I can't believe it took more than 5 posts to figure that out. I could have told everyone that after my 1st week of Latin class....props to m01ety and hot cha
I don't 'codi' is a real latin verb. I don't think there is a latin verb to 'code' ... maybe "encode", but not "code"
OF COURSE IT ISN'T REAL LATIN, IT'S A QUICK AND CHEAP JOKE THAT REFERENCES A HISTORIC QUOTE THAT ABSOLUTELY EVERYBODY SHOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD IMMEDIATELY
Wow. This thread really makes me ashamed. And I'm not even an old dude. Seriously, I've never even taken latin and I can't say I'm some kind of history expert. But, "Veni, vidi, vici."? Never heard of it? What drugs were you doing in elementary school?
You type the first part then the letter at the end so it would be cod in the first box and i in the second. You then get for the translation of codi:
Quote:
coda see cauda.
codex (caudex) -dicis m. [the trunk of a tree]; as a term of abuse , [dolt, blockhead]. Transf., [a book (made up of wooden tablets, covered with wax)]; esp. [an account-book, ledger].
codicarius -a -um [made of tree trunks].
codicilli -orum m. [little trunks , logs]. Transf., [small tablets for memoranda]; hence [a letter, petition, codicil, rescript].
Looking up cauda, we get:
Quote:
cauda (coda) -ae f. [the tail of an animal].
caudex = codex; q.v.
Caudium -i n. [an old city in Samnium , near the pass of the Caudine Forks]. Adj. Caudinus -a -um.
It could be translated: I came, I saw, I made fun of Vista for being so far behind. That would tie in with their posters.
But since it is a developer conference, I guess it could be translated as I coded. Bah, I hate it when people use obscure languages.

I think for a lot of devs it'll be...
Veni. Vidi. Veni.
Oh my god this is brilliant and partially redeems you for being a dick to me.

But what do I know, I'm pre-med

WWDC-Day, like certain holidays, is a time of love and sharing with friends and foes.

I thought the same thing. I looked up the Latin dicitonary and it doesn't suggest code at all:

You did intend this to be a joke right? Latin oh no not THAT obscure language again.
I wouldn't have asked but after the knowledge shown in this thread has given me pause...

This is really really embarrassing.
Have some of you guys even considered thinking first and posting second?
""something. live. code." sheesh.
LOL. Good one guys! Haha!!
