Last week one of my clients looked over my shoulder and asked me if I was on the Darknet. I was just taking notes in Sublime Text.
A guy I used to work with told me to put the cap over the USB drive else it would catch a virus.
😂🤣 That's awesome 😂
My teacher actually told me something similar in high school.
Wow, that's sad 🙈
Many years ago when I still programmed in Assembler, we developed anti-virus software. One of the jobs I had to do was to debug viruses to see how they hooked into memory or files, find that address and then eliminate the threat. I tried to explain this to my mom. She stood there listening as if she knew exactly what I meant. About 2 weeks later when my wife and I visited my parents again, my mother, after having thought about this thing during the previous 2 weeks, asked me where I found the virus. "Was it in Johannesburg?" She had one reference for "address" and I had a totally different one!
Haha, I wonder what she thought "eliminate the threat" meant
... or "viruses" that "hooked into memory" 🦠🧠
PURGE.
So sweet of her to really think it through rather than not keeping any of it in memory because it was over her head. She loves you.
When I code in sunday / night, my girlfriend always once ask me,
"is it job? Do they pay you for late hours working?"
"No nobody pays me, I'm just learning, this just Open Source, I build something just to be share with others"
"So you're working for free?, What a waste of time"
I'm just smiling 😂 Open Source technologies are still blackhole for most people outside technology.
Your girlfriend is not wrong.
It's better to get work on open-source and getting paid for it while you are at work.
Smart companies understand that making time for learning is essential
I know that kind of conversations too. Most of these people understand if you explain that it's a great way to support other people while gaining experience and projects for your portfolio. 💪🏻
Yeah, I always explain to others to use the platform for good. Literalry we all on top of Open Source and Free Software. And we all need that constant on learning something, because tech are always changing.
"You are Software Developer, please fix my TV, it's having dark screen and remote is not working"
yeah, that really happens.
My wife once looked over at me coding and saw
class ComponentHolderOptionExtractor
. As programmers, this makes perfect sense, a longer but more descriptive name, but she thought the name was just ridiculous and hilarious. To this day, anytime she wants to pretend she understands coding, she'll throw out that word with a look of "I bet you don't understand it, but I do!"A few months after that, I refactored my app and generalized that class and renamed it to
ModularListOptionExtractor
. She'll never forgive me for killing off her belovedComponentHolderOptionExtractor
🤣Awesome story, thanks for sharing!
"I have a simple question."
"You know computers, right?!" and then all kinds of questions about fixing all kinds of things.
LMAO 😂
Once someone asked me, if I was hacking. I was writing an assignment with LaTeX.
😂 nice! Most people think you are a hacker if you have a text editor with a dark theme... And if you open a terminal and type
sudo apt update
, their eyes become like 👀I didn't even use dark theme 😂 But that is so true! Terminal with green font and 20% opacity, if you really want to show of 😂
and then they'll ask "whats wrong with your keyboard? I saw no text when you where entering your password"
"Hey, could you make a website for me? It's easy, right?"
