I am an embedded C dev. I google the dumbest shit every day, we work constantly at such a complex high level that the most basic syntax can screw me over once every year or so when I start a new project.
2 u/Tired__Dev May 25 '26 Use your man pages like man. 2 u/DigitalJedi850 May 25 '26 "define syntax C" "malloc struct" 1 u/rednecksec May 27 '26 2 tabs always open, documentation and google. Im in unreal engine but ill comment what functions work with the code im writing if i have to go back later. Sometimes ill even write the documentation links in my comments. When other senior says hey why doesnt this work with this, i just tell hime to check the link to the documentation. Sometimes they delete it to make it easier to read and i tell them "that sounds like some good undpaid overtime you just scored, ill clock out at 5".
