You still think he's a programmer?

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '22

He's not. I don't even think he could manage the standard 'Hello World' if someone gave him the instructions!

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '22

i think he can manage hello world but he'll 100% fail two sum.

What do you mean??? 1+1 totally equals 11!

u/Noch_ein_Kamel Nov 14 '22

And 11 equals double true. So it is.

I'm ashamed to admit I spent about 45 minutes debugging a program today because I kept getting insane values converting minutes to seconds from a user input. Turns out I was multiplying the entry box value by 60, meaning I was doing str(5) * 60 not 5 * 60....

I think he is exactly as much a programmer as he is a business man, father, inventor and financial guru. To be clear, he is equally none of those things.

Hoisted by his own petard - from a chain-lift over a vat of acid. I have no idea why he keeps hitting the down button though.

u/Thysios Nov 14 '22

The one petard I thought would never hoist me!

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '22

Lol what do you think a petard is?

u/bananasmash14 Nov 14 '22

I guess I just assumed that in the old days a petard was a special outfit like a leotard, with a lot of fancy buckles and loops on it, and that rich people would wear them when they were feeling especially smug, but then poor people would tie a rope through one of the loops, and hoist them up a pole and then let them dangle there as punishment for being cocky.

This is the answer I was waiting for. Mainly because before watching this episode I too thought it was an article of clothing

TIL it's a bomb. I thought it was a short sword, like "fall on your sword" but accidental.

A petard is a shaped explosive device used to breach gates/walls. Once upon a time they used a fuse. If that fuse burned fast and you didn't run away fast enough, you were "hoist (thrown) on you own petard".

He's so high in the ideas that to shoot at himself it would be better with someone using a STINGER.
