So many of the great software engineers I consider fantastic "software architects" share this one thing: They build (throwaway) prototypes to prove their point / showcase their ideas. A lot! So much easier to reason about concrete code than abstract ideas.

The most productive dev I work with on a day to day basis is named Bill. He is a typical 8-5 type of dev. If he was told to be “hardcore” and work long hours he would refuse and we would be screwed. Good devs aren’t always the ones to stay late and drink energy drinks.

12 years ago, Twitter’s office used a Mac Mini to tunnel into the servers. One day, an IT guy found it in the closet. “Anyone know who owns this?” “Unplug it. Someone will show up.” Everyone lost access to servers. Huge crisis. It became known as the “Load Bearing Mac Mini.”

Was just watching a video going through some the things used in elections they brought up that they are storing votes ... as a *floating point?!* Who could possibly have thought this was a good idea?!

Surprised I just saw a TV ad for @EmpowerToday. All I remember about them were shady sounding advisors and absurd fees once you read the paperwork. Employer match is the only way it's worth it.

I wish @dotnet would just create a PDF manipulation framework in the .NET Framework itself. It's an open standard and the libraries that exist now are all terrible. /cc @terrajobst

I can handle FSU losing, goodness knows we’ve done enough of that lately, but if I hear these announcers make one more joke about FSU players needing to drink Gatorade I’m gonna lose it.

Why programmers like cooking: You peel the carrot, you chop the carrot, you put the carrot in the stew. You don’t suddenly find out that your peeler is several versions behind and they dropped support for carrots in 4.3
