This is pretty much nonsense lol

[–] ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social 2 points 6 days ago

It makes sense once you accrue 1000 hours on /g/ (10 years ago, it's a much dumber place now)

Where's the drunken conglomeration that is Scala?

Btw. It's my favorite language

[–] jenesaisquoi@feddit.org 3 points 6 days ago

People with the skill level necessary to create such memes don't know what Scala is

We should reimplement it in Rust

Javascript being disruptive technology is.. A take for sure.

It always disrupted everything, and is getting only better on that with time.

How the fuck is C++ more traditional than C?

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 46 points 1 week ago (1 children)

To me it looks like to position within each of quadrant want taken into account.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 34 points 1 week ago

It really seems like the creator didn't bother with spacing at all. Something that did consider spacing within quadrants wouldn't have its items this closely packed together.

[–] aaaaaaaaargh@feddit.org 22 points 1 week ago

I think it's not meant to be more traditional, the icon positions seem random and only the square they're located is important.

This is a very confusing image

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 50 points 1 week ago (11 children)

Ok, now ... where does TempleOS and HolyC belong on this chart?

[–] julien@programming.dev 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

It needs a Z axis for hobby vs enterprise.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

There we go, there, that actually makes sense to me, thank you!

I want to know what a corpo hobbyist traditionalist language is though, lol.

Like uh... I make vba / excel macros in my spare time for fun, lol?

[–] julien@programming.dev 2 points 4 days ago

That's where retrocomputing comes into play I guess, Haha!

Those people running Windows 2000 or XP on old computers or VMs and making old-school dotnet web forms apps for it.

I can imagine myself doing this one day, just for nostalgia. 😄

[–] jwt@programming.dev 62 points 1 week ago (1 children)

*Sigh*. Fine, let's introduce a z-axis specifically for Terry A. Davis.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 week ago

So what you're saying is that... he is either from, belongs to, or should be placed on...

... another plane of existence?

lololololollool

Nah, vibe coders are definitionally reliant on highy disruptive, literally economy destabilizing 'AIs', that are made by the most gigantic of megacorps and foundations.

That would make them so far into soydev they are off the chart to the bottom right, and it would also mean you'd be grilling Impossible Burgers.

Cowards are too afraid to place vi anywhere on these axes...

[–] 3x3@lemy.lol 15 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Looking at how much of a reach some of the disruptive + proprietary stuff is... Yeah, there isn't a lot of recent innovative proprietary stuff, is there?

Although I would put Chrome under "disruptive". It absolutely was when it released decades ago, and even now it's still changing the browser landscape.

Uh, Linus Torvalds is a hypedev?

Btw, is this meme old?

[–] artiman@piefed.social 20 points 1 week ago (5 children)

What is the software between Linus and rust? Never seen that icon before

[–] inbeesee@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Zoologist, it's a person that studies animals for a living. Hope this helps

I started using git to track my dotfiles maybe one-ish years after I first fully adopted Linux as my daily driver.. I think it's been a little over 5 years and before I converted to nix that git history told a story of immense frustration of never being able to get my desktop and laptop to be identical. For some reason some projects only ran on one of the 2 machines. There was a period in my life when I didn't use my desktop for 2 months because it just didn't work well enough, OCD is really fucking painful. Nix saved my relationship with both of my computers, and my desk, and my spine. I haven't used my laptop and maybe a month and I may have changed my workstation a couple hundred times in this period, I will with absolute confidence say that the next time I decide to use my laptop I can just run git pull and nixos rebuild and my laptop will be just the same as my desktop (minus obligatory build fixes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
