What is your profession, /prog/?
I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing most of you are CS undergrads or academics with a bizarre boner for Lisp.

I'm an investment banker from the top-10 with a couple dozen businesses and a septuple-digit monthly income. I program as a hobby, because computers allow me to use magic and summon techno-spirits.

Also, Lisp is shit.

Throw more hardware at it instead. That's the standard at my workplace.

It's latency issues due to locking in the software as it waits on data. Hardware won't help much there.

Ten dead niggers.

Also, I enjoy Scheme. It's what I use for all of my utility/tool work at home. I wish I could get paid to program in Scheme.

Thinking about retiring early to some place like the Philippines or Thailand. Working is terrible for your soul.

Maybe in the video games industry.
It's certainly better than doing nothing productive.

I do enterprise software development to pay the bills. I recently started doing embedded C on the msp430 for fun. I live/work in a market that has a lot of low power embedded work, so it's a mid-term goal to transition to doing that kind of work.

I've been a Rust contributor since the 0.1 release, but the community circlejerk has me sort of disillusioned.

What is and isn't productive is a very subjective concept.

He's probably a disciple of RMS.
First they redefine operating system and freedom, now they redefine subjective and relative

Stallman is merely using the definition of OS that he learned in the 1970's. Also, Stallman defines *user* freedom as ways for the user to control herself and her own computing. A user who chooses proprietary software cannot live in freedom because she chose to let other people control her freedom.

Kinda like how GPL'ers let RMS control their freedom.

This is what progressives actually believe, that the majority (read: white males) of people think women can't use computers.

Yeah man, that's exactly how the GPL works. The GPL means Stallman controls your freedom even after he dies! How amazing is the GPL to do that!

Seems like more programmers just use it without reading it because it's so long.

No, but I trust RMS when he says it keeps my code free.
I don't want anybody selling and making profits off my free code except me.
