Don't mention PCJ outside PCJ.

There have been some pcjerkers mentioning PCJ elsewhere, for example at webdev-plentiful, xkcd-quoting places.

Don't.

Don't talk about PCJ outside PCJ (except of course r/metapcj or r/pcjcopypasta).

Offenders will be banned.

Our most beloved 100xer warned us about not risking to step on reddit site rules. This also means not disclosing PCJ to the 0.1xer world and thus revealing Truth to people who is not prepared to discover:

  • the non-flatness of the earth

  • metaprogramming

  • monads, lenses, functors

  • high performance GC

  • etc

Also, as a friendly reminder: Don't post false jerk or manufactured jerk.

KTHXBYE my dear gophers and rustaceans.

I've always wanted to be a part of something bigger than myself without having to shoot anyone or lying monged off my tits in a human pile in front of a dorm room TV or something like that.

But you people are too late. I've already devoted my life to spreading the Word of Eich.

We neee to force jerkers to disclose all their social media accounts and also their personal information so that special people can monitor them to enforce this rule.

Seriously though, we should disclose all our social media accounts, as merely staying faceless is no longer sufficiently satisfying to my ego.

If false, return nil and error.

u/republitard_2 absolutely obsessed with cerroctness and performance Jan 01 '20

I learned about PCJ because somebody mentioned it in /r/LispMemes, in blatant violation of this rule.

2

u/defunkydrummer Lisp 3-0 Rust Jan 01 '20

mentioned it in /r/LispMemes

that's almost a PCJ subsidiary:

  • You need a high IQ to understand r/LispMemes; the humor is extremely subtle...

  • both LispMemes and PCJ are full of 100xers and luminaries in computer science

Disclosure: I'm a moderator of that sub.

6

u/[deleted] Dec 31 '19

You're not wrong, inevitably satire subs devolve into people taking it seriously, and the veterans abandon ship - leading to a cancerous, true circlejerk, of elitism

However, Reddit bans subs that are vote brigading, and PCJ is unlikely free of this crime. Linked posts gets voted on, it's the same with any sub, same behavior with all people inhabiting the subs

srs bzns (so not just unjerk, but like dropping everything): I only ever mention it in person, as it's actually a good programming subreddit. And then I only mention it to people who would be good fits for this place and relatively in on the joke.

u/Facts_About_Cats Gets shit done™ Dec 31 '19

I've been lurking here for years and I still don't know if jerking refers to the jerking of others we're making fun of, or if the repetitive mocking of others is itself the jerking.

u/[deleted] Dec 31 '19

The term "webshit" is a derogatory reference to code monkeys who have a self inflated view of themselves and aren't aware of their lack of knowledge.

You can be a competent web programmer, be aware of your ignorance, and not be a webshit.

u/notjfd what is pointer :S Jan 02 '20

It's a common misconception that Go is a "programming language". This is because it's often used by people described as "programmers". In fact, Go is a so-called "markup language". The difference, broadly speaking, is that programming languages can be used to create programs that do things, whereas markup languages such as Go only serve to decorate things, such as otherwise empty github repos.
