I used to be very opinionated about programming languages but now I just really love all of them.
Sure some might not be the best tool for some jobs but maintaining a language is insane and just such a mind-blowing endevour.
Can’t confirm, I’m old and a nerd and I love C++
My dad first learned to Code in Pascal. Where would he fall?
We nagged our highschool around 97-98 until we got a programming course, we wanted c++ but the IT guy thought c++ would just be a fad, so we learned turbopascal.
I still do.
I wish they’d open source Delphi (and most of the libraries). Might actually breathe some life back into it.
As an engineer this is extremely offensive. MATLAB is for fucking tryhards.
as an R user, what is matlab what is it about
Fortran has a logo now?
It’s just an f in serif
COBOL: You’re a fucking dinosaur
rust: you’re about to get a blahaj and a tiny blue pill.
I am old and a nerd and I don’t see Perl on here.
Wait… is it the tiny camel at the bottom?
Wait… is it the tiny camel at the bottom?
Yes, it appears it is. I thought it was Apache Camel but I was corrected as per the hump count.
Yep. It has no logo of its own, so it sometimes gets identified by the animal on the O’Reilly book
You clearly were not a perl programmer 20 years ago
it was a joke about O’Reilly, which is also the name of this cunt
perl logo is just the infopop ultimate bulletin board logo.
OCaml maybe
OCaml has a camel with two bumps. So, that’s gotta be the Perl dromedary camel…

Ah, alcoholic then
Thankfully I suck at that, but holy crap it is prevelent in this industry. The alcohol abuse is cray. Doesn’t help when you travel constantly. I don’t travel much anymore, but the people who spend 90+% of the year in the field, while having a family, are fundamentally broken. Fun to party once in a while, but when they do this shit multiple times a week, I don’t understand.
Couldn’t agree more. Field service is one hell of a drug. Money’s good, variety is fun, the chaos and travel are fun too, and you learn a lot quickly. The latter often because some or all of the mfg. plant you’re visiting needs you to fix your stuff so they can run, and no one is coming to BFE to help you, lol.
But that all wears off, in time, and it starts to take a huge toll like you described. Never met a long term field service engineer with a healthy home life, or with their health in general. I got out because both of mine were crumbling, for real.
Yeah holy shit. When I was starting out and tagged along a senior on a trip he literally hauled a big backpack of spirits with him.
Got out of that industry after a few years when I realized why every senior was drinking. The money was just not worth it for me.
Right hand to baby Jesus, I thought Kmart was basically no longer in operation, when did it become a programming language for nerds?
I am in fact an engineer and a nerd. Or as many of us like to call it, an enginerd
if you have a favorite language that isn’t on this, you’re a super nerd.
Believe it or not?
We can just remove the HTML5 entry all together.
JavaScript: You are jus pretending
Rust: Nerdy Transfem
Welp, I guess you’re sort of right…
