Is programming cool now?

I was watching King of the Nerds the other day and it had all sorts of nasty shit on it like bronies, japanophiles, pokefags, larpers, but no programmers. They even had contestants that were just engineers, but no programmers. This is clearly a sign that society no longer views programming as nerdy but cool. Rejoice, you can all go out tonight and get laid.

I've always thought programming was cool.

I went to Gensokyo and my knowledge on monad transformers and lenses got me laid.

Programmers who think programming isn't cool write shit code. Prove me wrong.

I don't habeeb it.

Either way: I remember being shunned for being ⁶⁶such a fucking nerd₉₉ and now those same kind of people are wearing huge Woody Allen style glasses and calling themselves 'nerds' while they've got no fucking idea what it's like being a god damn nerd.

Yeah, I'm mad. And you should be too. Take The Big Bang Theory for instance, a show that fucking MOCKS us. "Hahaha, it's funny because it's nerdy." is the internal dialogue of a viewer. And yet a lot of plebs are calling themselves nerds and 'playing' the latest iteration of shit-tier console games. I doubt those 'nurd gurls' actually play those shit games, they probably just use it to stand out among their friends.

tl;dr: People who call themselves 'nerds' are just like 13 year old script kiddies calling themselves 'hacker' because they've studied COMPUTER SCIENCE III, programming is actually considered by the plebs to be the 'creepy' kind of nerdy, hence no one wants to look like a programmer.

Man, I just realized life is full of fucking posers. Fuck. I'm gonna start a blog thread on /lounge/ and sage post every odd day with updates as to my depression and projects.

"Nerdy" stuff may be cool or rather acceptable now, but sure as hell wont get you laid any more than 20 years ago.

Woody allen isn't funny and existentialism is for retarded atheists (pseudo-intellectuals (sartre, camus, etc), filmmakers (film will never be high art you fuckin retards, but i still watch because bergman's female actors are absolutely gorgeous), other retards who make art into a dirty word, etc

oh look the trailer park crack baby is back

programming is going mainstream, but that doesn't mean nerds who are in to programming are going to become popular. popularity / social skills / life energy have little to do with your job.

Not him, but please don't start your "atheist white trash inbred assfucker HAHAHAH LMAOOOOOO LOL" bullshit and take it to /lounge/.

Programming is the new DJing?

>>12
Well, SuperCollider is a thing that exists.

But what if being a nerd is cool now?

>>14
Then you are still a fucking nerd.

>>15
But a cool nerd, all in all.

There is an ulterior motive behind the promotion of programming to the unwashed masses, this I know.

>>17
more insecure code to exploit perhaps?

Already did. Today a typical programmer regularly visits fitness and does a workout each morning.

Even Gabe Newell lost weight!
