/plumb/

A board filled with plumbers. Said plumbers rarely do any plumbing.
They prefer to spend their money and life to buy new wrenches and make
sure they have the latest and greatest wrenches money can buy. They come to
/plumb/ to compare their wrenches and mock those of inferior wrenching capabilities.
Suddenly one of them gets hired to do plumbing. He grabs a normal wrench.

+It is steel. Not the perfect steel-titanium-vanadium alloy.

+It doesn't have grips.

+It doesn't have multitool qualities.

Yet the plumber does the job and gets paid. He comes back to /plumb/ and tells his story.
A storm of "theoretical plumberists" rush in the thread to note that his wrench is the shittiest
wrench the wrench industry has to offer.

"Get a proper wrench holder."
"I crafted my wrench my own from ingots! It has 0.01% faster twist"
"My iWrench is aerodynamic , I paid 1500$ for it"
"I just use my old MS-wrench to scare people off so I need it big and ugly"
"Yeah but how cool is your wrench when you try to melt it?"

A board filled with programmers. Said programmers rarely do any programming.
They prefer to spend their money and time to learn new programming languages and make sure they are using the latest and trendiest programming language. They come to
/prog/ to compare their programming languages and mock those of inferior programming language capabilities.
Suddenly one of them gets hired to write code. He grabs a normal programming language.

+It is java. Not the perfect programming language.

+It doesn't have closures.

+It doesn't have first class functions.

Yet the programmer does the job and gets paid. He comes back to /prog/ and tells his story.
A storm of "theoretical computer scientists" rush in the thread to note that his language is the shittiest
language the programming language industry has to offer.

"Get a proper development tool-chain."
"I write my code in binary, it has 0.01% faster execution"
"My IBM C++ compiler is super efficient, I paid 3680$ for it"
"I just use Visual Basic to scare people off so I need it big and ugly"
"Yeah but how cool is your Java when you try to decompile it?"
