In case you were curious, there's a whole 44 repositories written in Brainfuck on GitHub.

I've been working tirelessly on a personal project recently. Decided to take a look at how far I've come in the past 2 weeks, only to realize I've been refactoring and abstracting my code so much that the program actually does _less_ than it did before.

Kind of surprising to see how many people here learned to program while under 18 (like me) instead of from a traditional college. Curious if that affects anyone else's choice to go to college.

How I learned to program:

My father installed a DOS VM on my eMac when I was 7 and started learning in QBASIC. In my opinion, it's still one of the best ways to get started with programming due to its simplicity.

We all complain about project managers, but where can project managers complain about developers? There's needs to be a pmRant app too.

Can someone please tell me what is so attractive about a dynamically typed language? It's not like it makes anyone's life easier – it just leads to more unexpected errors.

How to write a proper Hello World program in Java:

public class ProperJavaProgram {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            // Write the hello world file
            List<String> lines = Arrays.asList(
                    "#include <stdio.h>",
                    "int main() {",
                    "printf(\"Hello World!\\n\");",
                    "return 0;",
                    "}"
            );
            Path file = Paths.get("awesome-program.c");
            Files.write(file, lines, Charset.forName("UTF-8"));

            // Execute the file
            executeCommand("cc awesome-c-program.c -o awesome-executable");
            executeCommand("./awesome-executable");
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("You're screwed, just use Java and get over it. " + e);
        }
    }

    public static void executeCommand(String command) {
        try {
            Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command); // Run the process
            BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream())); // Get the output
            String s; // Print out the output
            while ((s = stdInput.readLine()) != null) {
                System.out.println(s);
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("You're screwed, just use Java and get over it. " + e); // UR SCREWED
        }
    }
}

Considering Taylor Swift's history with Apple – including Apple Music and having a programming language named after her – it'd be far more efficient to file bug reports with her rather than on Radar.

Multi-threaded programming explained with puppies...

What to do in case of fire:

Swizzling is like smoking weed; you're not supposed to do it, but a hell of a lot of people do it anyways.

PSA to all non-software engineers:

Hacker instanceof SoftwareEngineer && !(SoftwareEngineer instanceof Hacker)

Please, next time I say I am a software engineer, do not assume I can magically hack the FBI nor can I get those nude pics off your friend's phone.

How to make enemies:

#include <unistd.h>

int main(void) {
while(1) fork();
}

Some people just need to accept that the only way to reach me when I'm coding is the message me — even if they're sitting right next to me.
