Have you seen the last season of the sopranos where the fat guy goes into an antique store, and he is told that he is a "natural" (w.r.t. appreciating art). So it's OK to stereotyp…

... Do you find it too far-fetched to think of wanting to kiss a fireman as a girlish quality?

But you are not skeptical about correlations between programming talent and gender, are you?

So you are not a WASP. Case closed.

> I'm a straight white male I find it interesting that you decided to mention your race.

I agree actually. Gays are as intelligent as straights, on average. So are women. But I think it takes a real man to implement a complicated app.

Gay people are better at marketing than at programming. News at 11.

You're right about Turing. He was the gay one, not von Neumann. I can't help but wonder however, how come you know so much about homosexuality amongst coders? Is it perhaps because…

My sample is 3-4 : bad. 0.8 (suspected gay) : good. That's not counting Von Neumann. This isn't statistically significant. That's why I'm asking about others' opinions. Why is ever…

The people who work there aren't very good programmers though. Fame is almost random, much like the tornadoes caused by butterflies.

Good point. I'll try to explore how trolling can be converted into cash flow more closely. Thanks.

It makes sense, actually. If you do programming full-time, your brain is too tired to think about how to best market your product, etc. When I program too much for too long, I feel…

Gay people can't program. News at 11.

The change seems to correlate with the time the Beatles came out of the closes. I'm not surprised.

Excellent: a combination of C's syntax and extensibility with Common Lisp's speed. That's what I've been waiting for!

It's a very politically incorrect topic, but I wanted to know what others' opinion was. Many people agreed on proggit and here that there is such a thing as "programming like a gir…

The more you drink, the more you'll need to drink. It's an endless cycle, until you are dropping more on Starbuckses than on your rent, your teeth are brown, and your kidneys are s…

I think there is value in the idea itself. If I just give it away for free, whoever implements it has no incentive to share the profits with me. If I share the idea, I make no mone…

It's not as so much anti-troll as it is pro-money :-)

I just had an idea for how to turn the trolling phenomenon into potentially very lucrative profits for a startup. Anybody interested? On the one hand, I don't want to give away my …
