Being in IT must suck.
Stuck in a noisy server room most of the day.
Constantly taking calls from idiots with trivial problems.
Being called up in the middle of the night because a server went down.

Being called up in the middle of the night because a server went down on my anus.

Call my anus

Anus my fellated anus

Hobby programmers > anyone who programs for money

>>8
Program my anus

What about people who program for money and as a hobby?

live to code
code to live
hax my anus

>>10
Are you one of those corporate slave coders who don't have logic? Let me spell it out for you:

Hobby programmers > anyone who programs for money

A hobby programmer is someone who programs only as a hobby. Thus, people who program for money and as a hobby are not hobby programmers. Thus, where do they go in the equality? Come on, you can do it. Try to think, I believe in you! Yes! That's right, they go on the right. Like this:

Hobby programmers > people who program for money and as a hobby

That wasn't so hard now, was it? You can learn more about logic from books.

>>12

Thus, people who program for money and as a hobby are not hobby programmers

You are retarded, this quote proves it.
Why are the people who scream about logic always the most stupid?

>>13
You're misquoting, retard.

A hobby programmer is someone who programs only as a hobby. Thus, people who program for money and as a hobby are not hobby programmers.

Do I need to recommend you concrete books for you to get off your ass and learn about logic?

>>12
Oh great, another semantics argument!

>>15
what are you, some sort of anti-semanticist? Oy vey!

>>4

Being in IT must suck.

Nope.

Stuck in a noisy server room most of the day.

It's not that noisy. I've worked in nosier places.

Constantly taking calls from idiots with trivial problems.

Makes you feel smarter.

Being called up in the middle of the night because a server went down.

I get paid more for it.

Only neets program as a hobby

I'm afraid ey is correct. Picture a hobbiest programmer who works on ey's own projects for fun at least 10 hours a day, every day. Now picture a hobbiest programmer who works on ey's own projects for fun at least 6 hours every week end and gets completely inebriated every day during the week, but maybe getting one hour of programming at most in on the week days before disappearing into a void of heroin induced paradise and laying motionless on the couch. A programmer who works for money is no different from the later, but they don't don't have fun.

>>19

ey

Why are you still alive? Your ``I hate gender'' argument is still invalid.

>>19
Why would you think a hobbiest writes more code than a professional who works every day?
Wat

>>21
A professional is not allowed to think freely for eyself. All ey's work belongs to a company. They have sold their intellectual soul to a corporation with an NDA, like one sells their soul to the devil. Their mind is not allowed to operate outside of the company. Their manager will find their code and sue them for reusing their work outside the company, because they wrote a red black tree. They should go to work and work long hours. When they get home, they should watch TV and fall asleep. When they are fired/retire/die, their legacy should not be their own.

>>22
So what should you do instead?
Hobby program by day and sell your body for rent by night?

>>22

Their manager will find their code and sue them for reusing their work outside the company, because they wrote a red black tree. Also check my dubs. They should go to work and work long hours. When they get home, they should watch TV and fall asleep.

Consider your double digits checked.

>>23
Scrub toilets.

>>19
We already have a gender neutral pronoun. It's called the singular they. Use it already or else I'll hax your fucking anus. ``Faggot"

>>26
Actually, >>19-san and >>22-san inconsistently switches between "ey" and "they".

Just use he

Just use my anus

singular they
singular

Aren't you the retard. He should use "he", plain and simple.

They is for one person
They are for many people

>>31
The English language already has a pronoun that stands for one person. And it is "he".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they

Also, check 'em.

>>33
Sure, it's allright. If you're a faggot, I mean, sure, go and use "they" in singular, "he" in plural, "I" instead of "you". Knock yourself off, faggot.

>>34
Singular they has been used for centuries, while nobody has ever used your examples in a non-comical way. We advocate singular they not because it makes sense, but because it is accepted as grammatically correct. People act like this is something that was just made up in the past decade, when it wasn't.

Besides, "they" is much better than "ey" or other made up gender-neutral pronouns.

>>35
Without proofs, you're worse than a faggot.

>>36
Examples made up:

Somebody asked if they could sit down.
A runner took their daily jog.
Nobody in this thread knows what they are talking about.

Shakespeare examples:

Tis meet that some more audience than a mother, since nature makes them partial, should o'erhear the speech.
There's not a man I meet but doth salute me / As if I were their well-acquainted friend
And every one to rest themselves betake.

>>34

"I" instead of "you"

I support this, I'm sure that I support this too, don't I think?

>>37

Tis meet that some more audience than a mother, since nature makes them partial, should o'erhear the speech.

This is plural: he's referring to mothers as a class. "...than a mother, since nature makes mothers partial..."

There's not a man I meet but doth salute me / As if I were their well-acquainted friend

This is plural: he's referring to all the men he meets. This is obvious if you continue reading: "And every one doth call me by my name.
Some tender money to me; some invite me;". Some [men] tender money to him, some [men] invite him. Plural again.

And every one to rest themselves betake.

"Everyone" is obviously plural as it doesn't refer to a particular person but rather to a group.

If that's all the evidence you've got, then I can safely conclude that this "singular they" is an ill-begotten child of the past couple of decades.

>>39
Regardless of the context, all of the antecedents listed are singular. It doesn't matter if they are implied to be plural. The point is that "they" can refer back to a singular antecedent.

If "everyone" is plural, then why does it take a singular verb? "Everyone sings, everyone reads, everyone takes, everyone smokes." Why does it use the adjective "every", which is only used with singular nouns? Since it is treated as a singular, and since it's an indefinite pronoun without a gender, it's logical to use the singular they with it, as well as with similar pronouns, "everybody", "each one", etc.

But no, I have more. Here are some others:

"I, John Shepherd, might conceal any family-matters that I chose, for nobody would think it worth their while to observe me." (Jane Austen, Persuasion)
"Who is in love with her? Who makes you their confidant? (Jane Austen, Emma)
"A person can't help their birth" (William Makepeace Thackeray, Vanity Fair, 1848)
"She kept her head and kicked her shoes off, as everybody ought to do who falls into deep water in their clothes." (C.S. Lewis, Voyage of the Dawn-Treader, 1952)
"I know I like a person when directly I see them!" (Virginia Woolf, The Voyage Out, 1915)
