Top 3 reasons why you love to code?
1. It helps to process my inner masochism
2. Gives me an infinite amount of reasons to complain (hiding the fact that's just a behavioural trait)
3. Flexible working times (that end up being the double of the non-flexible 😑) -
Deadline for my paper is tomorrow. Still missing 1/3rd. Also haven't created the presentation for it yet.

Any recommended KVM application?
I have tried Barrier on my two Cinnamon and not successful. Maybe I should just buy Synergy. 😐1 -
I can't code
So 3 things i hate because i can't code. #selfrant
1. My father was a programmer in the 80-90ties. So he forced me at 11 years old to do a stupid "Java for Kids" book. You had to write sooooo much verbose code just that a stupid grey button would appear that looked ugly. I really really hated it.
2. Now I'm a graphic designer by trade. The first time I came in contact with something useful code related was in 2011. https://processing.org the generative design framework. It looked glorious! But it was in Java! I hated it.
3. I hate that i can't code because I'm dependend on you guys to get my design to become alive. Thanks to 3 years on devRant, the days arguing with a lazy dev that something can't be done is thankfully gone.6 -
So on friday i got a super speed course on how to develop a new styleguide in Angular with Storybook. Superspeed because fellow dev went on vacation for a week. Today is monday and i forgot everything i need to know.
This is gonna be a difficult week :/2 -
1. God Complex
2. You can get things done with little effort. ( script or program that does personal computer chores for me, etc..)
3. Lots of $$$ opportunities if you are able to get some clients. -
1. Creativity - you can create anything from typing words and a little electricity - office programs, new medicines, predicting cancer from images, robots, planes, satellites, rockets that put people to the Moon or robots to Mars - all use machines programmed with code.
2. Challenge - some of the projects and algorithms are so complicated that full understanding of them is great challenge.
3. Freedom - you only need a laptop and internet and a bit of electricity and you can code from anywhere on Earth or if you’re Astronaut you can even code from space. -
Going a little outside the format of the topic, but I remember the moment I realized I wanted to pursue code.
I was really into Transport Tycoon and I was trying to pin down exactly what I enjoyed about it. There's something about that process of inventing a solution before you pull back, look at it, and go "holy shit, it works". I can't think of any other career where I'd get that same fix. -
Quit a shitty gig finally. Today is first day waking up and not having to turn up for this shit. There are so many mixed feelings I don’t even.

On a scale of 0 to who fucking cares, how important is it to stand on your feet during dailies?
