How would I know that if he had never done it? It is, as I stated, a basic competency test.
" OK. You see that the variable was never declared. Maybe go into the fucking file at the line it has flagged and see that "OH, block_size was declared right above it! But bourne-again put "block_ize"..clearly that's a typo I can fix and push to the repo!" NO!!!!!!!!! THEY CAN'T EVEN DO THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" maybe because as I told you there is a command UNIQUE TO LINUX in there. you have a LINUX machine, why are you running this on WINDOWS when the professor said he can run both WINDOWS AND LINUX? go fuck yourself. i hate these fucking students so much
Don't worry, it gets worse at work.
If they can't code in any language then they don't know any language. There are only three (four) programming constructs, selection, sequence, and repetition. (The fourth being data declaration). There is no difference, no matter what language, in these constructs that should filter anyone. Lisp gets a bit confusing because of (((them))) but once you either get used to it or install a
brackets extension you're fine.
That is normal, unfortunately, in industry.I can't even expect ONE person to try and fix some simple fucking bug like a typo. I wrote block_ize instead of block_size and this neanderthal sends me a screenshot saying "I got this error
There are only 4 real programming language syntax families: Algol derivatives, ML derivatives, LISP derivatives and forth derivativesIf they can't code in any language then they don't know any language.

The worst of it is that C, Java, and Python are all ALGOLs so they're honestly all the same.
I wouldn't shoot myself if I were you. I can't tell you who to shoot, but not yourself.
Don't have to trauma dump on us like that, damn.
I warned the faculty that something like this would happen when we fully switched over to automatic grading systems. At my university, students submit their projects and assignments into premade git repositories, which have a runner which will take a Docker image we created and compile, test, then validate their project automatically. The students never see anything compiled/run on their end, and professors/TAs do not run student code on their machines. Supposedly they switched to this system after a student maliciously attacked a professor's computer with a final project, so they determined the sandboxed automatic grader was the answer.
Unpopular opinion: you can write your own layout algorithm, it's not hard. I think what trips people up is that it's a two pass algorithm at a minimum.
I think I'm ok with being unemployed now. Just kidding..I regret not majoring in Computer Engineering.
Yeah, that's a good point. I've met a fair amount of students one semester away from graduation that have no idea what GitHub is.
That is a fascinating method of auto-grading? I've never heard of that before. Our chair is trying to push my professors to use AI to grade. This is a bad idea because although the students use AI to cheat through the degree, they also get quite angry if you use AI to grade. We have a few graders (both undergrads and grads) that do this and the students are vicious. I've already been messaged by other students who have been asking me if I think the feedback left by their grader is AI-like. Yes it is btw. It's stupid obvious. I just give them the email to our chair and tell them to express themselves!
My father says the same sort of shit happens in carpentry. It doesn't really matter what field it is.
It's nowhere near as hard as a lot of folks make it out to be. I coded a decent enough little UI library in MacPascal circa 2001 in high school, as a presentation layer for my 3D sphere physics engine. Got a that working and an ordered dither algorithm, mostly without documentation or anything, as a neophyte.
Building UI's isn't hard, it's tedious. Building a UI framework that doesn't make you want to suck start a shotgun while building a "complex" UI is a monumental task.
I don't trust the GUI Git tools and do everything manually myself.
