Good my colleagues think I am Hackerman that can hack through time!

That image goes so incredibly hard

Kung Fury will never not be amazing

Dude, literally me. Whenever my friends or my brother's friend come to my room, I opened up a few terminals with only one of them is actually for coding and they thoight I could hack someone's Facebook account or something LMAO.

Yes I live in Southeast Asia

I have seen this meme at least 471 times, it's still as funby as the first time.

Samir is mad op, those indian youtubers know everything

[–] Duckef@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What I want to know is who taught the original Indian YouTube tutor. Was he born with the knowledge?

Om Namo Namagiriyai Namah, must be the mantra to be a successful programmer then I guess.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

You have to record it and run it through a Mellin transform first for it to really work. Don't worry, some guy came up with an analytical expression for it based on the polynomial expansion of the input.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 1 year ago

I was going to say. That's a way more terrifying flex than everything else here.

I can really emphasise with Samir. Working in healthcare I’m basically limited to just the Office applications. However in the past few years I’ve been able to cook up solutions by reading / writing to file based databases, and using VBA to generate and bind to HTML contents on the fly for the built in IE11 instance. It’s as close to getting to some kind of web-stack within the confines of IT Sec in healthcare.

[–] CoderKat@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Just a heads up, I think the word you're looking for is empathize.

[–] Marxine@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I identify with Samir, but without all of his vast knowledge.

"Samir.... you're breaking the car!"

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm Samir, I can code kernel drivers in vba

I can but then I have to call IT to start Excel with elevated privileges so I don't

As someone with ADHD I am a mix of hackerman and tharg. Unfortunately the Adderall just makes me barely function and Ive never actually hacked anything

[–] Atiran@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago

I have worked with most of these people at one point or another. I used to sit next to an old architect like walters. He had so many patents the company only recognize him on every 10th one.

Thanks for unlocking my account everytime I forget my password!

[–] argv_minus_one 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

But does anybody ever thank me for never forgetting my password? Noooooo. Grumble grumble.

[–] fugepe@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago

Having participated in CTF competitions this is very accurate.

[–] Dohnakun@lemmy.fmhy.ml 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Only noobs reveal their cards at competitions. 😈

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.one 9 points 1 year ago

Oh, so that's why I can't land a job this year. lol

[–] DerEineDa@feddit.de 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

What is this meme about? "Competition", "Leaderboard", "Waiting for the timer to hit 0:00"? I am so confused.

[–] shebpamm@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Competitive programming.

Usually multiple algorithmic problems that are released to public at the same time and the fastest people to submit a correct solution get more points.

A fun one I still like to participate in is advent of code, which is a yearly christmas themed one with two problems released a day during advent.

If you want to seriously compete in competitive programming, you need to learn and memorize different problem types and the solutions to those. A bit like you start learning patterns in chess.

For practicing, the CSES Problem Set is a gold mine for practice problems. Theres also a list of competitive programming books on the site.

[–] DerEineDa@feddit.de 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

That sounds exhausting. Maybe I am showing my age, but after 15 years as a software developer (now DevOps engineer) I feel absolutely no desire to spend my free time competing against others. Maybe I would've felt different about this back in the days.

That being said, this meme still applies to regular software developers. I know plenty of people who match each of the shown stereotypes.

[–] johnnyjayjay@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

Advent of Code is fun even without seriously competing (which, at least globally or in bigger communities is basically impossible unless you're actually a proper competitive programmer). There's no stakes and you can just do the challenges you feel like doing :)

[–] ProfezzorDarke@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago

It's about coding competitions, and without me being directly involved in the scene (the closest I get to it are silly competitions regarding indy-games or decompiling old games or whatever) I did make personal acquaintance with every of those stereotypes, and it's so true.

[–] osmn@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

It's about how I applied to an associate engineer position, made it through 3 rounds of interviews, then got rejected only to find out they hired a senior engineer with over a decade of experience at AWS. /rant

[–] deaf_fish@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

It's still fun to enter competition even if these OP people are in it.

[–] rapethereddit69@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What with Chinese with their near-impossible feats?

[–] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

From someone who had Chinese roommates: torture from their families, society and themselves.

Sleep? 4 hours is enough. Do it in the library. Food? Has to go fast. Socializing? They better also be studying 24/7. Depression? You're not my son/daughter anymore.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

Lesson learned: aim for the manager spot to order those folks around

[–] tmpr@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 year ago

We’ll shit imma be out of a jerb with this competition.

[–] dan@upvote.au 4 points 1 year ago

I've been coding for a long time, and I think I've worked with all these archetypes. Too real.

[–] hellfire103@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

I love this!

[–] randint@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

You really just threw "generic Chinese name" into some translator didn't you lol
