That’s actually a very good joke.

What the hell is that code even meant to do?

Sell me this pen.

Here WE have our latest advancements in manufacturing pens all combined in this new masterpiece. Made from the highest quality materials we could find this pen is made for those who need equipment capable of withstanding all weather conditions. This pen is not for those who worry about getting their hands dirty, its made for the explorers of our world, those who have a desire to advance humanity and are not afraid to go through hell for it and their mission should not fail because of some bad quality products. For just 10.99€ you too can become part of our global movement to advance humanity beyond its limits.

Writing this felt horrible.

As I already stated, AI is my last resort. If something doesn’t work because it has a logical flaw googeling won’t save me. So of course I debug it first, but if I get an Error I have no clue where it comes from no amount of debugging will fix the problem, because probably the Error occurred because I do not know better. I Am not that good of a coder and I Am still learning a lot on a regular basis. And for people like me AI is in fact quite usefull. It has basically become the replacement to pasting your code and Error into stack overflow (which doesn’t even work for since I always get IP banned when trying to sign up)

You can use AI to generate code, but from my experience its quite literally what you said. However, what I have to admit is, that its quite good at finding mistakes in your code. This is especially useful, when you dont have that much experience and are still learning. Copy paste relevant code and ask why its not working and in quite a lot of cases you get an explanation what is not working and why it isn’t working. I usually try to avoid asking an AI and find an answer on google instead, but this does not guarantee an answer.

at least in its current iteration.

That’s the important part here.

They were undecided at first

Or it comes as a second low with an even higher peak at the end.

Sadly I dont have this Copypasta where someone explains to an Arch purist why his Distros is just Linux.

Just stupid

Its already written in C1

Hmmmmmmm, that sounds like another fun idea. Trying to make storing a single char as inefficient as possible.

I will turn it into a general system for two reasons:

1: Because I know I can rewrite my old code in much better quality

2: Because this is something that I and my work colleagues may need regularly, so we dont have to rewrite it from scratch every time.

While that’s true and I do document my code, I still get the urge to rewrite big parts of it. In the end I will in fact rewrite it, but that’s because I want to turn the original version of the code into a more general system that I can then use for my future work/projects.

Then you never had to look at your old code (that tends to be of way worse quality than what you are currently coding due to improved skills) xD

I do sometimes work with microcontrollers, but so far I have not encountered a condition where these minimal savings could ever be useful.

I know. This whole thing was never meant to be very useful, and more like a proof of concept

did not want to always scroll past that behemoth of a switch case xD

I am constantly on how I can allow Uppercase, without significantly reducing the posiible amounts of chars

Idk, I just had this funny idea, and thought I could do this as a cool and quick proof of example
