Yeah… In practice, every time a company gets anything that even slightly resembles a captured market, they stop investing in quality and starting shafting consumers.
Make no mistake, that is Microsoft’s end game. And that’s why they’re buying Blizzard.
If there’s one thing I hate, it’s ppl sayin something should have been done yesterday.
Guess what, if should have been done yesterday, we’ve missed the deadline, we’ve already failed and might as wel write off the project.
The dude is right though. The most important part of being a programmer is designing an elegant solution. That requires talking the problem through, solliciting feedback, getting ideas… you meeting with ppl and talking to them.
The second most important part of being a programmer is realizing that you’re not doing this alone. Once again, you talking to colleagues to discuss what they can expect and when, likewise what you need and when.
Meetings are super important. Unless your a code monkey or if it’s office gossip or me having to spend an hour explaining why a job estimated to take 4 weeks will not be done next Friday. And no, “trying a little harder” or “realizing how important this to the client” isn’t going to change that.
I use a plate. But just the one plate. I had friends over a while back and had to wash my other plates before serving. They were covered with dust.
Writing documentation

My grandmother used to say: if you expect your good deed to be reciprocated, you’re not actually doing a good deed.
She said it in dutch, so I hope it’s an decent translation.
Is this a hardcoded opt out or something? Couple of months ago I had to install windows for a friend. I tried to not make a windows account. All the exploits I found, were “patched”. I finally just gave up and made the account. My friend doesn’t care enough about privacy and I don’t care enough about windows for all that effort.
But, no@thank.you would be awesome.
Soapshover all the way. All the way.
I sometimes wonder if these tech bros are truly oblivious to how stupid their ideas are, or if it’s a deliberate con intended to fleece tech-illiterate investors.
I suppose it’s a little of column A and a little of column B, but I do wonder which is more prevalent.
