Plus one here: I get a strong case of the cliche “man must fix problem” after a solid day of programming. It’s helpful when you can keep it in balance, but it’s definitely not the right tool for all situations.
- dj_gitmo 5y agoThis reminds me of a great scene from "Halt and Catch Fire". The lead engineer, Gordon, is supposed to be making dinner for his kids and putting them to bed while his wife is away, but he notices a small leak from the kitchen sink. He then drops all plans and next you see him under the sink. Marital problems ensue.
- swayvil 5y agoWoo! new tv show to watch
- dj_gitmo 5y agoIt's really good, both as a drama with great characters, and as a show about tech.
- swayvil 5y agoA punk sexpot supermodel rockstar with awesome hair programmer? Really? But that got me thinking. Say they did it different. Realistically. 3 alienated schlubs. Fat. Bad skin. Brilliant and driven. Would the show have worked with that? I mean, realistically? Do people like that have camaraderie? And society? Is that realistic? I mean of course I like to think they do. But maybe they don't. Maybe it would be like 3 Pak Protectors pinging each other across lightyears. And maybe it would still work showwise. The demographic would be like 10 people. I'd probably watch it. Also, there's some good music. Was that Dead Kennedys?
