If you're a programmer and don't see what is wrong....

[–] humanamerican@lemmy.zip 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Then you're a typical programmer, at least in my experience.

So interesting. I'm a programmer, I know a lot of programmers, and I'd hate to think that any of them wouldn't immediately recognise the issue.

Not sure if you're the outlier or I am.

I've taught upper level comp sci at a STEM school and I think a majority of my students wouldn't know what they were looking at in this picture.

People who've written doctoral theses on machine learning and and natural language processing have asked me for help building their gaming rig.

Not to say its universal, but the Venn Diagram of programmers and hardware nerds is far from a circle.

I'm definitely not a hardware nerd. I don't know what the current generation graphics cards are called, I have no opinions on liquid cooling, and I haven't bought RAM in a decade. I can still tell that CPU has no cooling at a glance.

Nerdom is a spectrum. You're not on either end of this one.

As someone who has done both, programmer most recently, and has respect for both, you're being very judgy. Both are difficult enough jobs without other tech fields bringing each other down.

I'm not judging. Just observing that a lot of programmers I know wouldn't understand what's happening in this picture so maybe it isn't really programmer humor.

We're looking at a hardware issue. What would a programmer care?

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Personally I'd just patch it in software by coding up my own CPU cooler.

I don't just download my ram, I compile it from source
