what you mean the people who use global for absolutely everything even when it doesnāt make sense?

yes. They have functions with no args and the functions somehow pull data from somewhere

I can work with that.
where has din got off too btw?
they are still on the dead discord
yes this is the worse thing imaginable, at university I had to debug other peopleās code who done this and it was a nightmare tracing the programs flows

its not offically dead yet. It just fell out. Probably 6-ish months
its all fun and games until something massively fucks you and to need to fix it

does not help that when they ask for my help the just take a screen shot of the section of code that erroring and nothing else. Not even the rest of the function

Ah i gotcha, I never really liked using Discord (outside of voice), iām more of an IRCfag, always have been.
The temporal nature of IRC is just so appealing in comparison.
@Michael Iāve been in that situation one too many times

yes it is this very specific part that is wrong ignoring the fact that everything else is important its worse when the error isnāt in the program but the logic is wrong and you need to trace everything up until that point.
I swear i spent more time debugging other peoples code than my own

Sounds about right, most of the work iāve done (professionally) has literally been just fixing other peopleās garbage mistakes
though i was getting paid well so i canāt really complain

Yes that is a big part of it, doesnāt help when you try and teach them why there program donāt work and they are just happy you fixed it and forget about for the next time.
I wish I was getting paid for the amount of stuff I had to debug
Thatās kinda where i am right now, iām doing college full time in hopes of wrapping up (although iāll be working all summer).
And with senior project right around the corner Iāve been met with a lot of people who donāt know how to write codeā¦ I fear iāll have to carry in the end, and put out their fires, so yeahā¦ itās gonna be fun
