Why put those two pictures together?

This sounds like either a stupid question () or like you're baiting us into giving you a nuanced debate to flesh out a paper you're supposed to write for a high school paper.

?

I don't get it

yea but programmers haven't

No, I'm sick of seeing JavaScript applied in every single fucking thing.

Programming used to require some serious forethought and memory optimization because you had almost no resources and RAM was so expensive you couldn't just expect your users to BUY MORE RAM!!!

Now, it's normal for a program to eat half a gig of ram, be packaged with hundreds of mb of libraries and boilerplate, and nobody will bat an eye when the code itself has dozens of dependencies to libraries just to borrow one or two functions because programmers today have been taught never to implement anything themselves because it's "REALLY HARD!!".

If you don't believe me, just look at the leftpad node.js fiasco.
haneycodes.net/npm-left-pad-have-we-forgotten-how-to-program/

apparently thousands of people had a hard dependency on an 11-line function that they could have easily written themselves, but they refuse because they don't trust themselves.

It's the same reason why you see the terms "raw" and "unsafe" when webdev shitters talk about C.
The idea of passing around and performing operations on memory addresses frightens numales and women.

>men: what the fuck happened?

no, retard, it's because sandboxed environments are safer and therefore easier and faster to develop in, which is what every fucking development and project manager wants

also good luck doing webdev in C lmao

A FUCKING ROACH

That thing on the right is probably a guy, and possibly a programmer.

Not all of us are autistic weebs who keep up with the latest shitty Jap comics, provide backstory.

Mine usually involves some bondage.

how many layers of irony are you on

Actually it's neither

None, I'm not some dumb memester.

absolutely epic rebuttal, as expected of a /dpt/ fizzbuzz engineer

I'd tap the right guy

a useless pile of shit

wish missalice had a prettier face

it's pretty much her only flaw

Don't forget the disgusting navel

Would fug the qt on the right.
One on the left looks like a bitch

never paid attention to that

>her one-piece swimsuit video is still nowhere to be found
fuck

Fucking this. Developers today are just "eh who needs to optimise when they can just buy a better graphics card and more RAM".

the one on the right is an even bigger bitch

Oh so artsy~

without the anime color scheme it just looks like any regular tumblr model

Like,, maybe 5, or 6 right now, my dude.

Its not that bad, just a little goofy looking

Her body is pretty much perfect though

that doujin has been widely posted for quite a while now

so i'm afraid you're just a retarded newshit

>safer and therefore easier and faster to develop in
Memory safety only makes programs easier to develop with when you're dealing with one of those very rare invalid access bugs where it doesn't just immediately cause a segfault.

Sandboxes and memory safety are really only beneficial because they make it much harder for the programmer to introduce exploits into his code.

yeah she's far from a butterface

Telling someone to kill them self is a bit extreme my dude.

How do you know? Are you roach experts? Thought so, shut the fuck up.

Filtered ;)

do you know where you are

Yeah, but it doesn't stop it from being rude. You shouldn't tell someone to kill them self. It's not nice.

You're like a little kid

I feel like you might want to kill yourself mate.

>He watched so much shitty moe anime he thinks being a beacon of kindess will gain peoples love and respect

Reddit's safe space policy might be more up your alley, muh dude.

Nah, it's just I know people who have attempted and it just hurts my heart.

That's pretty rude dude, you shouldn't be telling others to kill themselves.
I don't really go on the safe space subs when I'm on Reddit.

I'm sorry your friends failed at failing

That's gotta hurt. Did you at least tell them to do it properly next time?

...

Once they get better we joke about trying harder next time, but you still shouldn't tell someone to kill them self cause they might be close to doing so if you don't know them.

>them self
>referring to a single person

>using green text

...

You don't have to worry about some asshole punching an extra hole in your program card anymore

if you haven't yet figured out why developer time is worth much more than CPU time, you are a fucking idiot and your opinions are worthless.

the lpad fiasco is a result of javascript sucking and not having a good standard library.

you also don't seem to understand what "unsafe" means.

Lol

...

Yes. /dpt/ will claim it hasn't as they achieve nothing with their minimal fizzbuzz-tier programs, but even C is an abstraction over assembly. To complain about modern languages being useful abstractions over older languages is like complaining about how C programmers don't just deal with every single portability issue and program in every assembly

No

The nerdy fringe elements of hackerdom somehow became the average programmers

>programming then:
>we'll write a program that does thing on the slowest computer available
>brilliant. make sure it's extra efficient and only does what's needed to complete the job, buying a better computer for trivial shit like extending a text editor in a scripting language is a waste of money.

>programming now:
>okay duderinos we're gonna write ELEGANT and COOL solutions to problems to maximize HACKABILITY and MODERN...ness! check out our new text editor based on a web browser with the principles of functional programming!
>awesometastic! it's so hackable, i can make lolcats in it!
>wow so ditching emacs for this

Computers being good enough on average to handle it helped.

that doesn't mean anyone went out of their way to read it

...

this is the most autistic post I've read in my life

>The nerdy fringe elements of hackerdom somehow became the average programmers
Pretty much this. People more concerned with the image of being a programmer than actually being one. The intern at my workplace has said something extremely similar to
>awesometastic! it's so hackable, i can make lolcats in it!
before.

I hate the tech industry so much

>YO DUDES, IM A UNICORN -- A 10X ROCKSTAR DEV HERE TO PUT SOME AWESOME SAUCE ON THIS EPIC RIGHT HERE
>YOU CAN HALF THE TIMEBOX ON THIS ONE BROS, LET'S SMASH THIS SPEC

...

It's accurate

The software dev culture of copyleft and shareware hobbyists accidentally fucked the business-oriented culture of actual business and now your electronic timecard system comes with support for themes

Why? Because the bubble expanded and hired all those fucking nerds.

but you're fucking wrong. your vision of the past and present are just wrong. none of this ever happened you are just BTFO because Atom is too advanced for you and probably javascript 101 is too hard because you are another php python pajeet.

You don't need to reinvent the wheel !

whatever you say, you cargo cult shitter

all my what?

>/dpt/ aspie gets hired for webdev job
>is asked to make a simple CRUD API
>spends months trying to implement HTTP and process a basic request instead
>gets fired
this would be fucking hilarious to witness and also a likely scenario considering how many of you literal retards are obsessed over reinventing the wheel

>he can't implement HTTP

you're not a programmer

>putting words in my mouth
>completely missing the point

you're not above 80 IQ

I want to be part of the karma train!
