Nobody Remembers Your Salary

Nobody will remember: – Your salary – How “busy you were” – How many hours you worked People will remember: – How you used exceptions for control flow – How you jumped out of 3 layered loops with break label – How you encoded 4 valued logic with Optional<Boolean>

A screenshot of a programmer’s social media post contrasts ordinary work achievements with memorable examples of overly clever or unusual code. The joke is that coworkers may forget your salary and workload, but they will remember bizarre programming techniques like exception-based control flow, labeled breaks, and four-valued Boolean logic.
