About Scrumbles
Athletes work out and practice. Entertainers rehearse all the time. Why shouldn't we programmers?
"Scrumbles" are simple puzzles that exercise your mind. Improve your comprehension, analysis, problem solving, debugging, and even testing skills. All without pesky tools and overbearing users and bossholes.
Buy this pdf book. Print it out (or just a few pages), do the puzzles with a pencil, then graduate to pencil-less. A simple and effective way to take a break, avoid burnout, and improve without code exercises or work.
What a deal! Five bucks for 200 puzzles and answers too! But you won't need them for long. And as always, with eddiots, VNHUFEA!

About Eddiots
This is a work of fiction inspired by real events I witnessed, endured, or instigated.
Every character and company is a composite of real people and places from my work life. I just changed the names to protect the incompetent.
Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or businesses, active or bankrupt, is either coincidental or unavoidable because these eddiots are everywhere!
Thanks to all you bossholes, players, liars, fakers, slackers, posers, jerks, cheaters, and producers of endless technical debt. I used to hate you but now I love you because I need no imagination. I just share forward the suffering you shared with me.
About Eddie Ottic
Eddie Ottic has written 2 million lines of code for 94 firms in 50 years. There's a good chance something you own was built with his software.
He loves coding but hates going to work. Everywhere he's ever been had sufficient tech. None had sufficient management but plenty of bossholes.
When he says this, he's "not a team player". But when his comics say the same thing, others listen, laugh, and learn the inside truths no one else teaches. That's why he built eddiots.
He's a fair writer, a lousy artist, and a lazy developer. But combining them makes the magic vector art about his long I.T. incarceration. Read it, learn something, and most of all, have fun!
