transcriptA meme saying: "STOP DOING COMPUTER SCIENCE"

  • Computers were supposed to solve math, NOT to be programmed
  • C is a LETTER, not a language
  • Wanna print() something? Write it in a PAPER with a PEN
  • "I'm writing a recursive method with threads to optimize the CPU usage in a 0.02%" THIS IS A NONSENSICAL STATEMENT MADE BY DERANGED PEOPLE

Look at what PROGRAMMERs have been demanding your respect for, after all the led lights we put in their computers: (This is real COMPUTER SCIENCE, done by real COMPUTER SCIENTISTS)

  • FUNNY COLORED LETTERS (with a picture of syntax-highlighted code)
  • 178 COMPILATION ERRORS????? (with a picture of compilation errors
  • A FAKE TEAPOT YOU CAN'T USE (with a picture of a 3d rendered teapot.

IF PROGRAMMING WAS REAL HOW COME NOBODY THOUGH IN DOING while(true{print(money);}

end transcript.

"Write it in a paper"...I'm not sure how that works but I am very curious

Just use a printer! It’s in the name!!!

If you go back far enough, you'd be coding the ENIAC via punchcards.

... Or maybe today you could write code on paper and have an AI augmented OCR system try to run it?

while(true{print(money);}

There's like 2 syntax errors in this one liner.

Honestly I'm disappointed. The reasons exposed here are much too weak.

Weimar Republic thought of exactly that

Developer here: can confirm. (#4 is actually true.)

Indeed, anytime I optimize code, it ends up taking more CPU to run.
