On: Programming is Terrible

[Permit]

I wonder if the author is simply trolling with the first post. He says:

"This myth has many forms, with many attempts to explain the magic power away in terms of some physical characteristics–

1. Programmers who have a penis are good

2. Programmers who do not have a penis are bad

If you believe in this in any way, it is highly likely that you are not only a terrible programmer, you are a terrible person too."

Then on his Twitter he proudly displays in all capitals "Ｉ　ＡＭ　Ａ　ＴＥＲＲＩＢＬＥ　ＰＥＲＳＯＮ"

There's an undercurrent of gallows humor you're missing. Recognizing and being mindful of your shortcomings is wisdom.
