Real Programmer
(From the book "Real Men Don't Eat Quiche") A
variety of hacker possessed of a flippant attitude toward
complexity that is arrogant even when justified by experience.
The archetypal "Real Programmer" likes to program on the {bare
metal} and is very good at it, remembers the binary op codes
for every machine he has ever programmed, thinks that
high-level languages are sissy, and uses a debugger to
edit his code because full-screen editors are for wimps. Real
Programmers aren't satisfied with code that hasn't been
bummed into a state of tenseness just short of rupture.
Real Programmers never use comments or write
documentation: "If it was hard to write", says the Real
Programmer, "it should be hard to understand." Real
Programmers can make machines do things that were never in
their spec sheets; in fact, they are seldom really happy
unless doing so. A Real Programmer's code can awe with its
fiendish brilliance, even as its crockishness appals.
Real Programmers live on junk food and coffee, hang
line-printer art on their walls, and terrify the crap out of
other programmers - because someday, somebody else might have
to try to understand their code in order to change it. Their
successors generally consider it a Good Thing that there
aren't many Real Programmers around any more.
For a famous (and somewhat more positive) portrait of a Real
Programmer, see "The Story of Mel". The term itself was
popularised by a 1983 Datamation article "{Real Programmers
Don't Use Pascal}" by Ed Post, still circulating on Usenet
and Internet in on-line form.
