    Well, the compiler didn’t complain, so I checked it in.

    I’m too fucking old to remember if I needed those or not, so I thought WTF and just threw him in there.

    That’s how long I’ve been programming, so long that I can’t even remember the syntax anymore. 😋

      Lemmy isn’t the best place to make up stories about your programming pedigree… it’s kind of a thing here.

        Not that I have any way of approving that to you, but I’m not, I just couldn’t honestly remember the last time I was typing code into my Apple II+ , since I’ve been coding for over forty years, they all tend to kind of run together after a while. I usually let the compiler set me straight.
