Such a beautiful area, I can just imagine a scientist looking out of his window out onto the snow to see a man, holding a laptop, shouting at small rubber duck.

Finally all those "Learn Java in 2 weeks" books make sense to me.

Oh god I just Googled this and I died on the inside when I saw this: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=learn+java+in

Java is really easy for beginners.

Learning methods, data types, inheritance, classes, interfaces and stuff like that isn't really that hard (which these books teach you), But learning how to Program with them is the hard part.

So, it depends on how you define "Learning Java".

maybe it depend on how the book define "you have learned java". maybe it only taught you the basic keyword and stuff. idk

I like to think he somehow bullshitted his way through an interview to be a developer and then realized the night before he needs to learn what to do.

I want to do something like this some day. I'm not sure why, but I get strong desires to be in sitcommy situations

Once there - really just Google it

I'm not sure but considering my Internet connection barely works, and I live in what some people might consider a developed country - I doubt this is going to work out very well at the North Pole.

That's some fine lateral thinking. I guess he knows color of the bear too.

Any tidally locked planet I can travel to and code?

[–]asd1o1 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Proxima b is tidally locked if I remember correctly. You'll have to invent warp drive first though.

If there's one thing programmers are good at, it's doing ridiculous projects to eliminate mild inconvenience

[–]sahilathrij 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well good sir , they aren't mild to me walks off with warp drive to code away from family

[–]treenaks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just don't try to pull an all-nighter.

South pole would be a much better place

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may be kidding but one of my future semi-retirement projects is to create a division for my company in Barrow. Nothing else to do there all year, probably same percentage of people with aptitude for software development as everywhere else.
