Reply to: Will AtW retire when he hits 25,000?

Do you think you can learn Python faster than sasguru?

I'll wrestle with the idea.

Wrestle. Python. Geddit!

You need me to write any code?

It couldn't be worse than his.

I'm looking forward to the 25th customer party.

I'm not sure I'll be alive by then.

Oh I fecking hate developers.

No, you hate yourself, but just haven't learned to express it.

[MarillionFan]

I bet they feel the same way for a PM who exasperatedly says later "it was obvious what I meant"

If I need to explain it to you, then I may as well hire a Bob as opposed to a UK contractor.

Considering he promised to leave for good when he had 1 post under 13k, then came back a few weeks later I'd take any implications of retirement with a massive pinch of salt.

Assuming you meant to leave him stuck on 24999, it's actually wrong.

Sadly an awful lot of developers will just transpose that into language X and think no more of it.

I would have gone for something along the lines of

if poster != AtW or postcount < 25000 then postcount++ else raise error "sofa so good my squirrel loving friend!"

That's how I write pseudo code to get a point over. Plus if I'd known it was a test i would have studied.

You weren't lying when you said you'd forgotten how to write code.

I was just thinking that myself.
