So I had a discussion now with my mom about my work and it turned into a rant. But I came to this conclusion:

My most effective way to screen candidates for a backend/fullstack tech job would be to ask them what are the most influential programming books they have read and why.

If they don't mention any books (or points covered in these books) in this list, they immediately fail:
-the effective engineer
-clean coder
-code complete
-team geek
-the Phoenix project

the advantage of dating a non-dev: she thinks I'm incredibly smart when I describe what I'm working on, when in reality I have no clue what I'm doing 🙃

Don't you just love when your program finally compiles and runs error-free and...

It would be nice if it also returned what it was supposed to, but--

I have a huge problem.

I fell in love with a girl and I can't concentrate enough to code. I sit at my PC, open editor and start, but from time to time I find myself staring blindly into a screen realizing i lost some time thinking of her. Then I get back to work, but I start to write nonsense out of confusion. Today ive been trying to code from 10 am til 4 pm, but nothing. Ive literally done nothing today. Just lost time...

God damnit. Just when you thought you were safe..

Love late night working like this 😍

One thing I can't stand: users interrupting my work. I guess there's a solution ;)

Some guy analyzed all the books mentioned on Stack Overflow and sorted them by popularity...

How can some people stand not using a dark themed IDE?

You ever look as someone and think "I could replace you with a script."?

When you work for a week day and night to compete a feature, because top management said it's the highest priority. Then when you're about to send it off to test, they tell you it is no longer required.

"Lets try to do everything in this week's sprint "

how do you migrate to production so fast?
