Programmer: Expectation vs Reality | The Mediocre Coder

Check out the expectation vs reality in the life of a programmer.

You forgot the error message when he finally compiled it

[AllisonDeereVR]

My screen is red
System errors are blue
Undefined variable
On line 32

[clementboutaric]

Relatable : I remember once I stared at my program for over an hour wondering what was wrong.
I had forgotten a bracket.

[impazie]

Who would win?
Thousands of codes
One curly boi "{"

[nathanielladouceur]

LOL at the end when he anxiously waited for the dealloc to be recognized

[Prisoner]

Finally a true Expectation vs reality, not like those videos that think normal people see programmers as Neo from the matrix

90% Of your work is thinking and planning, 5% is writing your code and the last 5% are freaking out!

1:01 "Okay, I'm not a terrible failure at life. Maybe I still was made for this job."

[TylerG]

nothing like that feeling when it compiles and runs correctly 🙌🏼

[Abel_la_Abel]

I spent two hours looking at my monitor after my while loop wouldn't break when I commanded it to. Turns out I put a semi colon before the brackets. Fml

I've been on <struggle><cry> Day 2 ( NIGHT ) </cry></struggle> for at least a week now.

Trying to find that one mistake is so annoying😂😂 I feel this in a spiritual level😂😂

[pikabamboo]

Literally me😂😂😂😂man the feeling when you figure out one thing...its like stones fall of off your shoulders

[TheMediocreCoder]

Thank you all for your lovely comments. It means a lot. And another video is on its way. So stay tuned. Thank you once again.

Expectation: run >> success
Reality: Unknown error in concatenation float and int incompatible with string in array tuple.

[GlobalWarmingSkeptic]

Could be worse, could be a linker error xD, but 100% accurate. Programmers are not programmers, they are debuggers with a tiny bit of programming on the side.

[DorkusMalorkus]

spot on dude, spot on. This is exactly what it is like. Worse yet, it never stop being exactly like this.

[MrBranh]

Most accurate programming video I've ever seen. Reminds me of my recent issues with TLS and PKI auth issues in Golang recently. Please do more of these

[aniruddhajaiswal]

seriously.. this happens to me as well.😂😂

[Bri-rexe]

I'm actually really glad that I watched this xD
As a young egg who aspires to work in game creation or 3D animation, the thought of programming and/or coding absolutely terrified me. My expectations more or less summed up the first half of your video, albeit with some ridiculously epic music in the background. Although programming isn't necessarily what I'm interested in, I actually feel pretty relieved that I've been proven wrong.
