The Virgin Programmer vs The Chad Coder

Name: Anonymous 2017-08-08 9:06

Latest chan meme applied to /prog/

Virgin Programmer:
Has the latest macbook loaded with latest compilers
Codes in modern functional style
Code is visually pleasing, fully indented
All variables and functions are descriptively named
Comments are filled with explanations and relevant information
Produces portable, safe code that is debugged, linted, statically analyzed and theorem proved ad nauseum
Code almost never crashes
Every bug report is answered with patches and profuse apologizing

The Chad Coder:
Codes in direct, brutal imperative style
Thinks recursion is a meme
Doesn't indent anything
All variables are one letter, functions are random verbs with numbers
Code crashes several times per hour
Never changed his computer
Produces code that "works on my machine"
Debugging consists of console messages peppered randomly through code
Comments consist of curses and threats to other programmers and software
When someone posts a bug report, laughs at it, marks it wontfix or claims you're using his software wrong

Degeneracy is a buzzword, inflation in the US and hyperinflation in the WR are two completely distinct beasts, and US debt is basically meaningless (especially when compared to the WR's). Who is going to collect the US's debts?
all that's needed is much worse economics conditions than what is at present
I.e. the most important thing is missing. You also completely skipped over the government where tons of small parties had to form coalitions and compromised with each other until nothing could happen. The USA is effectively a two party state, for fuck's sake. How the is that ``not much different''?

The current US is diseased, but it is nothing like the Weimar Republic. If you want to make doomsayer comparisons, why don't you go for the fall of Rome? At least that makes you look like you read classical texts.

Do you drown every time you drink water? No? But it's just a softer form of drowning!

yeah, it's better to read experts such as Alex Jones, David Icke and that guy on /pol/ who thinks there are pentagram-shaped tunnels under pizzerias in which Hillary eats and rapes (in that order) children

You could have read your and my posts again and realized what I was responding to; it was pretty obvious. However, escape to meta is easier and lets you jump into tangential rants about the NYT, so of course that's the better option.

All actual points amount to ``less intensive, but it's there'', which I addressed in a simple way that required only a minimum of brainpower. But let's leave it at this, you are clearly more keen on epic Twitter burns than actual discussion and I don't feel like pre-chewing every point as if writing for Redditards.
