No, definitely not. But you could certainly get a few others together, start a band, play some gigs, maybe even make a little bit of money.

Thank you. I was reprimanded once for essentially "only" being at the office for the defined time we agreed I would be there. I spent some time racking my brain until I decided I wasn't being unreasonable.

I guess I'd just like the distinction that not living and breathing code doesn't equal a lack of passion. I'm passionate about programming. Can't say I ever was about washing dishes. They were both jobs, though, and when I get off work, there are other things I want to do.

I was wondering the other day: is it possible to enjoy coding, be good and employable, and still leave your work at work? I code at home too, but yeah, other passions take priority. You rarely hear about programmers who don't live and breathe code, but there must be a huge number of them.

That scene had a pretty big impact on me as a kid. Here was a movie with time traveling assassin robots, but that scene always seemed totally believable and possible. I think about it a lot, for whatever reason.

This is truly one of the coolest things I've seen in a while. I can't help but think of the little Atari Portfolio John Connor has in Terminator 2.

I played for a minute or two, said "Huh," and closed the tab. Sure feels like I won.

I think I addressed that in my comment. The article is a little about emoji, and I addressed that too.

Seems neat, and I appreciate the forward-thinking mentality. But, as far as I am aware, emoji are a fad and won't really stand the test of time anyway. Either way, I guess, it's nice to see these easy-to-use, easy-to-create principals in play.

I believe a copy of that book came with my Gamecube preorder, all those years ago. It's a great book, easy to read, very interesting.
