    Nope, JS is “You think you are nerd”.

    Also, why React is there? It’s a lib not a language

      Come on y’all, would you lay off the gatekeeping. Some of us still think the free web’s a good thing, lest we all end up in a walled garden hellscape. JavaScript is therefore needed if we’re being pragmatic. Just transpile it from TypeScript if you’re too stuck up for dynamic languages building something big.

        Thankfully I suck at that, but holy crap it is prevelent in this industry. The alcohol abuse is cray. Doesn’t help when you travel constantly. I don’t travel much anymore, but the people who spend 90+% of the year in the field, while having a family, are fundamentally broken. Fun to party once in a while, but when they do this shit multiple times a week, I don’t understand.

          Couldn’t agree more. Field service is one hell of a drug. Money’s good, variety is fun, the chaos and travel are fun too, and you learn a lot quickly. The latter often because some or all of the mfg. plant you’re visiting needs you to fix your stuff so they can run, and no one is coming to BFE to help you, lol.

          But that all wears off, in time, and it starts to take a huge toll like you described. Never met a long term field service engineer with a healthy home life, or with their health in general. I got out because both of mine were crumbling, for real.

    No Haskell so I’m not a nerd 😎. Though from the languages I use the most (Java & Python) and other languages I enjoy (Rust, Julia) I can infer that I’m probably a bit of a nerd.

    I am in fact an engineer and a nerd. Or as many of us like to call it, an enginerd

    Edit: I wouldn’t call Matlab my favorite though… But yes I use it. I mean, I’m on Lemmy… Like loads of users here, I like FOSS. So I’d say python is probably my favorite

    A real nerd would know that React is a library and HTML is a markup language, and neither are programming languages.

    Most of these are scripting languages. Some are even markup languages. It’s like the meme creator didn’t even know what a programming language was.
    I hope someone got fired for that blunder

    I use R for all sorts of bioinformatics shenanigens, and I remind myself daily I am not a nerd. Even my rows of warhammer books, minis and Corvus Corax poster confirm to me I am not a nerd… The Emperor Protects…my code
