I definitely associate "ninja" with wannabe JavaScript developers.

Pureblood is pretty funny, though of course we actually use Haskellers. Honorable mention goes to "Haskellnaut" to (playfully) describe taking the language as far as it can go.

Amazing, thank you for this comprehensive list :)

Our mascot is the Elephpant and I like to think PHP developers are also Elephpants.

Java = Javier

It actually isn't but I think it should be.

[-] TeoTwawki@lemmy.world 19 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

C#itheads - those are the guys that show up to the emulation project I work on insisting we would drastically improve by nuclear rewriting millions of lines of code into c# (or another language occasionaly).

It's a 20ish yrs old c++ program, we're never doing it but someone will show up trying to push the topic every couple of months.

[-] Rez@sh.itjust.works 7 points 9 months ago

As a junior dev, who mainly works with C#, wf improvements are they talking about? I always thought that C++ is way better for when performance is important, like in emulation. At my company, the seniors keep talking about how we should move away form .NET to C++.

[-] TeoTwawki@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Usually some excuse about being more accessible from someone that just doesn't want to leave their own comfort zone - non professionals playing at being professional after coming across our github. See also: complaints about not having an installer download (strictly clone and build)

Nothing for JavaScript?

Javascripters, maybe?

[-] filtoid@lemmy.ml 28 points 9 months ago

Or perhaps JSters (pronounced Jesters)*

*Meant as a turn of phrase and not a criticism of the language.

[-] ursakhiin@beehaw.org 11 points 9 months ago

Don't worry. They'll change it again next week.

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 months ago

Alternatively we could pronounce it Joestars.

Perl:

Just another Perl hacker, (sic)

This was coined by Randall Schwartz on Usenet a very long time ago. The comma has become part of it despite it originally being necessary for the English sentence it first appeared in.

Part of being a Perl aficionado is to write a japh script, that is a Perl script that prints out the above line, comma and all. The more obfuscated it is, the better. Another part is to not write code like that in production, at least not without comments explained what the heck the symbol soup is doing.

"(Perl) Wizard" has been applied to those who are notably proficient, thought that's usually a title bestowed by others.

The self-deprecating alternative is "funny character(s)" for both the symbols that appear all over Perl code as well as those who use them (I think this one was coined by Perl creator Larry Wall himself).
