    WTF! You'd think that learning division would be easier than copy+pasting all that.

     

    How can you imply that Noah used copy+paste?  *GGG*

    Who the hell is monitoring these developers?  How do they get away with this?


    No one is monitoring them. They work for people who know less about writing software than they do, often the only developer in a non-software buisness working for a boss who has no idea how software development is done. Trust me, I'm living the "dream". I started my new job a few months ago working for a big company, but it's not a software company. The software I write is used only here. I'm the first coder with any real experience they've ever hired. I've found some pretty nasty code. I think a lot of it comes from college kids and fresh-outs who don't have much experience and no one to guide them.

    Most of the "programmers" in such companies are people who've had some programming at school (likely QBasic) and therefore know more about it than the rest.
    They therefore get given the job by default.
    This is true of most software companies as well...

    So true, so true.
    I've run into many things at my current job that either don't make sense or don't work. All done by people who were in the medical field then "learned computers". They now think programming consists of tweaking the equivilant of config files. Nothing greater than someone who can configure their own xorg.conf (comparatively, I really don't think they could manage that) running around screaming "I'm a programmer!!11one".

    captcha: random, like the people I work with sometimes.

    C# fix

    dayCount = Math.Floor(totalHours / 24).toInt32(); hourCount = totalHours % 24;

    I could do with more Saturdays myself.
    Responding to a years-old thread, woo! I feel compelled to point out that, while I would love more Saturdays, I'd like it less if I were being requested to program in them, that being how I read the opening sentence. I thought this was going to be about being forced to work weekends for no good reason, rather an about a wtf-y datetime implementation.
