Kids and their software developer parents You did good.. My five year old son walked up behind me today as I toiled away on sample code for the chapter that I am working on, he saw the JUnit green bar on the screen, and said "Dad, you did good." [Blogging Roller] I don't know if I envy him or not: I work from home since a few months and what I hear most often from my 4 years old daughter when she comes back from school in the evening is: "Papa, encore un p'tit mail et tu viens jouer avec moi" ("Dad, one more short mail and you come play with me !"). I guess it will soon be time to teach her logo :-)   12:27:29 PM    comment []
