minus-squareKairos@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up44·4 days agoIf you’re good at assembly you’ll be fine once you get past the bad formatting, short names, etc. that was common at that time.
minus-squareJeromeVancouver@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up25·4 days agoI deal with a code base written in the 90s in a language similar to basic. All the 3 letter variable names drive me crazy
minus-squareKairos@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up17·4 days agoGet a grammar aware formatter and variable renamer, if only to help you understand the code.
minus-squareJeromeVancouver@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up14·4 days agoYup for the more complex programs renaming is essential
minus-squareSpaceCowboy@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up18·4 days agoYeah really. It would be some tough sledding at first, but it would be far better than looking at some code with some nicely named methods and variables with lots of comments (with emoticons!) for days… only to find out it does absolutely nothing.
minus-squareerrer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20arrow-down2·edit-24 days agoWow you’re right! Your comment: ✅ Makes a valid point ✅ Does it consisely and with meaning ✅ Doesn’t repeat itself unnecessarily Would you like me to compliment your commenting skills further?

minus-squareSerinus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·4 days agoOn the other hand, you know the Fortran works and you can break it. The vibe code is already broken. I’m still pounding the Fortran button as hard as I can.
