Comment on: Report: 80's kids started programming at an earlier age than today's millennials

Once upon a time, people would get their own water from a well and make their own food using their own animals as a resource.

The claim wasn't, that they don't have infinite potential, the claim was, no awesome cool new thing came around when they were kids. Now I know our opinions may differ on this, but a raspberry pi was/is neither awesome, nor cool, nor particular new as a concept. It's not the bleeding edge of technology, so who cares?

The music video True Survivor is better, though. It comes with music.

Comment on: Some day we won't even need coders anymore

How do you find the part you want if there's an unknown possibility of ways to implement the feature you are looking for? Do you just scroll through millions of lines (actually, given your method, make that billion of lines)?

This doesn't change my point about having to rewrite your entire application if you want to make some changes, though. Also, you seem to think the hard part about writing code is the language you use to write it? Designing your program in a way that makes it easy - for someone else - to change later is the hard part. Everyone can hack together something that works, maintaining the code base long term is difficult. Just look at all those banks getting retired people back to work at a premium, because no one else can wrap their heads around the COBOL systems they've created.

What would happen if you type "If activated, show movie:(film location from databank)" instead? I've changed every word you used, but said the same. If your answer is "the same", then it might be easy to remember, but it will compel you to rewrite everything if you should ever want to make any change whatsoever.

..and they'll all code in Malbolge, just to spite us.

When you're at the point where you can say "Make a program that earns me money", why even have some random idiot who knows English?

Comment on: Programmers are confessing their coding sins to protest a broken job interview process

Well, this escalated quickly into a diversification scam.

Comment on: How many of you can still read your own code you created years ago?

I can read it alright. Understanding it is the tricky part. Depending on the language it ranges from "Alright, now I know what this code does." to ... less pleasant assessments.
