Fuck coffee, swap that with food or just water or something, then it’s right for me.
Actually I work much better with Coffee, Salary and NO internet. Because I’m bound to spontaneously go research the intricate details of some completely unrelated bullshit if I have access to the internet
“Oh neat you can directly call operators in R? <web search> Oh wait, these functions are actually lambda’s then. <web search> Wait, I can delay their execution too? <web search> Hang on… is R actually Lisp? <deep web search>”
Poor man’s fully funded training.
You know those links on the right sidebar of stack overflow? Those things are evil, yet awesome.
actually, i believe the top two should be switched.
at least that is what my perception is of people who drink coffee vs people who don’t drink coffee.
but it does make sense in the sense that the pictures represent someone who is already addicted to coffee, which feels like must be a majority of programmers hahaha
Coffee seems to be a self enforcing meme at this point. It’s not unhealthy enough to have suffered the same fate as cigarettes. Which had pretty much the same jokes not too long ago.
I’m glad the team who programmed the early Internet had the Internet, otherwise we wouldn’t have any Internet.
bootstrapping problem.
From what I’ve heard they really did have lots and lots of books like in the comic. And were jealous of colleagues that had even more.
Before the books, the world of computing was small enough you probably picked stuff up by having a personal relationship with the other people using that specific mainframe, and the vendor of the mainframe. Before that, you were on the team that build the experimental electronic computer for your institution anyway. And then there’s Conrad Zeus, I guess.
В конце - Линукс. Linux at the end.
