2 - “Real programmers don’t write application programs. They program right down on the bare metal. Application programming is for dullards who can’t do systems programming.” No, this isn’t something I wrote. It’s an article from the early 80s. No author noted. #programming

Found an old article named “Real Programmers Don’t Eat Quiche” “Real programmer’s don’t eat quiche. They like Twinkies, Coke, and plate-scortching Szechwan food.” Sounds about right. #programming

Reworking and enhancing bits of the plot. I hate this part of writing, but I know it will make the book a ton better. I’m growing. #writing #holmes #watson

Teachers are underpaid and underrated. #education

Happy Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor’s Porch Day Yes, it’s a thing.

Good morning. Stay focused. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

When you wonder if what you’re doing is worth it, or even if you know what you’re doing, don’t give up. You’ve just hit your limit. Questioning your abilities is how you learn to improve and surpass them. #life #success

Bring light into someone’s darkness. #life #success

Weekends are all too short. Even if they are hot and humid.

Time for a mango smoothie.

Guess I should fix the formatting. #nasa #iss

Back in my day people didn’t take “selfies”. They asked a stranger to take their photo. We have lost a social interaction. #life #society #failure

I’m tired of hearing Jimmy Buffet songs outside.

Life isn’t about taking yourself seriously. It’s about taking others seriously. #life #success

Sometimes you need to stand back, observe, and laugh.

When was the last time you ate a hot dog, not sausage or wurst? Me: probably a decade or more. #food

Just because you’re yelling doesn’t mean you are saying anything. #life #failure #character #writing

Anyone remember when Dogfish Head made decent beers? Ever since Sam Adams bought them, they’ve made poor to mediocre beers.

It takes a whole week to make seven days. What’s that mean? You’re short a day or two. #insult

Overheard: “compensate is a big word.” Stay in school, kids. No wonder the country is going into a sewer. #edication #failure
