An insightful, if brief, journey into the life and struggles of a programmer. See the challenges your programming friends, family, colleagues, or employees face every Hear the lamentation, learn of their struggle, hear the wailing, feel the gnashing of teeth.
If you are not a programmer, this is a great gag gift for the programmer in your life, let them know you see and understand their struggle, their pain.
If you are a programmer, gift it to anyone you know who needs to understand. Or, of course, to keep at your desk and explain it in terms simple enough for even your boss to understand.
Fearadhach MecRaudri (a nom de plume, obviously. The other name belongs to the boring alter-ego with a day job) is an avid reader and writer of Science Fiction and Fantasy. He enjoys the mental play in the realm of ideas, the endless game of ‘what if’ that is at the core of the genre. His days are spent in one of the stereo-typical jobs expected of geeks, but his evenings are spent playing in the realm of ideas and his weekends seeking adventure.
As a member of a regular writing critique group, he is always working to further his craft, and help others hone theirs. When not writing, he enjoys swimming, reading, gaming, sword fighting, skydiving, skiing, and a host of other Adrenalin-pumping activities
Of himself, he says:
Dichotomy defines my existence. I am a geek...who loves to play sports and be outdoors. I'm a deeply 'religious' man, who hates 'religion'. I could not care less what others think of me, yet I care deeply how others feel and enjoy greatly making (or just seeing) others happy. I am incredibly passionate and full of gusto, yet often reserved and cold as ice. I work not to make decisions without considering them, yet I'm the one who is asked when a snap choice of equal options is needed.
I am neither extreme: hot nor cold, fire nor ice, yet never (ever) lukewarm. I am neither sun nor moon, neither day nor night. I am dawn, I am dusk. Where the sea meets the shore, where earth meets sky, where the water meets the air...Look at that place between, and you will find me standing there. Where worlds connect...and collide.
