This is why I have done the most YOSPOS thing and quit my job and went on welfare to live out the rest of my life smoking weed and watching anime and playing video games while you suckers slave and toil for me. I have won.

there is some old loving saying about comics, writing, drawing etc that you have thousands of bad ideas in your system and you have to just get on with writing them and developing them before you get close to being good at a thing

i have and continue to make thousands of loving mistakes because if anything, that's the only way i've found to write good software

the critical thing i learned is that good software is the software loved by its users.

it doesn't matter how cool or how elegant or how bug free your package is. it doesn't matter how great your test coverage is. software exists to serve people who will actually make the money somehow

the silver lining: if the audience is me, i can write the same package over and over and it is every inch as valid as the new hot thing on HN

Good points. I hope you're taking notes, Google, with your stupid redesigns for YouTube and Search.

Laziness is ingrained into the spirit of programming. Its why people program in the first place and that is embodied in our posting. Just an echo chamber of the same ideas and jokes over and over and I sure can't get enough of them. I just slap together random memes and ideas together as if I'm using an API. I can do this over and over but lol if u r an autist. But aren't we all.

So this is a throwaway because I simply feel stupid asking this.. either its a viable option or it's going to come across creepy/stalkerish and i'm not at all intending that. I'm simply a guy who's oblivious to dating stuff, never had a sister and not many friends in the world at the moment to get feed back on this so i'm turning to you.

Here ya go.. while doing the online dating thing I come across a profile that's unlike any profile i've come across before and really stands out... we're talking 5+ years of online dating here.

I send a message but 2 weeks go by and she hasn't been back online since earlier in the same day that i sent my message... I have never met this girl but know where she works... it's not the place you can just drop in and bump into her so creating a random-hapenstance is out.. but i'm curious would it be creepy or whatever to send this girl flowers and nudge her to get back online to find the message or try to connect with her that way?

You could spend half your time doing that and the other half just mashing together a minimally competent code and you would end up getting a raise.
