The programmer's lament:
I really hate this damn machine -
I wish that they would sell it.
It doesnt't do the thing I want,
but only what I tell it!

All languages have their stupid parts, this is in my opinion one of the major ones of the languages deriving from C.

Unfortunately that happens, and aging doesn't help.
Interestingly enough, in spite of 0x01AA remark, g++ doesn't complain about
class Foo
{
int F;
public:
Foo(int f){F = F;}
But it does complain about (which is, by the way, the construct every sensible C++ developer would have chosen)
class Foo
{
int F;
public:
Foo(int f):F(F){}
spitting out a sane
warning: ‘Foo::F’ is initialized with itself

I don't even know what language this is, but I will presume Java. 
You have Value3 being assigned to the value of ... Value3, so nothing happens there. Evidently, it is initialized to the value of 0. Is it a default int when there is no declaration type?

C#, and exactly.
Stared and stared and stared and debugged and stared and had another coffee then... 
C# will warn you if you do "=" instead of "==" but I was surprised it didn't warn about X = X.

I saw it fairly quickly, there again this sort of case is very easy to miss when you are the one who wrote it.
It's the reason why rubber ducks or cardboard programmers are so important.

Because it's emulating the English language:
I am I
You are you
He is he... or maybe she... or he could be it! Warning, Will Robinson!
In English, this would be picked up earlier -- at the editor level, not compiler.

You are getting setter and setter at these.

Oh, it'll fetch data alright, and never let go of it.
You also can't train it to stop from sniffing everybody's butts all the time.

If we're going to pit Google against Bing...then honestly I'm not worried about Bing.
Even though I'm using MS online services a lot more than Google's, Bing clearly still remains rather clueless as to who am I. Google, OTOH, despite me making proactive efforts not to ever log into anything of theirs, has a much more accurate profile. How they do it, I'm not sure, but to me it reeks of underhanded tactics they'd rather not have anyone know about.

That comment spaniels many topics - and might give one paws to contemplate. Well, lad, keep a sniff upper lip and try again, tomorrow.
