# VG151 — Funny Shit

Being a TA is mostly pain, but occasionally you get comedy as a side
effect: newbie questions that make no sense, hilarious program behavior,
creative approaches to a problem, you name it. Every time I see one, I'll
post it here.

All screenshots and conversations are anonymized. If you see yourself in
this blogpost, please don't take it personally. These funny stories are
TAs' primary source of amusement. Please let us have them. Oh, and the
"shit" in this post's title is by no means derogatory.

If you feel extremely uncomfortable with any entry below, please send
email to `<fkfd at fkfd dot me>`.

This is a reenactment of a screenshot they sent me to troubleshoot.

Someone asked if the compiler they need to install was VSCode. One TA
corrected them that VSCode is an IDE. Another TA corrected that TA because
VSCode is technically a text editor, and Visual Studio is an example of an
IDE.
