When will Jow Forums and by proxy the USA see a programmer as President? We've had actors and Admirals, when do we get a based Carmack and have the government running on Gentoo? Would it change much (the pres, not gentoo)?
Programmer as President
Adam Kelly
Michael Brooks
nobody trusts a programmer to make good decisions about life.
Ryder Taylor
programmers are literally failures at life, they don't get to experience any of lifes pleasures. They don't smoke, they don't drink, they don't fuck beautiful women, they lose at fights, they get picked on at work and at home, they get cheated on, they are literally the lowest tier, they are the bottom of the pecking order.
Elijah Brooks
There are people who retired from programming because they preferred being homeless.
Josiah Cruz
Why on earth would you trust the people who fucked everything up to begin with to fix their own mistakes?
Computers destroyed our culture, our families, our communities, our cities, our nations and our states. Electronic record keeping has become a self-perpetuating necessity, automation destroyed all our jobs, our only escape from increasingly inane media is through electronic entertainment, which is so addictive that they started giving it away for free just so they could hook more people on it.
Cyberporn has destroyed our sense of modesty, Pop Culture celebrity has taken over academia, politics is increasingly a futile spectacle sport with no clear winners or objectives.
All this is because of you, the people who created computers. You made false assumptions and followed bad logic to false premises, and now the WHOLE WORLD has to sit and watch you commmit fallacy after fallacy as you increasingly attempt to fix what is not, and has never been, broken.

i can't tell what /g is about now. oh we hate programmers but love repeatedly installing the weird-ass operating systems they slaved over?
kek>There are people who retired from programming because they preferred being homeless.
Doesn't disclude them from running for prez.

It'll be a while.

Fair enough, but I would add "understands the technology that underpins modern society" as a programmer trait that would be good to have in government.
Easton Kelly
Don't blame the toolmakers for how people decide to use their tools, dumbass.
Nicholas Scott
>bottom of the pecking order.
yet richer than you, nigger, they can buy all those things with cash.
Adam Bailey
the average person is a complete idiot.
Most everybody who thinks they are above average is wrong.
I keep thinking I'm not average, ignoring the statistic that says I'm most likely wrong.
Logan Green
Right. It won't be long before they're regularly department heads and cabinet members, but there's really little overlap between their skillset and those of the figurehead in chief. It's quite likely we'll never have one.
Gabriel Reyes
The tools were designed so they could only be used one way! Programmers KNEW causality would lead people to use their programs this way and unleashed them on the world anyway! They deliberately lied to themselves and to others about the promise this technology was going to bring!
It didn't make things better! Look at our society! You didn't save a damn thing!
Asher Fisher
We found something better than all those things.
Landon Walker
You can't buy a backbone.
Adam Sanchez
Don't tell me you actually believe that? Your smoking too much of that virtual reality crack your selling.
Aiden Hernandez
what does this make me?
Average!
It makes me average.
You take evidence of something as proof of its opposite.
John Rivera
never coded in Rust have you bucko
heh
Hudson Gomez
I never have and I never will.
I will never need that skill and neither will you.
Isaac Ortiz
>unlike me, I have a backbone and I blow my time and money on whores drinks and gambling

Angel Morris
Hey Ted, I've been to your shack in the museum.
Charles Miller
Futurists always bash on neo-primitives for doing things the hard way but then they go around doing the exact same thing, trying to future proof every technology by learning every language and every operating system and every little thing since the dawn of the electric transistor.
Robert Reyes
It's all about the heart.
Wyatt Bailey
At least when I die I'll know I fucking lived. You'll be wheezing on your deathbed begging for another chance to do all the things you were too scared to do.
Robert Reyes
People don't want a programmer. They want a normal person who understands programming.
Tyler Baker
Of course, you and I know that person DOESNT FUCKING EXIST.
But you can fake it. Like Nintendo back when they made the president of the company white.
Benjamin Collins
>being able to elect your leader
Sad!
Here in the Netherlands we don't get to pick our King or Prime Minister. So you can be sure never to get a dweeb with no social skills in charge. You just get a puppet diplomat who executes policies made by the central planning agency, with some random ideological bullshit for the public in between. In fact, it's just like having an elected programmer president.
Noah Wright
See! See? Thats what I mean! We fell for that internationalist propaganda HARD when we were kids!
>Netherlands!
>Its the happiest place on earth!
>According to whom?
>Why according to the Netherlands census bureau of course!
Joseph Collins
I understand that user.
Not the guy you were talking too but, I wanted you to know I understand this.
Jaxson Hall
>I did ooga booga
>I lived!
Julian Green
I have a friend who is a champagne socialist, a teacher, he thinks he should be running the world. The guy is an idiot! He can barely keep his shoelaces tied!
Joseph Gomez
What they want in a programmer is an IDIOT, a person they can wantonly manipulate into doing all their work for them.
I only survived cause I got lazy! I was too fed up with their bullshit and decided I'd rather make it on my early pension!
Isaiah Diaz
When they look at you, they see a SAP. A complete boob who will sit there all day, grinding away at the most tedious, boring job all day for half their pay and won't say a word about it!
Kevin Brooks
Reminds me of Metal Gear Solid 2. If you control the public charts, then you decide what's popular or not. Or in this case, what's true or not.
Sure, you all love Lady Gaga. This chart says so.
Nicholas White
Programming isn't a job.
It isn't an industry.
Its a god damn mental illness.
Bentley Lee
Jow Forums loves Lady Gaga. It's true.
Logan Kelly
based and kazinskipilled.
what we need is a president with a reckless disregard for himself and others, contempt for modern society, and just maybe capable of destroying it by starting a nuclear war.
oh, wait...
Ayden Edwards
Google also decides which companies make it or not.
Sebastian Ward
Of course it's true.
William Flores
I know plenty of programmers with faithful wives, who also smoke, drink heavily and are well respected in their community and by their co-workers. I would be surprised if there are many programmers out there that don't drink, especially in this day and age.
David Gomez
>cyberporn destroyed our sense of modest
Nah it totally wasn't the world wars and mass raping that has been going on for several centuries, to say nothing of the dark ages.
Nicholas Walker
>half their pay
>make $80/hr
>all of my friends who went into politics, psych or got trades can barely pull $40
Jason Sanchez
what does programming have to do with drinking
Blake Mitchell
Singapore has a C++ programmer in charge. He also graduated first in his class in maths (Senior Wrangler) at Trinity College, Cambridge, too.
