Today I spent ten minutes because I didn't see the difference between 'cmp' and 'cpm'

Do I have a slight case of dyslexia? :O

It must be so difficult to be a dyslexic programmer :O

If life gives you melons...

Slightly, yes

@Charon92 you should checkout my last rant. That was from my colleague

@asgs lolcalhost cracked me up 😂

Happened to me too at aome point. Very annoying

All my colleagues seem like they are dyslexic, every variable and readme is mispelled throughout. Even alarms and warnings in our monitoring is mispelled. It hurts so much.

I have it and if this was the first case : no

@J4s0n It happens to me a few times a year

@NotWhoIUsedToBe miss spelling isn't everything so I don't think so.

@J4s0n i know, and i know they can't control it so i help and fix their mistakes while trying to not be to annoying.

@ananaszjoe the definitely no. My dyslexia show's when I want to write a word but I can't but the letters in the right order in my mind. This sounds more like a type you that you didn't catch. Something very normal

@NotWhoIUsedToBe You know even though I have it, I am the one who corrects his co-workers. And it's not annoying if you help them, I just hate that people play it down.

Okay you got me worried. As of now I was thinking it is normal but here me out.

1. I use to misspell a lot. It's happening from past three years. Plus I got confuse about spelling of smiliiar words.

2. But use to get null object reference error a lot. So I developed a habit of copying the text and pasting it next use of the variable.

3. In extreme cases I keep on looking the same line which complier says has error. But still can't see the difference. In such situation other dev help me out.

Am I dyslexics?

@OPM46 nobody on devrant can answer that.

But there’s a huge difference. One is in alphabetic order as it should be.

People also say I have cdo.

@OPM46 I'm pretty sure we're not dyslexic, showing one of its symptom ever so slightly at most. But we're just a group of anonim devs here as @J4s0n pointed out so if you have worries a specialist might be able to tell.

btw, I was staring at the misspelled word for minutes too, unable to notice the difference

imho, this is why abbreviations should be avoided in programming languages. cpm or cmp could mean a million things. And because the meaning is lost, mixing letters around is easy.

Even if it is assembly. Use the preprocessor or something to make it human readable. Let optimizer/obfuscator take care of the rest.

@tamusjroyce I pretty much agree, but I was just a little lazy :p
