This kind of stuff is what causes developer's to loss their mind. If you have to write a comment saying do not use a function, REMOVE IT!

Started with the TRS80 MC-10 and then went to the Commodore 64. I still have the C-64 in a box in my garage.2

Going to the gun range and going through a couple of hundred rounds always helps clear my head when I am stuck.1

I find lately my biggest challenge as a developer is sticking with one editor. Currently it is a battle between Sublime Text 3 and Atom. Not a battle where I switch every few days. This is a battle where I find myself switching at least once a day for no real reason.16

They think I am responsible for every website and app out there. (Ex. Can you make Facebook do ~insert ridiculous request~?)
Umm... NO! -
The story of my last(current) job is fairly boring... Recruiter I worked with in the past called and said there was a group looking for my skill set and that I should have lunch with them. Went to lunch and one hour later we had negotiated my salary, bonuses and benefits. Been here ever since.

It always seems for the first couple of days when I switch to a new keyboard, I feel like a monkey banging on the keys.

I tend to be my biggest distraction. Sometimes I will get half way through a project and start to wonder if I should have written it using another language and then scrap the whole thing and start over.1

Started by viewing the source of basic sites to learn html. Told the IT director of the company I was working at that I wanted to get into programming and he handed me a ColdFusion programming book. By the 4th chapter I was full time in the IT department and subsequently the last one to leave when the doors shut on that business.
That was almost 18 years ago long before YouTube and Treehouse and all these coding bootcamps. -
I need to put a coffee maker in my office. I am tired of having to put my shoes back on to walk down the hall.1

I am partially self taught and partially book taught.
The self taught part involved viewing the source of websites and learning HTML that way.
The book part comes from when I worked at a .COM startup in their customer service dept while learning HTML. I mentioned it to the IT Director and he threw a ColdFusion book at me and told me to learn it and I could move to the IT dept. Needless to say, I haven't done customer service work since.3 -
I am starting to think the biggest problem with my current project isn't the business unit changing their minds all the time. It looks like the biggest problem is me continuously refactoring the code.

Hearing from friends and some family... "You don't really work. You just sit in front of a computer all day."8

Pain the ass sales guy walks into my office uninvited. Looks at one of my screens which has sftp copying a lot of files and spewing out each one. He asks what that "nonsense" is.
I politely tell him that it is all his sales data and I am deleting it. At which point I got up and went to lunch with no further discussion.
The next phone call I received was from my boss asking me to stop fucking with the sales people. I hope he learned to knock after this.5
