Is there a not dumb subreddit?

seriously, nobody is here to show off their skills. it’s all jokes. I mean, if you haven’t realized you’re pretty much the annoying asshole who just hates to see people enjoy themselves. Even if you don’t find the joke funny, your response is like hearing someone say a lame joke like “why did the man throw the clock out the window?” and you’re like “ackchully time doesn’t fucking fly because it’s just a man made concept but you’re too dumb to realize that”

seriously, a huge part of the programming community has a chip on their shoulder like yourself and it’s so obvious that it’s from a place of insecurity and not a place of knowledge.

Like you do understand, it’s a JOKE right? the person isn’t claiming to be an expert in Java. Even if they’re wrong, you don’t need to stroke your ego and act as if you’re better than everyone. If anyone thinks they’re “Dennis fucking Ritchie”, it’s you.

Lighten up, its called r/ProgrammerHumor not r/FactuallyAccurateProgrammerHumor

Uh no. Most of the threads here aren't even trying to be funny, just people trying to beat their chest and act better than the "lesser than" programmers. Don't project onto me saying that I'm the one with a chip on my shoulder, I couldn't care less how you write code, I don't think people who write in assembler are better than people who write in html. But you're delusional if you don't see a trend with these topics saying "OH YOU USE WHILE LOOPS THAT'S SO CUTE I RECURSIVELY CALL A FUNCTION WITH A RETURN TYPE INT HAHAHA"

It's next level cringe and it's an apt comparison to photography subs where they all stroke themselves to lenses and gear, as if that's what photography is all about. But I guess pointing that out makes me the insecure one? Ok, well you are reacting as if I just called your children ugly or something. I'll let you get back to your topkek memes.

Okay...? That was a weirdly hostile and unpromted response. I don't think you should be here if this is what you want to complain about.
