We can just remove the HTML5 entry all together.
I am old and a nerd and I don’t see Perl on here.
Wait… is it the tiny camel at the bottom?
Yep. It has no logo of its own, so it sometimes gets identified by the animal on the O'Reilly book

JavaScript: You are jus pretending
if you have a favorite language that isn't on this, you're a super nerd.

COBOL: You’re a fucking dinosaur
Fortran has a logo now?
It's just an f in serif
As an engineer this is extremely offensive. MATLAB is for fucking tryhards.

Ah, alcoholic then
Thankfully I suck at that, but holy crap it is prevelent in this industry. The alcohol abuse is cray. Doesn't help when you travel constantly. I don't travel much anymore, but the people who spend 90+% of the year in the field, while having a family, are fundamentally broken. Fun to party once in a while, but when they do this shit multiple times a week, I don't understand.
Couldn't agree more. Field service is one hell of a drug. Money's good, variety is fun, the chaos and travel are fun too, and you learn a lot quickly. The latter often because some or all of the mfg. plant you're visiting needs you to fix your stuff so they can run, and no one is coming to BFE to help you, lol.
But that all wears off, in time, and it starts to take a huge toll like you described. Never met a long term field service engineer with a healthy home life, or with their health in general. I got out because both of mine were crumbling, for real.
Yeah holy shit. When I was starting out and tagged along a senior on a trip he literally hauled a big backpack of spirits with him.
Got out of that industry after a few years when I realized why every senior was drinking. The money was just not worth it for me.
rust: you're about to get a blahaj and a tiny blue pill.
Happy to see Julia on the list.
Apparently I am a nerd. I accept that.
Right hand to baby Jesus, I thought Kmart was basically no longer in operation, when did it become a programming language for nerds?
I am in fact an engineer and a nerd. Or as many of us like to call it, an enginerd
Edit: I wouldn't call Matlab my favorite though... But yes I use it. I mean, I'm on Lemmy... Like loads of users here, I like FOSS. So I'd say python is probably my favorite
My dad first learned to Code in Pascal. Where would he fall?
We nagged our highschool around 97-98 until we got a programming course, we wanted c++ but the IT guy thought c++ would just be a fad, so we learned turbopascal.
I still do.
I wish they'd open source Delphi (and most of the libraries). Might actually breathe some life back into it.
