This thread needs the obligatory "thanks @patrickklepek for writing articles like this for the site". I was smiling and nodding in agreement at everything you said about interactive toilets.

Honestly, these days I haven't had as much time to keep up with everything on this site, but when I get here, I always check to make sure I've read all the wall-of-text posts that Patrick has written since my last visit. I catch up on the other stuff when I have more time.

Keep up the awesome work, sir!

@patrickklepek I know it's been said, and I know I've said it myself before, but I just want to reiterate how much I enjoy your writing. Thanks for keeping the "text" aspect of this site alive, well, and highly relevant.

True, but a lot of devs would stick around for a couple reasons. First, so that they can still put "worked on BF4" on their resume and have it not be quite so badly perceived. Second, so that they can put "fixed BF4" on their resume, and spin it as taking ownership, follow-through, and dedication to their products, even when the company they work for screws them around with rushed releases, crap QA, etc.

Thanks for that "Box" video link. Mind = blown!

@rorie Oh man, as soon as you mentioned PCI DSS compliance, and flowcharts, I just started laughing my ass off. I've been working on some authentication process stuff for my company, and it's been a royal shitshow. The first cut of everything I built (to spec, which was handed down to me, and I assumed had been verified for compliance) had to be completely thrown out. Once I went back to the drawing board, I took it upon myself to make sure what we're building is really compliant, and it's painful, to say the least...

You just gotta do what I do. Decide that "I'll sleep when I'm dead". Then you might even have enough time left over to walk your dog, and play a video game or two.

@spoonman671: Nope, you thought about it as much as I did probably. After today, I won't be wearing it on a Tuesday again. It's funnier that way, IMHO.

It's not much, but I made this:
