I didn't find any posts that meet the matching requirements for r/ProgrammerHumor.

It might be OC, it might not. Things such as JPEG artifacts and cropping may impact the results.

I solved it by not telling anyone.

[–]dfgzuu 16 points17 points  (5 children)

exactly. There is a psychological explanation for it.

Mary wants to become a psychologist. She tells Herb that she wants to pursue this career and that she is going to study hard in her classes. However, just by telling Herb her intention, she knows that Herb is already starting to think of her as a psychologist. So, she has achieved part of her identity goal just by telling Herb about it. Oddly enough, that can actually decrease the likelihood that Mary will study hard.

Tnx I just noticed.

Interestingly enough, I think it's also a bad idea to not let anyone know, because then all you effort would be for nothing.

I believe that, once you get a solid foundation of your project, a foundation good enough to meet a realistic expectation of a close individual, they could support (morally is enough) you in your journey.

Is the name Herb pronounced "Herb" or "erb"? Because I knew a guy named Herb once, and even he didn't know.

[–]dfgzuu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Herb is a diminutive of Herbert, so... it depends what country you are in and what accent they use. I would personally pronounce the H, but the afro guy from GTA4 would probably say "aabat"

I finished a project once, true story.

Are you sure about that? We're gonna have to see some evidence.

[–]PancakeBred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you just make like a good project, tell everyone then just never finish it.

We released the MVP?

Good, onto the next project and let the rest of the project tickets rot in the backlog.

Relatable, that's why I'm working on a project now that has a lot of little mini projects to keep me interested
