Rust: you’re an annoying nerd
D: you’re a nonexistent nerd
We can just remove the HTML5 entry all together.
JavaScript: You are jus pretending
if you have a favorite language that isn’t on this, you’re a super nerd.
Believe it or not?
COBOL: You’re a fucking dinosaur
Fortran has a logo now?
It’s just an f in serif

Ah, alcoholic then
Thankfully I suck at that, but holy crap it is prevelent in this industry. The alcohol abuse is cray. Doesn’t help when you travel constantly. I don’t travel much anymore, but the people who spend 90+% of the year in the field, while having a family, are fundamentally broken. Fun to party once in a while, but when they do this shit multiple times a week, I don’t understand.
Couldn’t agree more. Field service is one hell of a drug. Money’s good, variety is fun, the chaos and travel are fun too, and you learn a lot quickly. The latter often because some or all of the mfg. plant you’re visiting needs you to fix your stuff so they can run, and no one is coming to BFE to help you, lol.
But that all wears off, in time, and it starts to take a huge toll like you described. Never met a long term field service engineer with a healthy home life, or with their health in general. I got out because both of mine were crumbling, for real.
Yeah holy shit. When I was starting out and tagged along a senior on a trip he literally hauled a big backpack of spirits with him.
Got out of that industry after a few years when I realized why every senior was drinking. The money was just not worth it for me.
rust: you’re about to get a blahaj and a tiny blue pill.
Happy to see Julia on the list.
Apparently I am a nerd. I accept that.
My dad first learned to Code in Pascal. Where would he fall?
We nagged our highschool around 97-98 until we got a programming course, we wanted c++ but the IT guy thought c++ would just be a fad, so we learned turbopascal.
I still do.
I wish they’d open source Delphi (and most of the libraries). Might actually breathe some life back into it.
where is Dart :(
I don’t think I like any of them. This is just a job to me.
Just saw react in the “language” list and now I’m definitely a nerd.
Can’t confirm, I’m old and a nerd and I love C++
I used to be very opinionated about programming languages but now I just really love all of them.
Sure some might not be the best tool for some jobs but maintaining a language is insane and just such a mind-blowing endevour.
The cool kids use AI to code
