Professional programmers

  1. Programming (in a corporate/professional setup) is one of the crappiest and most horrible jobs you can choose. The level of effort you have to put in and the stress on your physique and psyche is comparable to working on a marine platform. Not just any marine platform but a burning marine platform, because every day if it doesn't already burn in flames, all the shit is a spark away from exploding in your face.

    It pays, of course. By far not enough for how much it wears you out and at a level where compensation versus wear are sustainable on the long run.

    As bad as it is. People get paid a lot less for even crappier jobs.

  3. Don't argue with that.

    For me is the difference between living here:

  7. Right. Also congrats for finding out the source, makes me wonder how you did it. Wait, lemme guess, I'm a programmer afterall. It wasn't image recognition (but if I were to sell my skills on this I'd say it was) but I bet 99.98% on you looking at the the name of the picture I attached. Well done anyways!

  9. Not that it matters so much in the long run, but lemme disambiguate who we are.

    Who is I? Used one Hungarian friend of mine to joke.
