They cannot help it. I don’t blame them.

By: Mona
.......................

Stuck up, know it all, or arrogant. Whatever you want to call them, they are who they are.

As the years went by, and I became an expert in web design and web programming, I noticed that this arrogance has bestowed its presence on me as well. I did not know why, but arrogance is not something you purposely feel like becoming to show off. It is a natural habit that evolves over time once you become an expert, or know something so well to the point that it becomes part of you.

I finally understand why some people are full of arrogance.

Top Arrogant Professions

Many University Professors’ eyes roll at you unconditionally sometimes, and they can’t answer you straight up with a simple answer, because they lack the brain power to go down to that level. They are so into advanced crap that they forgot what it meant to be a novice. They can’t help it. I don’t blame them for that, and I actually agree with the unconditional rolling of the eyes at some stupid questions that students don’t bother looking up for themselves.

Doctors are the second most natural arrogant bastards. They give you a straight answer without thinking, and sometimes chuckle at the end of the sentence because you asked it. “How come you did not know that?” is their constant question to every question you ask them. Maybe because I am NOT a doctor is my answer. I did not spend my 20′s and early 30′s learning about a microscopic part of my body that can only be fixed by a 10 hour surgery. That’s not my problem. So stop being arrogant about how much you know! We know you know too much, so help us!

The third most arrogant bastards, the Engineers. Oh, they think they know it all because they know if they screw up, they get their ass sued faster than a cop busting those pot dealers in downtown every day. Why are Engineers arrogant? Maybe because they spend 90% of their time designing something so great, so magnificent, and then there is that chance where it actually ends up working and being kick ass awesome! Awesome is what they describe their products. Yes, awesome! And when the final product is displayed to the world, their arrogance increases 10 folds. The more they succeed, the more arrogant they become. I don’t blame them. They do build awesome stuff that does change the world.

Then comes the best, most arrogant bastards known to man, the Computer Programmers. It’s ok, I am not offended. I am arrogant, because I believe that whatever I build, the internet will consume faster than that whale of a mama you got. Yah, I am rude, arrogant, and have no time to be serious. I am a programmer. I spend hours, days, weeks, months, and years creating ONE software package that is buggy, but does so much crap for you, that you demand it must be fixed. And you will pay for it to get fixed a lot more than when it was developed over the years, just so you can be lazy person using a program that does all the work for you. (Now that’s a long run on sentence.) Also, programmers can’t write, and have no idea what a mix construction is.

This is how we write:

echo "Hello Arrogant Bastards!";
for ($i==0; $i<=10; $i++) {
if ($i%2==0) {
echo "Your evenly delicious!";
} else {
echo "No wonder your mama said you were odd!";
}
}

echo "If you understood this, then everyone has a reason to call you an arrogant bastard.";

And we think that is a joke, and we laugh. We also have our own computer languages, our own programming jokes, and we have our own societies and call novice users Newbies, or Noobs. We play computer games for over 12 hours straight, and we never get bored. We can create work for our selves that have no money value at all, and we give it out to the world and call it open source. We think that we are awesome because we rule the internet and actually know what http stands for, and what a DoS attack is on a server. We hack whatever we please, not to get information from someone, but we become over joyed when the hacking works and we can get in.

There is so much that a computer programmer knows, enjoys, and will laugh at you to your face when you don't know what they are talking about. We are arrogant people, and we tell people we are. We can't help it. We just know far too many languages, and far too many things that can destroy or shape up the world.

It's great being a programmer. :up:

This song is great! We do rule the world! :)

    A number of points:

    (a) It’s ‘mixed construction’, not ‘mix construction’ which refers to concrete.

    (b) The ‘for’ loop in your code is wrong. At the beginning you should be assigning i to the value 0 ($i=0), not testing whether i equals 0 ($i==0).

    (c) Following on from point (b), don’t you test your code?!

    (d) The output of the code, assuming it’s HTML, will be fairly shit since you don’t put any line breaks at the end of the lines.

    (e) You know what PHP stands for? Personal Home Page ;) Use a proper language like Java, Groovy or Scala.

    (e) I’m more arrogant than you :D I’m an academic, doctor (okay PhD), and programmer, all rolled into one convenient package.

    @Meyrick Kirby – blah blah.. In plain PHP code you don’t have to declare the value of $i. And this code does work. I used it b4. I don’t care about line brakes. This code is supposed to be a joke. Take a chill pill for goodness sake. You are pure arrogant. Makes me happy but pisses me off. lol

    @Moey Halawaty – yah!

    @Rahul – I didn’t understand half of what you said, but I am sure it was enlightning.

    University math professors get my vote for most arrogant. They treat you like a moron if you don’t understand something or ask a question. That really annoys me when it’s their job to guide you.

    You don’t need to declare the value of a variable in PHP, although it is good practice. However, because $i has not been defined, the equality test will fail.

    I’m going for a gold star here :D

    @Meyrick Kirby – ok.. whatever. I am old school primitive programmer and it worked for me. So spare me the lecture. It is getting lame.

    You didn’t give me a gold star :(

    Also, not to disappoint you, but my PhD is in accounting, not programming.

    @Meyrick Kirby – it does not matter what you have a PhD in. You got a PhD and your personality changed ever since. It’s inevitable. lol

    Bloody typical. This is just like student feedback at the end of courses/modules. I put together a good point-by-point explanation, answer questions promptly and accurately, flash my qualifications around, and what do I get in return? Do I get praise? Do I get a gold star? NO! Nothing, nader, zip.

    @Meyrick Kirby – I used to trash teachers in the end of term review. Unless the course was easy and the teacher was fair, then they got two gold stars! :D

    Actually, having had the pleasure of reading the student feedback of other staff, I must say some are highly amusing.

    To the best of my recollection, one started thus,

    I have attended every lecture of this course. In return I expect no less than to be rewarded in heaven by St Peter himself …

    I still think PHP sucks. You know it was developed by Israelis? Not that I care about that, but I imagine you might.

    @Meyrick Kirby – I know the creator of PHP. He came to my city, and we held a conference and we were responsible for his presence here. His name is Rasmus Lerdorf, and he is Danish/Canadian. I don’t care who developed it or worked on it after wards. The language works, and it is widely used by many web programmers. It does the job, and it is FREE!

    The dollar sign and not declaring variables in PHP freaks me out. Java is my favourite ;)

    I belong to one of these professions and find that arrogance is sign of mediocrity. The really intelligent scholars consider themselves to be mere students, because the frontiers of knowledge are always shifting and it is very difficult to keep abreast of every new development. The arrogant ones forget that God knows all.
