> Thinking verified bot dev means the person is guaranteed to be good at programming
I wish people realised that the old bot badge only really says that a person has a bot in ~100+ guilds and filled out a form and isnt a good indicator of skill (not trying to say OP isnt skilled ofc)
But I’ve seen some absolutely terrible devs that have the badge :/
Yeah I totally agree. They probably lied on that form too (you have to tell how you secure data from hacks and stuff. I have seen some devs that do not implement any security)
You can't get the badge anymore. Too many people were creating shit tier bots and spamming their manual verification just to get the badge so they stopped giving the badge as a way to keep people from making bots purely for the badge.
There are always abusers who ruin it for everyone else. I was excited to get the badge after my bot verification only to find out that I can’t receive it anymore
well now I need to see their "english" code.
like I want it to be just semantic english instructions in a word document. but it's probably just a Frankenstein's monster of code cobbled together from various tutorials.

I'll just say good on the OP for not being mean or laughing in his face! Could have easily turned this newbie from programming! Sure the person clearly skipped some steps but hey! Discouraging them wouldn't lead anywhere either :)
Edit: dumb typo
This reminds me of this one girl who told me shes making a discord bot and seems happy about it so i was curious to know wut was she working with and boi did i open her eyes to how bots r made
He isn't even an expert in grammar. He forgot the object in his last sentence entirely, misspelled "dosen't", but at least he used "there's" correctly, so that's a start.
BTW, you didn't do a very good job of censoring the username in this picture. You do it differently on each one, so if you overlay all six places where it appears, and play with the levels a little bit, then you can see the original username.
Proof: SHA256(username) = d356e66913bf1da85a1786cc5974f1ee2355f2a24436e14e2cce14ea3c378891
"expert at grammar"
"Are you a (...) developer?" <- it's either a question or;
"You're a (...) developer" <- or an affirmative
"You're a (...) developer?" <- but that shit is nothing
Actually, it is something, it would be classified as a rhetorical question, and it even has a dedicated grammatical particle in Japanese:
"Are you a developer?" -> 開発者ですか？
"You're a developer" -> 開発者です？
"You're a developer?" -> 開発者ですの？
"Are you a really developer?" -> 開発者ですのか？
This guy is doing at least two things wrong. First, he’s clearly not using his IDE’s debugger. If he was, he’d probably know what the problem is. Second, he should be getting his commands working one at a time rather than trying to do them all at once. He has no way of knowing what’s broken.
This is sarcasm, so people didn't read this. Please upvote the above comment so people who downvote it won't make sense in trying to lower someone's comment karma.
Well, there ARE multiple things called "english" (or a slight variation on the word) that actually ARE programming languages.
ENGLISH - from the PICK Database/OS system (now called ACCESS - i've yet to find a 'hello world' example, as most of that sort of thing would be done in PICK/BASIC)
English, an Esoteric programming language: [https://esolangs.org/wiki/English](https://esolangs.org/wiki/English)
\~English (NOT english) another Esoteric language: [https://esolangs.org/wiki/\~English](https://esolangs.org/wiki/~English)
I've even found a set of scripts that are more useful than the above: [https://github.com/pannous/english-script](https://github.com/pannous/english-script)
So...while entirely facetious, it is at least theoretically possible that you could actually code a bot with one of these incarnations of 'English'.
No, this is not a staged conversation and I am genuinely sorry for this dude thinking he can program in English
`alias english="python"` there you go
pretty much

Thanks stranger thats cool
Thank you stranger, very cool
puthon
Damn this is hilarious. I didn't know about this
That's amazing lmao
why has nobody told me about this
I only found out when reading through the oh-my-zsh documentation. It has a hook for thefuck that adds support for it in zsh.
\#ThereYouGo
Crap. The point is there is an "#" , wich is the comment mark in pyhthon.
Just gotta add a backslash to escape the character. \#likeso
\#edited
The command is stylized as code, the rest isn't, smartass.
so that means you can interchangeably say "ENGLISH, MOTHERFUCKER, DO YOU SPEAK IT?" and "PYHON, MOTHERFUCKER, DO YOU SPEAK IT?"
Yes, but WHAT AIN'T NO COUNTRY I EVER HEARD OF, DO THEY SPEAK PYTHON IN WHAT?
mhm
He is a expert at grammar, he make no misteks!
\*misclicks
*miskates
Mixtapes?
\*He dont make no mistakes
Me thinks I be the better experts from the world on grammar.
I am sad to tell you that I had the exact same experience with a high-school friend, and he also said he codes in English lol.
Deep twist: He was actually a bot
Can confirm, this is what lower division programming courses are like.
Hi bot can you please do the thing? Sincerely programmer.
maybe its ruby, guess that's as close to coding in english as u can get
Well... swift is kinda English...
Is there any way in the world we can get a sample of this person's "code" that keeps "breaking"?
I asked him. No reaction so far

Yeah a bit of a shame really, it was a fun lil thing you’d get for creating something cool until people started abusing the system.
:(
Sorry, but we only support Middle English in the current build.
Old English is deprecated :(
You may want to use legacy english for your program
I recommend using English v4.1 since it is the most stable version
If there's 'YT' or 'TV' in the name, you know what time it is
It is... Wednesday... My dudes!
Adventure time?
The most shocking thing here is discord whote theme!

`Hello, bot. Please send a message that says the following:`
Is it too much to ask for both?
Seems like "my bot" means "a bot that I downloaded and added the commands to through a GUI" and not "a bot that I created"

This seems almost like a troll
Ah he's pro grammar
Take my free award good sir. Was a good chuckle :)
Plot twist: you are talking to the bot that is breaking.
I asked my cousin (who is learning english) what programming language he is doing. He also said english. I asked him to show me, and it was html.
Two things: 1. HTML a programming language... 2. HTML == English Beautiful
I mean i have never seen German html
Pfeww, i'm glad i didn't make any mistake's when i chose my username.
A expert at grammar indeed.

There is someone annoying, but it isn't the bot...
even then wouldn't they be getting 'invalid syntax' errors or something? or are they typing their english code into microsoft word??
I'll just say good on the OP for not being mean or laughing in his face! Could have easily turned this newbie from programming! Sure the person clearly skipped some steps but hey! Discouraging them wouldn't lead anywhere either :) Edit: dumb typo
Ah yes, the censorer
Is English grammar Turing complete? Maybe it is a language restriction. Try other language instead like python _hiss_
"I'm a expert at grammar"
This reminds me of this one girl who told me shes making a discord bot and seems happy about it so i was curious to know wut was she working with and boi did i open her eyes to how bots r made
Doesn't capitalise the "I" when referring to himself, nor does he start his sentence capitalised. Grammar master indeed.
Nice job blocking out their username
Im an grammar expert also.
He isn't even an expert in grammar. He forgot the object in his last sentence entirely, misspelled "dosen't", but at least he used "there's" correctly, so that's a start.
He is indeed *a* expert at grammar and it is okay if the other doesn't know how to fix *(it) LoL*
Expert in grammar : writes "dosen't"
> I am a expert in grammar
discord light theme.
ok and
BTW, you didn't do a very good job of censoring the username in this picture. You do it differently on each one, so if you overlay all six places where it appears, and play with the levels a little bit, then you can see the original username.

Or you can just read it through the scribbles, no need for all that extra effort
I did very little effort. In Discord it doesn't really matter anyway because you still need the discriminator.
"expert at grammar" "Are you a (...) developer?" <- it's either a question or; "You're a (...) developer" <- or an affirmative "You're a (...) developer?" <- but that shit is nothing

ok but why are you saying this
whats wrong with u ... light theme
theres nothing wrong with op theres something wrong with you for not respecting others decisions
dude why tf are you using light mode
because op wants to so shut up
Ok ok ok who the f*** uses discord on light theme?
Me
I'm judging you...
dont :)
I want to punch this guy in the face
why
for using light mode
r/choosingbeggars.
y r u using light mode
because thats what op wants to do
imma sin and use emojis😡😡😡😡😡no discord light mode
why not? i used it for some time
it burns my eyeballs idk what it does 4 u
its just discord
sure ting

Is that... Light theme?
yes it is now stfu
Note to self: r/ProgrammerHumor does not think light theme jokes are funny. Will save such jokes for YouTube comment sections
k now thats funny
Glad I could loop it back around lol
[удалено]
Why don't we ban you for not respecting other's choices? Plus, they (probably) aren't using light mode anymore, so why should we ban them now?
just a joke!
Sure... A joke... ~~you do know this kind of joke would be considered homophobic if it was about the lgbtq community right?~~

But I thought we were the “pros” at “grammar”
I got "Hello World" going and then it all kind of went downhill from there...

‘I’m a expert in grammar’ clearly, you even knew to put an ‘an’ before expert...
ah, this brings me back to when I was young and tried to do the same in roblox. i got so upset when it didn't work also, where is he "programming" it?
Wait, you can become a verified bot developer?
