Mental bandwidth occupying distractions

A lot of fashionable languages and technologies end up being mental bandwidth occupying distractions that just end up wasting years of our best, most creative time. Don't get stuck in the (possibly kike) trap that kills all your energy and time.

Lisp macros promise you the power of a god. Linux promises to turn your machine into a perfect programmer's computer. Both promises are and have always been lies. Don't get sucked in.

Just because your OS is open source doesn't mean it isn't getting assraped by kikes:

Also, Lisp is infested with kikes:

>>16
I believe >>10,15 are referring to >>9. >>8's assessment that Java and Windows and Python are terrible is quite correct, along with the characterization as "not hard to use" (at least before one runs into the language's limitations). I doubt >>8 is a Lisper since Lisp is even easier to use than the aforementioned languages. I'd expect >>8 main language to be J or assembly.

As for >>6, the poster is merely pointing out the fairly well-known correlation between people who self-identify as "coders" and people who know just barely enough programming to accomplish the simple task they are assigned (and have no interest in learning more). You'll encounter a similar condescension in physicists with respect to engineers (and mathematicians wrt physicists) in many universities, and to be honest, yearning for a better standard isn't that bad of a thing. This yearning is what kept old /prog/ different and, well, better than other programming communities, and it's what captivated me for all these years (well, that and the anus posts). If you want a community where Java and Lisp (or Windows and Debian) are considered on an equal footing since "they are just tools", then /prog/ is not for you. I'm sorry if that offends you, for that was not my intent.

Over the years I've come to see /prog/'s elitism as a feature, not a bug. Someday, as you are tired of being surrounded by anti-intellectual idiots, so shall you.
