It’s impossible to make a good picture of it. But it’s a very very cool effect! It will be more exciting, when the sun shines again in about three or four months!
I wanted it to be gay, but not everything can be gay, sorry!
Very few in IT document because they like to is my experience
When I was a baby programmer in diapers, I was taught this mantra
Truth first
Beauty second
Efficiency third
Truth - it has to work. Beauty - documentation which includes comments in the code. Efficiency - clean it up. I’ve been teaching that to kids for ages, and still live by it. But documentation comes in second
We worked 7M € project once, agile, of course.
The team was expensive, arrogant, self organized.
They thought all existing technical solution s#ck, so they developed everything themselves.
Requests for documentation were laughed at. Operational documents non-existent, cause: coolest UI ever!
After having no real result the complete team was fired or set into positions where they quit themselves.
When we wanted to reactivate the project, it was impossible to get the system working, let alone develop it further.
The code was unreadable - cause almost no comments.
In the end we had to buy an off-the-shelf product. It costs only a few 100k€ … and works perfectly to this day!

I wish that you’d live near me. Not only I could hang out with your girlfriend at the strip club, you and I can do lots of project together, I bet within 24 hrs you could get all my power tools and CNC as well as my Aspire 12 running. We could even make our own custom bass.
You and I could eventually make some money selling bass parts,
Also, I could eat your delicious dishes!!!
But making money is your thing - I’m just here (on earth) for the fun of it!
But yeah, that would be really great.
Actually, I planned to move to California, many years ago … but San Francisco!
I kind of fell in love with California … but I decided against it for reasons I won’t mention here
You know me … want to understand EVERYTHING, so sure I would try to get on expert level with all your tools.
My girlfriend goes to anything that promises fun (she was the one that got me in to my first and last strip club in Las Vegas … but if I want lightly dressed girls on my lap, I’d rather go to a techno club in Germany. It’s cheaper … and I know the girls are doing stuff cause of me :-))
My girlfriend will drink you under the table though, be prepared! She must have Russian DNA
I am thinking about this more and more. I even started to look at public places to do just that. We have kind of socialist projets here, with tools and all.
You haven’t missed anything, really!
Again, I was in one strip club only, apparently one of the best (and very expensive). There were two spaces: one for horny men and one for female bachelor parties (also horny).
After spending some depressing time at that horny men area, I joined my gf to the other part … kind of a strange Magic Mike thing.
I was the only man in the audience, so it was big fun with all the chicks!
Everything happening on stage was very oily and awkward…
Somehow I left all oily and glittery, but that might be cause of all the bachelor girls taking it out on me
My reservations are not about being prudish (oh no!), it’s about sex as a commercial thing. It’s like a drive in with nude people.
I prefer the honesty of a techno club
See, this is the nice thing about my hometown. The strip clubs all compete on food, and rather famously some of the best steaks in town are at the strip clubs.
Not even joking, it’s common knowledge for natives and even gets reported on.
It’s ok. I can’t explain Portland to anyone, especially Europeans. My best suggestion would be to watch all of Gus Van Sant’s films. A true native son, his works are basically Portland documentaries, especially Drugstore Cowboy and My Own Private Idaho.
Chuck Pahlaniuk, the writer of Fight Club, is another native.
For PDX, the thought process from “I want a good steak” to “We should go to a strip club” is perfectly normal. I can’t explain it.
