* A 43 year old guy who claims to have been programming before the compiler, when compilers actually came out in 1957.

* A guy who can't even defend his ideas and gets defensive when his lack of education is called out and resorts to ad hominem attacks.

* A guy who has no clue about what happens in a good CS program disses the program and tries to defend his poorly researched knowledge with attacks on the person.

* A 43 year old who apparently kills billion dollar deals writing LOL on the internet and spending time looking at the user history.

I have never met a bigger jackass than you. I just started out in the industry but I am more mature, honest and I can guarantee to be a better programmer and a person than you are.

Fucking illiterate, old blow-hard.

Yeah, you're mature. right.

I suspect that you weren't in the "senior developer" group with your employer, and you're bitter about only making $8.75 an hour writing crappy code.

I never said I programmed before the first compiler, I said I wrote assembly before compilers were available. The first compiler was written in 1952, not '57, but if you had any study skills, you'd have simply googled that.

It's double digit IQ pinheads like you that make this and other sites like it a colossal waste of time.

Consider yourself ignored.

It's interesting to see you evade all questions and get to a personal attack.

This is my first job after graduation and I am sure I am earning more than you did after at least 15 years in the industry.

I know the history of compilers you fucktard. I didn't expect you to program using Grace Hopper's compiler so I gave you Fortran to play with instead. COMPILERS WERE AVAILABLE BEFORE YOU BORN YOU ILLITERATE.

Why don't you pick up a programming book, any programming book. A real one. Not a J2EE one. Pick up let's say Wand et al's "Essentials of Programming Language" and try to solve f the problems. If you can solve them, come back and talk to me. Then you tell me the value of concentrated, mentored, rigorous learning.
