/prog/rider's secret society

Name: Anonymous 2014-01-27 19:08

We should create a club/lodge for programmers. If stonemasons created one many years ago just because they knew how to carve stupid stones and build some basic structures, why we still don't have one?
This is what we need:
A symbol.
A secret handshake.
A set of rules.
An unknown leader.
An unknown sub-leader.
A library with exceptional computer books, a printed version of world4ch's /prog/ (aka The Old Testament), ancient computers, and other relics.
A list of heretic languages carved in stone.

Giving away software is itself a political act, and besides that it's a blunt instrument. We can do more by requiring that (at least corporate) customers contribute to our cause by paying for our work. I don't feel that this is political, but if you do, I would rather drop or limit the apolitical requirement than lose the ability to charge companies, for whom I have no particular regard, for the fruits of our labor.

This is too extreme.
I'll concede that. Given the opinions expressed, I hereby renounce it.

My dream is to create a world where all basic needs - food, shelter, and so on - are met by automated systems. I see that as complementing your goal, in that each could lead more quickly to the other.

Is there one concrete thing you could think of to make it happen?
