I've heard this a few times from people and the really baffling part of it for me is how many people still shut down their computers these days. Maybe I'm a special case, but for laptops I close the lid and it sleeps until I need it again a

I don't know about how other schools approached programming careers, but I know my school tried to make it out like you had to be some crazy math genius in order to do basic programming. Compound that with the fact that my school didn't off

I'm just curious, do you eat potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, or cauliflower? If so, you are already ingesting that evil, evil nicotine[1]. In all honesty, I doubt we would be put more at risk by inhaling any trace amounts of nicotine in secon

Definitely agree with this. I, personally, do quite a bit of mixology and cooking as my non-computer based creative outlet. I get a lot of enjoyment out thinking through various combinations of ingredients and how they would interact with e

It was my "dream job" to work in some big name game studio one day. Then, after reading studio horror stories and working in other normal programming jobs, I realized that I had all this extra time outside of work that I could use to make g

When I was in high school (graduated in 2006), we were only required to take chemistry OR biology, but not required to take both. Those in my class who were afraid of math (most of them) took biology, while the rest of us enjoyed our chemis
