A programmers certain something
My name is Coopz and I am a programmer.
I've been in this industry for the past 10 years and I have become a little jaded with this career path because I tend to code for my own business or whomever I am contracting to and always alone. I thought I was going nuts when I would insist on certain coding rules, like tabs.
Well, it isn't jsut me. I have to thank Rob for pointing out a few things that I very very true for us programmers
[..]I'm talking about those A+ people whom you would quit your job for to go start a company. And the the more I looked at what makes them so good, the more I realized they all share a handful of personality traits. Well, not exactly a handful, more like four.[..]
However there is one trait he has missed and this trait is the defining thing of any good, mediocre, or even poor programmer. That is the intake of large amounts of CAFFEINE. I don't drink tea or coffee so I am one of those programmers that inhale large amounts of fizzy sugar laced beverages.
Without this little drug hit I would not be able to function. I couldn't face a day of staring a monitor in the face and writing lines and lines of code that not many other humans can, or want to, understand.
So this is a call out to all my caffeinated friends, HERE'S TO CAFFEINE!!!
