That looks extremely painful

It's not even turned on.

Stupid homie. Do it the right way.

>What is your daily work like
Depends on the day. Some days I have a ton of stuff I want to accomplish and need to work on, some days I stare at my screen for 8 hours and then go home.
The former is why I love my job; the latter is why I hate my job.

>what tools/languages do you use?
C#, Java, SQL
Visual Studio, IntelliJ, SQL Developer

>Any tips for getting into that field?
Find an internship, and find a more senior developer there who is willing to mentor you.
Don't be afraid to ask questions.
Know what you know and know what you don't know. Don't be afraid to say "I don't know."
Learn how to solve problems on your own. Learn how to research. Practice your Googlefu and learn the art of skimming Stackoverflow threads.

Why do they keep taking photos like that? Do they not know? The nig nog seems like he knows.
I feel like the photographer is trolling everyone with these setups.
