For the latest scheme to make money and fuck bitches, we're going to make a programmer reality TV show. The problem, of course, is that programming is overwhelmingly boring to do most of the time, and mind-numbingly boring to watch. The viewers of reality TV are complete retards, but that is our advantage. They are mindless consumers of media and commercials and will buy all the product placement we have on the air. The secret to this is that we demean the participating programmers to introduce catharsis into the anti-intellectual viewers who want to see their superiors suffer. But that's not the only demographic we will be exploiting! We will also pit different factions in the programming world against each other to draw in the fervant ideologues on all sides to root for their teams. With such a broad range of groups with their eyes all on our program, advertisers will pour in. Later on, we can even introduce audience participation and have the call a premium number to cast votes, raking in even more money for us!
Each team has five members.
The Teams:
The Lisperati Cabel
The Brogrammer Fraternity
The ENTERPRISE Conglomerate
The Freedom Foundation
The Stackoverflow Brigade
The Social Company
The Feminist Coven
Each week, the groups are issued a challenge to be done under strenuous conditions. After the time is up, the projects are judged by a group of sexy people who rank them according to various metrics (don't worry, this is rigged, us producers actually pick the winners based on popularity). For the first week, the two team that came last will have their members redistributed throughout the other teams. After the first week, the losing team is disqualified for the rest of the show. Once there is a single team left, the members must compete against each other. The winner is named World's Best Programmer and wins a sum of money to start a start-up with.
Sample Challenges:
Write a Tetris clone on a computer that crashes every twenty minutes.
Implement LZMA while being yelled at by a drill sergeant.
Write a b-tree library with as many features as they for a probabilistic computer (error rate of 1.0%), while ensuring that the end result of any operation is not expected more than 0.01% of the time.
Write a program to solve the Hypernigger Random Walk question posed on /prog/ a while back, while surrounded by actual niggers.
Please feel free to give feedback so that we can have the best show and we can all get rich!
