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.
