I went the nicotine lozenge route to kick tobacco. Been on those for a couple years now 😂

Yeah....

Fuck windows update.

😂

perl is a write-only language.
Powerful, fast, but heaven help you if you have to support perl scripts you didn't write.

Next time, just use the bin! Save yourself a trip to the wash room!

First program was a wacky-mad-lib-type thing written in QBasic.

Benchmarks.

Compare their implementation against yours. If your code has a smaller memory footprint, and executes faster, they'll be more inclined to give a reason why they insist on the change.
Sometimes it's something like "this is done this way to conform to our internal style guidelines "
Or, they'll say, "oh shit, you're right. Your way -is- superior "

OpenCV is the shit. 🍺

Obvious solution:
Create entire email as on massive jpg. Convert jpg into ascii art. Paste into email.

Try saying "no."

Seriously.

Clients may get butt hurt from time to time, but if expected delivery is several weeks out, asking for a preview of the final product in a couple days is equal parts abusive and stupid.

Bungee it to the roof!

That person will likely try it again. My advice is this:
There are two rules to live by when working with a vampire:

1 - never disclose everything you know

Sex.

You'll never go wrong with the gift of carnal knowledge

I code because of my god complex

My last job was at a big corporation. Being a night owl shouldn't have helped, but all the fucking daytime meetings meant we only got to work after marketing and sales went home. 😂

I certainly hope you don't use an IDE. Can't use something that developers made. 😂

Use a linked list, all heap, man.

Floating points'll fuck ya if you're not paying attention. Curious about the whole " - 0.0" thing though.

And no one will understand why it takes 2 years to fill the role. 😂

@illusion466 I've solved more than one line-ending-related bug thanks to that notepad++ feature

VSLAM

It's what I did for my capstone project.
Machine vision + robots. I miss that project

Spay and neuter your bugs.

Yup. I scribble and doodle flowcharts/pseudocode for pages before touching my IDE.

Fuck whoever wrote that. With their keyboard (only yank off the caps key, first).

Yeah, it's pretty sweet

Shady ass cheating robot.

Wanna see my python?

I found (and married) someone who is my complete opposite!
I'm INTJ, she's ENFP. I'm a cave-dwelling programmer, she's a super-social sales rockstar.
But we balance each other out, and fill one another's weaknesses.
Despite our differences, we just 'get' each other.

Before her, absolutely, dating was a nightmare. I'd basically given up. Most of the females I'd dated before her complained that I was:
-strange (one even said creepy!)
-too withdrawn
-didn't talk enough
-autistic (I'm not, and if I was it shouldn't be a -bad- thing)
-too plugged in

Just keep in mind that those of us who are drawn to programming -are- a little (or sometimes a lot) odd. It really does take someone with a few quirks of their own to 'get' us. Also means dating can be a trial.

Good luck!
