Little Fortran walks into the living room.
“Mom, dad. I have something important I need to tell you, but I’m scared you’ll be mad at me”
“We’ll still love you no matter what honey.”
“OK, I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I need to come out and say it. Mom and dad, I’m a frontend developer”
“WHAT we will not tolerate that sort of degeneracy in this house young man! Go to your room and don’t come out until you’ve written a linked list implementation in your namesake! And no more talk of this front end stuff”
But imagine how awesome it would be if you hire a Fortran guy, and he’s literally Fortran.
He can also be the hacker known as Fortran.
fucking golf clap
“I was born for this!”
Nominative determinism.
I was born INTO THIS
The heart is blackened.
Reminds me of that firefighter named Les Mcburney.
And his sister, the famous arsonist Anita Mcburney.
I’ve actually met him. Pretty chill guy, but is completely confused by his Internet fame.
My parents called me Basic.
JavaScript was actually invented in 1845 by John JavaScript
So thankful for John JavaScript who came up with the JavaScript language back in 1845!

Imagine a cabal of COBOL programmers called Cobol or Co Ball

You know what, if I have a boy one day, I’ll name him Pascal. Hopefully, he won’t develop a lisp

Ash comes from a busybox… sh…
I’m naming my kid machine code.
You’ll never allow him to leave the sandbox?
He’ll have to handle the hardware for his parents, they’re treating him firmly
Maybe it’s time to go to the court house and change their name to Lua?
I had a friend in Argentina whose father was a Fortran programmer and teach him it since he was a kid. He was in his 20’s, being a Fortran programmer and already had his own house fully paid, with a music studio in it. He retired to become a music producer, but still did some consulting work.
Good luck little Fortran, hope you can learn and enjoy your work.
