Good programmers should be sacked!

[bogeyman]

Maybe, but instead of talking to random misfits and getting depressed, I could be chatting to my colleagues. I'm not sure which is worse.

Thankfully I have no colleagues. One man band now. It's brilliant!

As Sartre would have it "L'enfer, c'est les autres". Too bloody right!

If good communications skills are so important, how come outsourcing to India is so popular.

Big business just wants coding machines - cheap ones at that. They don't really give a toss about your 'soft skills' how much of a 'team player' you are. They have to make these noises to keep the in HR drones buzzing happily.

And there you've hit the nail on the head, BM. Outsourcing is popular because it is cheaper and flavour of the month, not because they are better programmers. Most of the outsourced programmers I've worked with are technically very good, but wouldn't be able to tell their arse from their elbow if it wasn't specifically documented for them.

I predict that it will only be a couple of years, when the cost of living in India increases, that Big Business will finally realise that it costs more to support the outsourcing than to actually employ/contract a good allrounder to start with.

Let's face it, most people on here are social missfits, hence all the pent up anger. If we start getting programmers with social skills this site is dead, dead I tell ye!

I am not a social misfit - I am a fu*king coding God. I regularly implement design patterns in machine code for optimal execution speed. I can write assembler in hex. I can read and modify Oracle temporary tables. I code C on a byte per byte basis. I regularly rewrite compilers, and invent new languages.

I am a fu*king genius. I am better, brighter, faster than all you monkeys. So worship me, King Jabber, you miserable sh*ts.

I once knew someone who rewrote some of the code for a WP package his company bought, in order to 'optimise' it. It was OK until the next release came in. I never saw him again.

King Jabber, here's a definition :-

Noun 1. jabber - rapid and indistinct speech, gabble, jabbering, gibber, gibberish - unintelligible talking

Did you manage to get through the first chapter of the book below, I know you were struggling with it.

Makes me wonder who buys those 'for Dummies' books.

I mean. What does it say about you? Whoaaaaa! Look at me! I'm a DUMMIE! I don't know tulipe from Shinola!

And I really don't think dummies should be let anywhere near C.
