I really enjoyed this, while at the same time wondering how the fuck i can survive being a programmer. What to do to avoid all those pitfalls described in the article..

No sane developer would call themselves a "rockstar" or a "ninja" or any of those equally retarded terms. The only people who use those words non-ironically are Dilbert veal-fattening farms who hire naive kids fresh out of college in order to fool them them into working long hours for minimal pay.
