DgarThe only thing flat-earthers have to fear, is sphere itself.
Simon TathamEveryone always wants to say worthy things about the qualities that make a good programmer. But I occasionally think that "a sense of humour" isn't given enough credit.
In programming, you're constantly making mistakes, and being told you're wrong (by code reviewers, bug reporters, and the computer itself). If you let that get you down, you'll quickly find another career.
When I realise I've made a mistake, my reaction is often to find it amusing – smile a bit, maybe laugh out loud, share it with a friend if it's funny enough.
I can't remember how I got that attitude in the first place. Perhaps just luck. But I sometimes think it's the main reason I stuck with what would otherwise be a frustrating profession!
Mike Stone@BasicAppleGuy I started a new job not long after Y2K. A friend of mine was already working there. New Years Eve, 1999 the whole IT team was required to work, "just in case". They were all gathered right outside the server room watching the ball drop. Midnight approached, and they started their countdown. 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... and at the stroke of midnight, my friend turned off the overhead lights. There were people that were still angry with him for it when I joined the team months later.

Why does storing two-factor authentication codes in your password manager make sense? - Andy Grunwald
Modern login systems require a second factor (2FA) to log in, in addition to the standard username and password combination. A Time-based one-time password (TOTP) as a 6-digit number is often used. Password managers like [1Password](https://1password.com/), [KeePass (or respective forks)](https://keepass.info/) and others offer the ability to store (and generate) the 2FA TOTP. For a long time, I was asking myself: *Why is it recommended to have a Username, Password, and 2FA in the same storage (like 1Password)? Isn't this against the basic idea of a second factor (regarding the storage places to gain access to)?*

Ninjimy new burger restaurant concept is inspired by modern software. the options for mayo are "yes" and "maybe later", and if you pick maybe later, the chef stands at your table with a squeezy bottle, threatening to add mayo to your burger when you least expect it
Gadfly (-booq-)I was talking with one of the old ladies in shul about how, when she was a younger programmer, when she finished and checked over a subroutine she would strap her punchcards to the back of her motorcycle to go test it,
and I think it's nice to know and be able to keep that perspective of, like, I don't need to worry about how cool I am or try to be because I will never be that cool.
