@DeepSpace since I've got a girlfriend and am happy with my relationship, that's irrelevant ;)

@nyjan she also installed the Java Runtime Environement without the compiler, instead of the SDK, and then was wondering why she couldn't compile her "Hello World" program. When I asked her if she googled the error message (which said, that she didn't had a fucking compiler!) she said, yes, but they all where different problem or for Windows, and wouldn't work on her Mac. Oh or the one time she deleted some Java libraries (unit testing in this case) as she didn't thought they where important, as the assignment said, we should write unit tests by our self...

@pascalwacker That's... wow.
Is she even interested in the topic or is she one of those people who study cs just for the sake of studying / because they didn't get approved to any other courses?
I mean I could forgive her such beginner mistakes if she were genuinely trying, but it seems like she has no personal interest in programming at all. -
@pascalwacker
I'd say stop helping her and let nature do its thing, she's never going to be a good programmer.
I know lots of people like that on my course, most of them are in it because "it's a good job that pays well", most left college on the first year and the rest will this year, I just know it -
@nyjan math was to "boring", plus CS will pay good...

@12823ME we ain't allowed to help either, officially, but then again, can't just let friends fail.

What university are good guys in? Programming is a team work...
My university actually encourages helping each other, as long as there is no code given to each other
Cs Student. We currently have a course on algorithms, where we have to implement something in Java, test it with some sample inputs and in the end submit it to an online judge, so far so good. So why a rant? Well there's this one person, who strugles with programing and asks me a lot of questions. Usually I tell her, could you send me your code, so I can have a look at what doesn't work/where you made a typo/what ever. My thoughts: let's just copy it my IDE, take a look at the error message, and that should do it.
Guess how I got the code: As a few photos, taken by her mobile phone (as the code doesn't fit on one screen...)! Just send me the fucking file, or post it to gist.github.com or pastie.org or what ever fucking code sharing tool you want! Make a fucking git repo, I'll even live with SVN or just a .txt file by mail. But for the love of Linus Torvalds, stop sending me crapy pictures of your crappy code! For fucks sake!
