“Programmers should be able to program!” program

Well, sad and true in the same time… It is an entertaining reading and one full of insights…

Maybe it’s just one of those reasons why software is getting more crappy, unreliable, insecure, etc.

The non-programming programmers

Mersi mult Andrei! E foarte interesant de citit.

"Be interested in programming, because it is fun. Make sure that it keeps being enough fun so that you will be willing to put in ten years."

Daca avea sa angajez eu, avea sa identific anume persoane din grupul de mai sus (60 min de discutie cu persoana data avea sa fie suficient pentru mine).

Dar la corporatii este convenabil sa angajeze "garbage".

Alte companii au asha nishte interviuri timpite ca dupa un HR meeting iti trece dorul si le zici "fuck off".

I'm a programmer, too. I work about twelve hours, just working and working everyday. and I sit there for the whole day led to have a pain in the back...
Maybe every programmer is just like you and me.
