Why I hate all this stuff

Hi /prog/.

Tonight I'm lurking on 4chan... on /b/, on /s/ (I love /s/), and so on... and it seems that 4chan sucks a lot in this very moment. So I got here on /prog/ ...and geez, it sucks as well. All this place is full of garbage, nonsense and copypasta. Copypasta. More copypasta. There seems to be nothing else. After months I follow your "programming" discussion you are still arguing on what's the best programming language and asking each other wether you read your fucking SICP.

tl;dr I hate you bitches.

>>1
back to /b/ please also no-one comes on /prog/ for the stimulating conversation on computer science and programming, we come to be trolls and argue about pointless minutiae.

Ignore the crap. The rest of /prog/ is great.

>>3
and then /prog/ was empty

>>3

If you remove craps from /prog/ all you get is the empty set. What's your point?

>>4,5
I'm disappointed at you. Please be more numerous next time.

Your wish is my command.

Then /prog/ would be like a toilet without water!

I lol'd

No lengthy, philosophical examination of /prog/ would be complete without first pondering more existential questions like why /prog/ is shit, and how. The answers may surprise and delight you. There are many interlocking components to the /prog/ process. Comments posted to /prog/(trolls, serious replies, spam, misguided /b/ posts) must first be processed into simpler, smaller elements suitable for delivery via the optical nerve to muscle and fatty tissue in the /prog/gers's body.

It's called Eternal September. First noted by Dave Fisher,^[1] it signaled the beginning of the decline of Usenet when AOL opened up access to Usenet for their customers. An Eternal September moment is when some early adopters of a community consider said community to be "lost" in some regard. One day they realize that contained inside the community is nothing more than meme spam, spam, irrelevant posts and topics, destructive trolls, and lack of challenging thoughts, ideas, and discussion.

There are those that can compare old threads posted to /prog/ back in 2005, and the current batch now. There is most definitely a noticeable decline in quality. This is not the fault of the moderators, moot, Mr VacBob, or the rest of the 4chan staff, but rather the users' rampant abuse of the site using the anonymity that 4chan provides. There's nothing that can really be done about it without the use of drastic intervention.

So in summation, if you'd like to have programming related discussing with substance and intelligence, you must leave 4chan and fine other areas that host said discussion.

Are you kidding? The Golden Age of /prog/ was in 2007/2008, between Wokon and FrozenVoid. In 2005 it was barely better than /pr/.

``tl;dr'' >>1 is a moron who doesn't understand the point of /prog/. Leave already.

>>16
/prog/ in 2005-2006 was like /b/ in 2003-2004.

actually the golden years we're 2008-2009
anyone who disagrees is a newfag

>>17
If you mean that /prog/ was never good, just like /b/ was never good, then you are correct.

>>16
Agreed.  I started lurking /prog/ when HAX MY ANUS  spam was considered the downfall of /prog/.  I got a good laugh from the James, JAVA part V and [b]95% of prog can't do...[b/] threads.   Now /prog/ is nothing more than ENTERPRISE language trollfests, spam from other boards, and typical /g/worthy pillowtalk.  And yet I still come here...

In a sense, this goes along with my general theory that weeaboos are the pioneers of the internet and internet memery.  If you observe closely, over time the general ``attitude'' of /prog/, or any other *chan board for that matter, has shifted gradually from altruistic weeaboo to typical /b/tard LULZ IM COOL CUZ IM BADZ N SHIT CUZ IM ANONYMOUS style asshole.

No, the golden years were back in 2001, 後藤真希 & 4th gen... oh, how I miss them.

HAXUS THE LESSER

It is official; Netcraft now confirms: /prog/ is dying

One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered /prog/ community when IDC confirmed that /prog/'s trolling share has risen yet again, now up to over 90 percent of all posts. Coming close on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that YHBT, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. /prog/ is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent bout of ENTERPISE QUALITY THREADS.

You don't need to be a Cudder to predict /prog/'s future. The hand writing is on the wall: /prog/ faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for /prog/ because /prog/ is dying. Things are looking very bad for /prog/. As many of us are already aware, /prog/ continues gain trolls. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

SICP readers are the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its EXPERT PROGRAMMERS. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time /prog/ VIP Xarn and Christopher only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: /prog/ is dying.

Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

/prog/ moderator MrVacBob states that there are 7000 trolls at /lounge/. How many /vip/ trolls are there? Let's see. The number of /lounge/ versus /vip/ posts on 4chan BBS is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 /vip/ trolls. /anime/ trolls on 4chan BBS are about half of the volume of /lounge/ trolls. Therefore there are about 700 trolls on /anime/. A recent article put /prog/ at about 80 percent of the trolls on 4chan BBS. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 /prog/ trolls. This is consistent with the poor quality of /prog/ posts.

Due to the troubles of /prog/, abysmal posts and so on, 6.001 stopped using SICP and was taken over by the Anti Cudder who prefers FIOC. Now SICP is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.

All major surveys show that /prog/ has steadily declined in discussing programming related material. /prog/ is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If /prog/ is to survive at all it will be among curious /b/tards and hardcore trolls. /prog/ continues to decay. Nothing short of a cockeyed miracle could save /prog/ from its fate at this point in time. For all practical purposes, /prog/ is dead.

Fact: /prog/ is dying

This is what /prog/ was like   2007-2008

Once you get past the first two years, every spike is an instance of increased shittiness. We seem to be coming down from one (presumably /pr/ is back up, or at least the kids that flooded in from there got bored and left), so maybe things will improve again for a bit.

FrozenVoid was a jerk. I hated it.

please don't talk about, or talk to invisible posters.

LOL @ OP

sage is not the same on textboards as it is on imageboards.
if you care about the difference so much please return to the imageboards and with their "correct meaning of sage".

why ? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY??????????????????????????

WHY MY ANUS

Do not try to change an environment that you don't like. If you do not like a certain place, don't try to adjust. If you didn't like it in the first place, then you will never like it. Cya

It is now official. Netcraft confirms: >>1 is dying

One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered >>1 fan community when IDC confirmed that >>1 market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all posts. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that >>1 has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. >>1 is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent attempt to GET 1000.

You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict >>1's future. The hand writing is on the wall: >>1 faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for >>1 because >>1 is dying. Things are looking very bad for >>1. As many of us are already aware, >>1 continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

>>1 is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core brain cells. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time >>1 supporters >>2 and >>950 only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: >>1 is dying.

Due to the troubles of kusosure, abysmal replies and so on, >>1 went out of business and was taken over by >>100- who sell another troubled GET. Now >>500 is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.

All major surveys show that >>1 has steadily declined in market share. >>1 is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If >>1 is to survive at all it will be among GET dilettante dabblers. >>1 continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, >>1 is dead.

Fact: >>1 is dying
