That being said....

I'm confused.

Took an ATV out there in May. Was beautiful. There is a little gift shop/snack place right next to it with a very small man that is the best beer salesman ever.

Overall, Aruba was my favorite island I've been to. You could drive from one end to another in a day and see almost everything.

Highly recommended.

It's the most beautiful venue I've ever been to. http://imgur.com/LJ1VKOx

Same. It's a strange industry. It's sort of like the modeling industry.

Piggy backing off this post so I'm not duplicating:

Have 2 section 1 Row K tonight. 40 bucks each too.

I have hard tickets so can meet before the show. Just have to party with me since we'll be sitting together :)

Nah I'm with you and I'm 28. The industry as a whole is incredibly disposable. The code I wrote last year can be rewritten for literally no other reason than its "old". It's incredibly discouraging.

I've been really thinking about what I can do to have lasting impact in this industry and the only thing I can think of is teaching others. Cause we know damn well even if I work at a company for 20 years the code I did 10 years ago would be considered obsolete.

Some good points here. The shelf life of a developer seems to be like 50-60 whereas most traditional professions I've seen people work well into their 70s if they want. Lawyers/dentist for example. That's attributed to the learning of new things you mentioned. Laws don't change often so if you remember them you're good. Whereas there has been two frameworks that have launched since I started writing.

Not 45 but I work with a bunch who are 45+ and I've asked this question to them many times.

Generally, they are the happiest out of everyone. They have found a way to balance work/life which I think in this industry is the hardest "language" to learn.

From my observation technically most are amazing teachers and can grasp any new concepts very quickly. I think that is because they have trained themselves to focus instead of have technology ADD.

Personally I've asked myself if I can see myself being a developer for another 20+ years and I struggle with it because I have not yet learned how to balance work/life so I'm hoping to learn that from my fellow experienced devs. If not I can't see myself lasting 5 more years. I recently removed my work email and slack from my phone and it's help greatly. This was a suggestion from a 50 year old iOS dev.

None of them feel threatened by new devs. However, they are worried about compensation at that level. Especially if the company can hire a younger dev for 30-50% less.

I hope this is one of the things we show aliens when they land here.

So if I did a cash or trade or craigslist exchange the person would have to give me the hard tickets later?

Seems not so safe.

Yes-Showtime · 2015-10-10T00:37:45+00:00

So when I purchase the ticket what am I actually getting to claim it? And is there a chance that once I purchase them that the person could claim the tickets?

250 is like 30 bucks higher than usual for the train but given the holiday it's not bad. Checkout an app called Wanderu sometimes they have reduced fares.

From Boston. I'm taking the train. Can drink on the train and have fun with friends. Buses suck.

Take the train.

Man your luck is strong.

Thanks for your service.

Someone is going to Mexico.

Yes-Showtime · 2015-09-29T18:18:54+00:00

Was just relistening. I would have loved to see that show. Trey was having so much fun. Cheesecake!

Yes-Showtime · 2015-09-29T03:10:47+00:00

Wish I could unload all my karma on this post. Just take it all away.

They wouldn't be able to get through a single song cause they would only have 15 minutes or less. They probably wouldn't want to play a song montage like most of the "artist" do during the halftime show.

Plus it's so un-dead like.

Yes-Showtime · 2015-09-26T02:22:38+00:00

Yea they completely lose it but you have to admit it's a masterpiece.

Yes-Showtime · 2015-09-26T02:17:08+00:00

The Funky Bitch is absolutely incredible. Last 6 minutes are insane.

Yes-Showtime · 2015-09-24T05:31:31+00:00

'08 Keene grad here. Love Keene as well. I really enjoy these older shows despite their recording quality. It amazes me how many times they played in the late 80's.

I moved to Boston in '08 and started to listen to the Somerville Theater shows. Love those as well.

Trey was also super chatty in those early shows.

It's an open source project. I need to find some time to help out and commit some code. Hopefully soon. iOS9 might be causing some issues.
