    WTF??? You elitist snob. Just use the damn tools. It's like you're saying I know I can get this nail in with my screwdriver if I can hit it hard enough so I don't need a hammer. They're just tools to make your life easier. But you go ahead: bang your head against that old school wall.

    Just ridiculous. :thumbsdown: I never want to go back to the command line to code. Ugh! X|

    I've been using screwdrivers to push in nails and make holes in walls for a very long time. Many times it's just easier.

        Hardly ever. And it's BASIC, you heathen. And BASIC is still easier to use than COBOL and Fortran.

                      I am sooo glad I never had to use a line editor. While some of my classmates were using EDT (?) in line mode, the cool kids showed me how to use TECO in screen mode (this was on a PDP-11).

                              You are NOT allowed to walk up to him and push his head through the nearest partition. However if you don't get into a pissing contest with him you may find yourself writing client code for that crap, after all he is try to sell the idea to managers!

                                BASIC-PLUS is what I first learned on a PDP-11. Then some form of Pascal also on a PDP-11. Most of my college work was in VAX Pascal.

                                  Because "succeed" is not in their dictionary? Hey, what's the past tense of "succeed"?

                                    Also glad I never had to do that. The 80s was a great time to begin using computers.

                                      Imperative to Functional Programming Succinctly

                                      I'v been reading Expert F# and I was wondering why the hell are you all (FP guys) obsessed with word succinct?

                                      In this case because it's an entire book series[^] :laugh: The books are about 100 pages long, hence the "Succinct" part ;)

                                        > my god, I have to actually install Visual Studio and work in an IDE? No way. I want to work from the command line for development, and if you want to use C# for the back end, I'm not going to help you. Yes indeed, I heard that on Friday from a Linux guy who is trying to push for a Django / Python back end at the company I'm working at. Fucking script-kiddies. Marc

                                        At the next meeting slip something in his drink. When he's knocked out cold take out his organs shave his beard. When the Lin-Uxorcism is complete enjoy your C# project :D Seriously though, don't you just hate it when people get all religious about their technology? The only tech-religion I have is anti-Apple. That friggin iPhone doesn't even know lower case letters on its keyboard. NO LOWER CASE LETTERS! :wtf: It's waaaaay overpriced for a phone that doesn't know lower case letters... Anyway, don't give in to the Linux guy!

                                          You elitist snob. Talk directly to the processor using binary!

                                          What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

                                          If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill
