The problem of being a programmer

The problem of being a programmer.......is that they tend to flood codeproject with old jokes they have found on the web.
And that's what makes it go round :-D

Mum told me Go to the market and get me a bottle of jam. If they have eggs get six I came back with six bottles of jam and she was like "WTF? Why did you buy six bottles of jam" My responds "They have eggs!"
Grandpa: When i was your age my momma would send me down to the store with $1 and I would come back with 5 bags of potatoes 2 loaves of bread, 3 bottles of milk a box of tea and 6 eggs. But you cant do that these days. Too many elephanting security cameras. :sigh:

No. $jam=1; if(GotEggs) { GetSix(); } Any competent programmer would ask what GetSix should do.
GetSix(&$jam)
{
$jam = 6;
} -

I don't see that definition in the spec, so you should probably have clarified it with the BA/PM/Client (delete as applicable). If you coded it before understanding the spec you'd be an idiot.

If were to expect a decent spec before you are expected to start coding, you'd be an idiot.

Please meet Nagy, Hungarian UKIP sympatico. Unemployed for ages (about 1 year when I remember right). Eats every bacon and drinks every Gin in a 500 miles radius. And there was something with Paris, but I actually forgot what it was. Just don't mention her when he or his missus is around. Furthermore he really really really LOVES wand erection. And Justine Beaver.

You know when Nagy said you'd be asked to pay for part of his bill? The last person who had to do this founded a new branch of mathematics to cope ...

True, but if the spec is incomplete you really shouldn't be making stuff up and hoping for the best. The case above was clearly wrong because he decided to make stuff up when he didn't understand the aim of the spec. However you look at it, formally written spec or not, he needed to clarify first before coding up something useless. Extrapolating to a longer piece of code, you couldn't employ someone like that because they'd go off and code something useless and you'd only find out weeks later.

False dichotomy: Just "making stuff up" isn't the only other option.
