Typing A Paper For Class And One Of My Subheadings Reads, ”What’s The Point Of Working?” And I

Psh prolog more like amatuerlog

C is a shot of American Rye (100 proof, bottled-in-bond)

Python is a Ramos Gin Fizz

Javascript is a bone-dry, dirty, vodka martini

React a Cosmopolitan

Angular an Appletini

Express an Espressotini (yea I say that instead of “espresso martini” because I find it more fun this way)

C# is a Sazerac with equal parts cognac and whiskey, and the person making it will HAVE to tell you how “a lot of people say it’s the first cocktail, but that’s not really true”

if i were a drink i’d be cherry vanilla coke

Django actually has a built-in tag specifically for generating the latin gibberish used in samples. They already solved every real problem for developers, so they proceeded to solve problems you didn’t even know you wanted solved. 

Black People in Programming/Computer Science

This is BY NO MEANS an exhaustive list. In fact, there are MANY, MANY, MORE. I’m just trying to draw attention to the major contributions black people have made to the Computer Science / Programming community. 

BLACK LIVES MATTER.

- Lindsay Grace : Designing games with social impacts.

- Marsha Williams : First black woman to earn a PhD in Computer Science. She also lead many initiatives to increase black representation in STEM careers.

- Clennita Justice, Aggrey Jacobs, and Travis McPhail : Employees at Google improving Google Play Books and Google Maps.

- Katherine Johnson : Her work with NASA was critical in putting humans in space.

- Clarence Ellis : First black man to get a PhD in Computer Science. He pioneered Operational Transformation, early group collaboration software for plaintext documents.

- Dorothy Vaughan : Paved the way for African American females at NASA and in programming in general. TAUGHT HERSELF FORTRAN. BEFORE THE INTERNET WAS INVENTED. Imagine trying to learn a low-level programming language WITHOUT Stackoverflow or even ctrl + f. 

Does anyone read programming books? Like actually?

Keeping them on a shelf having skimmed the table of contents doesn’t count.

LEDs are a critical component for any workflow

I like Cilk++. It’s so nice to just be like “Hey I want this for loop to have some parallelism” then only have to replace the “for” with “cilk_for”. 

Upon actually working with excel, I’m done being pretentious about how it’s not programming. Tremendous respect goes to anyone who can do things with excel. 

Hi Tumblr, I’m back. I hope you’ve all been well.

Looking at you, C++

I won't ever take you back.

And yet it hurts that you don't even want me to.
