Sex drugs and float variables?

[mikeb56]

Repeat the question so we can hear it. Feel free to ask audience members who are talking to shut up so we can hear you. Explain who you are. What's NGDU? What's "Industrial Logic"? What are your credentials? Is this talk about your eLearning products, or are you going to teach me something as a developer?

[ComicPenius]

Google is the new Microsoft.

Sad how empty the room is.

[johnnylifeson]

@SANTARII Look mate, if you want to use drugs that is fine. But please just say no to floats! Use doubles.

:27 doe the guy in the back round look at that chicks ass?

[MrUSFT]

What a jackass. When did using tools to rename methods and variables become the same as programming? Do you have a tool that will invent a faster way to do video compression? or Ray Tracing?

Does google think a "rock star" is someone who carefully follows all the rules?

I find this terrifying. It's like an automated assessment of how well you conform to the zeitgeist.

"we ding you for having too many red tests" fuck me. You guys are the worst kind of garbage.

[alialsaddi]

I can read any code including C language but I can't write single line code .. Why ???

[mikeb56]

@danielkirk1 Curiosity is what motivates learning.
