Proceeds with continuation in case of undead, reincarnation, or Jebus. Has side-effects if undead.

I feel like I've failed the Sussman and the Abelson. I wanted so much to be an expert programmer, but my inability to create the beautiful black-box abstractions has left me crippled and worth nothing more than Samir from India who writes C# for $0.15/line.
I am so distraught I have intentionally failed to BBCode properly.
See my shame, /prog/! Would that I had never touched a computer than known the disappointment of failing SICP.

Haha, me too. I'd never admit it though. Watch me disappear into the anonymous mass again.

I found it incredibly boring and couldn't bring myself to read it. Might as well have burnt the money.

Every semester when I have to buy textbooks for school, I buy 5 copies of SICP instead. I'm up to 30 copies of SICP stacked on my shelf. When I'm really lonely i like to pile them all around me and fall asleep, letting the Sussman protect me.

Is that your way of saying I will, along with my job?

I don't have any intention of ever reading SICP.

I dropped out of college (Computer Science) years ago, have never had a job, and have never published anything remotely interesting. Sometimes I write patches for open-source projects, but I don't submit them. I still consider myself a programmer.

I've had a job for years, doing PHP and Python (I only had to do Java for 4 days, and I'm getting Python pushed into the organization, yay). I write patches for a few free software projects (C and Python), but don't submit them because they wouldn't get accepted (I make them work my way, after already knowing they don't like this way from talking in the development newsgroups). I still consider myself an EXPERT PROGRAMMER.

I don't know the BBCode for the EXPERT PROGRAMMER meme.

I apply B, I, U and O in any order, then output EXPERT PROGRAMMER, then apply /B, /I, /U and /O in opposite order. For example, quoting the program:

Oops, remove the backslashes. I thought this BBCode interpreter still required them, I'm glad quote works. I guess I can start using [quote ...] now.

Now I can do the EXPERT PROGRAMMER meme, but actually I'm a NOVICE INFORMATION SYSTEMS REQUIREMENTS ANALYST, and I'm jealous of the developers who I work with.

I'm a developer, but all I write is Java. I'm contributing to ENTERPRISE faggotry, and I'm too lazy to find a better job. I'm sorry /prog/

Actually, we're tiny, and I'm the senior developer for internal development (there's another senior developer in the company but he's not writing code). This is why I like it: I get to do a lot of things in every part of the development cycle iterations, I get to take a lot of decisions, and I can discuss anything with my boss (who, surprisingly, almost incredibly, knows what he's talking about, gets to the gory details, and trusts my judgement when I make sense). I love small companies: instead of ENTERPRISE BEST PRACTICES TURNKEY PROFESSIONAL SCALABLE SOLUTIONS, I get to do real R&D, and my work can be as varied as to teach class for a week, install a production server the next day, then back to work on one of the two big projects I'm into. Moreover, we're developing a "not done here" syndrome which means we get to do almost everything, so we can't get bored with a single project.
