| 13:21 | <@ErikMesoy> | After a week of work on #current_project, Coworker One has pushed a file with about ten lines of code to one of comment, and I'm staring at it to understand what a lot of it does, because he is not above using variable names like "r" and "e_ID". |
| 13:22 | <@ErikMesoy> | Coworker Two, meanwhile, is practically the reverse and has pushed one-line empty method stubs, little more than func(param, param, param), each of which has ten lines of doc comments promising future implementation. :P |
| 13:23 | <@celticminstrel> | XD |
| 13:25 | <@TheWatcher> | Given the choice, I'd honestly rather have coworker 2. |
| 13:25 | <@TheWatcher> | Y'know, as long as the code will match the documentation~ |
| 13:27 | <&[R]> | I use `r` as the return value variable, I'm guessing he's not doing that? |
| 13:28 | <@ErikMesoy> | TheWatcher: Fortunately, it's not a choice, I'm working with them both, I think the best path is to try to wrangle them into cooperating somehow, because they seem able to produce a well-documented and well-working function when combined. :-) |
| 13:30 | <@ErikMesoy> | [R]: He uses 'r' first as an iterator over an object array, and later in the _same function_ reuses 'r' as an accumulator double. |
| 13:31 | <~Vornicus> | D: |
| 13:31 | <@TheWatcher> | I recommend fire. |
| 13:31 | <&[R]> | Variable reuse is D: |
| 13:37 | | * ErikMesoy issues Helpful Corrections on variable naming to Coworker One |
| 13:38 | | * ErikMesoy then turns to Coworker Two's code and sees that getSomeVar() is a stub call to calculateSomeVar(), while calculateSomeVar() is a stub call to getSomeVar(). |
| 13:38 | <@ErikMesoy> | Even accounting for placeholder stubs, this feels wrong. :/ |
| 13:38 | <@celticminstrel> | XD |
| 13:38 | <&[R]> | What do you mean? |
| 13:39 | <&[R]> | Why would you want your function calls to return without stack overflowing? |
| 13:42 | <&[R]> | Hmm, TIL in Linux that'll cause a seg fault |
| 13:43 | <&[R]> | I thought seg faults were NULL defererences only |
| 13:43 | <&[R]> | That'll help out debugging if I actually remember that later |
| 13:43 | <@celticminstrel> | Isn't segfault any invalid memory access? |
| 13:43 | <&[R]> | Right, I just woke up, not thinking 100% yet |
| 13:53 | <@ErikMesoy> | On a related note, :D https://twitter.com/molly_struve/status/1219346099959402498 "Developer accused of unreadable code refuses to comment" |

| 23:53 | <&[R]> | Hmm, UNIX sockets can only have one client connected at a time? |
| 23:54 | <&McMartin> | More or less. There's some magic around what exactly 'listen' does. |
| 23:55 | <&[R]> | Guess I'm setting this thing up as a TCP server |
