- AznHisoka 15y agoI had the same thoughts as I was reading this... why limit yourself to success as a programmer? Why not success as a problem solver?
- developer9 15y ago> Co-workers and bosses are not usually your friends I second that unfortunately. :( The flipside of that though is that you probably won't be their friend either, even if you'd like to think of yourself as a good person. After getting burnt by fake friends at work, I went for years without putting personal items into my cube because I wanted to ensure that I always remembered this. Nowadays I think that was the wrong thing to do though. It is not worth living so much of your life in an environment that you can't turn at least partly into your home for several hours a day. Just realize that home is temporary, well- unless you work at home.
