Soydev
Sodevs are incompetent wanna-be programmers that usually have these characteristics:
- Being pseudoleftist (fascist) political activists pushing tranny software and COCs while actually being mainstream centrists in the tech world (advocating "open-source" instead of free_software, being okay with proprietary software, bloat etc.).
- Trying to be "cool", having friends and even spouses and kids, wearing T-shirts with "coding jokes", having tattoos, piercing and colored hair (also trimmed bear in case of males), having that ugly snowflake (i.e. bizarre) kind of look to catch attention, signaling virtues on social networks.
- Only being hired in tech for a no-brainer job such as "coding websites" or because of diversity quotas.
- Being actually bad at programming, using meme high-level languages like JavaScript, Python or Rust. { I shit you not, I learned from a friend who lives in India that "universities" there produce "security experts" who don't even have to know any programming and math. They just learn some sysadmin stuff and installing antiviruses, without having any clue about how encryption works etc. These people get regular degrees. Really makes me wanna kys myself. ~drummyfish }
- Using a Mac.
- Thinking they're experts in technology because they are familiar with the existence of Linux (usually some mainstream distro such as Ubuntu) and can type
cdandlsin the terminal. - Having only shallow awareness of tech culture, telling big-bang-theory HTML jokes (sudo make sandwich, 42 hahahahahahaha).
- Being highly active on social networks, probably having a pixel-art portrait of their ugly face and "personal pronouns" on their profile.
- Believing in and engaging in capitalism, believing corporations such as Microsoft, wanting to create "startups", being obsessed with productivity, inspirational quotes and masturbating to tech "visionaries" like Steve Jobs. The "rebels" among these are advocating FOSS, however they always promote huge bloat and de-facto capitalist software which is no different from proprietary software.
- Using buzzwords like "solution", "orchestration" etc.
- ...
Here is a quick rough comparison of seydevs and actual good programmers (nowadays mostly an extinct species):
| characteristic | good programmer | soydev |
|---|---|---|
| math skills | deep knowledge of math | "I don't need it", "there's library for that", memorized math interview questions |
| computer knowledge | all-level, big-picture knowledge of principles | knowledge of trivia ("This checkbox in this framework has to be unchecked.", ...) |
| specialization | generalist | hyperspecialized, knows one language/framework |
| prog. languages | C, assembly, FORTRAN, Forth, comun, lisp, ... | Python, JavaScript, Rust, Java, C#, C++2045, ... |
