Bottom line: this tweet just confirms that John was never interested in programming. Not in 80s, not in 90s, not in 00s and not now, only now it became hip to know coding, and so John has to include it in his repertoire of "cool things" he supposedly did in his life.
 
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, way to throw her "idol" Samus Aran under the bus. Are she, Lucina, Zelda, Palutena, Peach, Rosalina, etc. and the other female charas on the roster not good enough for her? Or is Brianna trying to "bury" how she and her also really dumb friends were obsessed with the idea of Samus being a trans woman, and got absolutely slammed for it? :story:

I think the best part was when the fellow troon that helped Wu pass that stupidity around got mega-butthurt and sperged about how they made this shit up because they wanted to "take things from the cis people". HAHAHAHA. You're 0.1 % of the population, you silly troon - you ain't taking anything from cis people aside from the occasional dick up the ass for $20.

He supposedly did some actual programming on the Palm back in the '90s-'00s, but no one's ever unearthed concrete evidence.
 
Where is the fucking post for Amanda, John?

Oh yes, weighing in on another fighting game which you undoubtedly play at tournament-level skill. Why, too few characters to masturbate to in Dissidia, John?

John giving coding advice when the only thing he ever made was filled with bugs and is poorly optimized. A first year CS student could do 10x better.

Forgive me if I don't take Mrs. "having to unlock characters is such bullshit" 's game reviews seriously

So true John, and buying new cars and video games and shiny gadgets and throwing them in a corner to collect dust after two hours certainly is the path to enlightenment.

So your parents dropped thousands of dollars on you for programming resources when you are growing up? Not too shabby for a poor black girl abandoned by her parents!

This seems accurate, John, and your pipeline is like one of those that dumps industrial waste into rivers that people need to use for bathing and drinking water.

Odd, I don't believe my parents paid anything extra for me to dick around in BASIC on our 386.

Especially when said review immediately contradicts itself by saying he played so much of it, but then confirming it was awful. And it's a fighting game, too, so it's not a case of an RPG having a shit story but still being fun because the combat mechanics are awesome or the like. A fighting game that is an "epic disaster" with their fights really doesn't have enough to offer. And, if it sucks so much, why would Wu want to base his game mechanics on it? Normally Wu at least gets through a post before moving onto the next lie, it's like his brain shutdown mid post and he had to jump from one lie to the next.
 
Is there actually even a shortage of coders, and will there continue to be? Or is this just another short-lived fad, like back in the late 90s when it was declared that being an "HTML Programmer" would be your path to career longevity and the big bucks?

The people pushing the "shortage of coders" narrative are business owners who want the government to green light more visas for pajeets so they can drive down salaries.
 
888 on the coding market:
tl;dr If you want the big bucks with career longevity, go for embedded programing. Tons of openings, unlike other languages with assembly you can't just farm it out to no-talent pajeets to pirate code from google (you can farm it out to pajeets with talent, but they want to be paid appropriately).

Coding is still a valid career path, and shows no sign of stopping being one with two caveats:
1) You need to actually be good at "programming" and not just 1-2 languages, and willing to flex & keep pace with the industry. HTML coding isn't needed anymore, but you can still get work as web developer. Front end work has gone to CMS systems, back end has shifted to PHP/ASX/Ruby. If you kept up with the changes in the industry, you'd be fine, and you'd have ported your HTML wizardry to PHP. Otherwise you're going to have a worthless skill set and a hell of a time getting upto speed.

2) Unless you plan to die at an early age, or just have a full mental breakdown, you need to have an exit strategy. You might be one of the one-in-ten-million who can do the coder lifestyle for 40 years, but its unlikely. You need to either move to front end work or management, and make sure that's happening by about your mid-30s or you are going to have a bad time. Coder managment, aka Pajeet wrangling, is lucrative with lots of career mobility and geographic options.


:offtopic: but revelant to this discussion:
There is a computer & user authentication system by Novel, that had been at "also ran" levels for about 20 years and is pretty much a dead product at this point.
I have a friend who achieved Novel's highest certification around 2000. He does not put this on his resume, because he learned he doesn't want to work for any company that is looking for Novel guys after the mid-aughts.
He has turned down ridiculous rates, we're talking almost near 4-figures an hour, because he knows the environment is going to be a complete and utter shitshow, and he doesn't want to deal with that anymore.

The moral here is chances are even if you do end up getting shoe horned into some obscure dead-end technology, you can still make a career out of it. You just might regret it.
 
I take pleasure knowing my toddlers know more about programming than Brianna Wu from their programmable toddler toys.

Yeah, that's cobblers though.
When johnny boy was pretending to be "overachieving graduate student" Lauren Milovy, her palm pilot stories were all about entertainment not development. Developer Wu as a distinct personality barely existed until like 2014, she never mentioned it on any of her old websites.

Yeah, I don't think John was doing any Palm development. That stuff was pretty high rigor / low reward. Not his cup of tea.

John's issue isn't that he's not smart enough to do basic programing. His issue is that he has no patience for details, resolve, or willingness to actually work at anything to build skills over time. I mean, case in point: his whole thing for the last decade or whatever has been "being a woman". Look at how shitty he is at that.
 
I love @UselessRubberKeyboard nick because it's a) true b) I remember using this as an argument in "my computer is better than yours" school fights.
It was the first computer many kids used when I was growing up. It came with a huge book that told you how to code a few simple games, and all it took was a curious little bastard with too much time on their hands and it all went from there. Even the kids least interested in computers could make the things print 'fuck' across the screen on repeat (and then run away giggling like idiots, leaving a screenful of sweary in the school library or electronics store). It didn't take $1000+ dollars, just a bit of time, effort and a friend or two to pass on any new tricks learnt. Yeah, it wasn't exactly top-level stuff but kids are kids.

Wu's just showing her rich parenting (again).
