Miserable.

Edit: I can build a house, so a carpenter, I would be.

Only one?

I can build lots of houses, so I'd be a better carpenter and get all the contracts.

Sorry, but if your kids gotta starve, they gotta starve.

I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

I saw a man drop a five pound note into a busker's cap. As he did it he said "Here, go and get some singing lessons."

We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.

Not sure, maybe a chemist. Hard to say, I've been doing this since 14 and never really identified myself any other way until recently. Programming has become such a part of me, I don't think I'd be the same person without it.

I'd take up my time building musical instruments of wood and string. Then on the weekends spend my time performing with them to sell them to passers by and young people who catch the music in their eyes and want to strike embers from their fingertips as well. Could be a better life for sure!

That's a really nice set of options you got there ! WTF | :WTF:

«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors.
