runs a business selling C training
I’ve only ever heard this non-ironically from these types
It crashes ten times faster 😅
To be fair, if you have an engineering degree that covered programming you probably learned C, ASM, and low level details about system architecture. But the definition of “engineer” seems a little looser when you’re taking about IT compared to some other fields - SWE is the only “engineering” title you can get without a formal education, AFAIK.
EECS, you gotta know all the way down to electron flow!
I love to gift TIS-100 to anyone who tells me they want to be a programmer. So far it’s been a great measure of success, if they actually play and complete it (observed via steam achievements)
If you don’t know which path the electrons are taking on the silicon wafer, you’re a bad engineer.
in my quantum computer they take all the paths at once
Or do they?
Assembly gang unite against C-wannabees 🔥🔥
If you’re not programming on punch cards you’re a filthy casual
Unless you’re analyzing what microcode is doing with it, assembly is just hiding how things really work, too. Good engineers use early 1990s computers so that they can fully understand what’s going on, and never have to trust anyone else to correctly do anything.
Lots of truth to this, lots of great eastern block engineers came from working with super janky computers that demanded high levels of mastery from their users.
Real engineers run all their code on CPUs they designed in verilog/VHDL.
Real engineers use binary.

Verilog for life!
Lay off me! I’m still trying to learn 6502 assembly.
As someone who has not written a line of code since basic was cutting edge, I hereby throw the entire weight of my expertise behind the supremacy of C
Memories. I remember copying my first BASIC code from a magazine. All it did was display a solid color on the monitor when you pressed any key. Back then my only resources were magazines and the video rental/computer shop owner that loved answering all of my questions. I’m pretty sure he could’ve sold his ponytail to Exxon for a hefty sum, but he still smelled better than the internet does now. Lol
