    Right hand to baby Jesus, I thought Kmart was basically no longer in operation, when did it become a programming language for nerds?

        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.

    Bottom right should be “You’re a nerd and getting old”.

    Source: I was dicking around with mod_perl yesterday.

    Ah, yes. My favourite programming language (checks notes) HTML…

    If your favourite programming language is HTML, we do not grant you the title of Nerd.

    Nope, JS is “You think you are nerd”.

    Also, why React is there? It’s a lib not a language

      HTML 5 is also not a programming language.

      That being said. The JS hate is kinda cringe at this point. It’s a perfectly fine language all things considered.

        I wouldn’t say it’s a perfectly fine language but I also don’t understand the people hating on JS developers. If anything kudos to them for suffering through a language filled with such BS as “==” not actually doing what you think it should do (when coming from other languages).

      Come on y’all, would you lay off the gatekeeping. Some of us still think the free web’s a good thing, lest we all end up in a walled garden hellscape. JavaScript is therefore needed if we’re being pragmatic. Just transpile it from TypeScript if you’re too stuck up for dynamic languages building something big.

    No Haskell so I’m not a nerd 😎. Though from the languages I use the most (Java & Python) and other languages I enjoy (Rust, Julia) I can infer that I’m probably a bit of a nerd.

    matlab is nobody’s favourite language. although using it does require an engineering degree, which makes you a nerd.

    • Java: you are in corporate IT
    • JS: you like surface things more than efficiency
    • Ruby: you are a gamer/modder/plugin maker
