What does it say about a person like me who reads all these damn memes even though I don't know jack shit about programming?

[–] GlitterInfection@lemmy.world 111 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're a geek.

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 66 points 2 years ago

When I saw this reply in my inbox I honestly had no idea which of my posts it was going to be related to because it could probably apply to most of them.

I'm like that because:

I need a hobby
weird history with programming, but never actually liked any programming language enough to have a real project.
now I found a niche language* that I like but so far it's just not where I want get started (one example, still no bindings for Godot 4)
Ray almost tricked me into making a framework for a framework but I saw right through that
personal issues

Not all of these are programming languages btw

[–] racketlauncher831@lemmy.ml 59 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're a nerd for knowing that.

[–] fer0n@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I was basically begging for that comment ^^

If you recognize them all, you're a double nerd

Can I be a 1.99x nerd if I missed the bird one? (Swift, from a quick search)

This interface is bloated

[–] Jorgelino@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

How did you take a selfie with your feet? Impressive.

[–] enitoni@beehaw.org 17 points 2 years ago

Ah yes, React my favorite programming language.

[–] Muffi@programming.dev 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

MATLAB is such a scam. Luckily a growing amount of universities are starting to realise it.

What about PowerShell?

[–] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Have you ever been to PowerShell Summit? It's the only nerd conference I've ever attended where only about half the attendees actually realized they are nerds at a nerd conference. I love the vibe. It's got style and pizzazz.

That said, the added entry for PowerShell would still be: "You are a nerd."

[–] Sweetpeaches69@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

No, but now that's absolutely on my radar, lol.

And yes! Woohoo!

[–] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My favorite programming language is VBA

[–] AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Legit tho you can do crazy shit with VBA. Excel is not sandboxed.

I don't have a favorite language, I just hate haskell less than all the other languages I have tried.

[–] platypus_plumba@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Do you get a heart attack every time you need to write to a database, effectively causing a side-effect? Only real Haskell developers do.

[–] baseless_discourse@mander.xyz 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Dude, I have a heart attack when I lift a finger, causing a side effect to the keyboard.

In fact, I have a heart attack whenever my heart starts beating, causing a side effect in my veins.

[–] platypus_plumba@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Damn, this guy Haskells.

[–] Asudox@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Haskellers Haskell their way through Haskell. Simple.

PHP: You're not a nerd. But you are at least trying.

[–] First@programming.dev 10 points 2 years ago

PHP: You were a nerd, now you're just outdated (and/or a WordPress developer).

[–] clb92@feddit.dk 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Omg, it's scary how accurate this is!
I am a nerd!

It seems to me some of those should be "you're a masochist and a nerd" when they're somebody's favorite language.

[–] PoolloverNathan@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I don't see Haskell on there!

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Look, I was forced to learn R (very badly) for my PhD (which I didn’t complete). So technically I’m not a nerd (it’s sadder than that). Yay!!

[–] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Well shit. It's got me dead to rights on a couple of these.

Rust: you are transgender

ASM: you are a nerd

Python: You are a high school student

Java: Your brain is so big you can accomplish anything.

PHP: You could likely do it all in JavaScript

HTML + CSS: You don't know programming but still want to look cool. If you need JavaScript you can ask ChatGPT.

Brainfuck: you like to brag

Hey, I’m an engineer and a nerd and I prefer R. It not only does statistics, it lets me show them so clearly a business major can understand the implications

[–] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm a software engineer and data scientist.

MATLAB is trash politically, monetarily, for writing APIs, for structuring your APIs and code, and for packaging your work.

The only limitation R has is the structuring one.

I prefer Python. And Rust.
