If you don't consider this part of "writing code" then I don't want to run any of your code

If I can't read or even search it without creating an account then it's pretty useless as an information source. Same issue with Twitter and Instagram.

Americans sadly got there first and defined all the computer terms, that's why it's a TV programme but a computer program. I can deal with that though, helps distinguish computer things from real things!

It's good to have a professional confirming the experience we know and love

What, you don't like tabs and spaces being syntactically different?

Huh, that's actually more expensive than I'd have thought for a single bulb, even taking into account that you'd probably only be running it for a quarter of the time

Fortunately the company execs aren't the ones doing the hiring, and if they are then you probably don't want that job!

I think this is something a lot of people posting here don't get. You can be a programmer, make apps or games in your spare time, set your own goals and be your own boss, and that's great. Suddenly you get a "normal" job programming and you have you deal with customer requirements, business nonsense, and working as part of a team; that's being a software engineer. One isn't superior to the other, they are just different beasts.

Ah, the XCOM approach. Now you look after those variables and get sad when you have to delete them.

Tell your daughters that the olds on your weird internet group think that they're fucking legends!
