>>37844999>the fuck are programmer socks?>t. enterprise software devYou know how most code we have to write is just getting things done? Maybe it's "good" but it's not great. But you know that one piece of code you saved from that one project? The one that actually solved a novel problem, in a concise way without being under-expressive, and without sacrificing performance? Maye you didn't even write it! Maybe you stumbled upon it and it was so inspiring you you saved that file or module or function or class, whatever it is.
We all have that bit of code.
Sometimes, when I am feeling down about what I have to do day to day, I get out that snippet of code, put on some mid-00's german electronica, pour a glass of whiskey, put on my programming socks, and read that code. It reminds me that there can be beauty in the world.
Without the socks, it wouldn't have the same kind of comfy, reflective feel.
