I work as a Java programmer, which means that I spend about 50% of my day complaining about Java. Why doesn't it have enums like Rust? Why are there no tuples? How many goat sacrifices do the Java gods require to support named optional arguments to functions like Python? In the remaining time I have meetings, write docs, write tests, and sometimes even code. Nothing to complain about though, seeing how we are treated compared to people I know who work as taxi drivers or in elderly care, we programmers are basically treated as gods.

As for music, I like Hardstyle and Drum and Bass primarily. Examples: "Phuture Noize & Devin Wild - Waves", DnB: "Telomic & Susan H - Underwater". I'll be visiting the DnB festival "Liquicity festival" this weekend so I'm very hyped right now

Really? Come to the C# side... We have all those, and concise code too.
