print,'% I only speak code.'

[Bill McBlueState]

ugghhh..

Don't you hate that feeling when you've been writing code all day, then you try to talk to a person? I have a hard time making the shift to complete sentences....

Man, I'm such a nerd.

[Kierkegaard]

1. I hate goofing in 'real life' and trying to air type Ctrl Z...

[Bill McBlueState]

3. yeah, I hate that

How you have to say things right the first time, instead of editing yourself 20 times until it makes sense.

[Huckebein the Raven]

2. std::cout << "I know how you feel" << std::endl;

std::cout << ":)" << std::endl;

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

6. Parse error before "std"

Where's the semicolon? Pffft.

[Huckebein the Raven]

7. oops sorry recompile

:)

[midnight armadillo]

4. No, not FORTRAN, aaagghhh!

I am struggling with Fortran 90 right now. What freakin' stupid hack of a goadawful language, Fortran 77.

I don't really care if there's a modest speed advantage over C or C++. At least those languages actually have functions to handle strings and file I/O that are useful!!

I've also spent a lot of time using garbage collected languages like Java, Python, and Matlab, and the memory allocation system (and pointer hiding) in F90 is unbelievably awkward to use.

:puke:

18. Programers who go to hell are forced to program in FORTRAN, Pascal,

and modula 2

[qnr]

20. Guess I'll sign up for hell then... give me Modula-2 and Oberon

any day ... or Ada.

[salvorhardin]

5. From what my German friend tells me

he sees very little difference between Lisp and German.

[Kellanved]

14. Chomsky is probably very proud.

But German uses less brackets. :hi:

[eataTREE]

8. #!/usr/bin/python

import sys
sys.stdout.write("I hear you, man.\n")
sys.exit(0)

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

19. I spit at languages that require indentation and newlines.

Whoever invented Python is a closet COBOL nostalgiac.

[redqueen]

9. But nerds are awesome.

:loveya:

[nickgutierrez]

10. Yes. All the time.

I find it especially hard when you're first trying to learn the language you're coding in.

[qnr]

11. Really

with Ada_Text_IO;
use Ada_Text_IO;
procedure really;

Put_Line( "Man, do I know that feeling....");
New_Line;

end really;

[PBX9501]

12. ksh..

% %blow
%blow: No such job.

I love trying to explain any type of program to a non programmer.

[eataTREE]

15. then there's the old csh joke...

% got a light?
got: no match.

Wow, I really am a nerd. Not only that, I'm an OLD nerd. Ack.

[PBX9501]

17. Me too.

Started on mvs and mpe systems. Rexx was useful back then. Finished on z/os on z hardware. 64 gigs of ram was the biggest when I retired. I know they are capable of 256 now and possibly 512 gb of main mem with 6megs of l2 per chip. Nothing beats a mainframe for linear computing.

I loved telling the guys out of school how retro linux was. I keep up with a few of the guys who worked for me and give them a hard time about linux and aix running in mainframe partitions.

I had an ee background and used machines for modeling switching gear performance. The sr guys were sa's. A modern mainframe is something to behold.

Forgot my favorite os/370 and JCL..

[eataTREE]

16. And lest we forget...

> man: why did you get a divorce?
man:: Too many arguments.

[cheezus]

13. i'll bet you balance things

sometimes (when you're working (or just goofing off) on (your really cool) computer) that happens to me

or I start using semi-colons instead of periods;

[Endangered Specie]

21. If ((thread.page(x)>1)||(time.current() - time.mostrecentpost(x)>300))

{
thread(x).autopost.kick()
}

[hunter]

22. You can always tell if I've been coding before I come here.

Lot's of parenthesis and quote marks; often nested. Semicolons too.

[qnr]

23. Not coding related, but

I use ellipses a lot online, only place I ever use them, actually

[aePrime]

24. I'm actually writing code right now

char msg[] = {65,104,104,44,32,121,101,115,44,32,99,111,100,101,46,32,32,73,32,117,
110,100,101,114,115,116,97,110,100,46,32,32,73,102,32,121,111,117,32,
107,110,111,119,32,119,104,97,116,32,116,104,105,115,32,115,97,121,115,
44,32,99,111,110,103,114,97,116,117,108,97,116,105,111,110,115,44,32,
121,111,117,39,114,101,32,97,32,110,101,114,100,46,0};

[foo_bar]

25. OMG!

Don't worry, your secret's safe with us.
