To me THIS is the most stressful part of the whole thing.

I like programming but I have other hobbies I find fulfilling, and nothing stops me from programming with a pen and paper.

The bad vibes are not caused by lack of programming, they're caused by headsman sharpening his axe behind me.

A few lucky programmers will be elevated to God status and we're all fighting for those spots now.

Not everyone gets a seat at the starship.
