The image on "Blame the Other Guy" should be a blue falcon instead of a chameleon.

I was always partial to the ones on http://bofhcam.org/co-larters/ - They're available as T-shirts on Zazzle, too. [Disclaimer, I made them]

This is kind of how I learned how to adjust web files in C#, ASP.NET and CSS. I somewhat taught myself SQL this way, too.

Real talk, googling the error message is the most powerful technique you can learn for debugging.

Are these real? More importantly, if they are real then are they actually useful?

O Reilly makes a lot of good books for technical fields. These are just jokes based on their covers.

@OP I saw one for software engineers that was like "Software Engineering Basics: All of your coworkers are gay furries", do you have that?
mrbenL
Close. Every time som3one checks in SQL code that divides by 0, my PM sends out a picture of Batman and Robin kissing.

Fuck arbitrary deadlines, how about we make sure the code works the right way instead of having to take short cuts to meet the "deadline".

The company I work for had TODO followed by an empty link on one of our sites for 2 full years.

I would pay good money to get physical copies of these books.

sure and they should contain blank pages!

#8 looks like they cut a few pixels from it as well.

i had dozens of these books, became a full microsoft MCSE, sent out 300 resumes and got one interview.Stayed with my real job instead, put2/
CotterPyke
in 30 years and retired, let my MCSE expire in 2004. In that time all the jobs i trained for dissappeared or were outsourced.
atrillionaliens
If they made a book on the best ways to google error messages I would buy that shit.

Recently I saw a co-worker carrying a book entitled " Beautiful JavaScript". I can only assume it contained nothing but 300 blank pages.

Can confirm, deleting code is the most satisfying part.

Agreed. Deleting shit, legacy code which has been successfully refactored is very satisfying.

Just an FYI, I cannot recommend, more strongly, to get a CCIE. They are awesome.

In our company we are told not to write documentation because it should be split into simple understandable functions. It's very weird.
Z0op
Its better to write good readable code rather than spending time to explain it. That said, some things simply NEED explaining >
Z0op
< or at least a description (and that seriously only takes a small moment to write)

I find this especially true for business logic which rarely makes sense from a code perspective.

You got your +1 at "Essential Copying and Pasting from Stack Overflow"
mrbenL
So true and funny

Stack Overflow the real MVP

The trick, of course, lies in copying from the answer instead of the question.
kookyabird
I had a programmer who would do this without knowing how the code worked, or if it even was what was needed. He didn't last long.
WhoNeedsToKnow
This!
fritogotlayed
Yea, sadly that's more common than it should be :-(. It's amazing how you can spot that code almost instantly with the poor formatting.

There’s another sort? We’ve been hiring the wrong people...

Real talk, if you know structure and flow you pretty much have it. Most of my time coding is looking to see if a library does the work!
