The evolution of a coder
-
As I've matriculated as a coder I've noticed several watershed moments in my development of the craft. It has to do with what I typically swear at. Over the years, I've gone from primarily swearing at the languages for not having what I want To primarily swearing at the compiler for not doing what I want To primarily swearing at my IDE and toolchains for breaking :)

I honestly hate that interview question. I like to keep my options open. The best parts of life can be the parts I didn't expect. When I was 17 I was homeless and I didn't see myself at Microsoft at 18. There I was. I don't plan out my life. Living is for closers. :)

Over the years? ..swearing at the PC. Swearing at the wife. Swearing at an empty fridge (shortly after the previous)

I've always found it amusing how people imagine Microsoft employees in business suits. It's more like pink hair, blue hair, mowhawks, nose rings mixed with regular people from all over the world and from all walks of life. Even have full size kegs of beer in some of the buildings. :-D

Beer and pizza fridays. Nobody cared that I wasn't 21. :laugh: ETA: I totally identify with Cameron from Halt and Catch Fire. She was a woman after my own heart.

- Get Coffee 1) Start coding project A 2) Eat breakfast 3) Start design project B 4) Get coffee refill 5) Layout schematic for project C 6) Finish filling in Green drain field that was created over last 3 days. (Yay can washes dishes and laundry again) Old drain field lasted a year, was under designed so refacotred. :) 7) Eat lunch 8) Read chapter book A 9) Coffee refill 10) Read chapter book B 11) Try to remember where I was on project A and why it's not working...debug between swearing seasons. 12) Bang head repeatability 13_ Investigate proposed QUICK project for better half and decide it's going to be anything but quick but start it anyway. 14) Eat supper 15 Watch a little Netflix 16) Go to bed exhausted wondering why in the hell I didn't get anything accomplished.

My list has expanded to: Swearing at the .NET Framework Swearing that 3rd party API's Swearing at JavaScript Swearing at TypeScript The only reason that swearing at front-end "frameworks" is not on the list is because I was doing so much swearing I decided it's simpler, better, faster, easier and frankly safer to not use any. Occasion swearing at jqWidgets, which is the only front-end UI library I use. It's awesome until it isn't, but even then it's better than the rest of the shyte out there (granted, I haven't worked much with Telerik or DevExpress, because I don't want to buy into ASP.NET, which would be more swearing.)

I'm simple folk. I just swear at Microsoft for screwing with developers in the last 10+ years.

You've still got ways to go before you're at my level. I'm primarily swearing at myself for my solution from last year :laugh: All in all I'm just swearing a lot.

She will not! Because Codewitch code is perfect right of the bat as soon as finished at day 8,845. Before that it is still in progress, so imperfections are fine and replaced by obsessive compulsive progressively minute improvements... ;P

I can surely attest to the IDE part. No MDI code windows without getting into a fistfight with the IDE. No built in user recorded macros, had to find an add-on. I could go on...

Hm, for the first 15 or so years of my career I was an assembly language programmer (embedded engineer). Really couldn't swear at the language or the assembler. There was no IDE so no swearing there. After C/C++ became a viable option for embedded work, I was able to swear at the IDE's (mostly the debugger). Over all in my career, most of my swearing has been at management.
