For people who cheat by using JBuilder, Visual Age, Forte, Eclipse, NetBeans and such. REAL programmers use vi . . .

hehe...who said programmers dont have a sense of humor. im wondering what vi is though. i thought real programmers used notepad.


I never took notes in college. That's how I got a 4.0 the first 2 years, and a 3.5 the second two years.

What's notepad? I though real programmers wrote code by banging magnetic rocks together, thus producing exactly the correct amount of electricity to denote a '1' or a '0'.

Real programmers don't say something like "Real programmers don't use XXX" - real programmers use whatever is available and serves their current needs!

Real programmers would rather be used car salesmen then work with MicroSucks products.

Programmers do not exist any more. There are only APIers. Unless you still program in C or better yet, Assembly.
