Hm, for the first 15 or so years of my career I was an assembly language programmer (embedded engineer). Really couldn't swear at the language or the assembler. There was no IDE so no swearing there. After C/C++ became a viable option for embedded work, I was able to swear at the IDE's (mostly the debugger). Over all in my career, most of my swearing has been at management.

I went from doing stuff the way it's been done before, assuming there is genius there I'm just too inexperienced to recognize, to recognize unmaintainable rat's nests for what they are, questioning everything, from architecture to workflows.

A few months ago I posted a question asking about any podcasts that people found interesting.
There are few that I've liked consistently.
DotNetRocks guys are quite good, but most of the others vary a lot in quality / interest-keeping ability.
However, I stumbled upon The CoRecursive podcast[^] by Adam Gordon Bell and it is really fantastic.
It's very high quality & will keep you listening.
The latest episode that focused on Hansen Hsu and his time at Apple (on OS 9 -- pre OsX) was very interesting.
The podcast is always filled with a lot of insight into the challenges that occur at companies while we work as devs.
The Leaving Debian[^] episode was quite interesting.
Do any of you already listen to this podcast?
FYI - I'm not affiliated in any way with CoRecursive but I like to pass great content & ideas along when I can.

I wish I had the attention span for podcasts and videos. If I can't read something I'll typically get about half way through it before I start to tune out. I read very quickly, so my attention span isn't as much of an issue.
I used to love the C++ User's Journal, especially Herb Sutter's contributions.

I lose interest quite quickly too, but this podcast is really good.
The host does a great job of editing the interview he does and then keeps feeding you interesting bits which lead you along.

Red vs Blue is a machinima that started in 2003. It is kinda like a Seinfeld filmed inside of Halo multiplayer. It's a show about the red team and blue team, but it is about nothing really, until season 2.

Nope, this is CodeProject, not some 8-year old's Facebook page.

Umm, this is the lounge, to talk about anything, with some exceptions. And RVB can't be posted on an 8-year-olds Facebook page(But what kind of 8-year-old would have Facebook?), it's rated TV-MA...
Here's season 1 episode 1(Season 1, Episode 1 - Why Are We Here? | Red vs. Blue - YouTube)... And some very popular memes come from Red vs. Blue, like "Wait, that's illegal," that's right, it's not from Halo, but from RVB.
Also, try to be a little less toxic, you don't care, don't reply. Just keep it friendly. Some people might get triggered or something, and the last thing we need on here is a rant to be triggered... So just be nice in general.

There's a Red vs. Blue wiki and it didn't help.
You need to capture prisoners of both, crossbreed them and make a third faction called Purple.

Well, it turns out Doc is purple, because Red and Blue are the same, the Red and Blue factions' civil war is all a simulation.

..and we side with purple, 'cause every movie does.
I've no idea what you talking about, sorry.
