A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Reddit would likely put a wall up to prevent non-developers from getting keys. I deal with enterprise applications that do that to prevent just that sort of thing. Basically you require developer registeration, and refuse any applicant that doesn't show they are really a developer.

I just asked Bing to write some VBA code that adds two numbers together. Here’s the code.

`Sub AddTwoNumbers() Dim x As Integer Dim y As Integer Dim z As Integer

x = 1
y = 1
z = x + y

MsgBox "The result is " & z

End Sub `

I’m a VBA developer now. I’m entitled to get my own API, right?

Oh, but that’s not all, there’s also a Whitespace version of my program.

`Here is a possible whitespace code that adds two numbers together 1+1:

  		 	 	 	 	 	 # push 1
  		 	 	 	 	 	 # push 1
  		 	 	 	 # add
  		 	 	 # print as number
  		 	 	 	 	 # exit
``` `

Before you ask, Wthisepace is an actual programming languga, alot like Brainfuck.
