Old. I've thrown monitors across the office, broken phones (landline), been moved across the office. It's part of the process. I've learned to control and use. Flow is a rare - but a beautiful thing you have to earn.
I've got three cats, one little girl with a violent past, I was sure several times that she would kill herself in various ways (including having 7 Kittens at 5 months old). 18 years later her every single day has been complete indulgence and she expects it! She changed from being an indoor cat 2 years ago into 'bush girl' and she's never looked better. The point being, as long as your cat is super happy. Enough.
I've told you guys before - my 10 year old son scored 'well above average' on their interview process. We live in the UK but they are still trying to recruit him. And no - he cannot write code.
My son has seen this post and points out that he not only uses unreal engine - to my complete surprise (and not just a little delight) - he has deployed some c++. I sent him to bed because it's late. Dad;s will know why.
The BBC is awesome in many ways but this 'travel' show is such bollocks it's amazing. They tourist like a MF instead of doing the Bourdain and actually speaking to people who live there.
EDIT: actually rather than interview I would like to stress
Rock on mate - I came from the same place 40 years ago. But. no language is ever complete for me unless I canz Space Invader. I guess your now onto lisp? Do the Space Invader first in your Forth.
Chuck is a god.
I found out about Lisp a year before Forth! Working through SICP, watching the lectures and of course writing lots of Scheme programs have really helped me improve.
But it's weird. It's almost never useful at implementation. It's like Chuck and the guy from TLA+ say. The important thing is just asking THE question. Props to ADA Lovelace for basically inventing that.
