***king VB! What f*cking century is this? I have never come across such a CRAPPILY thought out piece of absolute unpresentable ***king SH*T! Type the word FOR into the helpfile and it can’t find any records. WHAT??? FOR IS PART OF THE FRIGGING LANGUAGE WHY CAN’T THE SEARCH ENGINE FIND IT??!?!?! AAARGH!!!!! And do’t get me f*cking well started on the error emsssages! I mean of all the cryptic totally bloody useless scraps of text to present to the user with absoluytely no thought at all as to wether or not it’ll be of the tiniest bit of use!

You can’t even dock the windows properly! AND You can write programs that get stuck in infinite loops and YOU CAN’T STOP THEM! HAVE THEY NOT LEARNED HOW TO WRITE FRIGGING SOFWTWARE?! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!

And rest. Just had even more of a rant in real life in the office, now I’ve calmed down.

Still – utter utter utter crap tho. Infuriatingly bad! And the way that it tries to syntax check a line as soon as you move away from it, regardless of whether or not you’ve finished typing it. YES I KNOW that’s not correct, i’M IN THE MIDDLE OF A F*CKING LINE STOP F*CKING BUGGING ME ABOUT IT AND LET ME TYPE!!! DIE VB DIE!!!Q

VB sucks the big one. Even VB.Net is pretty useless.

So why not use something else? C#?

One of the finest in recent days. Spelling all over the place, random capitals, swearing and, the piece de resistance for me, I have no idea what it was about.

Chapeau, sir, a 10/10 rant!

Could be worse… you could be writing VBA for Access. Or maybe LISP*

That’s why I teach now. What coding I do is in my time, for my desired projects and in my language of choice 🙂

*I could only write in LISP after a stupendous amount of caffeine, and if I stopped for a break it would take me about 30 minutes just to work out what I had last been implementing….

are you upset perchance?

The syntax checking thing gets me every time in Excel. Grrrr.

I am trying to write a simple macro for Excel. It’s taken me two days so far, and I’m a programmer of 15 years experience. The only reason I am persisting is sheer bloody minded determination and the fact I’ve got absolutely nothing else to do.

CFH, you should’ve heard me in real life. I am genuinely very upset about the shitness of it all.

I srtill can’t tell whether he’s ranting about Victoria Bitter or not.

Calm down dear.

Cracking rant. Lots of expletives and gratuitous capitalisation.

if i learn VBA for Access, i could get a 10 grand payrise. is it worth it?

My thoughts exactly!

Would like to have seen some random bunches of letters, indicating the ranter was headbutting their keyboard; gmnsgfgkcfgjkxcxcffmv ,fgfgm,f,mn,fgjklff9irtu989, like that. And perhaps a few more spelling errors. And some random capitals in the middle of words.

In all, very good, but loses points for this, and is just a little too well composed. But a fine effort!

8/10. Quality.

I think you lose half a point for having some formatting in the rant. However best one for a while.
😉

Two words – Control Break

VB – it’s not too bad, but many oz bars lack a variety of beers, imo. I found that I missed good old British pubs.

Man, you must reaaally suck! 😈

Want me to give you a hand?

Why not use C++ and COM, then embed it as a DLL?

VB killed programming for me. Multiple choice development.

Bring back pure C..

C?

VB is indeed a steaming pile of poop!

yeah, Victoria Bitter is pretty carppy.

LOL. True true.

Still, you’re right about the OP: 15 years experience and he can’t write a for loop 🙄

Probably a Cobol programmer or something.

You scare easy RudeBoy, must be a northern thing – sarf of the river we’re made of tougher stuff 😆

aye carumba – not realised what aload of boring shite computer programming is!

That’d be “ay caramba”, but then that’s another language you can’t manage…

Not half as boring as programmers and their jokes….

As in “There are 10 types of people, those who understand binary and those who don’t”

But for sheer programming obstinacy try this:

99 bottles of beer

can manage “w4nker” quite well bud!!

Apparently there are only 10 types of people in the world….etc etc

Ha, w4nker’s got an ‘a’ in it!!! See, can’t even manage English, let alone C…

Not only that, but you did just insult what I spent the last 15 years doing…

As per CFH and RB, excellent rant, didn’t have a clue what it was on about.

Excellent.
