Coding is like running a marathon.

Sometimes you to run in circles, run 3 steps back, fall, forget how to run, cramps, walk, take a break, no idea how long to the finish line, asking for directions, following others, tired.

But in the end, you will feel so proud of yourself.

@TheJackForge Nope. Twitter to X is worst.
Also any domain with the word "therapist" came make people mentally read it with a space after "the" 😅

@ccatherall15 My manager was nice enough to also schedule a meeting so that we can go out to see it. Unfortunately, too cloudy. I didn't see anything. Some of my friends got lucky to see it between the clouds.

FYI, today many managers are given instructions to keep an eye on who goes "away" or offline during the eclipse.

But I will still step outside to see the eclipse. I never experience one. Unfortunately looks cloudy in Toronto.

If LEGO were more affordable, all developers would probably not need to talk to a rubber duck.

On the flip side, the Worst day to scroll YouTube. All clickbait

The only time I enjoy seeing what brand's content is during April Fool's Day.

Good marketing, companies having fun, the chance to market a product that could be a real product, but it flops, then it's easy to say it was for April fools.

[Justin @JJAllenTech]

@brianbud_ Google should only ever announce products on April Fool's Day.

[Brian Bud 🇨🇦 @brianbud_]

@JJAllenTech Oh man. You are so right. I was really hoping Google Stadia to still exist.

[Brian Bud 🇨🇦 @brianbud_]

@LifeRecoded Any interesting one that more people should know exist? For me, one of my relative got a job as a "tea taster"

[Brian Bud 🇨🇦 @brianbud_]

Let's forget about money and status.
It's beautiful and crazy to think there are Sooo many interesting and unique job titles out there that we never heard about.

[Brian Bud 🇨🇦 @brianbud_]

People see Software Engineers like DJ's.

To everyone, you are using other people's work, not creating anything original, just pressing some buttons and doing nothing.

Noone understand it.

[Brian Bud 🇨🇦 @brianbud_]

Good programmers don't even use the mouse.
but how you say?
Obviously using the joystick.

@damimoonbb @TheJobfather__ Yea I get what you mean, but hopefully they get more than what their country pays for the same job even if it's not US rates.

Imagine all the digital nomads in Thailand getting paid based on where they live, not for the company they work for 😬😅

World Happiness Report 2024:

1. Finland
2. Denmark
3. Sweden
4. Iceland

They probably outsource all their JavaScript developers.
