blog - keeping things in perspective
posted by witten on August 28, 2008
Here's a video that looks almost as if the creators went through Coderific looking for choice quotes and then wrote them on cardboard signs for developers to hold by the side of the road: http://develop-one.net/blog/2008/08/27/HugADeveloper.aspxWhile the video is quite amusing, it does, whether intentionally or not, put things in perspective. You may have a crappy coding job in a crappy company with a crappy boss and crappy schedules. BUT at least you're not actually on the street without a home, a job, or a family, asking for handouts.This isn't to say that you should be perfectly content working in a crappy organization. Rather, while you're struggling to improve your lot in your cushy programming job, occasionally you should think about those people whose best day is no better than your worst.
