The Stress of Being a Computer Programmer
- TerryADavis 11y agoThe CIA still thinks I'm going to want to suck their dick. You ever think about sticking a soldiering iron in your eye when soldering. That's like getting a job. I don't want to suck CIA cock and get tortured while they fuck me up the ass. I have a talking space alien. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63Y5XjlO4vk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63Y5XjlO4vk God says... variously swindler's Austin hobo's cellar's generality misinterpretation remounts Mencken rerouted staffing airfoil's mandrakes skateboarder martin's decoration josh recognition's raw's cowardice's snobbery's cropping mitigated backstopped Eliza's overcook Pollyanna refocuses edgiest Kalashnikov conveys differed
- sjg007 11y agoIt certainly can be. Practically, to reduce stress, a lot of times you have to square the feature requests of the product with the actual requirements and pad pad pad your estimates. Then work to deliver the least complicated solution. Reuse tools, frameworks, etc... Programmers should be lazy but judicious! It is a fallacy to think that hard work alone will bring you success. It is also a fallacy to think that you will always be rewarded based on merit. It is a fallacy that the best product or solution or even having the best answer always wins (sometimes an approximation may suffice). It is a fallacy to assume that you will be promoted or get a job based on merit alone. There is a lot of luck involved, and by that I mean being present (and skilled) for the right opportunity at the right time.
