My thought process whenever I stumble across security flaws in systems:
Me: Oh man, I could totally use this to do some damage.
Other Me: No! You shouldn't take advantage. Just report it.
Me: But reporting it takes eeeffooooorrrtttt.
Other Me: Well, I guess if you're too lazy to report it, you're also too lazy to exploit it.
Me: Yeah. Though I mean, I doubt I'll be the only one to find it. Someone else might take advantage.
Other Me: You're right! You should report it.
Me: Easy for you to say, you're speaking in 2nd person!
Other Me: What does that have to do with it?! Report it. Just treat it like any other bug that bothers you.
Me: I don't report bugs. Too much effort.
Other Me: Just report it!
Me: Fuck you, you do it.
Other Me: Why the hell would I do that? I don't even bother reporting bugs.
This what programming on Adderall is like.
Linux + Electric Guitar + (1/4th inch to 1/8th inch cable) + rakarrack = AWESOME.
I mean. Right. Programming. Yes. Not playing with neat stuff.
This assumes you care how people think you look.
If you actually are carefree, you don’t really care if people think you are or aren’t.
I just deleted 48 lines of code I spent 3 hours on last night.
And replaced them with three lines that do a much better job.
With the Feynman method, problem solving is as easy as 1, 2, 3!
1. Look at the problem.
2. Think *really* hard.
3. Write down the solution.

Coding in alternations of ‘calmly focused’ and ‘Oh God what the fucking fuck this is going into production in 3 days!’
Fun fact
pretending some people aren’t assholes won’t actually make them stop being assholes.
Not being assaulted is not a privilege to be earned through the judicious application of personal safety strategies. A woman should be able to walk down the street at 4 in the morning in nothing but her socks, blind drunk, without being assaulted, and I, for one, am not going to do anything to imply that she is in any way responsible for her own assault if she fails to Adequately Protect Herself. Men aren’t helpless dick-driven maniacs who can’t help raping a vulnerable woman. It disrespects EVERYONE.

Exactly! And people should be able to walk down the street with hundred dollar bills loosely taped to their jacket without fearing their money might get stolen! No one is a helplessly self interested asshole and obviously everyone should just respect that there’s some stuff they shouldn’t take from other people even if they would like to and it would be easy! So c’mon guys! Let’s all ignore game theory and play under some set of rules we pretend everyone else will follow!

Considering I’m working on a resource scheduling / calendar program, you’d think I’d have a better idea of the current date.
I took crushed dextroamphetamine sulfates an hour ago
and am now drinking coffee, smoking a cigarrette, and inhaling nicotine infused vegetable glycerine vapor.
Perhaps I’m becoming a bit dependent on stimulants.
Whatever though dude man guy. I have to finish a shit ton of shit tons by Friday.
The hardest thing known to man is homogenius
That’s not a misspelling. I’m talking about horny Alan Turing.
Sometimes I consider writing a list of things that are fundamentally wrong about our post-secondary education system but I quickly realize THERE’S NOT ENOUGH PAPER
Yeah! And also I can’t write!
