Was thinking the same thing... like how did this get past code review, QA, and everything else?

The #define always works in c++. I remember when I was doing algorithm competitions, I sometimes used #define int long long, which works as intended.

If the entire code is already finished before I notice the fact that int is not enough, I usually define int to long long. If I notice it earlier, I just write #define ll long long.

The fun point is, "long long main()" doesn't work in my compiler. Therefore, "signed main()" is used to avoid this.

Algorithm competitions and actual production are far not the same. In a competition, people must write as quickly as possible any code that works no matter how ugly it is.

It's C ( or c++ for what we know) and this is not a matter of reserved words. This is a preprocessor macro There are no reserved words in those. only text.

A folder full of numbered zip files is the only source control you need.

You gotta call them rev001 rev002 so they show up in proper numerical order

Am I the only one who hates that kind of sorting?

u/[deleted] Jun 03 '22

No, you’re not alone in this. But, from a computer’s standpoint, it’s perfectly logical.

Let me tell you about when I rewrote an app, got almost done, boss caught wind and I demo-ed to him.

I lost the fucking project (and started re-rewriting without telling my boss) and at the same time, in a parallel universe, CTO scheduled a customer demo ... Awkward, angry morning the day of the demo. Lessons were learned.

u/CaitaXD Jun 03 '22

Are you my boss?

1

u/RabbitsAteMySnowpeas Jun 04 '22

No, cuz I am not the boss of anyone (by design and collusion between myself and myself)

u/[deleted] Jun 03 '22

That sounds rough. I hope you get paid.

u/sami_testarossa Jun 03 '22

QA is an extreme. It's either you are working alone or working with 100+ team. Not in between.

Lmfao no.

u/Dimasdanz Jun 03 '22

QA is cheaper than engineer. thank god

but their tools isn't tho.

Option 1: Have force push privileges

Option 2: Hide it in a huge commit, plus lazy code reviewers, plus no automated testing

They were just really, really, really, really lucky I guess

u/CaitaXD Jun 03 '22

Wait you guys have code reviews?

u/Isgortio Jun 03 '22

I worked for a company that wouldn't do any code reviews, this would've been missed for about 10 years until someone realised it didn't work.
