Thank you my long time hn friend, jacquesm, for posting this.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ve been programming my entire adult life (and then some). I worked at many enterprises and SMBs. As the character who I live vicariously says on &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;eddiots.com&amp;#x2F;1&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;eddiots.com&amp;#x2F;1&lt;/a&gt;, &amp;quot;I love programming but I hate going to work.&amp;quot; I&amp;#x27;ll never stop programming but the people at work have worn me out.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ve been posting here for 16 years as well as several other sites. I&amp;#x27;ve always had something to say but have found it increasingly harder to say what I&amp;#x27;m thinking without sounding like I&amp;#x27;m preaching. Thus the comics. Might as well get it off my chest in a way we can all have a little fun. If I wasn&amp;#x27;t able to laugh all these years, I probably would have gone back to work at McDonalds.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s all software driven with only html, css, and svg. (I&amp;#x27;ll have the markup on every page next week.) No images or media queries. I kept it simple and post something new every weekday. It&amp;#x27;s just something I have to do. (And way better than all those CRUD apps and standups.)&lt;p&gt;Thanks to all of you for your kind (and other) words. My jokes are like the weather. If you don&amp;#x27;t like one, just click for another. Maybe that one will connect.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Eddiots</title><url>https://eddiots.com/1</url></story>
