What does it say about a person like me who reads all these damn memes even though I don't know jack shit about programming?

When I saw this reply in my inbox I honestly had no idea which of my posts it was going to be related to because it could probably apply to most of them.

I'm like that because:

  • I need a hobby
  • weird history with programming, but never actually liked any programming language enough to have a real project.
  • now I found a niche language* that I like but so far it's just not where I want get started (one example, still no bindings for Godot 4)
  • Ray almost tricked me into making a framework for a framework but I saw right through that
  • personal issues

Anyone who says Matlab is their favorite programming language is very misguided

"You are an engineer and a nerd"

We call them "enginerds", thank you very much.

My relationship with JavaScript is more like an abusive relationship that I can't escape from because it pays all the bills.

[–] theherk 25 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It’s worth going hungry in the dark. Lawyer up and hit the gym. JS doesn’t deserve you.

[–] MajorHavoc 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

And a Python developer is born!

Source: I moved on from an abusive relationship with JavaScript to a healthy not-at-all-controlling equal partner relationship with Python. And four spaces makes perfect sense, once I really considered Python's point of view...

You don’t have to go from crazy to slightly less crazy. You could try living that lean compiled life.

Not all of these are programming languages btw

[–] [email protected] 61 points 9 months ago (2 children)

You're a nerd for knowing that.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago

You're a nerd for calling them out about it.

[–] fer0n 7 points 9 months ago

I was basically begging for that comment ^^

MATLAB is such a scam. Luckily a growing amount of universities are starting to realise it.

Have you ever been to PowerShell Summit? It's the only nerd conference I've ever attended where only about half the attendees actually realized they are nerds at a nerd conference. I love the vibe. It's got style and pizzazz.

That said, the added entry for PowerShell would still be: "You are a nerd."

I don't have a favorite language, I just hate haskell less than all the other languages I have tried.

[–] platypus_plumba 11 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Do you get a heart attack every time you need to write to a database, effectively causing a side-effect? Only real Haskell developers do.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Dude, I have a heart attack when I lift a finger, causing a side effect to the keyboard.

In fact, I have a heart attack whenever my heart starts beating, causing a side effect in my veins.

Elixir: Look of superiority

[–] Aceticon 8 points 9 months ago

It seems to me some of those should be "you're a masochist and a nerd" when they're somebody's favorite language.

[–] MajorHavoc 7 points 9 months ago

Well shit. It's got me dead to rights on a couple of these.
