/pr/ig disgusting

I strayed away from /prog/ for a moment and I'm honestly appalled at the level of discussion at the programming boards of other imageboards. It's like those shitty "learning how to program guise, what should my first language be I'm think C# XDXD" threads, but that's the entire board.

What's even worse is that they have the gall to claim that /prog/ is nothing but memespam, when they can't have any discussion more complex than "OMG MY FIRST PROGRAM WONT COMPILE WAT DO I DO????" Truly laughable.

The only other tolerable programming communities seem to be on iichan and 4-ch.

they have the gall to claim that /prog/ is nothing but memespam
It's not that they don't have a point, it's that they fail recognize that meme spam is better than what they provide. The meme spam tends to come in cycles, you just have to ride it out or post some fucking content


The /prog/cycle
Good threads -> flame wars -> get lazy and start spamming memes -> metathreads about spam -> more spam -> Maybe good threads
