It always leads to bigger things.
Technician
1. A person that fixes stuff you can't.
2. One who does precision guesswork based on unreliable data provided by those of questionable knowledge.

they're making him work graveyard shift to toughen him up - he's studying to be a nurse.
the things they make you do, it's a wonder he doesn't just stick to interpreting. it's not like it's a pay bump.
he just wants to poke and prod at people I think.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Appropos trainee nurses, I still shudder at the memory of one from about 40 years ago who couldn't find a vein on me (for an IV) to save her life. I sincerely hope that she decided to go into another line of work.

My man will be good at it, or he wouldn't do it. He's a polyglot and he interprets right now - one of a handful of people in the world that speaks Mixtec non-natively, but it's a large immigrant population in our area, so he gets a lot of work, and it pays well.
He's an overachiever. He can't stand the thought of doing something he's not good at. A blessing and a curse.
But I think they make you be a CNA for a while to washout people who need to be washed out.

I'm an underachiever, but the rest I can relate to.

I just saw someone wondering why their code to take a screenshot of the client machine wasn't running properly on the asp.net webserver.
he was snapping the desktop using winforms.
i can't. i just can't with this.
this isn't even a programming problem. It's a basic logic problem.

I have though. It's why i have my silver streak.
My first thought was "he must be management that made a wrong turn somewhere"

don't scare me like that. you're almost certainly right though.

I feel your pain.
Every time I see single line if statements without braces I think about rage quitting myself
|
|
|
|

okay, that's fair.
but when i did try to use braces, i made a bug, which you caught. I lost my mojo.
Removed the braces and replaced them with a return and everything worked fine.

good luck trying that technique whilst writing a state machine.
sometimes you still need a goto.

I would like to see you programming a PLC in LAD or a PIC in Assembly without using JMP (a.k.a. goto)

Actual code from one of my projects (there are entire files like this)
public static int GetDistance(this string x,string y){if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(x))return string.IsNullOrEmpty(y)?0:y.Length;else if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(y))return x.Length;int n=x.Length,m=y.Length;int[,]d=new int[n+1,m+1];if(0==m)return n;for(int i=0;i<=n;d[i,0]=i++);for(int j=0;j<=m;d[0,j]=j++);for(int i=1;i<=n;++i)for(int j=1;j<=m;++j)d[i,j]=Math.Min(Math.Min(d[i-1,j]+1,d[i,j-1]+1),d[i-1,j-1]+((y[j-1]==x[i-1])?0:1));return d[n,m];}

Did you just minify C#?
I'd know this to be a joke if you were literally anybody except you, except you're you...

yes. yes i did.
would it have been better or worse if i told you i just write code that way?
It's part of my "let me substitute this source sharing system for Microsoft's lack of static linking in .NET"
if i had a reliable way to distribute these files as binary and link them into other .NET modules i wouldn't use this method, but ILMerge is dodgy last i checked, and last time i tried to make a tool using it it got flagged by my virus scanner.
These files aren't intended to be modified. They are generated from other files, which are merged into one big "code brick" with all source dependencies included so you can just drop it into your project - like a static linked library.
