> Meanwhile, in our low-perqs atmosphere in NY, distractions were limited and productivity was high. We also all made money. Yes, that's how it usually works out. By the way, 'perqs' is a peculiar word. English is my seco

I'm single but I totally get this. And that's my fear when I get older (without kids). That the happiness of being single now and not dealing with kids and having more disposable income, etc. etc. will only go so far but that I&#x

Well said. Giving yourself the junior dev label just makes it easier for them to place you in an unwanted pile.

My grandpa used to enjoy doing Euclid's Elements compass and straightedge constructions and understanding proofs. He also enjoyed reproducing geometric proofs of certain equations. What's funny is he hated math as a student but fo

First time I heard: that's what she said as a punchline for double-entendres... was around mid-to-late 90s on King of the Hill and I was a teenager. It was an episode where Ben Stiller guest starred as a new employee who worked wit

I love other devs shitting on PHP in my area. The more PHP work they forgo, the better for me. Less guys doing it, always in demand. Making good bank and am quite good at using it.

Correction: Carlin was no fool, he was a foole. At least that's what he listed under "occupation". At one point he was America's fastest rising young foole.

Either that or I ... just drink my "regular coffee" cause ... I literally have zero problems with it.

Agreed. Everyone has different definitions of bad coffee. Luckily, for me, my definition also coincides with the overpriced coffee. In short: my version of bad coffee is burnt, over roasted stuff. Like Starbucks. I'd rather have Maxwel

I've never felt the need to pay extra for whole-bean, locally, ethically roasted, gourmet coffee. Even when I started making way more money I've stuck with the can of ground coffee. The reason is cause most days I just down the cu

I just really liked Wendy Carlos' soundtrack. Still listen to it. It has such a calming presence. Say what you will about Daft Punk and Tron Legacy but the original Tron OST is underrated.

It's not the end-all, be-all but it is a generally good principle. But yeah, 100% dry code that is also practical to maintain is also a fucking myth and not grounded in reality.

Your examples lack a reasoning or explanation as to why code should be abstracted to a separate function. To a senior dev they might not need an explanation to justify the action of extracting the coded. It could just be oversight. But to j

That would be tough for me. I don't smoke. I don't drink. I don't toke. I don't gamble. Only vice I have is drinking coffee and eating burgers. Coffee is one of those few things that brings me a lotta joy.
