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

Oh, so you're both communist shits. That explains everything.

Poland had been doing a pretty good job of keeping the Soviets out of Europe for the last 19 years or so. There is no doubt that the Soviets desired to expand into Europe, but the military cost of doing so was high enough that they were unwilling to do so without support, especially considering that in 1939 they had just been through the Great Purge and were in no position to take on the entirety of Europe. The most charitable interpretation of Hitler's invasion of Poland was that he was trying to trick the Soviets into a decisive engagement to drive them out of Europe, however even then it entailed putting the entirety of Western Europe at risk without their permission.
