Showers help you come up with ideas? Guess I’ll start taking showers from now on, seemed pointless before.
Programmer moment.
What is this, a callout post?
I’m not a programmer but a sysadmin, and being able to work from home has multiple benefits. When I get stuck on something, I like to jump in a shower just to decompress and honestly it sometimes help to gain a different perspective.
Otherwise I like to just get up for a couple of minutes to make a coffee, or take the dog for a walk for maybe 10 minutes around the block and breathe some fresh air.
i do the same. If I get stuck on something best thing to do is get away. Shower, walk, food shopping, etc… just get away from the problem and destress so you can tackle it with a fresh perspective
Fuck, you can smell me all the way from there?
The miniatures shop called and told us to let you know.
As if I ever leave my house.
lmao
This feels extremely targeted…
This is why I bring my laptop into the shower
I save so much water since I started working from home.
Not only at programming
Damn, I should start showing again
Oof
I feel personally attacked. Just for that I’m not showering for 3 more weeks.
That’s nice and all, but if you submit your array reversing code to me for peer review, I’m going to ask our boss for a private meeting, where I will ask him to fire you. And if you were just hired a week ago… you’d still be on probation and very easy to fire, we’ll just call up one of the other job applicants for your position and see if they’re interested.
Don’t waste my time by asking me to review unnecessarily complex code. Also we have enough bugs already and you seem to be going out of your way to introduce even more.
For the record - the right way to reverse an array in PHP is like this:
array_reverse($array). And if that’s too slow… just don’t reverse it at all. Use--instead of++in your for loop.(PS: Ugh. Lemmy sucks for posting code… didn’t like some of the symbols and ate my whole comment. Had to write it twice. Sorry the first one was better)
That’s not the point of the article though. Reversing an array is simply an exemple of a very simple CS puzzle. Of course it’s common enough to have a builtin function. No, this won’t be written in a code base, or asked for a code review. That’s not the point.
My point is I don’t like complex solutions to simple problems.
It’s an algorithm question. If somebody gave me your solution in an interview I would ask them to solve the problem without a dependency. These questions are about demonstrating your ability to code whilst understanding space & time complexity.
