The Virgin Programmer vs The Chad Coder

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

Xarn's response to questions about his ``war'' comment:

I don't know. Germany only had part of it get better for a few decades after WW2, and without a power like the Soviet Union to push things in the right direction it's not likely that will happen this time.
The most realistic thing to hope for is probably a Paris Commune type of scenario/series of scenarios, somewhere in the Mountain States or PNW, away from anywhere too economically or strategically important so it's not an immediate priority for the weakened military command to want to reclaim. The longer it manages to stay independent, the less likely it is to be re-annexed, especially if there are a bunch of them. I'd consider throwing in with that, even if it'll still almost certainly end in disaster.

I don't think it's likely to happen, though. Things only ever get worse now, not better.
