The Pleasure of Being Cummed Inside

2013:
- overengineered nonsense like visual studio and java
- hipstr.js, a new "framework" that uses 120% of your CPU to do nothing useful
- "cloud" computing, a return to 1960's remote-access services in lieu of personal computing, for the greater profit of software giants
- fisherprice "apps" the design of which assumes computer users are 3 years old

Today Apple with their "user-friendly" unprogrammable devices are king, enslaving people into believing that a "computer" is a gadget for wasting time on websites and not a means of computing things

If you don't buy new "devices" every year and contribute your share to world pollution, you're not cool. Even though we now have many gigahertz of CPU and many gigabytes of RAM, upgrades are considered proper etiquette.

When software lets you connect with customers when and where they want, that's business with .NET.

When objects fall back to the ground after they are thrown, that's business with gravity.

As they said in the olden days before this website was run over by spammers and racists, DISCUSS.

Typical shitskin 4channer. Go back there. It is z and you can't prove me wrong. Nobody cares about your arbitrary pseudo-intellectual nerd culture understanding of ``optimization''.

>>39
Made up acronym Soldiers of the Queen (historical journal; Victorian Military Society; UK)? retard

I bet you retards don't know about EOP.

Stop trying to fit in so badly, it's embarrassing to watch.

Says the nigger from 4chan.

>>44
This might surprise you, but I invented the ``back to 4chan'' meme everyone here is from 4chan if you go far enough. Telling random posters to go back there doesn't make you look like a part of the cool /prog/ oldfag elite, it makes you look like a fucking moron.

Back in 1986? Our field wasn't flooded by hipster design faggots with their ironic horn-rimmed glasses, skinny jeans and mustaches.

overengineered nonsense like visual studio and java

Management should never make design decisions, neither should a single programmer, or any group of easily-agreeing programmers.

hipstr.js

It's an easy-to-get-into language, like all dynamically typed languages, IT JEST WERKZ. It may not work well, but it won't crash horribly, and that's what newbies (and hipsters) like.

"cloud" computing

Marketing and dumb-users it not a good mix.

fisherprice "apps" the design of which assumes computer users are 3 years old

That's retards hipstr.js peeps tapping into a volatile market, blame the users for buying that shit, not us programmers. If anything, we can't do anything about it. We write, market or use apps. Blame the users.

All this really boils down to is this: Yeah it sucks, but is there anything we programmers can do something about?

We can't make 'a better platform', because it would require app support.

Come to think of it? App stores are really just package repositories. Can't we make/use/distribute-to-end-users our own open-source and cross-platform package repo?

props for source packages

It's optimiSation you fucking shithead kikelord fat burgerfucker. Murricans are the worst abominations

>>48
May you die a long and painful death, shitlord.

>>49
I wish you a painful life, nigger

*Takes a big shit in thread*

SPLOOSH

I blame software for the state of modern programming. How many of those corner-rounding fools even know what a capacitor is? How many would even be interested in knowing the transistor pattern for a simple AND gate? How many would have the brain capacity to count out the clock cycles by hand to make a real time, timing critical program?

>>52
Disgusting. Thank goodness most people do not need to know any of this.

>>53
That's why there are so many code monkeys.

Ruby a shit.

>>52
Agreed

>>54
Code monkeys are the ones who focus on the useless hardware shit and think that code is secondary in importance. Code monkeys spend most of their time making prematurely optimized, obfuscated, unreusable and inextensible code.

>>57

Code monkeys don't even know what a computer looks like inside its case

>>58
You have the wrong definition then. The ones that don't know are program wizards who think in terms of meta-algebras and cofree comonads. One line of code from such a wizard is worth a thousand OPTIMIZED SEPPLES lines from a code monkey.

>>59

Program wizards? Sounds more like program rabbis to me. Meta-algebra is the most jewish I've read this week

>>60
That's because you are incapable of abstract thought and should go back to charging capacitors or welding transistors or whatever it is that code monkeys do. Pure thought is not for you.

>>59
*optimised

>>54
I fucking knew there were stupid meme fuckers on here. Get this 4chan faggot's ip and post it here and make sure to ban this faggot 4chan kiddie.

You do not get to request bans

Hey admin, ban this impersonator nerd >>64

Here is the saurce: http://bbs.progrider.org/prog/read/1404081453/9
Calling someone here an nerd is highly ironic

Also,

a* not an.

Impersonator nerd

Greg Gutfeld's banned phrase of the day: nerd.

It hurts my feelings.

>>67
An nigger

A anus
