Topic: Programming
Cat: noun a small domesticated carnivore, Felis domestica or F. catus, bred in a number of varieties.
This post will have nothing to do with cats, but everything to do with Frank Sinatra. See, Mr. Sinatra is what I call my programming buddy, and this post will be about programming buddies.
Almost everyone has one. A stress toy, a piece of lint, a coffee mug, a humorous image, anything which distracts them from their job and at the same time allows them to reflect on the problem at hand. From my experience, anything can be a programming buddy. My coworker has this block puzzle he has yet to solve, and another has a pyramid of beer cans. See, it does not have to be an active object, or something you necessarily need to interact with. It is simply something familiar with which you decorate your work space.
What's the use of a programming buddy? Well programming buddies are part of the office environment, something which when improved can increase creativity, productivity and motivation. For me, it's listening to Frank Sinatra.
If you haven't gotten one yet, try and find one! But remember to keep it relatively passive as to not completely drain your productivity; just as your buddy can help you, it can also, if poorly chosen, become an obsession of yours.
That was it for today. Have a nice weekend reader!
