The original non-/g/-meme definition?

When you ask advices from /g/

You have nothing to do with the core implementation of the project you're working on, you're just one of many coders crapping out the implementation as quickly as possible.

Have you ever written any code that you know is beautiful? Any hack that just boggles the mind, but once you've written it it's magnificent?
Ever wrote anything nobody has ever done before?

Do you like to learn things?
Yes? Go do the hardest thing you can think of, you'll learn cool stuff.
No? There's your problem. Stick with a Java job, safe and easy for the next 40 years.

>Yes? Go do the hardest thing you can think of, you'll learn cool stuff.
I love difficult programming tasks. I just know my code is shitty, but I don't know how to design it better. even if I read about programs design, algorithms, design patterns, etc. I don't really know how to apply it in practice and quickly forget what I learned
>Stick with a Java job
h-how did you know? I used to know other languages though and I'm learning C and starting to learn ASM at the moment
The highest math course you did was calculus or linear algebra
you're a monkey
>“Enterprise programming” (a.k.a. the faggot paradigm that will make you use OOP in a Hello World
>“Software engineering” (Computer engineering minus everything that’s good in it but you like it because muh nurd stuff and no math or physics needed)
>Coding boot camps
>Javascript, the language in whichfor(i=0;i<100;i++)declares i as a GLOBAL variable
>C#, the Microshaft language for retards
