I'm a mediocre programmer. Does this mean I should switch to PHP?
I have searched, but I can find nothing about this mediocre language.
Could you tell us more?
:-P
(For anyone who is confused by Hendrik's humor, he is saying that David
was referring to a programming language named "mediocre". English
grammar is confusing!)
This is true - I intended, when I started the post, to make a crack about
how he knew that he was mediocre - If there were some exam or test
that you have to pass or fail to be able to make the claim to mediocrity.
I was imagining a sort of devil's rating scale for programmers, that
could cause one to say things like: "I am studying hard so that I can
get my mediocre certificate, and one day I hope to reach hacker rank".
And then the similarity to "I am a COBOL programmer" struck me,
and I abandoned the ratings.
If you were a "COBOL" programmer, would you want to shout about it? :-)
