What an idiot! - level -400

So my coworker wrote and application full of arrays of structures (yeah structs, not classes).  No clue of what a stack or a heap is.  He even implemented a collection based on CollectionBase, and then he made a string indexer property (yep, ArrayLists only expose indexes).  I said “have you ever heard of a HashTable?”.  By the way, he's been developing for several years.  It's sad, really.

 

 

P.S.  This is an inside joke 'tween me and my coworker.

It's me (the idiot coworker). Most of this post is actually true. I've learned more from Jeff about programming in the past several weeks than I have in 2+ of years of coding on my own. I should be giving him about 30% of my salary. But on account of I have a wife, kid, and a hefty mortgage, I'll hang onto the money for now. Besides, Jeff will be leaving our present employer sometime in the future and going on to make millions creating and selling awesome software that does such things as cure world hunger, eradicate liberalism, and aid in the creation of new forms of energy...and I'll be left behind...writing unimportant (yet efficient) software b/c Jeff introduced me to the wonderful world of hashtables.

Thanks, buddy...and please post back to this space when you eliminate Ted Kennedy. I'll buy you an HEB bowl.
