"I mean Frank and I laughed for two hours, but no one else in the theater did."

You should have stood up and declared to them all, "I'm a woman!" It would have brought down the house. Best. One-liner. Ever.
 
I suppose it will never hold a candle to the sublime artistry of Terminator 3.

Not surprising that John has no idea how pathetic and creepy it is that two middle-aged gay men, both shunned by their families, choose to spend Christmas Eve watching a crappy sci-fi flick in a theater filled with teen-age boys.
 
YOUR HOUSE NO DELIVERY, MY DLIVER SCARED YOUR FUCKING UGLY ROOMMATE

"And I'm Chinese, so give me the real version with spices"

What real version, and from which region of China, are you expecting from a takeout restaurant in Boston?

And if you want the "real version" of something, you don't place your order in english.

(Not that any of this actually happened).
 
Since Potbelly probably wasn't open on Christmas, I see no reason to doubt that they ordered takeout Chinese food and washed it down with some neon blue Powerade.
 
Thanks for the mansplaining John. And what are you areas of specialty? Scamming and animal abuse don't count.

Let me translate from Wannabe here.
"All the Same" - Once you've learned one language, you'll find other coders with actual talent have probably written functions that will let you do whatever you were doing in that other language in roughly the same way in another one. This will make who ever has to come in after you and actually optimize or debug your code hate you.
"Performance Optimizations" - As a protected minority your code will be committed and you'll be given a gold star. Meanwhile White and Indian/Chinese guys will be force fix your code on emergency rush before release so it doesn't take 12GB of RAM and choke an i7.
"There's no difference between front end and backend" - "I'm just an 'idea person' and my code compiles." Get fucking wrecked.
"I self taught these languages" - yeah, these are the dumbest most retarded "hammer out some code for a sprint, and quickly revise it when you realize you fucked up" languages that are letting you dig yourself a hidden dependency hole for the future. This shit is so inefficient it is painful, but it doesn't matter because hardware is so cheap. Passing the PluralSight Python course doesn't make you good at using the language.
"Never used C++, but are making structural improvements!" - Fucking hell. Sure they might have never used C++, but they'd used something close.
Also, after three months any coder should be making good commits or be ready to find another job. Though the "structural improvements" probably translate to "making the code written by the actual coders be properly formatting, and removing the more egregious swears from the comments.

Please note:
Everyone sucks at coding when they start out unless you are a mutant, in which case good job being ahead of the evolutionary curve. For everyone else, you will for sure suck and only get better with practice, so if you want to be good at coding, there is no substitute for being shit at coding until you get good, just accept it, write your shit code, and then work on making it less it shit. (Or simply accept your shitty bloated unoptimized code is going to work perfectly fine for whatever small task you wanted to accomplish, that's fine too.) Just don't be this person and start crowing about about how good you are at pseudocode. Just like you shouldn't cut off your dick and be a 6'4" shambling balding ghoul.

The only sort of software a generalist can work in is the very narrow space of boring business apps, often just CRUD applications with a web frontend. Sadly, the stupid amount of money fueling startups in SV is for shitty CRUD applications, grabbing mindshare and a network effect, and then monetising the crap out of it (that's all of the social media apps, for starters).

I don't want a generalist writing kernel code, CAD, games engines, compilers, music encoders/decoders, hard realtime code, AI code, mathematical modelling software, and all the other types of programming that assume a professional university education in a STEM field.

Hahah you don't make them sound creepy enough it's almost heartwarming when you put it that way. But I've always felt like Frank's love for bri must be pretty deep.
It doesn't get creepy until you start trying to figure how bri could be this good with frank after his last marriages were so bad.
 
Wu was on BBC Radio 4's 'Today' programme this morning, talking shit about Science Fiction, video games and engineering. Turns out Jeri Ryan as Seven Of Nine was a great role model when Wu was a little girl..what year did John troon out ?

That's a bit of a feather in Bri-Bri's cap, The BBC Today Programme is an august institution in British radio.
