Title: i hate foo bar

I hate it when someone uses the meaningless foo bar in a programming example. It doesn't mean anything, it makes your example less usefull.

The point is to not get caught up in meaningless detail.  If you don't get a foo bar example it probably means you're missing something more fundamental with the example already assumes you to know.

it's not that I don't get it, it's that it's harder to get. Real life examples are easier to get.

FUBAR?

That's what I thought he meant to, I'm supposing it's some programming related lingo instead though.

FM- fubar is military speak for fucked up beyond all recognition

O I knew that, I just thought Shah had done some programming before so I assumed he had seen foobar before, hence why I didn't get the question.
