I came to my sister's husband, programmer, and asked him for a book to learn how to program. He gave me a giant tome (probably to scare me out) and I read it page by page doing all the tasks. For me it was like a magic, I couldn't believe that I can write something in the notepad and then see computer do stuff because I told it to do so.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
-Douglas Adams

A wise man once said.. Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.

Give me some space will you ffs

Because,
Things in motion tends to stay in motion, while things at rest tends to stay at rest.

Never treat your users/client as they are dumb, never forget that they are, in fact dumber.

Do not drink and drive.

You don't need a MacBook to be a (better) coder

Guys try installing Termux. Its Linux for Android. It comes with its own version of Apt package manager. Using this opens up alot of possibilities ;)

People that don't know what you do, think you're just a lazy introvert that sits on the computer all day

My boyfriend.

He's an amazing software developer, has a few more years of experience with me, and because he's not a colleague, I feel comfortable asking him dumb questions. Combined with his patience and willingness to explain things very thoroughly, it's helped my post college learning immensely.

I love that I can cook him dinner, and then go to him with a code smell that I found at work, and spend the meal discussing ways to make cleaner code. I'm not sure who the real winner is in that situation. Probably my employer, haha.

When I accidentally double tap on someone's rant.

Class: And this is how you do a Hello World program in C.

Exam: Explain where this pointer of a pointer of a pointer of a pointer is pointing

Somewhere in that code there's a
"TODO learn regex"

When your rant only gets a +1 and it's from dfox 😄

When you get lazy about learning new stuff...

I realized this is like a marriage and I'm not spontaneous enough anymore.

So... when's rantCon?

Let's face the truth: 1

Never look at your computer when it's compiling, it can sense you and it becomes more prone to errors.

#CompilerConspiracy

"I would like to change the world, but they won't give me the source code!" - source unknown

What my lecturer think I have learned:
- Programming Patterns
- C, C++, Java
- Socket programming, web programming
- Operating system...

What I have actually learned:
1. printf("Hello World");
2. echo "Hello World";
3. console.log("Hello World");
4. Console.Writeline("Hello World");
5. cout << "Hello World" >> endl;
6. System.out.println("Hello World");
7. puts "Hello World";
8. "Hello World"
9. write("Hello World");
10. Display "Hello World"

The beast has been assembled. I can now finally game...ehm develop all day

'your computer is doing something weird come home'

'i can't, everyone is being evacuated because of the hurricane'

'....it's trying to install windows 10'

Me:

Never ask a woman about their age.

Never ask a man about their wage.

Never ask a dev about their bugs.

I like ` main() ` a lot.. it kinda makes things work
