/prog/ metadiscussion

I think /prog/ is slipping, a lot.

Recently theres been a lot of talk about HTML, Java, plz help me hack, BB-fucking-code! and worse people in fucking reddit are linking to us.
This is not acceptable, there are encrption and compression threads getting ignored while people discuss PHP in detail.

Fucking "memes" starting to take over like "IM AN EXPERT CODER" or "IVE READ SICP", "PYTHON HAS THE FORCED INDENTATION OF CODE" and this shit, come on grow the fuck up.

Can you really live with yourselves after letting /prog/ get like this?
Its time to fucking do somthing, we need less of this shit and more worthwhile discussion about type inference and compilers/interpreters and stuff.

/prog/ is like /vip/ for programmers. And that's pretty good.

It's the "how do i becum a hakkur(sp)?????!?!?!?!?" posts that irk me. It's like these doody-for-brains indurrviduals didn't understand what programming was, apart from "the stuff with the computer that involves the ke-wye-bo-arrrr-duh and/or the morbo"; so they come to /prog/ with their asinine bullshit rather than the more appropriate /comp/ (or, more likely, /vip/).

So yeah. Give me moderator powers and I'll give you a clean, righteous /prog/.
