This happens when programmers try to explain evolution:

"How to exit the Vim editor?" hit 1,000,000 view milestone and a stackoverflow guy wrote a blog article about it with some neat facts. A good read imho.

Preface: As it was unpaid labor I won't count my school-internship in a games resell shop in which I was ordered to "program" a BDSM-Shop with MS Frontpage.

My first paid gig was back in 2006. I got booked to write the website of a new company by friends of the family. The problem was that the gig had to happen ~600km away from my home town. Back in 2006 it was far from common to own a laptop for young folks, which is why I packed my Pentium 4 HT "powerhouse" tower, my 15" TFT monitor, keyboard and mouse into a suitcase and took a bus. I not only had to write the website, but had to do all the Frontend and Design as well and was paid 400€. Hahaha what a deal. They are still using my logo btw.
Anyhow... I was like 17yo and the work experience was more valuable then the money anyways. Plus at the time 400€ weren't a bad payment either. After that it took 2 more years and half a dozen of boring jobs until I started earning money with programming again. I can't understand why I haven't started programming earlier. Especially considering the wage gap between the jobs I did and potential programming jobs. Guess you're always smarter afterwards.

Something I needed without even knowing, but finally realized today:

alias ls='ls --group-directories-first'

(mac-fags will need to brew coreutils and alias to gls instead)

All credits to that random guy on superuser (stackexchange). Make directories great again! 😇

It's so satisfying, when you can work without getting out of bed or even putting pants on. 😜

What almost made me quit: They still use SVN...

Aaaand until recently, some parts of their framework had to run on Java 1.5...

Meh... The only magazine for us lazy folks.

I wish this was not true.
