It amazes me that people don't realize that most kiosks run windows.
Sovcits are true believers in the magic. Anyone smart enough to do as you are suggesting is stealing from the true believers.
This is a pretty ridiculous position to take but if you believe it then I'm glad you write the comments you do.
There is an argument that commenting on the lack of expected code is valuable for this reason, but it certainly isn't true in all situations.
Your mistake was giving them an answer instead of asking how the scale was setup before giving them a number. Psychologically, by answering first your established that the question was valid as presented and it anchored their expectations as the ones you had to live up to. By questioning it you get to anchor your response to a different point.
Sometimes questions like this can be used to see how effective a person will be in certain lead roles. Recognizing, explaining and disambiguating the trap question is a valuable lead skill in some roles. Not all mind you... And maybe not ones most people would want.
But most likely you dodged a bullet.
Self documenting code is infinitely more valuable than comments because then code spreads with it's use, whereas the comments stay behind.
I got roasted at my company when I first joined because my naming conventions are a little extra. That lasted for about 2 months before people started to see the difference in legibility as the code started to change.
One of the things I tell my juniors is, "this isn't the 80s. There isn't an 80 character line limit. The computer doesn't benefit from your short variable names. I should be able to read most lines of code as a single non-compound sentence in English with only minor tweaks and the English sentence should be what is happening in most of those lines of code."
Reddit users who switched to Lemmy, what is the most annoying thing you have seen about Lemmy users?
You do know you need an account on the NSFW instances to see the stuff on them right?
Not very based.
I'm not sure if this is a joke or not, but you literally can do this...
I feel like people need an education about the difference between spirit of the law and letter of the law.
This comment reads like this:
"I posted some truly heinous shit and a mod/admin removed it but I didn't break any written rules therefore my right to force other people to be subjected to my desires was impinged uponππππ."
