/prog/ - What brings you here?

It's that thread again, 2012 edition.

Why are you here? What do you like? What don't you like?

I like seeing so many horrible programmers (not all of you are). It's good for my self esteem.

I hate homework questions and people who answer them.

I have nowhere else to go.

Escapism.
In our real lives, we are doomed to work with “industrial-grade” software, i.e. ridden with bugs, done in handicapped technology by incompetent programmers and led by pointy-haired bosses.

But the future lies with the proles: cool rockstar kids, playing with undergraduate-level technology, unaware of the gruesome depths of computer systems engineering.

I'm here because this is the only board on 4chan which is worse than /b/.

Far worse.

When I first started /prog/ I was a freshman in college taking Intro to C, and posted homework for help (LOLUMAD?)

Now I work 60+ hour weeks as a code monkey and laugh at the dumbass kids who still ask "durr wut language learn first? c++ or python? durr". Seriously, just start programming, it doesn't matter (as long as it isn't LISP).

My favorite part of /prog/ nowadays is dubs and binary trips, check 'em niggers.

because real life programmers suck big floppy donkey dick
they're more boring and lame than fish pussy
i guess i'm just not autistic enough to sit for 10 hours straight, without even getting up to piss or eat, and say that i love my job

/prog/rammers on the other hand, are true VIPPERs

Inertia, from years before, hope that a few of the better poster might still be hanging around.
Too many things to list, example of [spoiler]/prog//spoiler]-related things that I like Lisp, C, assembly, ABSTRACT BULLSHITE(some compsci/computability theory topics), AI, but also low-level messes including hardware design.
Things I hate here? Not-so-subtle trolls and memespammers(expected responses, ...). Some bad homework threads. Not using code tags.

trying to enlighten people by introducing them to javascript, an immensely powerful, flexible, lightweight, and sensible programming language

I don't know. It's just familiar I guess. And I don't know anyone in real life that knows APL.
