"Can you help me with this program?"
*sends code on Messenger*

Been there. Not fun at all

I generally say: put it on pastebin, then I might help you

How much code...

@jeeper At least 120 line in an editor. I don't remember exactly.

Messenger does have markdown for code, but still a bad idea for 120 lines

You just start the message with three backticks and the language name, like this:

```c

@astro29 Messenger has markdown?! Where? How? It doesn't work for me.

@Gradle doesn't work on mobile, only on facebook.com and messenger.com

Code markodown is ```csharp

Latex markdown is $$ \sqrt{x} $$
Or \( \sqrt{x} \) for inline with regular text

@Gradle oooof ouchie I’ve dropped a few lines in chat but jeez never would have considered putting in more than about 3

Change the whitespace formatting, add some redundant parenthesis, then send it back saying "here you go"

I find it cute, and even better when they get totally confused when I reply with a pastebin link for the commented code.

They're like, WHAT IS THIS SITE, HOW DO I WHAT WHERE?! THERES COLOR IN THE CODE!?!

Love those moments :)
