Start an organization dedicated to building technology that helps people suffering from mental illness.

I also want to be able to work remotely while travelling and rock climbing.

So I am taking a break from the standard social media. Facebook, Instagram, etc. To sort of let my friends know, i posted this picture before disabling my accounts.

Right around midnight, the calls started pouring in because everyone thought I was going to kill myself.

Oops?

Hell is programming in a language where everything is global, strings have a maximum length and error handling is nonexistent.

Do you ever overcomplicate an explanation to make things sound harder, because you know that explaining a hard thing simply makes them sound easy to people who just don't know?

Looking through the commit log waiting for work to pick up for the day.

"Who is the asshole that wrote: 'REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!' as a commit message? .... Oh."

It was me.

This isn't my own creation, but I couldn't find it shared here yet.
It is a poem:
< > ! * ' ' #
^ " ` $ $ -
! * = @ $ _
% * < > ~ # 4
& [ ] . . /
| { , , SYSTEM HALTED

It reads as:
Waka waka bang splat tick tick hash,
Caret quote back-tick dollar dollar dash,
Bang splat equal at dollar under-score,
Percent splat waka waka tilde number four,
Ampersand bracket bracket dot dot slash,
Vertical-bar curly-bracket comma comma CRASH!

How do you personally pronounce sudo? Do you pronounce sudo at all?

Sue - Due?
Sue - Doe?
Sud - Oh?
Other?

I've heard all of the examples I gave before, but am curious about the community overall.

It's going to be one of those days. I already know.

In my freshman year of college, I ran into a grouping of circular dependencies that were so intertwined it would have warranted a total rewrite. I spent 28 hours fixing it. I took over my dorms common area, had about 5 movies playing on repeat for background noise, and stayed in the same seat for the whole period.
It was rewarding, but also showed me how easily I can get tunnel vision on a task. Now that I've graduated and moved on to a real job, I have certain back ups to make sure I don't forget to eat or take my breaks. I almost got in trouble for not taking them when I first started.

I'm parsing the results from a hierarchical database query to make it compatible with another hierarchical database. Specifically, I'm parsing user created notes from a pipe-delimited CSV that was translated from the query result. Everything runs smoothly. I send my output to be processed through our batch system. Everything checks out as expected.

A couple blank notes throw exceptions, but I knew that was going to happen. Then suddenly, I read "Cannot create note with unprintable characters"
Okay?

Somehow this person had been able to type the Ash (æ) character and an accented A (à) this came from a system that didn't even support characters outside of alphanumerics. How?

I broke off a long term relationship recently and today I deleted the text conversation with my ex. With 13000 messages being deleted at once I managed to crash my texting app for a whole 10 minutes.

I always grew up with the "programmers are wizards" idea in mind. Of course, I understood it was just a joke. But on my first day in university I went to my first CS class... And my professor looked exactly like a wizard.

My girlfriend keeps dropping hints that I should commit, but I still haven't gotten around to learning to use git.

I'm not crazy. I just like talking to 127.0.0.1
