My dad could do more with one line of c, than most coders could do in their entire career.

mostly because his formatting sucked balls and he kind of just left everything on the first line.

Given enough preprocessor magic you can write everything in C.

Replace C with javascript and it'd be more accurate imo.

god dammit. her laptop isn't even labelled. there is no text on it anywhere. nothing except the black chassis and the grey rectangle at a 45 degree angle.

WHY DO I KNOW IT'S A THINKPAD?

it's like the minimalist meme trend that was going around a while back but for brand recognition. I am not okay with the knowledge that I've beensoo easily programmed.
