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?

[–] GlitterInfection@lemmy.world 119 points 10 months ago (2 children)

You're a geek.

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 69 points 10 months ago

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

Second only to the unsung hero that didn't make it to the image, CSS

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

I mean, compared to LabView...

"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@lemmy.world 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 14 points 10 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

[–] racketlauncher831@lemmy.ml 62 points 10 months ago (2 children)

You're a nerd for knowing that.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 15 points 10 months ago

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

What You're acc to your fav language

Parse error in /usr/lib/dict/en_all.h

[–] Muffi@programming.dev 21 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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

What about PowerShell?

[–] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

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@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 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.

[–] baseless_discourse@mander.xyz 15 points 10 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.

[–] platypus_plumba@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Damn, this guy Haskells.

PHP: You're not a nerd. But you are at least trying.

[–] First@programming.dev 10 points 10 months ago

PHP: You were a nerd, now you're just outdated (and/or a WordPress developer).

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.world 8 points 10 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@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

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

[–] PoolloverNathan@programming.dev 7 points 10 months ago (4 children)

I don't see Haskell on there!

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Look, I was forced to learn R (very badly) for my PhD (which I didn’t complete). So technically I’m not a nerd (it’s sadder than that). Yay!!
