Real programmers use a magnetized needle and a steady hand!
- bcrosby95 1mo agoPeople have been "writing code" like this for decades. That a programmer happens to do it doesn't turn it into writing code, no one would have made that claim 25 years ago, and people who aren't programmers wouldn't make that claim today.

- bcrosby95 1mo agoNever. It would be like laughing at people writing Prolog calling themselves coders.
- asdff 1mo agoOps analogy is like their boss claiming they write code because they told you what to work on and you wrote the code to solve your bosses problem.
