I AM AN EXPERT PROGRAMMER

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

I will answer your questions.

Why did you make C suck so fucking much?

>>3
I had no part in the design of C. It's entirely Dennis Ritchie's work.

>>4
Okay, then why didn't you stop him?

Were you the first programmer who ate a wolf?

>>5
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
>>6
Maybe. There could have been someone before me.

LISP

I'm better at debugging programs than writing them due to lack of creativity and knack for seeing people's flaws.

And what's so bad about not having to debug your application?

Why should I believe you, or follow a link from someone in their first 10 posts? Why is that book worth reading? What does SICP stand for?

Hmm, at least the link seems to be honest (pointing where it appears to point).

Thanks.

I checked it this morning and it looked good.

$ cd /xkcd/forums
bash: cd: /xkcd/forums: No such file or directory

"back to" != cd. Are you some soft of Ubantoo fag who has the commandline mastered cos you know how to use Pico?

Could debian come up with gayer release names.

Do you guys realize that there is no article about The Sussman on Wikiquote? I think everyone should know that /prog/ is unscientific and ultimately destructive.

>>18
Blame the makers of Toy Story. or the faggot who decided to use Toy Story naming scheme.

>>20

I think Richard Sussman is pretty smart guy.  eh wrote the K&R manual and doesn't afraid of anything.

>>24

I lol'd like there's no tomorrow.

Everybody uses a similar style convention of numbering releases.

>>27
Knuth uses version numbers converging to π.

>>28
Knuth also has an organ.

>>29
Is he willing to become an organ donor after his death?

book Structure and Interpretation.

What happened to the organ?
