I lived through 8 years of a non-reading president along with everyone else. I know that the brogrammers out there are constantly getting texts from their buddies to plan the weekend's broactivities, trying to decide in whose mancave they'll be setting up their lan party, and are thoroughly distracted in between futzing with their smart phones and writing a few lines of code per day by cutting and pasting it from stackoverflow. But it's really not ok to act functionally illiterate when you're not actually illiterate, when an advanced society that once put a man on the moon worked so hard to educate you.<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #amen #brogrammers #imported:pinboard #literacy #mongodb #nosql #reading #writing</p> Sat, 23 Feb 2013 17:56:57 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:32443 amen brogrammers imported:pinboard literacy mongodb nosql reading writing http://hackingdistributed.com/2013/01/29/mongo-ft Look, I realize that we live in a TL;DR culture.

They don't go the extra mile to comment things. If their typing skills are really bad, they may opt to comment the code in a second, optional pass. And the ones who essentially type with their elbows? They even sacrifice formatting, which is truly the most horrible sin a programmer can commit. Well, actually, no, scratch that. It's the second worst. The worst is misspelling an identifier, and then not fixing it because it's too much typing. But shotgun formatting is Right Up There."<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #literacy #programming #typing</p> Fri, 12 Sep 2008 18:01:19 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:11389 literacy programming typing
