    They claimed to be damaged all throughout the complaint, yet didn't provide any evidence. Imagine explaining this to someone non-technical like your grandmother. You can make up a …

    The code change was requested by an employee and it wouldn't have caused any damage. Feature, not a bug. Imagine trying to explain this to someone who doesn't know what "code" is. …

    I told that to the Plaintiff, I'd just file bankruptcy, although they said they would still be able to garnish my wages. I assume the lawyer was not telling the truth, but you neve…

    They claimed it was an attempt to sabotage their company, yet they were the ones that asked me to make the change, jesus, FML. Definitely learned my lesson on how important it is t…

    Got sued by my previous company for a line of code that they asked me to change. Luckily I had proof that they asked me to modify that line of code. If I didn't, well, I'd owe them…

    Although all open offices aren't necessarily circular in shape, the design theory behind the Panopticon[1] and open offices are eerily similar. "The building circular—A cage, glaze…

    Tell your boss to give you a $10,000 bonus or you quit.

    Because women are smart. The women I've worked with claim ignorance to programming, have no desire to learn programming, and give me a mile high task list of things to do. Then the…

    I don't think you can judge quality until you're actually employed. The best looking jobs on the surface turned out to be some of the worst jobs I've ever worked. There's a lot of …

    I've found that the more time I spend doing low level code at my job, the less work they think I'm doing. The more you email and be at your desk, the harder they think you're worki…

    I wish the library was open 24/7. What's up with it only being open during working hours?

    Oddly enough, the only somewhat successful project ($20k/month peak passive income) I've ever had was when I didn't know how to code. I spent all my time on marketing and built the…

    My brother switched to Dvorak. He types the same speed as he did on Qwerty but now he can't use other people's keyboards and people can't use his computer. He admits it was a mista…

    What if you enjoy the daily actions? Or initially dislike them but get in the habit of liking them? Why does there need to be progress towards some goal? I've identified drawing as…

    I think how you do something is more important than what you actually do. People focus so much on the what, when the process is something where you can learn about yourself and app…
