I was a COBOL programmer during Y2K. I made a mountain of money. I eventually moved on to network administration and retired from that. As a younger man I was a aircraft mechanic which I loved but never made any money. Becoming a programmer gave me a good life.
How it should be, and how programming once was. Just like Latin for science in the days of Isaac Newton, it's a sorely needed bit of gatekeeping to keep out the subversives.
The common rabble had no hope of understanding exactly what happens with memory and references given different ways of passing stuff around in a C program. They still don't, but now they have nigger python, which lowered the entry barrier enough that it's possible to be libtarded and still write a program of sorts.
I always like the story of some public school kids who tried so hard to create a code language the private education kids wouldn't understand. The latter just started speaking the French they'd been taught.
Most western/white people accept modern jewish society as the normal way to live now.
That's a programming achievement for the history books. When John took NLP to the CIA, I was thinking it was probably going to be weaponized in short order. And here we are.
I used to work for a medical company. I was part of a team writing software for pacemakers and heart ablation systems. I did all the automated testing. Now I work for a chemical company working on a team that designs and builds embedded systems and electro-mechanical devices for chemical delivery.
There are a lot of people here who promote working your own business, and I do appreciate that line of thinking, but there are LOTS of higher technology items that can only be built with large teams working for large companies.
agreed, 90% of it for me was fixing other people's programs. One of the most soul sucking careers out there.
Do real things. You can write the most brilliant software of all time and literally zero people will give one flying fuck. But if you make something real they tend to respect it more because they dont have any idea how to do that. With software you can't just see it. So ultra promoted developers write dog shit after dog shit and never get called out on it (cause theyre the only ones that understand all the dogshit they wrote!). But with real things it's plain to see what something really is. There's less room for bullshit to hide.

I just hate the way mathematicians discuss and describe it.
Programmers try to make syntax understandable, to a degree.
Mathematicians are gatekeepers.

Programming is 99% bullshit.
