    1: You write your prose as sweeping generalizations that are utterly meaningless.

        I stopped reading after I read this at the beginning of the second paragraph:

        I spent over a decade earning a degree in computer science and thinking it was the career for me only to realize that it wasn’t

          I agree with Karel Čapek on this.

            A decade! In less than a decade I got a PhD in CS, never mind an ordinary degree!

            - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

                Interesting perspective. I compressed my four years of study into five years.

                  You probably tried to ZIP a RAR archive. It happens to the best of us. ;P

                    0. You spend more than 4 years to get a CS degree...

                      Actually, that's the #1 sign that you're meant to be a clickbait drivel writer. Lo and behold...

                      Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

                        In one night, I came home drunk and got the third degree.
