Coders Manifesto

Another Made the News today.
"Teen makes million dollar program that exchanges movies!"
Damn Deliquents! They're all alike!

But did you, in your 3-piece psychology and
1950's technobrain ever take a look at the brain
of a coder? Did you ever wonder what made him so rich,
What forces shaped him, What made him so 1337?
I am a Coder, enter my world...
Mine is a world that begins at school...I'm the
smartest in the class, I know C++ and they don't!
Damn Smart-ass. They're all alike!

I'm in High School. I've listened to teachers explain for the
15th time on how to find the variable X when the Sum equals 20
and the value is 2! I understand it!
"No Ms. Smith, I didn't DO my work. I was too busy writing
Code for a program that will save the Internet!"
Damn Kid. Always Writing Jibberish. They're all alike!

I made a discovery today. I found a New version of C++.
Wait a sec, I already have this version! I can make anything I want
If it makes a mistake, it's because I forgot a semicolon,
or I forgot a parenthesis
or maybe a quotation
or I didn't close Brackets
Damn Kid. Always playing with that compiler thingy. They're all alike!

And then it happened...a door opened to a new world...
rushing through the phone line like cocaine up a snorters nose, an
electronic pulse is sent out, I was shocked a bit but I'll Live...
An IRC channel is found...
"This is it...This is where I belong"

I know everyone here...I've flamed the Lamers and acknowledged the 1ee7
...I've seen your proggies and played your games.
Damn Kid. "Get off that Damn computer and do your Homework!" They're all alike!

You bet your ass we're all alike. We've been spoon-fed mushed peas when we hungered for apple sauce...The little bit you did slip through was kind of moldy and smelly so I gave it my cat. We've ben dominated by the Jocks and ignored by the stupid. The few that did have something to teach went to work for Microsoft, but those few died, probably from the moldy apple sauce.

This our world now. A world of Arrays and Integers, the beauty of the compiler! We make use of a language already existing without error handling which could be the best damn proggie ever and you call us Computer nerds! We free the web and you call us Nerds! We make MP3 traders and you call us Nerds! You pick your nose, scratch your crouch and forget to brush your teeth and you call us nerds!

Well I'm not a Nerd. If I'm Nerd then my Nerdy crime is that of Coding. My crime is that of building a Program for you incompetent fools! My Crime is that of being 1337...something that you will never forgive me for!

I am a coder...This is my Manifesto! You may stop one individual, but you can't stop us all! After all, We know C++!

Hmm... sounds very familar, I swear I've read that somewhere before. Did you just write that or has it been published on the web somewhere?
