Six years ago I quit my last full time dev job, moved to the big city, failed some startups, got job offer as a substitute teacher at the local high school, been doing that ever since.

Being a teacher and following a class over 2-3 years is like having a company with employees whom you have to teach everything, but if you teach them good they can become useful quite quickly.

This year I have taken on a "special" class where many have learning disabilities but some are literal geniouses.

Very hard to lecture about something that grabs all of their attentions.

So if you have any good tips that is more than welcome.

Also I kinda forgot about this app for many years but I remember we used to have a really good community here, so nice to be back here.

Looks like meat is back on the menu boooooois

I just made this up but it seems true

There are only two ways 2 people can disagree about making a decision

One is if a person has more (or less) knowledge about the subject

The other is they both have sufficient information about the factors of the decision, but one person simply values a different set of principles than the other person

Have a good day

When your program is a complete mess but does its job

Everytime I get angry and frustrated in front of the computer, I simply take a deep breath and go buy a new icemat.

I was a little bit tired this morning, so obviously I pulled a sick day.

What do you mean you sent a fucking mail about it? Theres a reason we have case systems with case fucking numbers. Its so that we can keep track of different customers, which is crucial for day to day operations. You retarded fucking fuck.

I'm gonna start a software company and cleverly split up the work into pieces so that I can present them to potential employees as "coding challenges" during the interview and never actually hire them.

Turns out my 4chan image scraper has been running for 6 months without interruptions. I now have 106k pictures and webms of highly questionable content on my harddrive. This is how Oppenheimer must have felt.

It was like 9/11 at work this morning. Someone had clicked a link yesterday that recursively encrypted our entire file system. Thank god for backups.

Stop being "smart" and trying to forsee every future problem, be naive, cynical, and get the job done.

What do you call a gay programmer?

A backend engineer

That moment when your software has been running so smoothly for the past few months that you have to start intentionally introducing bugs in patches to avoid unemplyment #yolo

Programmers of today are like the monks of the middle ages. We use a language that people don't understand, we spend all our time sitting in a room reading, and people constantly ask us for advice but never really listens to the answer.

I resumed a screen session to check why my script had stopped, then this happened

15 years ago my dad taught me that when you send an email, you type all of the content

I'm a django/web developer looking to learn some front end techniques like angular or node. anyone interested in learning some backend for teaching some frontend? is this allowed to do here?

anyone else feel like the more you learn about programming, the more you develop autism?

life as the only dev at work:

boss: so the new system is finished now right?
me: its finished enough for people to log in and test it
boss: so its finished?
me: .... suuure

its 15:30 and people are finally leaving... time to get some work done

There are only two types of people in this world; those who use flux and those who dont.

whats your biggest aha-experience learning about programming? mine was probably finally realizing what an orm does and how it eliminates your need need to write sql manually

10 programmers walk into a bar, they both order a beer

devrant feels like 9gag for smart people

I need a woman that cooks, cleans and writes javascript so I dont have to deal with that shit.

that feeling every time you have to override a parent function and call super in python
