Who's the best programmer on this forum?

james2010

Please explain why you think you're the best programmer, what programming languages you know, and provide some proof that you truly are the BEST!!!

-> 😃 this should be interesting

Bunkermaster

erm not me. I am one hell of a software quality expert but it makes me a realistic programmer. Nothing is perfect, perfection is like true love, you look for it all your life and when you get older you don't care anymore (tbh I found tue love but it's out of the range of this topic)

james2010

the way I see it, the only way to truly be a pro at programming would involve years of intense mathematical studies, and maybe a year or two of actually programming.

TREKKIE! Run everybody!!

Wonder how many people are going to claim to be the best. Maybe we should put together a contest. I've been wanting to run one involving Ming.

IWS

I have always been interested in mathematics, and have always been in the top 0.0005% in competition. I placed 800 on Sat I, 800 Sat II Math IIC, 36 on ACT, perfect scores all around. I know over 20 programming languages. I know over 20 operating systems. Assembly is my favorite language genre. I received a full tuition scholarship to the local University for computer science, where I was a member of the team that lead the United States into international programming competition. And I'm a nice guy.

math sucks :mad: lol

I went to lazy8solutions and got nothing.

I went to IWS.com and got

all of your credentials have made you one fancy janitor...
err hygenic engineer

I vote myself for the worst!!!

Reason: The more deep I get in the ocean, the darker it becomes. First the knowledge increases exponentially, then the rate starts falling down as the light decreases. The one who can get to the bottom of Marina Trench will be the best.
In my opinion that day will never come for any programmer, the more one learns, even more remains to be learnt and explored.

I hope you folks have heard of this:
A bird about to be born, sees the eggshell, and think this is the size of the world. When the egg hatches, she thinks her nest is the size of the world. When wings develop and she starts to fly for short distances, she things this should be the size of the world. But when she matures, she realizes the the world is very big.

Hence, in my opinion, its not about the best programmer on the forum, we should start for the worst one!
Ones who still feel the need for this one are simply 'kids'.

Any competitors against me for the worst programmer of the forum 😉

<Self Edit>
1) I forgot to mention then when one is going deep in Marina Trench, one is not taking any external light sources/help.
2) I will like to mention that I do not intend to hurt anyone's feeelings with all I said. If they were hurt, I am sorry!!!

I'M HORRIBLE!

Well jayant I aggree with what you said. I take knowledge like I take judo wrestling (my sport), after having all the balck belt degrees and having mastered all the technics you go back to the white belt because you realize you know nothing (the advanced age at which this happens and alzeimer may explain a lot but...)

...and I think that if someone got his/her feelings hurt it's showing a lack of maturity because whatever you do, whatever you say the beauty of our line of business and what's keeping us sharp until advanced ages is that we always have to learn 🙂

I've been using PHP for more than 3 months now and I still don't even know what PHP stands for 😕 lol 😃

PHP stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor.

Note: Intentionally recursive.

I would not claim to be the best programmer any where, except at my high school.

jeremuck

actually, it's Personal Home Page tools.
You can find the original release archived at google newsgroups.

Where does this hypertext preprocessor thing keep popping up?

Mark

accaully jeremuck, Personal Home Page was the first thing they called it, then they renamed it to HyperText Preprocessor 😉...well, it came to be known as HyperText Preprocessor.

jeremuck

well then that explains why it keeps popping up.

BTW, here's the original release announcment:

cool, my book says php came out in 1994 though 🙁 lol
