as the upcoming version of Cookie Clicker is now localized in multiple languages i’ve had to deal with the eventuality of players naming themselves with something other than plain latin alphabet characters, and to account for this i’ve simply had to replace

with

it just works!

Me: I want to plot 2 completely unrelated datasets and display them next to each other, how do I do that

Google: you want to display different columns of the same data set next to each other?

Me: no the data comes from two separate arrays, they’re not related, I just wanna see them

Google: they come from the same place you mean??

Me: NO. They have NOTHING to do with each other. One of them may as well be “how many clowns are in LA per year” and the other one “size of the plant in my house over time”

Google: ok so you take the first colomn and the second colomn of the singular dataset you are using-

Me: *cries over graphs*

Ok I figured it out by Frankensteining 3 different answers together that was a mess

[ashitposterlearnstocode]

I ENDED UP NOT USING ANY OF THIS AT ALL

Like 6 hours of work culminating in a nice looking graph that would then immediately get thrown out :_)

Using C in one class and Python in another is giving me whiplash cause C’s is like

“you have to let me know me beforehand what type of variable explicitly this is when you declare it, and don’t forget to initialize it or else it will be filled with random numbers, and you have to manually tell me exactly how many bits of memory this string is going to need and if you forget 1 semicolon Nothing Will Work”

meanwhile Python is like

“what type variable is this? You don’t need to know that, silly. How is any of this working? You don’t need to know that either! Stop asking questions and let just me take care of it :).”

I can’t be the only one that has to use a different color theme for their IDE depending on what language I am currently coding in, right? Right??

Development environment: *has a perfectly good UI and takes maybe 4 clicks to start a new project*

The beginner tutorial for it: “so to start your “hello world” project, what you’re gonna do is open the command line and type in-”

“Any NP-Complete problem can be reduced to any other NP-complete problem and you can just keep doing that in a loop if you so choose. In other words, NP-complete go brrrrr.”

me: starts typing a new line of code

coding software: WHat IS THat??? whAT Th?E FuCK Is thAT??? WHat arE  YoU ???DOInG ThaTs nOt? ReAL cODE?????

me: finishes typing the line

When will I learn

When will I learn

To check and see if Java already has the thing I’m trying to build before I spend two days staring at error messages on a tiny laptop screen

Practice question for a specific concept: ok it’s easy but first we have to set up [other concept I’m not good at] in a helper function

Me: ok well guess I’m spending all of today learning about this other thing huh

Test: this question is only worth a few points because it’s basically just asking what this code snippet’s function is when it’s ~super obvious~ at a glance what it does

Me, who has to test my own code every few seconds to see what it does:

When you run your code with the first test case and it works perfectly:

When you start to run the other test cases:

@fairygodrobot Is this accurate?

100% Literally Factually Correct

Roflmao this is painful
