Anyone else slightly annoyed by the recent uptick of "look at me cute and I'm a programmer" accounts on Instagram? NO YOU WRITE JAVASCRIPT AND RUN WHATS BASICALLY A LIFESTYLE INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT. SIT DOWN.

Javascript is a programming language.

@jlave215 this is not denied anywhere in the op

@Kimmax Let me recap: "look at me... i'm a programmer." NO YOU WRITE JAVASCRIPT...

I think it's very clear what was meant.

@jlave215 you salty? I never said js wasn't a real language. It has a place in the browser. But it's been poliferated to be a general purpose language when it is not. Plus the tooling blows goats.

Yeah best is prolog

@frustrated-dev You frustrated? Oh...nevermind.

@Jifuna awww. Go back to your bootcamp 😘

@jlave215 you forgot the rest of the sentence....

It's worse when someone refers to themselves as a "hacker" when they post a dick picture on a Facebook account someone left logged in.

@frustrated-dev Honestly, name one practical task that Node.js can't do that "real" programing languages can.

@MaxMarchuk here, have this pointer.

@MaxMarchuk follow-up since I don't want to edit

references, pointers, memory management, types, friend classes, proper oo class structure, structs, enums, typedef, #defines, compile time type checking, templates, generics. Ya know just naming a few. Not to mention the npm ecosystem. Ever tried to run a long term project based on the shit you find on npm? Good luck with maintaining that. If it isn't a top 500 package good chance it's abandoned after a year.

@frustrated-dev Just a joke man. Be cool. Btw, I never been to a bootcamp so, I can't do that.

@frustrated-dev it's actually pretty easy to run a long term Node app in a production environment. You find stable npms and you put them in your project. Done! More issues are actually caused when npm authors update their packages. That's the hard part you're referring to.
