You forget to mention that you wanted to do all this going forward.

I essentially quit the programming profession because of fucking open office plans. Just an absolute nightmare as far as actual productive coding environments are concerned.
“Get rid of those ugly strain reliefs on the plugs!”
“Uh, we don’t make hardware.”
“I don’t care, get rid of them!”
For me, working from home meant eating endangered species for lunch seven days a week instead of just two. Checkmate, liberals.
if the code changes and the comment isn’t updated accordingly, it can be ambiguous.
People always cite this as a reason comments are bad. In 30+ years as a developer I have seen (and participated in) a lot of failed software projects, but not once has a mismatch between comments and code been the actual cause of the failure. Moreover, the same logic could be applied to the names of methods and variables (“if the code changes and the method and variable names aren’t updated accordingly, it can be ambiguous”) but nobody ever suggests getting rid of that. At the end of the day, comments are useful for imparting information about the code to future developers (or yourself) that is too complicated to be adequately communicated by a method name.
And a child is assumed to be a future combatant.
I mean, a score is 20. I think that means they’ve killed two thousand scores of people. “Scores of women and children” doesn’t really do that justice.
Ain’t nobody fuck with tiny hippo. Ain’t nobody.
I spent my 30s feeling like a retiree, but then I bought a bicycle at age 39 and started riding 25-50 miles a day. Now I’m approaching my 60s and I’m in the best shape of my life. Barring catastrophic and permanent injuries, I think the main problem with aging is that being sedentary causes your body to decay and the older you are the more time you’ve had to be sedentary. Get up off your dead asses, people, and don’t tell me you don’t have the time for exercise. You have plenty of time to watch TV and scroll through your phones, turn some of that time into something useful.
This shit again. Those numbers are nothing to worry about at all, they’re just meant for the Russian sleepers sitting in their apartments next to NATO military facilities, telling them to continue not setting off their hydrogen bombs. I don’t know why people worry about this.
NIN is 29yo angst with heroin addict angst thrown in for good measure.
I always claimed in job interviews to be good at debugging, but there are no certifications for debugging and there’s really no way for an interviewer to verify such a claim. So even though it is an incredibly important skill, companies just do not look for it. There is also the hilariously misguided belief that good coders do not produce bugs so there’s no need for debugging.
One thing I always liked about the various flavors of BASIC was that nobody ever pushed that shit as a religion.
So you’re saying hotdog pizzas aren’t really pizza?
Peche (peach-flavored lambic) and framboise (raspberry-flavored) are awesome, too. As expensive as wine but at least it has the same alcohol content as wine.
Romans were food snobs too, though. One common insult was “chickpea-eater” because roasted chickpeas were poor people food. Thing is, roasted chickpeas are fucking delicious - I really wish fresh chickpeas in the pod were easier to find (in the US).
I’ll stick to my mammoth steaks, thanks very much.
Not since the 17th century.
Fun fact: at his mother’s deathbed, Stalin reportedly told her that he had “become something like the Tsar”. Perfectly accurate FWIW.
I used to be a programmer and probably my best strength was my ability to talk to clients, understand their needs, and design software that satisfied those needs. There are absolutely no certifications or formal qualifications of any kind for this in the programming world and employers do not look for it or give it any weight at all when filling positions, despite its obvious importance to the success of projects.
