Hello. I’ve written a code generating backend for GCC in C. Is this sufficient for me to order my programming socks, or do I need some other proof of accomplishment? |
|
Fixed. Thanks. |
|
No. I was told that I needed at least two small projects implemented in Haskell, OCaml, Clojure, Racket, Scheme, or Rust that use blockchain, encryption, machine learning, or procedural generation, and that involve cat pictures, CAPTCHAs, upsampling anime cels, retrogames, or automated social media posting. It sounds like gatekeeping, but rules are rules I guess. |
|
I think they want to make sure no fake programmer boys are doing it for the attention and memes, so I can respect that. |
|
Can you imagine the collection of programmer socks Ulrich Drepper has? |
|
I’ve accepted I’ll never qualify for the programmer socks, so I’ve given up on them. |
|
Nah |
|
Ordered the socks. |
