Reminds me of my first day of a computer programming class. My teacher told us to write down instructions on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Then he would follow the instructions.
“Put the peanut butter inside two slices of bread.” He’d grab the jar of peanut butter and put the whole jar inside two slices of bread
“Grab a knife and scoop out the peanut butter.” He’d start stabbing the lid.
Beautiful analogy of what it’s like to deal with technology
that's good, but real computer programming is more like
Error: file "PeanutButter.h" not found
Exit status code 1
That's because you're a noob and forgot to add this at the end:
What language is this capital I If acceptable and how do I purge it from my brain.
English and you purge it by invading Britain and forcing them to speak a cool language like Italian or Spanish
Pssst if the company's realise it's that easy then they wont need anyone to fix it
Exit status code -3736228494
In a Java program that isn't supposed to be able to break like that
"Yes. Of course I have one exit status code. How do I look at it?"
I remember seeing a video where somebody did that with their kids! https://youtu.be/cDA3_5982h8
I thought it was hilarious. But you're totally right, in the comments everyone's talking about how they're programming class had that same thing :)
