    "science" that only science I do is check that math still works, mostly, except in JS.

    Don't forget that the other 90% of what you do is keeping users from fucking up the data. Long live the data!

    I've heard a variation that is "Programming consists of 10% rigorous science, 20% ingenuity and inspiration, and the other half is trying to combine them both while avoiding dumb mistakes".
    Nice post!

    to me it is more of 95% knowing what I am supposed to do and 5% trying to convince myself to do it and stop looking at dumb shit around the office
