Ted Dziuba Says, "I Don't Code In My Free Time"
theodp writes "When he gets some free time away from his gigs at startup Milo and The Register, you won't catch Ted Dziuba doing any recreational programming. And he wouldn't want to work for a company that doesn't hire those who don't code in their spare time. 'You know what's more awesome than spending my Saturday afternoon learning Haskell by hacking away at a few Project Euler problems?' asks Dziuba. 'F***, ANYTHING.'"
Nobody.
Also: LAST POST!
Greetings! Problem 260 will be accessible on Sat 17 Oct 2009 at 1.00 am [GMT]. With regards, Project Euler Team
If he doesn't code in his spare time, obviously he won't find himself working anywhere that only hires people that do.
ASCII stupid question, get a stupid ANSI
We might know him if he was coding something awesome in his free time, but he's not.
I don't read Ted Dziuba's articles in my free time...or when I am working, actually.

...someone who is interested in what they do as a day job will probably put in more effort that someone who's just a clock watching for-the-money type then frankly he's an idiot. This rule applies to ANY profession, not just programming
Brain surgery? Nothing like after a hard day in the operating theatre unwinding by taking out the kids pre-frontal cortex.
...or you wouldn't go to a barber who doesn't cut his own... oh, wait. Let's stick with the gardener analogy.

Who?
Also:
Who cares?
READ THE F***ING ARTICLE!
And then pretty please tell me if it answers your questions, because I sure as hell don't know who TD is or care, so no way am I going to RTFA.
This rule applies to ANY profession, not just programming.
I don't know, as a porn star, I'll do it for the money, but I really just don't like sex. Wouldn't want to do that in my spare time with hot chicks I don't even know.
(This post may have contained a few lies.)
And we thank you for it!
You want to know how I learned Haskell? By doing project euler problems... DRUNK. See, this guy is all hoity-toity about going to the bar on weekends.... I bring the bar to ME, then I go out into the trenches, a little bit of beer, and solve those project euler problems after 5 beers minimum.
Nothing like a 12 pack and a functional, correctly solved project euler problem to separate the men from the boys.
He probably spends most of his spare time writing to the makers of Scrabble trying to persuade them that surnames should be allowed as legitimate words.

As far as I can tell, he's a 26 year old programmer/blogger who doesn't much like to program in his free time.
Also, he needs to get the hell off my lawn.
Last post Denied.
Also anyone wanna know a more interesting article om /. ?
ANY FUCKING ARTICLE YOU CAN FIND.
I really don't get it. I looked around, and i can't see why this guy made it onto /.
O.o
I don't see why you can't refuse not to misunderstand nothing but the null post that was not posted at no point not on Slashdot.

because I sure as hell don't know who TD is or care
But he says "F***" in public on the intertubes and so he must have a large amount of courage and really know his own mind. He probably already drives a BMW and is fighting off hordes of gorgeous young women with an excrement-covered stick as we speak.
Wouldn't we all want to be this dude?

"Science flies us to the moon. Religion flies us into buildings." - Victor Stenger
calling someone who uses the word fuck a "fucking retard" is somewhat fucking retarded.
Just as those that do drugs in their free time are less valuable.
...Because the pharmaceutical companies snatch the hardcore drug users away from you!
They in fact, don't like anybody that doesn't do drugs at work, and in their spare time.
Isn't it obvious? He doesn't code in his spare time, because he's on Slashdot instead.
I suspect some people here don't code in their work time, for much the same reason...
If I'm famous at all, it's news to me.

Slow news day, of course. It's SUNDAY. Ask timothy - it was a toss up between the Ted Zuby story, and the one I submitted. "My 85 year old mother in law figures out Gmail: The wife finally convinced her that it wasn't just another pr0n movie from France."

I'm 25, but my first coding experience was 22 years ago.
Ah, but "binary blobs" in your diapers don't count.

Hi Linus,
I'm having problems with sound on my laptop in Ubuntu. Is this something you can fix in the kernel or is it a problem with the distro? Please help.
Best Regards, AC
>Maybe i should of posted
Maybe you shouldn't have.
The only thing i get from this is "My life sucks, I hate my job so much ill publicly state i don't code when i don't have to. Oh and here... a pelican eating a rabbit."
That grey monster devouring a sweet little bunny wabbit is a grey herron!
This despicable monster is a plague worse than the biblical locusts. Swarms of these screeching monsters peck at pets and small children, make an awful mess pulling anything edible out of the garbage containers, and cover the city with their immense splashes of their foul, abrasive excrement. You think pigeon poop is a problem? A herron poops puddles the size of a pigeon! Oh and the screeching! Have you ever heard one of these monsters sing? Inflate a balloon, then stretch the nozzle while you slowly deflate it. Imagine that sound getting married and having a child with the screeching of a dinosaur from a 1950's movie, that's what it sounds like.
The worst part is, you can't do a damn thing about them. You can't shoot them because burocrats in Brussels think these freaky miscreants are 'rare' and 'protected'. You know what, these feathered meat golems only seem rare, because they all seem to have flocked to these parts.
Among rhetorical devices, triple negatives are not the least unpopular.
I asked Ted's wife what's more awesome then spending her time with him. Her response? "Fucking anything!"
Fortunately for me I'm not Ted.
Aaah, but Ted and Skral have hit upon a secret you obviously haven't. They code all that sort of rubbish during their work time.
Fortunately their bosses haven't discovered this secret yet either. Or else they'd be talking about how they only code when they're not in the unemployment line.
There were so many negatives in the summary I drew a Venn diagram and I still couldn't work it out.
Confucius say, "Find worm in apple - bad. Find half a worm - worse."
It could be a night spent hacking filesystem driver code while fucking the wife.
Wow, that really raises the bar over walking and chewing gum at the same time. I am not worthy.
I was taught to respect my elders. The trouble is, it's getting harder and harder to find some.
My 85 year old mother in law figures out Gmail
You should submit that to CNN. It wouldn't surprise me if they went for it.
