Bad Coders

The primary problem I have with the programming community is that most of you are bad at it.  I've come to realize that the vast majority of programmers are relative idiots.  Just like in life there are the alphas of the programming world.  The top 1% of programmers like me can code circles around the other 99%.  Language and tools don't even matter.  I could use C, Java, Lisp, python, perl, php you name it and still write better code with a tiny fraction of the effort it would take you to write the same thing.

I know what your thinking now.  Having the supreme arrogance of a typical code-monkey, how am I so certain of this?  Simply by coding amongst the unwashed.  In my large public college there were maybe 3 other programmers that I considered decent.

Now I'm doing an internship at a software company where the average salary for full time is 90-100k.  I'm amongst programmers from MIT, CMU and other schools that I once considered elite.  My intern project that was supposed to be work for the summer was a joke to me. It took a couple weeks and 90% of that was dealing with bureaucracy.  The 'elite' CS schools are nothing but a farce, the majority of their programmers are mediocre at best.

I now realize that I can take a programming job, do an hour of work a day, surf the internet for a bit, then take 100K to the bank every year.

It doesn't matter how many times you read SICP, you guys will always be will always be scrubs.  Here is a parting FUCK YOU to all you so called coders out there.  The best of you code about as well as I did when I popped my cherry on TI-BASIC.
