Programmers are not artisans

Name: Anonymous 2010-06-28 15:11

I am sick and tired of you self important twits that think programming is akin to classical fine art. It's pathetic, any sorry geek that picks up SICP and learns the time complexity of the recursive fibonacci function thinks he's the next fucking Michelangelo. Grow up.

Giotto drew a freehand perfect circle in one try.
The Giotto of programming will discover a sorting algorithm that always resolves as O(n).

The Fibonacci Butt Sort is O(n).

The natural order sort is O(1) (or O(0) if you like, but that's the same thing.)

The only thing this thread tells me, is OP Can't write code.

O(1) (or O(0) if you like, but that's the same thing.)
You either don't understand the big-oh notation, or have found a way to multiply 0 by a real number that will yield a non-zero result.

The only thing this thread tells ME is that OP needs to work on his sense of humor. He's probably an ok guy, just lacking a bit in the social skills.

TIL there are people who think ``artisan'' is just a more pretentious word for ``artist''.

I can't wait for this thread to get to 100 posts before someone manages to work out O(1) vs. O(0) satisfactorily.

I agree with OP, we should stop before we actually became like artisans.

It's already been done already several months ago.

Okay, you got me. And that post exposes my little lie.

Oh, but http://dis.4chan.org/read/prog/1252374566/125 is so much more clever.

Can we ban all of the infidels already, or at least make a rule that they have to convert to the one true religion? It's bad enough having them whine about not sinning all the time, but I also genuinely think that when their lives are filled with the word of the Prophet Muhammad blessed be his name that they will be happy lives.

 Translation of Towelket 1 is coming along smoothly, expect to see a partial translation in about 2~3 days!
Don't change these.
