    Especially because programming is quite fucking literally giving computers instructions, despite what you believe keyboard monkeys do. You wanker!

    What? You think “developers” are some kind on mythical beings that possess the mystical ability of speaking to the machines in cryptic tongues?

    First off, you’re contradicting yourself: Is programming about “giving instructions in cryptic languages”, or not?

    Then, no: Developers are mythical beings who possess the magical ability of turning vague gesturing full of internal contradictions, wishful thinking, up to right-out psychotic nonsense dreamt up by some random coke-head in a suit, into hard specifications suitable to then go into algorithm selection and finally into code. Typing shit in a cryptic language is the easy part, also, it’s not cryptic, it’s precise.
