What do Real Programmers even do, in 2026?
@vaporeon_ play stardew valley
@wallhackio LOL (but I really do want answers... Can you even be a Real Programmer in 2026?)
@vaporeon_ I'm sure you can my roommates are actual programmers
@wallhackio What software do they work on?
@vaporeon_ they are web developers so I don't think I can give useful advice
@wallhackio Are you familiar with this story? https://users.cs.utah.edu/~elb/folklore/mel.html
Which as far as I know actually happened, the guy really existed and really did write that program, though the narration got some of the details wrong

@vaporeon_ i have heard of this but i haven't actually sat down and read the whole thing
@wallhackio I don't think it's possible to do this type of Real Programming as a web developer
