no Google
I do not believe you.
Arch Linux
Okay, fine. A rare sighting.
There are dozens of us. And we are used to reading manuals, since we first installed our system.

They did it before the Internet was even a thing, my friend.
I was there. I was one of them. I just chose to use tools to make my life easier. Call me a sell out, I guess.
Nope, not a sell out. Just a person using the tools at hand. You can't just live in the past. You did it without Google back then because there was no Google and you had to use what you had to use. Now you use Google, because again, you have to use what you have to use. In the end, I personally only care about the outcome.
I just chose to use tools to make my life easier
If you don't then I'd call you stupid. Keep doing that, friend. That's the best way actually. You want your life easier so you can put out great work.

I remember using man pages when I was contributing to a C open source project back in the day.

Yay! Cencorship! I spent an extra 3 seconds focusing on the word psychopath trying to figure out what went wrong instead of reading it like a normal word. Isn’t that so much better than offending an algorithm with the letter ‘h’?
Psychopatl
Wasn't that one of the Incan gods?
You are thinking of the one they used to design the common keyboard layout, Qwertycoatl.

Is psychopatl an Aztec insult I don't know about?
Someone cropped the last line? What a sociopatl
(For any nerd wondering, the name of the language is Nahuatl but I guess Aztec language is more recognizable for the sake of the joke lol)
Type of dinosaur I believe

Is this supposed to be a joke or have we truly gotten to the point where ... coding in a terminal via like hyprland or w/e, without relying on an what is basically an annoying tutorial character from a video game that acts as an assistant...
This is psycopathy?
Having actual competence in one's field?
Oh god we're all doomed, they'll soon be alternating between worshipping us demigods, or burning us at the stake.
EDIT:
Welp, I'm sure thats a good sign, lol.
Pretty sure it's gonna be the stake
It's a joke on a tweet about a guy spending a multi-hour flight just staring straight ahead.
I've done similar things in a coffee shop before, just working on my own code, and I have actually been 'politely' asked to leave by the staff.
The staff evidently being a bunch of morons who thought I was... hacking into ... something?
They didn't know what, but they were very concerned.
I was unable to convince them I was not, because 'terminal' = 'hacking' to idiots who only know anything about computers via movies and tv shows.

Yesterday I spent about 2 hours trying to get ChatGPT to walk me through the install process of putting Arch on a 2011 MacBook Air. It just wouldn’t work and the further along we got the harder it seemed and I really thought that using AI was necessary. I finally gave up and read the Arch Wiki and had it installed in under 45 minutes.

Vim ftw!
I can’t live without vim.
Sometimes I wander into vscode but it’s less productive for me.
Plus vscode has weird name inconsistencies (the app is called visual studio code, it’s branded as vscode, and the menu bar says Code), which is probably normal for Microsoft but unusual elsewhere.

I should fork vim and call it 'death', so I can shout "give me vim or give me death!" any time someone suggests a different editor.

Raw dogging development
I still remember my Masters degree in distributed computing. C++ in vi (not even vim), monochromatic display, 36 computers working together to give me a bunch of SIGSEGV.

I was going to ask how he knew it was Arch, but I feel like that is just setting up the next comment.
I use Arch by the way.

I can still do this provided that the language is Perl. But the few cases when I actually have to do so are rare, and never in public.

I had an internship 15 years ago where I was forced to write C++ with no internet access. I had to use a programming manual and man pages.
Like an animal.

That's impossible. He would be too busy telling everyone that he uses Arch to get any work done.
The true psychopaths are those sweating about which tools other people use
My cycle goes : think think think, draw, think, draw, think, write code for a day or 3.
I use an ide or a text editor. never use that other stuff.
Just straight up raw-dogging it
I still use emacs
It's a fine operating system, what editor do you use?

Back in my day we would program using office hole puncher and going to a library every time we needed to look up some API information.
