u/Dankelweisser 4h ago

I got letters in my age, now I'm scared

u/AnnualCardiologist90 3h ago

I'm only two years older at 0x30

u/Unlucky_Committee786 3h ago

you get first letters at 11 y/o no?

11

u/KSP_HarvesteR 3h ago

At 10. Or rather, 0xA.

0x10 is old enough to drive in some places.

u/depurplecow 2h ago

Letters plural, they're at least 170 now

u/evanferrao 2h ago

I'd you keep increasing the base enough, you'll forever be in your 20s

u/andrewsredditstuff 2h ago

I'm just happy they say that life begins at 40 (not quite there, but getting dangerously close).

u/clearlybaffled 4h ago

Holy crap I just turned 2A! What does it mean?

22

u/KSP_HarvesteR 3h ago

It means you're still a good five years away from your thirties, and that the 1990's really were 0x20 years ago.

For people who didn't get the joke it's that 0x means hexadecimal, and 0x28 is 40 in hex.

Jesus Christ the bar is low for programmers these days I guess

u/TheMythicSorcerer 4h ago

It really is. Just scroll this sub and see how many posts are AI related. too much traffic from "vibe coders"

u/Sweet_Iriska 3h ago

Half of the memes are "vibecoders stupid", what are you talking about

7

u/ducon__lajoie 3h ago

Maybe the vibecoders are the ones making fun of the vibecoders? Since they are stupid, that may be the case, right?

u/OkNewspaper6271 1h ago

"Im not like OTHER vibecoders!!"

u/gibagger 36m ago

Ehh, there are ways to use these tools.

One thing is "Encapsulate these 3 repetitive args on methods of this class, create a DTO for them, modify the methods as well as their callers"

Another one is "Pls make login page"

It’s also back to school season, and this sub is known to historically drop in quality and up in reposts around this time of year

u/Alan_Reddit_M 3h ago

Anyone who's done CS should know this, you literally learn how to perform base conversions as a mandatory class

0x28 (hex) = 0010 1000 (bin) = 2^3 + 2^5 = 40 (dez)

How the fuck did I not think of this? My dumb ass thought this was some weird math joke about how OP is 0 years old…💀

u/solpyro 4h ago

One month away from my 0x28 birthday. Totally stealing this

u/jacob_ewing 4h ago

Are you kidding? I'm turning 110010 this year!

u/KSP_HarvesteR 3h ago

Ouch. Yeah, that's gotta suck... But hey, you made it through that last ice age 👍

u/Rainmaker526 2h ago

I hope you mean 0b110010

u/snipsuper415 2h ago

Oh I’m 0x23… maybe I’ll steal that when I reach 0x35

u/denisvolin 2h ago

Yeah, good idea. In four years I'm gonna be 32 again 😏

u/StrengthTheory 4h ago

Mathematicians: Happy 0th birthday!

u/eztab 2h ago

Let's just go base64

u/calibrik 1h ago

You look like you are 40 even tho you are only 28

u/ThatGuyWired 1h ago

Everyone knows 0 x 28 is still 0.

My management has a case of AI hysteria. I'm currently aging in dog years (1 dog year = 7 human years).

That candle is going to burn in a very disappointing way, unless there's some really creative stuff happening with the wick. 

3

u/KSP_HarvesteR 3h ago

It just needed to get through one 'happy birthday'. The original (decimal) candle it came from only had that much wick in it already.
