This just confirms Twitter is a 1M line BASIC program.

Think of all the GOTOs

Elon goto hell

GOTO considered harmful, except in this case

More like all the On Error Resume Next statements. Which wasn't even the worst thing about Visual Basic! VB also had the On Error Resume statement. On Error Resume Next at least moved on to the next line after an error occurred; On Error Resume just re-executed the error-generating line, I guess on the assumption that something would eventually change there.

There would just be one of those, at the top of the 1 file…

On Error was used within a function, so you would have one (or more ... or less) per function.

Oof indeed! After 40 years, I forgot it even had fns

I started with VB3, which didn't have custom classes. I have no idea how I did anything back then, but at least it was better than TurboBasic.

I did years of gw-basic, then ms quickbasic, j++, java, c#, now rust.

Interesting to meet another person that went through the “GW-BASIC to Rust” journey. Mine was through FreeBasic and C++ in the middle but we ended up in the same neighbourhood.

I did BASIC on the Apple IIe, then TurboBasic, Visual Basic (3, 4, 5 and 6 with some C in there somewhere), VB.Net, C#, Java, Objective-C and finally QT. Now I drive a school bus.

Omg you landed my dream job. Another couple years and I can quit this desk shit and go make kids lives better.

Lol "landed". We are fucking desperate for drivers. So desperate that one of our drivers totaled two cars in one day last year and didn't even get suspended.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah probably similar a lot of places. It is the same here. Always signs up everywhere begging for bus drivers. Crazy

One function per file is definitely what grok would output

Nah it's just if-then-elses all the way down
