I don't feel fulfilled as a programmer unless I'm inputting instructions by hand on punch cards. I refuse to work anywhere or use software that uses any higher level abstractions. It might feel faster using Assembly or using a keyboard but there's actually no productivity gains.
Guys I’ve watched a LOT of Star Trek Tee En Gee with my dad when I was growing up and he loved it a lot and he said that someday we’d have holodecks and talking computers and the engineering we do today would be child’s play but guys now I can talk to the computer and it talks back guys it says it’s my friend and I don’t understand all the code it writes at all so this must be the magic future where things are so advanced guys we made it I’m so happy I can just ask daddy to go get me the thing I always wanted but we didn’t know how to make before guys but now it can and this lets me be the BEST engineer like Joey Laugh Orge but on earth and right now instead of in space but later and it’s all thanks to this robot I can totally trust and have to pay a subscription for but the future is nows guys it’s so obvious I can’t believe I’m alive to see it happen
I watched Quantum Leap with my dad when I was a kid. You're gonna try and tell me I'm not writing this reply on Ziggy?
