Finding a Personal Coding Trifecta

Posted by timothy on from the benadryl-cocoa-and-a-down-comforter dept.

jammag writes "For Seinfeld's George Constanza, his dream of the ideal moment was having sex while watching TV and eating a pastrami sandwich. He called this Nirvana state 'The Trifecta.' Developer Eric Spiegel adapts this concept of Nirvana to the act of writing your best possible code. He examines all (or most) of the possible things that might contribute to the 'The Trifecta' for developers — food, beverages, time of day. Spiegel also describes his personal Trifecta."

    fact: Liberals support George Bush's policies when they're being implemented by a nigger. Liberals are racist.

      I am all for a reinvented Holocaust that, rather than killing jews, we round up thugs and put them out of our misery. The number one problem in the US and the world right now are thugs that believe acting like animals is the proper way to function in society. All they do is impregnant/get pregnant, wait for the welfare check, and cause meaningless acts of violence. I say if they really love reenacting 50 cent, lets put them on the receiving end of a bullet and see how much they like it. Thugs cause property damage, are harmful to quality of life, and put an undue burden on the state to support them. They are an eye sore of society and there should be a call to arms to take any and all thugs out. Being a thug transcends race, nationality, or color, it is a choice that needs to be crushed. No one should have to live in fear or be on high alert because a burden of the state decide he wants to have some fun and rob/rape/kill someone. Let's turn the tables on these animals and end them all. All those dead thugs will also be less people to contribute to our carbon foot print and more resources to people who actually need them. Imagine how many students would be able to get an education if there were more money freed up from having to feed, clothe, and house a useless thug. These belligerents of society need a new Holocaust to end their world forever, and only then will the world progress.

    as long as you're joking...but I imagine many people who say that kind of thing and then say they are joking often really would enjoy it. 'Humor' is often a window into the true nature of a person. Maybe it isn't the case here, I don't know. But you know, words can never hurt thee...if I'm wrong about his character, no one's worse for the wear. If i'm right...still the same, but at least I called someone on being a dick...and now perhaps I also called someone on defending something appalling and brushing it off as a joke when in fact they are into it. As for "freedom of speech"--more power to anyone to say appalling things, serious or not...it lets me know who the fucked up people are.

    oh really...who is that? oh, wait...me?! haha, whatever. I call someone an asshole for my own reasons, you call me an asshole for your reasons. what ev. I will stand by it, though, that humor is a window into the subconscious...and the OP never actually said anything about 'joking' anyway. I will also stand by the fact that if a blumpkin is appealing to a person, that person is emotionally stunted, and a jerk. Honestly, is making a woman give head while you shit not degrading treatment? If she "likes it," doesn't she have some serious problems of her own that you would be taking advantage of? Also, just like to point out, I'm not really being all that uptight. I use foul language (even in this post)...I just think the OP's trifecta is a little disturbing, and people whom I've met who share those enthusiasms aren't the most reliable or decent people.
