Java Programmers are the Erotic Furries of Programming

Inspired by the Brunching Shuttlecocks’ Geek Hierarchy and Penguin Pete’s How to totally fake being a geek, I thought the hierarchy of programmers needed documenting.

    […] If you’re still unclear, check here to find out why your language sucks. And finally, there’s The Programmer Hierarchy. I’m pretty happy to be up there near the top of the food chain. […]

    It is also a reflection of progression (or more accurately, regression) of a typical programmers career path…

    eg: most oldie assembler programmers moved down to C, their first ‘high level’ language, then C++ and finally C# (though a few led debauched lives and went straight to he… err… I mean Java)

    and those that went to C#, were happy because they didnt have to go the much loathed (to C/C++ programmers at least) VB.

    Finally, if I were refactoring this hierarchy… I would move heaven and earth to put VB at the same level as HTML - sorry!

    I think really java would go between C++ and C#… has it really fallen this far, or is “the hierachy” different for different people ?

    Where do we place Steve Yegge then? A LISP and assembler programmer who has written a half-million-line Java game in his spare time and recently rewrote Ruby on Rails in Javascript?

    […] a C/C++ company, so I thought it’d be wrong to rip on Ruby. I thought it’d be unfair. Because I know C and they don’t know…shit. *laughter* So I had to wait until May of 2007 until I started working for a PHP company […]
