The Two States Of Programmer Evolution

Behold the TRAGIC transformation that awaits us all! Start coding as a hobby?

Two black holes that have seen the darkest depths of legacy code. The professional coder doesn't even have TIME to grow a proper beard anymore - that's what happens when deadlines eat your soul for breakfast!
