- idiotwithastick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+34If only I could understand more than the first one...
- noamsml, on 10/12/2007, -1/+32Old, but good.
- Diggtatorship, on 10/12/2007, -1/+26I think thats the joke :)
- digitalme, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21I've seen it before, but it's always a great laugh.
- avidlinuxuser, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22Outside of the master programmer, it's relatively easy to understand.
- invader, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20my favorite nerd jokes are the ones that make fun of the computer illiterate... hence my favorite part is the end, with the management having their go..
- ToadX, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17wtf... this guy jumps through hoops for no reason to print it out in C++, but doesn't provide an ASM version?
- SirBriggs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14@ohgr
You mean BASIC? - JJP0223, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Have never read. Good and funny.
- invader, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12ummm... you know these are Hello Worlds, right?
the point of it is to be so mind-numbingly easy, anyone can get it on their first try, then take baby steps learning other parts of the language.. - Matt2k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12> Thus, I ( a high school student) feel special for writing my programs with similar logic and process to the "Seasoned Pro" than to the "High School Student" then again
If I paid you to write a "Hello World" program, and you gave me code that looked like the seasoned pro, I would fire you. No joke. - Daniel591992, on 10/12/2007, -7/+19The people who understand this need to get out a little more. :P
- MrPig, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I like the mutli-threaded master programmer one.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Unbearably hilarious? Get out more, submitter.
- jer2eydevil88, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Man oh man... we are such geeks for understanding this much less laughing at it...
- BlackAdderIII, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Yeah, they're only mildly funny even if you *are* a programmer.
- zacmccormick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6haha awesome post.
Implementing hello world as a COM server is the very definition of senseless complexity. I love it. - dziban303, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11He obviously works at microsoft.
- invader, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7i got a kick out of the management ones.. yeah, the programmer ones and hacker ones were alright, but not especially entertaining..
maybe i just prefer brainless comedy.. - invader, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7echo base64_decode('SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ=');
sans the exclamation point.. !'s are for overenthusiastic 'tards. - osbjmg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Is "hilarious" the new "amazing" on digg now? I admit it was kind of funny, but I can't see seriously laughing out loud at this.
Gob from Arrested Development doing the chicken dance and saying "c'mon!" is hilarious. - KevinJ, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6also cout is 10x cooler than printf
- Matt2k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Do you mean to say you just happened to write a Hello World recently before reading that article, or that you actually keep a library of code and that HELLO WORLD is one of them? Either one would be worrisome.
- seventoes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5High school freshman maybe?
- BlackAdderIII, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5No, really, the people who don't need to get in a little more. :-)
- pmccombs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4The irony of the gag is apparently lost on you. High school programmers who fancy themselves as "seasoned experts" are not new. I had the same disease when I was programming UCSD Pascal in my High School days.
While some of us laugh at the poor and artless CEO, who seems to represent the punchline of this little joke, the programmers among us are splitting their sides at the utter code rot that seems to have happened between the newbie stage and the "expert" stage. This sort of mentality -- the one that revels in its ability to wield a 20-ton pile driver to set a tiny brad -- is what we call "sophomoric." We are not surprised to see High School students owning the seasoned expert's code. ;) - thefinger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4@echo off
echo.
echo hello world
echo Digg, bite me
echo.
echo press a key to undo your most recent sex change

@exit - Craz1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4lol, had not seen this before, thanks for the laugh :)
- jasmin888, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Nerds need some fun too
@invader:
What about the nerd overdoing it to impress? - CanceledCzech, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I think the Guru Hacker one is awesome.
- BlackAdderIII, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3No freshman would fail to recognise hello world for what it is. :-P
- bzmeteorite, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Hehe, my eyes started to hurt right after "New professional". ;)
- chapium, on 10/12/2007, -1/+31995 just called, it wants its Internets back...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5you suck
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Master programmer should be shot, oh wait, he probably works for mirco$haft. That's the most badly formatted, unreadable crap which passes for code I've come across.
- dineshbabu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Way to go Chief Executive !
- Uruviel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Shouldn't you be using fputs :p ?
- monsterb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1python helloworld.py
hello world - Djeserkare, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1At a glance it looks like it could be C or C++. I'm leaning towards C because of the ".h's" at the end of the includes: the latest C++ compiler versions i have been using yell at me for doing that because it is "deprecated" style. The reason it looks like gibberish is because it uses the busted, crappy windoze API.
- BlackAdderIII, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1"Do you mean to say you just happened to write a Hello World recently before reading that article, or that you actually keep a library of code and that HELLO WORLD is one of them? Either one would be worrisome."
Oh God, don't - one of my favourite personal-swiss-army-knife libraries (which most programmers have) contains hello world, a text-munger and there's even a bit of binary expression tree code still knocking about in there from the stone age (although it's not a lib that goes in any released work).
No, I don't contribute to emacs, heh. - compu73rg33k, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4I think they're hilarious :)
- Craz1, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4echo base64_decode('SGVsbG8gV29ybGQh');
- AbsoluteMSTR, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1*****
- OrangeTide, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2My code actually looks like Experienced Hacker in real life, I'm kind of afraid because I think that example is supposed to be a joke:
#include <stdio.h>
#define S "Hello, Worldn"
main(){exit(printf(S) == strlen(S) ? 0 : 1);}
except mine looks more like:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main() { return puts("Hello World")==EOF?EXIT_FAILURE:0; } - gd007, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1really funny!
- jackmyang, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Check out this website if you want to see the 'beyond master programmer' level: http://www.ioccc.org/main.html
- uberhanz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0There are some fundamental differences between those two pieces of code :)
- wkdown, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1What language is the MASTER PROGRAMMER one? Looks like a mix of C and Java to me...
- juggernautco, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1hilarious
