i remember sites like these - treasure troves of info back in the 90's

funny list too, especially the manager part! 😀

Those middle programming sections are no joke. 10% of the code is doing the actual stuff, the other 90% is error handling.

Though, am I the only programmer that has never written a Hello World program?

The last entry should just be an AI.

Actually it's the CEO part that cracks me up!

Nice, thanks for sharing 😀

What's wrong with format

?
All the others look like a way to justify 100K a year salary.

It's too direct, too simple. Too reasonable. 😉

Not much unlike a basic "Hello World" written in Pascal or K&R C.

Once you're into programming for a while, the primal instinct of a programmer takes control of you.

You feel the urge make unnecessary declarations, to include libraries, to structure your code in waves (use TAB to tidy the source).
At some point, you'll even add compiler flags that are activated by default.

Yeah, it's like full moon, IF the proggrammer inside you awakens, THEN there's no CHOICE you have left.
No hiding place to GOTO. You need to get through the whole thing UNTIL the END.
ELSE you go insane. RUN!

Good night, everyone. 🐺🌕

I think I got this out of a magazine. Write directly to CGA video memory:

1#include <conio.h>
2
3void main( void )
4{
5	int far *vid = 0xb8000000;
6	char *s = "Hello, world!";
7
8	while( *s )
9		*vid++ = *s++ | ( LIGHTGRAY ) << 8 | BLACK << 12;
10}
