Finally Learning Real Programming

Finally learning how to be a real programmer How do I exit Vim? SECOND EDITION THE ANSI C PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE BRIAN W. KERNIGHAN DENNIS M. RITCHIE

A computer monitor shows a Stack Overflow question about exiting Vim behind a copy of The C Programming Language, stamped “ANSI C.” The joke is that the person considers learning C from the classic textbook to be becoming a “real programmer,” while still being trapped in Vim—a familiar programmer struggle. This is shared as a humorous reaction to programming gatekeeping, old-school programming culture, or difficulty with command-line tools.
