Real Programmer

noun1

1. •
   (slang) An archetypal highly skilled programmer, who eschews abstractions and convenient modern tools and methods of programming, instead preferring to use a manually-optimised low-level language or program directly in machine code for maximum performance.

   • The Real Programmer wants a “you asked for it, you got it” text editor; one that is complicated, cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, and dangerous. TECO, to be precise. — 2011
