A Millionaire Programmer at Microsoft Wrote This Crap:

This is normal. no local MS dev wrote this. It was an outsourced lacky and it passed and was pushed. or done this way to fool reverse engineering or cleaver fingerprinting. But most likely it passed the test and was never needed to be corrected

Just you wait, the bugs in “mission critical” software in a year or two are going to be glorious lol.

yeas, and it was indian. REMIGRATION

I don’t think that’s what’s happening lol? The key events are just logged as part of the exception handler, the off by one bug seems separate and caused by cursor position being out of sync. There’s no reason why the renderer needed to read from buffer

for years I've been unable to run our build system from vscode bc it somehow fucks up pipes or something in the vscode terminal wrapper and the compiler state gets wonky thought it was just ours but then saw it with a very large cmake based dependency too

some h1b izzat jeet wrote that bug

Even in dos $COLUMNS , Unix/Linux tputs cols, stty size

funny how the idea of ​​income-based segregation subtly infects the brain like bad code must write only poor people from the Third World, he-he?

This was genuinely probably written by a junior or someone with a few YoE

GOTTEM

$500k a year and the cursor still ends up at -1. there's hope for the rest of us 🤡

my Tamagotchi died on the first day I forgot to feed it, so I feel personally attacked by this code

Yep, another millionaire sh&t-programmer hired that guy...and all the way to the top.

Some jeet h1b

can you give an example to reproduce this issue/bug without trying to compile any special or specific project?

@davepl1968 should know about this

QDOS, the ancestor of DOS, was an acronym for "Quick and Dirty Operating System". My first job in a big legacy corporation was to repair CI pipelines written in DOS where paths have a short character limit and git would crash on all devs machine when mixed case branches coexisted
