1. Coding gets me naturally high. Mentally sound and sharpens my focus.

2. Beating a challenge by code is fun. And watching something I spent much time on working is great. Like setting up all those dominos to watch them cascade and fall down one after another...bliss!

3. People think I'm smart because I can type instructions into inanimate objects and make lights flash on the screen.

Finite State Machines are awesome! Resume from reboots and automation is possible even on older Powershell versions without Workflow support. Setting state and transitions resuming where it left off is huge for getting PC's set up. Unfortunately can reimage due to no vl reimaging rights but scripting is totally possible...and with it creating it's own scheduled task to run on startup it does what it needs, then reboots resumes and deletes the task when done.

Love writing comments, hate writing documentation.

Ugh, I know it is needed but just don't care about it as much as the code/comments which is a more direct 'here is what this does' approach. Writing idiot proof documentation sucks. Any little change? Have to remember to update the docs. Yeah, not happy.

This is so TRUE!

Or is it FALSE?

Happy Halloween!

Where is the location of hell for bad SQL devs?

NO "WHERE"

Caption this!

I'll start:
FUCK YOU
New Linux CoC(k) suckers!

Google's slogan is (was?) "don't be evil" but all of their new MD apps are blindingly white light themes!

Retinas?, no don't need them. Thanks Google.

You call yourself an ASM programmer?

Just NOP yourself please

Your code so bad even your rubber duck won't listen to that nonsense.

Bro, do you even git init?

This is so true. I agree no one will slow down and put in the effort to make lasting stuff or it is rare.

Windows: everything is proprietary and inconsistent

Mac: everything is expensive

Linux: everything is a text file

Rereading old code I wrote and asking myself questions while reading it...then reading the next line, a comment, answering those very questions.

Past self. Thank you very much. 😎

When I switch between windows scripting, web stuff and everything else.

Telling a UDP joke to someone who doesn't work in the Information Technology industry won't go over very well...because they probably don't get IT.

Is social life a thing? I wouldn't know.

But then again I'm not to fond of people in general (only a few in particular).

Procrastination and sleep mostly.

If only it were that easy...

display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;

Done!

Sleep not found...

Enjoying the "Algo Yo" exercises in the Dcoder app.

Probably when I was younger and got my AI working for her checkers game I made in Z80 asm for TI-86. Spent so much time on it not working and then seeing it finally working and taking jumps and scoring the board positions and it seemed semi intelligent even thought it was a very weak ai ... Still I was excited 😁

New mech keyboard is actually rather nice to type on.
