@tef I was such a person before many onhere were born. My eyes are burnt out, my hands are f'ed, I have a pinched nerve in my neck from years of hunching over a fucking terminal or laptop or pile of circuits or whatever, I've worked in every language that was current in the day, worked on "leading edge" stuff, helped create the fucking web at Lycos, blah blah blah blah.

You know what it got me? Fucking nothing. Work Won't Love You Back is not just the name of a book you should read, it is the fucking truth.

Don't be me. If any manager ever gushes over you, take this as a sign you're doing it wrong.
