    Replying to @NasheedWallace
    Yesterday I was walking to an interview. There was a starving dog on the road. I stopped to feed him & missed the interview. The next day I got a call asking to come in to do the interview. I was surprised, but I went. Then the interviewer came in. He was the dog.

    Whenever I meet someone and tell them Iā€™m a programmer, they always immediately assume Iā€™m super smart Guys, can we collectively try to make people understand coding is not difficult? It is literally googling and fixing bugs we caused in the first place Anyone can code

    I hate LinkedIn
    LinkedIn post: The other day, I interviewed a potential manager to work with my company. He requested to be paid $40 an hour to which I replied ā€œthe most I pay anyone initially is $20 until I can trust them.ā€ He then went on to tell me about his depth of experience and how he is not in the ā€˜try outā€™ face of his life anymore. Then he hung up. When I was 24, I worked 20-40 hours a week as an intern with no pay. I learned more than any high latent job could have taught me. Furthermore, my experience opened the door to so many incredible opportunities that I could not have gotten otherwise.

    You're not a junior developer. You're not a senior developer. You're a developer.
