From the life of a programmer: An irrational approach

To tell the truth, this story does not deserve a single line, so this vile story. It is disgusting to remember. And not those times now, to once again remember. Only spend memory. It used to be possible to spend memory, but now it is not necessary. Times are not the same.


And the lines are also a pity. Well, how much code can I build? Five lines, no less. And even seven. If not eight. In short, squandering is one thing.


Okay, I’ll tell you. This story is very instructive. And then you immediately forget it, to free the memory. Remember the most important thing, and forget the rest.


And this story happened with Dmitry Andreyevich Chirikov, deputy programmer of Zvyozdochka. It is impossible to imagine the work of this enterprise without Dmitry. He can gather a meeting, and it’s nice to drink tea with him. With bagels. In general, there are no complaints against him as a specialist.


One day, comes to him, for example, a subordinate - Sasha Repeynikov. And Sasha, this painfully impudent type, capricious. Everything is wrong with him. The fan buzzes, the legs break. Not him, Repeinikov, legs, and chairs. Well, then, he comes to Dmitry Andreyevich, and how he will blur:


- Dmitry Andreevich, to add memory. It compiles for a long time, and indeed the brakes are solid.


Crazy of this pressure, Dmitry Andreyevich almost choked on tea. But to the deputy chief programmers, colleagues, anyway they don’t take anyone, and if they take, then they regret it. Only this is not the case. So Dmitry Andreevich, being an experienced deputy chief programmer, successfully controlled himself, chewed on a steering wheel in cold blood and answered:


- Sasha, what are you doing? Yes, I don’t have time to eat lunch, so everything compiles quickly. And if I have time, I’ll drink tea. Or convene a meeting. I come back - everything was compiled. And you say, for a long time. Go past yourself, do not stop the work.


But Sasha does not leave. Only the nostrils puff out.


- I have not only a compiler, I have a browser open, mail, the profiler puffs. You won’t get enough of everything.
