warning you about? It’s something about a NullPointerException”. McConnell then advises against local languages even in comments

Even international waters (or, as I just googled, the “high seas”, as is the more appropriate term) have laws. Usually you are subject to the laws of the ship’s flag state.

Too bad being dead gives the −100% strength debuff.

[Edit:] Sorry, I didn’t realize that this was the thread that took “die in funeral” part literally.

Not the corpse, but those who helped him.

Heavily depends on the jurisdiction that applies to you when you die. People will be better able to help you if you disclose that.

Do they think

no.
