How many years of C experience do I need before I can order programmer socks?

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.

do you have the socks

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.

damn that’s quite steep

I think they want to make sure no fake programmer boys are doing it for the attention and memes, so I can respect that.

just use a couple apis and make a front end

how many patches have you submitted to glibc? need at least 15 ~accepted~ last i checked with the guild

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.

u deserve them MasterOfMagic if anybody does it’s u

Nah

believe in me who believes in your socks

Ordered the socks.

hell yeah
