When You Have API Credits To Burn

Content php sucks lol avascript is bad and bloated python isn't real programming being aware that every programming language has its niche due to historical and usability reasons and hating on them makes no sense man, fuck MATLAB ProdrammerHumor.io

Content WHEN THEY TELL YOU THAT A RECURSIVE ALGORITHM HAS A CONSTANT SPACE COMPLEXITY

Content Mr John Robertson thedarkroom O Robbatron This is my favourite gaming fact. In Fallout 3, the game couldn't support a train for the player to ride in, but it could make PCs walk - so the devs made the train a hat. This guy wanders around beneath the ground, wearing his Train Hat, just being public transport. Posted in rDamnthatsinteresting reddit

The elegant waitstaff vs. the ragtag pirates perfectly captures the data access divide. APIs are like fancy servers bringing you data on a silver platter with proper documentation and rate limits. Meanwhile, web scrapers are the digital pirates who'll rip the data straight from the HTML's cold, dead hands when no API exists. After 15 years in the trenches, I've written both. The API is what you show the client. The scraper is what you build at 2 AM when the client's competitor suddenly becomes "very interesting" to them.

Java sitting at 174 points like it's collecting war crimes. SQL and PHP are basically tied for "I'm not proud of what I've done" at 58 and 52 respectively. Python's surprisingly low at 12—guess people are too busy writing one-liners to feel ashamed. But the real plot twist? JavaScript only has 6 shame points. Either JS developers have achieved enlightenment and transcended shame, or they've been doing it wrong for so long that they've simply forgotten what good code looks like. My money's on the latter. Fortran and COBOL making the list is chef's kiss—respect to the ancient ones still maintaining that legacy banking system from 1972. MATLAB bringing up the rear with 2 points because the three people still using it are too busy with matrix multiplication to care about shame.
