I believe you referred to brainfuck, just for the record.
> As I get older, I think I hate them all.
There is some deep pessimism in the software world that I feel constructive.
When engineers talk about how much they hate the tools even they don't have to use, I think it shows the care they have toward the profession.
- ericd 15y agoIt's the same reason people in any field put down things - they like to feel superior by putting down the tools that others use, thereby increasing their own relative stature.
- regularfry 15y agoThere's also a "familiarity breeds contempt" angle.
- foolinator 15y agoI hate people who put down people. They're assholes and stupid. Just kidding dude. I was just joking when I said that. I love coding. I'd fuck a node.js program and even let XML lick my balls at the same time.
- Goronmon 15y agoOn the other hand, you can generally complain the longest about the things you know the best.
- foolinator 15y agoBahh.. Don't be so patronizing. I'm a nerd dude. I was joking when I said I hate them all. I'll fuck Java and PHP in a 3some if given the chance. I'm saying as long as I get paid I'll do the job because I'm an hourly coder (pays more, have mouths to feed). I do plenty of "fun" work and open source work.
