Below is a funny song about coding which is sung to the tune of “Favorite Things”. It’s been around for ages, although I always thought the original version was a bit too short and unfocused. So, I’ve re-written it, because I’m a dork, and I’m posting it because I have nothing worthwhile to say today.
Pointers to pointers to printf()-like functions,
Unary minus and nested conjunctions,
Integers, booleans, characters, strings,
These are a few of my favorite things!Encapsuled functions with routines embeded.
Parallel process to run multi-threaded.
Routines that lighten the processor load.
This is just some of my favorite code!
/* When the bug bites! When the core dumps!
when the code is bad.
I simply remember my favorite things,
and then I don't feel so mad. */
API reference and good indentation.
Pointers to strings that have null-termination.
Callbacks to functions of referencing strings.
These are a few of my favorite things.malloc() and calloc() and database files.
Error-free coding that always compiles.
Arrays of structures and quick file sort.
These are my favorite things to import!
/* When the link fails! When the code bombs!
When it won't execute.
I simply compile my favorite things
and then I can go Re-boot! */
This is Why We Can’t Have Short Criticism
Here's how this site grew from short essays to novel-length quasi-analytical retrospectives.
Best. Plot Twist. Ever.
Few people remember BioWare's Jade Empire, but it had a unique setting and a really well-executed plot twist.
Silent Hill Turbo HD II
I was trying to make fun of how Silent Hill had lost its way but I ended up making fun of fighting games. Whatever.
Shamus Plays LOTRO
As someone who loves Tolkein lore and despises silly MMO quests, this game left me deeply conflicted.
Silver Sable Sucks
This version of Silver Sable is poorly designed, horribly written, and placed in the game for all the wrong reasons.
Hah! That’s brilliant!
now, if you could write it so it actually compiled… :)
Get it to compile! Wow. If I could do that I’d be a shoe-in at the The International Obfuscated C Code Contest . It’s an incomprehensible program AND a catchy song!
hah. the weird hting is, normally I can’t fit new lyrics to an old song. This one I could. It’s scary.
Ha! I love this.
dude! amazing!
Now all we need is someone to sing this. I immediately thought of JoCo for that.
Fucking. Epic. Dude.
Awesome, I’m bookmarking this.
