As a young teenager learning to code in the mid/late 90s I distinctly remember two influential movies: Office Space and Hackers. It wasn’t until the dot com boom that I realized you could have a lot of fun and stay out of prison.

I would trade in these shitty open offices for the cube farm from Office Space though…

haha I have thought about this. I saw office Space right before I got my first coding job. So I expected the lifestyle of the typical engineer to be in line with the 'drive an old car, live in a small apartment' representation in the movie.

Twenty something years later never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I'd have insane compensation and perks and yet an even shittier desk situation than depicted in that movie lol.
