Data work builds character. Calvin's dad would agree.

Wanna do a series of youtube videos-"Will it launch?!" Where I open a variety of applications to see if they open. Outlook? Nope, not today.
The crappy TFS add in for PyCharm makes it seem like PyCharm is a problematic app that needs to close everyday. It's unfair.
Civic duty tweet of the day- Petition for hurrying up with the Purple Line- https://www.change.org/p/lawrence-hogan-approve-the-purple-line-without-delay
Social Tables must require every employee to get a twitter account. I think they have 100% participation rate.
@mistersql I admit, I wouldn't mind the length limits if corporate email was replaced by twitter.

There are more people in DC willing to call themselves a code monkey than a Fortran developer. Not good, I sort of wanted to learn Fortran.
All views are my own... and will soon be yours and my employers. It's just going to take time, persuasion and coercion.
Pet peeve of the day-mixed language accounts. You don't tweet to me in your second language-I won't tweet to you in Icelandic.Skilur þu mer?
@mistersql Create two accounts if you are bilingual, or only follow people who happen to speak Chinese, Hungarian and English, just like you

Does working in a job that requires a PMP in DC guarantee no more code writing, ever?
Would a solipsist ever pay attention to "other people"s pull requests or merge conflicts?
All the time I've saved by not compiling every few seconds has been lost to running inspections/lint and unit tests. #pythonproblems
Watched the Build 2015 videos. Now I want a Windows 10 phone.
People intuitively understand that ToS's are bull- unread and ignored, but a software specification is somehow different.
Deep Dive into http://ASP.NET 5 (Channel 9) https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2015/2-726 - Cross compile to all the .Nets! Yeah!
Introducing http://ASP.NET 5 (Channel 9) https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2015/2-687 I want to run a datacenter of raspberry pi's hosting aspnet
Okay. Now I just feel bad that I didn't get to go to //Build. I guess I'll be watching it on youtube & pretending to be wearing hololenses
@mistersql or is it \\Build

#talkpay I see all these west cost developers posting their salary, only 5 digits, with RE prices, that means they're homeless, right?
I suspected as much, http://stackoverflow.com was not written by humans http://stackoverflow.com/humans.txt
I'm younger than Amtrak.
Ah, no one is paying attention anyhow-I make $110k+good benefits-I could crank it up if I job hunted more often. DC rewards hoppers #talkpay
twitters is f'd up. Small people follow based on interests (sports, products) are followed based on connection (colleagues)
@mistersql So reciprocal communication lose out. And dead accounts. And poor coverages. Bah.

#talkpay compensation package = meaningful work + positive interaction w/coworkers + skill growth + some rent and food money and health ins
@mistersql employers think people are like most twitter accounts, bots who only care about getting enough pay to pay the electric bill.

My salary as a code monkey is mostly espresso from the break room. And bananas. #talkpay I can tell you my savings rate is 12% (thks mint!)
Where is the chimpanzee emoji? 🐒 🐵
@mistersql This emoji thing has got a monkey bias.

King Arther switched to CouchDB. Now he leads the Knights that Stand in a Circle. #nosql
@IKEACollegePark do you all have Grönsaksbullar in stock yet?
I forgot my umbrella. I think that is causing the rain in DC/Arlington . Sorry.
Good thing I like droids. 50% of my interactions on Twitter are with bots. Is C3PO here? R2D2?
I have to use TkInter. Should I (or anyone) learn Tcl? Well, this famous guy Richard Stallman, says no: http://vanderburg.org/OldPages/Tcl/war/0000.html #python
Always writing "Hello World", never getting an answer back. Developers are just looking for some interaction, never finding it.
Is the MS Edge browser IE inside?
@mistersql In fact it does. It is 2 browsers in one. Will clients/customers ask for support for the one that works like an old browser.

Humble architecture. It is so quiet about its intent, no one know WTF it is about. Fortunately specs are never missing or incoherent.
DCTech seems to also mean, ordinary businesses in DC that have a website.
Office is giving out free frozen froyo. The sherbert is so cold I'm going to get brain freeze and file for disability.
