The way I feel about recruiters these days that conversation would have gone on a lot longer and ended with me never, ever having any chance of her trying to place me in any job.
Immanentize the Eschaton!

I think our single upvoter may have it but probably doesn't want to be lumbered with coming up with a clue for Monday .

The answer was Extremist...
Severe = extreme
Fog = mist
Sounds like "extreme mist" -> Extremist.
And of course an Extremist could cause problems for law enforcement authorities.
Looks like I'm back up on Monday

Oh ...
I was working on "SMOG" for "severe fog" ...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Good clue though.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I saw someone say a few months back they would program computer whether they got paid or not. This got me thinking, how many IT professionals actually would, so quick poll:
Who would engineer software if they didnt get paid for it, and my opener is, no freaking way!
|
|
|
|

I still do, because I can't work in the industry any more (can't even get close to KPI's). It is much more difficult to do now, but I do it to test myself, and for the feeling of accomplishment when I get something working. Also, keeps me off the streets and out of trouble.
Cheers,

I would do trying to get paid for it or for personal use - like many mods and add-ons for videogames are (and then evolve in full paid developing jobs).

I would still write code for my own enjoyment, but if someone wants to make money off my work - I want to be paid!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I second that. And I would of course only work on projects I could chose myself!
Anything that is unrelated to elephants is irrelephant Anonymous
- The problem with quotes on the internet is that you can never tell if they're genuine Winston Churchill, 1944
- I'd just like a chance to prove that money can't make me happy. Me, all the time

Would a footballer still play if they didn't get paid? Or a doctor still do surgery?
I guess it depend why you do it in the first place, if you enjoy it or find it rewarding you might do, though more for yourself than for other people unless you were helping someone out of a sticky situation.

As long as i use it for my personal use i would surely do without pay (Why would i pay myself)
If id do it for a company id want a pay.

I would do it. I have some pet projects that I have on the backburner that I would definitely have a go at if I no longer had company taking up my time.

Just to clarify your question : Do you mean having another job and programming for free as a hobby (yes, I would do, well I actually even do), or doing the same programming job as today but for free only because it is fun and bring much rejoicing and money is not the driver (This : no way) ?
|
|
|
|
|
The former.
Personally I wouldn't go near a computer unless I was paid. And in fact when I am not contracting I dont use them, except for ordering stuff.

Interesting. I so enjoy programming that I could program for free. I started programming databases at age 8. Then I was part of the demoscene. Now that I work in the embedded world, and that I have to handle both the very logic and binary world of software together with the erratic and six-sigma world of mechanics, the challenge is really awesome.

I enjoy it enough when I have got over the motivation hump and get into a project, so it has to be a live project to do that, a home made one just isnt serious enough, but I much prefer doing stuff with my hands.
For example, if I had the time and money I want to build a ULDB sailing boat, say 20 ft, with hydrofoils for stabilisers, no keel. Quick to launch, should do about 35 knots flat out. And be good under engine too, and being a ULDB a big wide cockpit. A real multipurpose fun boat good for water skiing, extreme sailing, and fishing.
Thats the kind of thing I call fun.

This sounds awesome as well You just have to find time and money

I used to do a lot of this kind of stuff, before my career kind of took over my life.
Made an off roader once, scaffold steel space frame chassis, front wheel drive engine and trans mounted in the back, it was a rea laugh. Took 2 weeks to make, drew it up, cut the tubes, welding it and bolted the bits on. It would do wheelies on tarmac, and was an absoloute dream to drive off road, it would four wheel drift perfectly.
Yeah, used to have a lot of fun with my mates doing stuff like that and I really want to get back into it again.
