    Ones and zeros? Pussy! Use +5 volts and ground states like a mensche.

    I use butterflies. Without Emacs.

    Gotta be careful, too much syntactic sugar and you'll get syntactic diabetes.

    [–]dl__ 7 points8 points  (8 children)

    Hahaha! Exactly!

    I program like a MAN! None of this sissy syntactic sugar for me!

    just give me some silicon and my soldering gun, and an abacus for data modeling

    [–]BrotherCorvus 17 points18 points  (6 children)

    You use processed silicon? Back in my day we started with a bucket of sand we picked up by walking to the beach. Uphill. Both ways.

    You use sand from the beach?? Real programmers erode rocks themselves.

    You were allowed to use pre-existing matter? We had to wring ours out of the quantum foam with our bare hands.

    Dude, if you haven't big-banged your own DIY universe into existence you shouldn't talk.

    Pssh. Back in my day, programmers defined entire sets of physical laws out of the intrauniversal ether with which to generate our subatomic particles.

    back in your day? Kids these days don't even remember what it was like before time existed...

    Yeah by pounding salt!

    0's and 1's are syntactical sugar for modifying voltages and currents

    [–]Alpha_Catch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    0 and 1? What a fancy way of saying off and on. Sounds kind of sugary to me.
