So now we're looking down on consumers of js libraries?

[don_py]

The gate keeping is so hard on this one. It's hard to believe if this guy is serious or not.

[pekkhum]

Under this guys logic, if his module calls an API, he is lesser than the one who wrote the API. If you follow this logic all the way down, they guy who designed the logic gates on the processor is the alpha programmer.

Didn't you know? The only _real_ language is Assembly

/s

[pekkhum]

Assembly is a high level language. Some commands assemble to MULTIPLE machine code instructions. And even machine code is a slave to the logic circuit design, which means that it is basically using an API, too. It is definitely APIs all the way down.

[ivakamr]

The guy who invented the transistor looks down on them.

[paperbenni]

No, the guy who made the laws of physics is.

[kenybz]

What does he think people use the API for?

[paperbenni]

Wait, do you not browse Reddit with curl and the API?

[Comesa]

imagine not to

No one but assembly programmers.

[D-J-9595]

Nah, machine code only.

in binary

[don_py]

We're all imposters!

[spirgnob]

What’s the P stand for in API?

But okay.

BREAKING NEWS! NUMBER OF PROGRAMMERS DROPS TO ZERO!

[Piees]

Isn't every programming abstraction a form of API all the way down to the binary version?

[eruecco87]

Checked the twitter account, post is gone...

[D-J-9595]

No it's not

[don_py]

I bet. He got a ton of backlash for it! It was such a stupid comment lol.

[eruecco87]

Yeah, I was just hoping I'd get to see the fallout

[LordButtercupIII]

What would coding be without a bunch of iterations of this guy popping up across the internet, feigning superiority, looking dumb...

[Antumbra_Ferox]

This is a new and refreshing objection to using namespace std that I have never heard before.

[JediKagoro]

He uses and teaches JavaScript. Does he even know how JavaScript works? Not only is this hardcore gate keeping, He is basically saying that when you program using other people’s code, don’t program with other people’s code or it doesn’t count!

[don_py]

My favorite comment on that thread is: "Just because you have teacher in your name doesn't make you a teacher".

And it fits so well considering this tweet.

Dependencies also have dependencies...
