I disagree. When I look at people shouting at their laptop or mobile phone because "this shit doesn't do what I want", I wish they were exposed at least to a little bit of programming. It changes the way you think. You think in a more logical way, you become better at solving problems. So next time when this shit doesn't do what they want, they might think of a way to work around it. Life is more pleasant when you don't fight the technology but try to understand it instead. If you learn how to drive a car, you should learn how the engine works. Makes you a better driver.

Good teams are diverse, whether it's in sex, color, religion, nationality or preferred working conditions. I wish companies offered both open and private space. And by private space I don't mean a beanbag in the other side of the room. Some days I don't mind the chatter around me, and some days my stomach makes the loudest and strangest gurgling noises that you can imagine and I'd rather my coworkers didn't hear them.

I keep writing things down everywhere: OSX Notes, org-mode, Evernote, paper. Having it in one (public) GitHub repo is a great idea!
