Can’t believe some of you chose writing software as an entire career. Pure masochism. Every time I have to touch code I think about how we’ve handed over the future of the world to people who clearly hate themselves.

Environment setup and maintenance is the worst. It’s like the “process shoe box of receipts” part of taxes. You guys even call it “containers.” Missing driver? Missing big receipt your CPA bugs you got. Misconfig? Your CPA telling you “you can’t deduct that”

This is especially how I felt when, after a few years away, I got back into coding and learned Rails. Literally just filling out forms. “Programming is poetry,” I heard Alan Perlis say, and I majored in CS. But it was more like Mad Libs.
