I was listening to a podcast a few years back, I think it was fortran related, and in any case, the guys talking were having fun putting their "old farts complaining about kids and their scateboards" hat on.
At some point the conversation went a bit like this:
- Do you know what else kids these days don't do?
- What?
- They don't declare all their variables at the top.
- What?
- Yep
- They don't?
- Nope
- W ... where do they declare them then?
- Right before they use them.
- No!
- I shit you not.
- Wtf
I remember laughing hard, and realising I'm also becoming an old fart who complains about kids and their scateboards and shudders at the thought of variable declarations sprinkled thoughout code. :p
