Evil developers on Stackoverflow

This is amazing.

I tried it in java, and it works. What's so hilarious in this, it seems a genuine question.

Is this real ?
I love the chap who is trying with different strings.

@vasumr it's code trolling

I appreciate these moments because I can recognize them now. there was a time when I was Joe Z. Poor bastard.

poor guy...lol

I caught myself trying to up-vote emory's comment, despite knowing it's an image.

meh there is an easy way make a dictionary spam all the words in and use built in functions to do the rest in python

@batuhanfaik You don't need a dictionary for it, you just have to split the string into words and check which are the same if you reverse them. Then return the longest of them :-)

^ continue: Or, of course as we learned, just return 'racecar'.

@Python yeah you could do that but why return one variable instead of one i could return the amount of letters and the word in one line with dicts rather than return one by one with list (i know you can collapse it in to one line but simplicity might be the key for him)

oh dear lord :)))

😂😂😂😂😂😂. Evil.

"probably a Unicode issue" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This is some top notch trolling

I've only posted a couple times on SO with genuine questions - and both times I immediately received responses of hate and condescending feedback.

@developerTom I post quite a bit there, and yeah, it's full of asshats ready to pounce on anyone for missing the most minute of details. Also: rise to vote sir

you guys realize that's not Stack Overflow, right? That's another Stack Exchange site called "Programming Puzzles and Code Golf".
