Being a professional programmer is 60% learning how to code "right way," and 40% dealing with assholes, whether they be brainy children or a "visionary" from the business side.

Wow who knew half of the people on this site were professional programmers. We should get together and write Lowtax a better forum and then give it to him on his birthday.

I'm doing am asters in programming. Its hard but fun. People have referred to programmers as modern day wizards / magicians. I'm fine with that. I always wanted to be a wizard

I read an online guide to basic C programming once, it was easy to follow and gave me insight into bits and bytes and things. Years later I tried to find it, and learned that in the intervening time period, the author had raped his own son and then killed himself in jail. I then said 'welp' outloud and never thought about programming again.

As a non-programmer, but someone that studied programming in high-school, I wonder whether or not I should have just bit the bullet and forced myself to learn that bullshit and get some cushy soul-sucking 6-figgy job running a questionably functional website, or by trying to make money in an actually fulfilling field.

Hey I need a programmer to do me a favour I have an idea for a program for the game prisoners' dilemma (along the lines of tit for tat or one of those), and I need someone to program it so I can see how it runs against other options. It's the sort of thing they programmed back in the 70s.

i was a computer janitor then i was an it manager (which involved never doing anything with computers and spending more time arguing about budgets and trying to tell finance that yes, we needed to have licenses for microsoft products. then arguing with the directors when finance refused to give us money for licenses and we got hit with enormous fines lol) and i got very depressed about that so i got into coding instead and it's much less stressful and they give me more money.

Some executive at some huge company thinks that right now is the last chance for anyone to become rich and that once everything gets automated by machines there will only poor people and a smaller amount of rich people and if you don't become rich right now then you and all of your descendants will likely be poor forever. Welp, gotta go try to get rich quick. Have a nice day.

Skeleton Ape posted:*meeting immediately derails and turns into 30 minutes of two turbonerds arguing about something pedantic while everyone else just stares* stand ups shouldnt involve any technical discussion i hate when people start talking about the tech details of what theyre working on or the exact nuance of a bug they found as if anybody else there understands. and the few that might dont give a poo poo because it's not their problem.

We've always kept the technical nonsense for the end of standup, but everyone who isn't directly involved sticks around anyway because they are too chicken (or lazy) to leave.
