Say this isn't salvageable in a joking tone.

Print out the code, pour lighter fluid on it, and light it.

Bonus points if the entire office burns down.

Tbf this isnt a software engineer

Its one of our phd types who "knows python"

Basic stuff like not importing any of the libraries hes trying to use
Referencing variables that dont exist
Creating a request body to an API that is just a wishlist and has nothing to do with the documented interface

You would think he had gone through some simple exercises before claiming he knows python.

For now I am just a MATLAB cuck

Some people like to program because they just wanna make computers do things.

They don't have to care about coding as its own discipline. It's just a means to an end.

I wouldnt worry about being nice if its an honest attempt to learn. would probably send some examples if I had anything close to what he's trying to do.

And thats a totally valid way to live. You can solve a lot of problems without knowing anything about OOP or unit testing or algorithms etc

Mostly i blame jupyter notebooks. People never get to learn how to debug. That skill is too critical.

Also disclaimer: i am not a SWE. I code to be better at my job, but it isnt my job.
