Let me tell you some shocking news: Most of the majors in Computer Science and Engineering (in the university I took it, one of the most prestigious in my country) don't know shit about software engineering. They know only how to burp out the same leetcode style programs they were taught and that's it. I'd trust a guy that managed to learn software engineering on it's own through years of FAFO than (most) university majors.

They don't look like the one who is getting overly-emotional here.

[-] doctorcrimson@lemmy.today 2 points 11 months ago

Could have fooled me, I posted a funny and they told me their life's story.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

That was supposed to be funny? Are you sure?

[-] doctorcrimson@lemmy.today 1 points 11 months ago

At least 14 people agreed, I think if the sub weren't filled with "SoFTwArE eNgINEerS" instead of actual Software Engineers then there wouldn't be as many if any at all downvotes.

I'm not sure 'people agree with me' and 'they think I'm funny' mean the same thing.

[-] doctorcrimson@lemmy.today 1 points 11 months ago

So then 13 people upvote a comment that contains nothing except for a long winded joke that they don't think is funny, you have a wonderful mind and I hope you have a fantastic day.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

I apologize. Clearly, you are the world's new George Carlin. I'm just unable to understand a wit like yours. But I am glad that you put that you were being sarcastic in all caps. Jokes are always funnier if you explain that they're jokes, so that's probably why those 13 people thought it was so hilarious.

[-] doctorcrimson@lemmy.today 1 points 11 months ago

It literally says in in the comment in full capital letters at the end /SARCASM

Which denotes the end of the SARCASM of the comment. I'm sorry you missed that. I didn't have to explain that it was a joke, I'm doing that now because I'm nice, I had to banter with you about the objective reality that people laughed with me about it.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Yes, I know, as I said, I'm really glad you put 'SARCASM' in all caps like that at the end so everyone would know it was a joke because that's what makes jokes funny.

In fact, it would have been even funnier if you had started it with "THIS IS A FUNNY THING I WILL TYPE NEXT:"

You should probably edit your post and add that in for maximum humor. Think how many upvotes you would get to brag about then!

[-] doctorcrimson@lemmy.today 1 points 11 months ago

I unfortunately cannot say in any confidence that you're the next Eddie Murphy.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Well that's good, because I certainly haven't said anything funny. I mean, if I did, I would have notified you in all caps.

[-] doctorcrimson@lemmy.today 1 points 11 months ago

In fact, it would have been even funnier if you had started it with “THIS IS A FUNNY THING I WILL TYPE NEXT:”

Lmao you can just ignore statements that you yourself have made, then?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

When you get near a sentence that makes sense, let me know.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 10 points 11 months ago

One of those was you, so 13 actual opinions that matter.

Compared to the 44 that didn't find it funny at all.

[-] doctorcrimson@lemmy.today 1 points 11 months ago

So you admit that it was funny?
