What the fuck are "programmer's socks" and why are are tech communities so degenerate? - Alternatively: why is every other programmer a tranny for some reason?

[std::string]

As for Java... as you point out, there are hundreds of millions of pajeets shitting out Java code. The troons are well and truly outnumbered there

Java's also way too fucking boring for them. Troons like to chase novelty. Remember the weird Erlang resurgence? Yeah they got bored of that and moved on.

That's why I'm somewhat skeptical of Rust's future.

Also Java and .NET are pretty free of troons, so if you can't stand interacting with COBOL without wanting to blow your brains out, there's back-up plans. PHP is probably mostly fine too but I don't interact much with that community.

I wish that was the case. The C# discord has been using a PRIDE flag logo for years and most of the mods are lgbT.

I wish June was more scorching. If we're going to have "Pride Month", it might as well be their yearly free trial of what the afterlife will be like.

Discord is for LGBT/pedophiles. If you are in a discord 'server' it is LGBT by default, it is not a 'community', it is a gang of child molesters. A Discord 'server' for 68k assembly language is 68k+pedo. A Discord 'server' for discussing growing orchids is Orchidaceae+pedo.

I don't know either, but it needs to stop. Even Lisp is being taken over. It used to be a few kind greybeards on some mailing lists, now the troons are taking over and making it a fucking joke.

Man, they really have infiltrated everything if they are going after Lisp.

In the good old days, yes, you wore conductive socks and conductive shoes so you were grounded to the floor and didn't statically damage the equipment you were working on. Obviously there are other options for anti-static depending on what you are working on.

Of course now it's some tranny shit with knee-high socks that have nothing to do with programming.

I'm surprised anyone else knows about that bit of computer history. That hasn't been applicable in what, 50 years, at least, literally? That goes all the way back to the days when Big Iron was king and any system worth owning came from a 3 letter company.

IRL these people really aren't that common, most programmers are total normies. It's kind of a retarded meme, though some guys (not troons) look cute with the socks on.

Try using IRC for getting help instead. Networks like Libera are run by retarded trannies but they're 10x easier to ignore since there are no avatars, embedded images or tranny flag nicks.

Way gonna say this, how can you tell someone is a tranny if they don't have an avatar, images, or in many cases even emoji? You can't. You tend to get smarter people on IRC anyway, the zoomers absolutely can't stand using it.

Good luck avoiding furries though, regardless of medium. We're everywhere

 

[Polarity]

Yeah, troons naturally gravitate to janny roles. The only reason you should ever need a C# discord is to ask beginner questions. Ignore the rest of the shit, ask your question, then close the tab.

And (correct me if I'm outdated on this kiwis), C# is an amazing beginner language to learn with a ton of great resources and many, many jobs available. Almost every mid sized company in your town will need C# programmers for business logic apps and many are willing to train if you put in a little effort learning and showing promise. They can't pay as well as bigger software firms but absolutely need people.

If your alternative is NEETdom or working retail it's a wonderful path. Ignore the troon shit. They almost exclusively hire each other and aren't going to be working in mid-tier mom and pop businesses. Keep in mind this career path gets harder and harder to start on every year as the government continues to dismantle society by flooding it with unlimited pajeets, but the future is still bright for learning how to make computers do stuff.

Because they'll fucking tell you, even on IRC

 

[Whatevermancer]

Where do you find people like these? I've worked in the industry for years now and all of my colleagues have been 20-50 year old normies who have girlfriends/wives and children.
Must be an american thing.

In every niche community on the internet, it's likely 90% of the time to see trannies. Let's give an example to the lost media community, a quarter or half of its community are troons. When I joined the lost media community in 2016-17, many of the users were normal kids and teens who minded their business, I guess that someone older got into their hands and make them vulnerable to be groomed. In the year of 2020, I've seen drastically changes in these communities with too many troons coming like mushrooms after the rain. Discord and it's shenanigans.

It was a concept in 4chan "battle station" threads on /g/ where you would post images of your computer. It was mostly a place for people to show off what their computer setup is like.
Sometime along the timeline of these threads someone started posting pictures of themselves in front of their setup with their legs propped up on the desk wearing "programmer socks".
And then I guess a meme was born and it continued from there.

Armwarmers and stockings has been a thing for faggots way before being a techbro was the norm. It was "feminine wear" (that no woman has ever worn) and an easy gateway into trap and femboy shit. Today however, femboy means "shemale with an onlyfans on HRT" so the socks have taken a new niche home in programming. The entry level feminine wear for faggots these days is full-on chastity, skirt, fishnet and dildo videos. I don't recall last I saw a typical UwU soft homo; it's all 'bratty' and toxic behavior.

I miss the simple days of girly homos.

Depends where you look. Mailing lists and IRC are sane, but discord and GH is full of the "my pronouns are..." faggots.
I work for a company where the majority of developers are millennials (and boomers) who have two corvettes and a boat - i.e. normies (we use C++ and Java a lot)
