    It uses XML-like syntax:

    <fun>
      <name>sum</name>
      <in>
        <int>foo</int>
        <int>bar=0</int>
      </in>
      <out><int>foo+bar</int></out>
    </fun>

      Make sure to make ample use of mixed content elements.

      <statement><var>bar</var> = <int>0</int></statement>

      I like it, this is clearly very enterprisey and solution focused, but I would like to suggest a couple of amendments if I may?

      • Namespaces We should make full use of namespaces. Make the structural tags be in a language specific namespace (to be referenced in every function spec, obviously) but change the in an out params to use the parameter name as the tag, namespaced to the function they’re for, with a type attribute.

      • In memory message queues Have all function invocations be marshaled as xml documents posted to an in memory message queue. Said documents should use a schema that validates the structure and a function specific schema to validate the types of arguments being passed. Namespace everything.

      I reckon we could power a medium sided country if we could generate energy from the programmers despair.

      I think white space should be used to represent basic functions too. For example 3 spaces can be used to sum two values while 4 spaces can be used to subtract.

    Make a UX or Project management tool with “Java” in the name so newbie recruiters look for people in the wrong department.

    They already do this, but this would make them do it even more.

    Confusion like this got me my current job. They were looking for somebody with experience in “Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager”, and I look that up and I’m like “Oh, that’s SCCM, I do that”. Go through the interview process they keep asking me if I know Endpoint Configuration Manager and I’m like “yeah, for sure”. I get the job. Day one, the other systems engineer is like “here is the link to our Endpoint Manager Tenant”, and I’m like “oh… Shit I have never ever used this”

    Well… Ends up Endpoint Configuration Manager and Endpoint Manager are two different things. Fortunately for me they are pretty similar in function and rely on knowledge of Windows and Powershell, which I know.

    So my first 2 weeks of work was taking a shitload of courses in Endpoint Manager and watching a lot of videos and learning it inside and out.

    2 years later and I’m an Endpoint Manager/Intune pro.

      90% of IT and software jobs are “I have common sense, know how to look up information, and my boss is intimidated by my work so they don’t question it.”

      I like this but to make the code more readable the Greek question mark should also be placed upsidedown at the start of every line that needs to not be printed.

          I agree. If there is no Greek question mark at all it should be code that is printed to console. If there is an upside down at the start and upside right at the end it is just normal code. If upside right at the end only, it is a comment. Only upside down at the start it will be treated as debug specific code and will not be run in production compilations.
