I've met him a few times at conferences. Very nice guy, good sense of humor. I doubt very much he took your joke seriously, even if you were autistic about it.
>>62340872
Autists and aspies.

>write once
>now your shit doesn't work because Java JRE 7u45 doesn't work with some programs that were written for 7u44
Fuck Java, piece of shit garbage.
I had some professional footballer come in to get his laptop fixed but I didn't know who he was. He kept telling me about how he has a game on the weekend and needs the laptop back asap and I just told him he will get it when we're ready as we have other customers then he got rude so I told him to go elsewhere if hes such an impatient child then he told me how he makes what i earn in a year in just one day and went on about all the pussy he gets. I just looked at him and told him hes a nobody and he left.
java isnt really that bad. most java programmers are.

Not really /g/ related, but one time Usher acted absolutely disgusted that I didn't recognize him at the hotel I worked at.

They're all like that. They expect everything on a silver platter.
>be me
>in college for cs
>fall for the thinkpad/libre meme
>use as little proprietary software as possible
>cripple myself in projects trying to avoid proprietary
>rather than join the normies working on C# internship with a local big business I make a FOSS usergroup
>graduate with a bunch of deadbeat FOSS hippies as references instead of business
>my github page is full of work, but it's all hideous collaborations with other FOSS NEETs
>spend two years couch surfing trying to get a job that's at-least open-source related
>finally break down after being thrown out of my then-gf's apartment for not helping with the rent
>get a job with that business I should have interned with
>do great work there after getting over the memes
>the guys who graduated with me are my superiors
>mfw I should have never let myself get meme'd into FOSS

Where's the part where you just breathed deeply and rejoiced about having your freedoms?
>>62340438
isn't he rich wtf?
>>62340438
>worst programming language

Name names

Usher seems like an asshole. He is also partly to blame for Bieber.
>>62341610
Lots of wealthy people prefer to live frugal lives, and thrift stores are a genuine thrill for most people.
>>62340978
You should have gotten him to hook you up with some of his extra pussy and bumped him up in line.
>>62341625
js is fun though, call me when there's a language as fun as js
>>62343069
>js is fun
>>62340438
I wouldn't feel too bad, I'm sure he's experienced far worse autism, and not in the form of a shitty joke.

rich people who piss away money either come from old family money or won't be rich for very long
>>62340907
And just generally silly-ass kids, with little or no social skills and no empathy
