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!
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.
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.

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.)
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 /.

...or you wouldn't go to a barber who doesn't cut his own... oh, wait. Let's stick with the gardener analogy.

I'm 25, but my first coding experience was 22 years ago.

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.

There were so many negatives in the summary I drew a Venn diagram and I still couldn't work it out.
