		shoo on July 16, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Eddiots A lot of Ed's writing will resonate if you've served as a programmer in an enterprise environment for a tour of duty or two. I found reading Ed's writing therapeutic while going through culture shock of working in an enterprise non-tech megacorp for the first time. There's a lot of hard-won wisdom & business & career advice, as well as the humour. The classic: https://edw519.posthaven.com/it-takes-6-days-to-change-1-lin... "It Takes 6 Days to Change 1 Line of Code" This one explains the arc of my career more than I'd prefer to admit: https://edw519.posthaven.com/willie-sutton-would-be-an-enter... "Willie Sutton would be an Enterprise Programmer"

Thank you, shoo, for this blast from the past. I had forgotten all about those. Hmmm, maybe another comic or two?

This triggers so many memories.
