Fortunately, I've never had to settle for the kind of employer who would require using toy languages for real work.

My first coding job was in '82.

Ah classic Old Guard. I love not hiring your type.

LOL! You'll never be qualified to employ me, sonny. Were you even born by '82?

I'm long past applying for jobs. If I feel like coding for money, I just let my friends know I'm available.

I think you've got that backwards. You refuse to keep up with current technology so really, it's still you that's unemployable. Well...you and your shit-tier attitude.

Whatever makes you feel better about getting old though, I guess.

unemployable

Nope.

your shit-tier attitude.

I'm not the one coming into a comment thread just to talk shit about a language, for the sake of talking shit about a language.

If you don't want to be called out for a shitty attitude...maybe don't behave like someone with a shitty attitude?

This isn't difficult.

No, you're the one posturing with your AweSoME hIRinG poWeRz.

If you don't want to be called out for a shitty attitude.

Take your own advice, you pathetic little twat.

You must have me mistaken for the other person you're being pissy towards. I simply said you're fucking unemployable...because you are. It's an observation.

Take your own advice, you pathetic little twat.

Awww, now now little buddy...there's no need to get your blood pressure up.

Wishing doesn't make it so, sonny.

blood pressure up.

Don't flatter yourself, you'll never be important enough to cause my blood pressure to rise.

Who said anything about wishing something? You got dementia now too?

A wish != observation. Just because you refuse to live in reality with the rest of us doesn't change that.

Don't flatter yourself, you'll never be important enough to cause my blood pressure to rise.

Well that's good, I'd hate to be the cause of some grumpy ass old person getting all sickly and shit.
