if (isProgrammersDay) { beer++; }

gamebit073• 14 years ago

i would prefer { ++beer; }

wattonen4• 14 years ago

why?

hso9791• 14 years ago

in my case ++beer--

RivieraKid3• 14 years ago

don't forget unit tests

gamebit073• 14 years ago

Possible tests i could think of:

date_count_of_year is 255.

beer_available should return 200 response

non availability of beer should return 404

apetite to drink = True

Feel free to add more!

My favourite methodology, the only one that is not full of BS (I'm not kidding).

jdpage• 14 years ago

So far? Sitting through an 8:30am Stat class. Afterwards? Catching up on sleep, then working on my research (by which I mean programming a bunch).

It's my birthday, so I'll be celebrating it with cake and ice cream :-)

I wasn't even aware we had a programmers day, so I've spent my programmers day cleaning up after someone who's getting no jelly and ice cream at this programmers party.

Wrote a notification system for Lua. Nothing exactly challenging but something I plan on posting on github to save other programmers ~30 minutes.

flaie• 14 years ago

I forwarded this to my boss. Waiting for approval.

Taking the rest of the week off, going on holiday to the Netherlands and working on some long-standing items on my programming to do list.

They they programmers actually spend their time: bugfixing.

I'll be at PennApps in a 48 hour hackathon. I encourage everyone else to get out there and fix the world, one segfault at a time.

Aw, usually programmer's day is my birthday, but it's a leap year.

I'm turning 100000 tomorrow.
