Top 10 films for programmers
1. The Social Network (2010)
The Social Network is a compelling movie that tells the story of Harvard student and programming genius Mark Zuckerberg, who would go on to create Facebook, and change the world forever.
But, as you probably know, the story of Facebook’s founding is full of dramatic interpersonal and legal complications. The Social Network is believed to be based on true events for the most part, although Zuckerberg has publicly disputed aspects of the movie in real life.
Either way, most coders get a thrill from watching The Social Network, largely because the movie portrays the amazing feats one can achieve simply by learning a programming language.
Gibbons hates his job at a software company, and resents dealing with excessive managerial oversight and the everyday minutia of a soulless corporate gig.
