| 10:14 | thimbronion | meh somehow I find myself in the position of defending javascript something must be wrong |
| 10:16 | thimbronion | In any case I suspect my work on the logotron would be subpar compared to most of my collegues who at the moment write a lot of javascript. |
| 10:17 | thimbronion | I'm not any sort of programming genius |
| 10:18 | thimbronion | I am really one of the kind Naggum most dispised - those that wrote software out of base financial need. |
| 10:31 | asciilifeform | thimbronion: there's no js in my logotron, fwiw |
| 10:31 | thimbronion | I know, it's python |
| 10:31 | thimbronion | I |
| 10:31 | asciilifeform | thimbronion: as for your softwares, it is difficult to say, i dun recall reading any published example |
| 10:32 | thimbronion | Nothing of note to publish besides my log search work. |
| 10:33 | thimbronion | Everything else is on some corporate github account. |
| 10:35 | thimbronion | And in either ruby or js. |
| 10:35 | asciilifeform | thimbronion: iirc you were something other than programmer, originally? (chemist?) |
| 10:36 | thimbronion | lol no - always programmer - cs major |
| 10:36 | asciilifeform | aa |
| 10:36 | thimbronion | Was always more interested in foreign languages though - but no way to make any money there I could see |
| 10:37 | asciilifeform | to/from english? not outside of usg.pentagon, for the most part, afaik. |
| 10:38 | thimbronion | yep |
| 10:39 | thimbronion | I met some of those folks - not a good life |
| 10:41 | thimbronion | Got a taste of state department work too during interview process - not for me. |
