The Ultimate PTO Optimization Strategy

Content Mads Brodt madsbrodt 01 Aug When we work as developers, we're not paid to code. We're not paid to use different languages and frameworks. We're paid to solve problems - for businesses and users. Code just happens to be an efficient tool to reach that goal.

The eternal struggle of being the tech person at a social gathering.

Ah yes, the classic university delusion where professors think coding on dead trees somehow prepares you for real development. Nothing says "industry-ready" like frantically scribbling syntax errors you can't compile, while the real world uses IDEs with autocomplete, Stack Overflow, and the sweet embrace of copy-paste. Four years of education and somehow they missed the memo that programmers haven't coded on paper since punch cards went extinct. But sure, let's pretend your handwritten bubble sort algorithm without syntax highlighting is preparing the next generation of tech innovators.
