I was programmer in IT department of HUGE factory and it was like shit:
Me: hey, guys, do we have version control system
They: no, what's this? We use 7zip instead.
Me: how about code review
They: as long as it look to work, we don't care.
Me: what about awesome Qt? Or not so awesome MFC? Or any library? Boost maybe?
They: We'd like to learn about OOP at some point, but it looks complicated [I'm not even making shit up, they actually told me that they don't know OOP]
They: We have bright idea! We will write some shit. Other programmer doesn't know C++, so he'll be using Delphi instead. You don't know delphiYeah, I'm not such faggot so you'll be using C++. We'll glue everything together via DLLs.
They: BTW, do you know anything about fox pro? [they show me ~400 LOC function]
Me: IHBT! I'm out of here, guys.

They also purchased Oracle E-Business Suite, but our IT department was not allowed to touch it with a light-year long pole.

age: 29
job: Lead programmer/project manager; disregard the "manager" part please, I do actual work
years of experience: professionally 5, personally 16
area of work: Internal software, everything minus ERP, all of it over GNU/Linux using, adapting or writing free software, all applications over the web and batch processing/systems management programs. Most applications are written in PHP after I could convince them to get rid of Java, with a somewhat-abstract bullshite library I wrote for it in order to make my life less miserable, and new stuff as well as systems management programs are written in Python.
daily activities: fapping
ever worked for a big company?: No, do not want. Here (team of 6) I can design what I do, write what I design, see what I did working, be known for it, take decisions over technology (wonder where the free software and no Microsoft policies come from), use ``abstract bullshite'', and my co-workers aren't morons. In a large company I'd be just "Software engineer #43826", be forced to rely on a software factory full of incompetent morons and have retarded managers and policies shoved up my ass (my manager here rocks, GNU/freetard, SICP and all).

I achieved satori aged 20, spent the next 7 years smoking pot, too consumed in my own awesomeness to bother myself with the trivial code of the corporate world. In between I built and lost 3 businesses, was a drug dealer, a homeless criminal and a cocaine addict.

Now I work in a 2.0 stealth startup, yes I'm one of those wankers.

I wake up, go work, work, go home, sleep.

I used to work for the faggots at Yahoo for a short while.

Now I realise I'm just a arrogant bastard.
