I'm a programmer because I like puzzles. Software development is usually the process of:
- identifying the 'puzzle'
- developing a solution
- implement the solution with whatever tools you are given/have available
Whilst 3 is still fun I don't want to write reams of code I don't need to so reducing the amount of code I type is fine by me.
(Sorry for the boring answer to a hilarious rant  )

So you like assembly?
Everything else is just reducing the amount of code you need to type.

Really?
Writing (perhaps) a lable, an opcode and typically 0 - 2 operands actually looks quite spartan to me. Also, you have the single most important abstraction at your disposal: Structuring your code in subroutines or functions.
The biggest bonus: There is little room for religious wars over styles or language features.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

It would obviously depend on what you're doing, but let's just say that I wouldn't enjoy writing a website from scratch in assembly.

There's a synonym for "punching bag". It's called "colleagues".

Not sure if you intended to, or did so by mistake, but that phrase has a very particular meaning.

If I liked typing I'd have been a typist. If I could write code without typing at all I would.
BTW: I almost exclusively use "var" and see little wrong with it. I guess I'm an "implied typist"!  But I also use bigLongVariableNames, because that's where the real value of all those extra characters comes in.

Exactly. Typing (in all senses) is merely a means to an end. Any author will tell you that they hate typing too. It's not why we or they do what we or they do.

Maybe you should educate them on how to be a professional rather than an amateur.
Professionals understand that code is part of a process and not the sole point of development.
Of course other parts of the process are architecture, design, implementation, testing and maintenance. Not to mention the cost of all of those.
Of those steps the part that "reduces" code is only one part. Unless it does, objectively, reduce the cost overall then it isn't in fact professional. At a minimum it must be easier to maintain (thus understand) for the average programmer that works at the company. If it doesn't then it isn't cost effective and therefor it fails.

 I like typing (slow typing) in C-derived language, it let me think! Programming is all about thinking. At the end of the day, this in incredibly productive.

All it does, IMHO, is obfuscate things. There's really no added value, as far as I can see. I see this all the time in Rails code. It's a PITA, because you have to learn all these one-off poorly named "rewrites" of the original code intentions.

The photo has been edited, I suspect. I would like to direct your attention to the big numbers toward the bottom. The image noise is clearly evident with the naked/nude/undressed eye.

I think that's JPG-artifacts. I see the same noise around every other text too. Not saying this proves the photo to be legit.

I think it is legit, was confirmed by the OP.
Did I just try to convince someone on the Internet that the Internet is not wrong ?
