   I have been a professional programmer for 44 years and have NEVER had "job market anxiety". Why? Because I sincerely believe that there is zero correlation between the job market and my ability to find work. I don't pay atten

   Thanks, Mister_Snuggles, for reminding me I'm not the only one left. I HAVE to code in PICK. "Unless it comes out of your soul like a rocket, unless being still would drive you to madness or suicide or murder, don’t do it." -

    Finally, by far, most people hate Scrum with passion. I got so tired of hating Scrum with passion, that I pulled a 179 and wrote a comic book about it. In your honor for your courage and honesty, adrianmsmith, it's free, today only.

    Nice catch, ExtraRoulette! You're the first to notice. This project is new. My plan was to write a "comic generator", where I would just input parameters and it would generate the comics. It worked even better than I expected

    Thanks mda, for the great feedback. (The greatness of feedback is not correlated with its positivity or negativity.) I sort of anticipated this. I wrote the comic below just for times like this. Please stay in touch and let me know if any o

    Thanks, andersrs! I added a "Show SVG Markup" button toward the bottom of every page so you can see how I did it. This may be a little less overwhelming for some people that View Page Source.

    Fixed. Sorry about that. Please try again and let me know. It's Sunday. I should be drinking beer and watching sports but I'm married to my fantasy project so these things happen. I didn't think rss was important any more. Th

    Thank you, romwell. reddit is a strange bird these days. I never know what to expect. I like it because I can post the art right in the thread, not like my feeble attempt here (below). eddiots is way more fun. https://news.ycombi
