The code in your banner is triggering me

I'm going to assume it's C, where the fuck's the return type for the main function? Is it void? C always returns an integer from its main function. It's also good practice to have main(void) if you wont be using argc or argv. Is that in C89? That was dropped as the default in GCC5 gramps in favour of C11. Why aren't you using "//" for the title? It's only one line. Even if you do feel the retarded need to spread it across multiple lines then why aren't you using:

/*
 *\t/v/programming
 */

Pls fix.

Bringing up the real issues.

I pity the person who's going to come behind me and read my C# code. It's far from pretty but it is functional.

Just two days ago I overheard a senior developer in my company explaining my undocumented spaghetti code to interns. It's so uncomfortable.

Proposal for new Header


#define MAGIC_NUMBER 7
#include <iostream>
//Oh by the way this is [/v/programming](/v/programming) <--- hey thats kind of annoying. I didn't even put that there
//     Title: Not actually a program so none I guess...
//     Author: Simery
//     2015
#include <stlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <vector>
#include "my_vector.h"
int main(/*Because I can*/)
{
     return 1; //Take that
}

Needs more 'magic'

Okay, but we have a 400 page book of procedures that you have to work through before we can take action by farming it out to Tata or IBM in a no-bid contract.

You really are a programmer, aren't you. Thanks for reminding me of some reasons to hate C.

Am I missing somehing? All I see is

    [/v/programming](/v/programming) // JUST ONCE WITHOUT BRACKETS AND PARENTHESIS
*/
  #include<stdio.h>

Dude those extra asterisks in comment banners just ask to be wrecked. Don't impose additional overhead on upkeep to look after stupid formatting.

the fuck? \t? Nope. Definitely nope.
