Real Programmer Edit Meaning

1.

some old fart(usually 40-60 years old) that started with programming back in the 50s-60s-70s, and only codes in machine code(or with bin and hexa...and MAYBE Assembly if he's feeling lazy).

they usually hate most of the "new" stuff like IDE, and newer languages...
