1. From Developer to Engineer
James Wonga
Old Fashioned
I suspect more people joined the military in the late 90s because they were asked to program web pages and they were like 'nope, I would rather be shot'.
I bet you there are more suicides in the world prorated to people having to decompile coffee script, than there are to almost anything else programming related.
My job as an engineer, is not to engineer, it is to create a product.
