Ok so my uni gives everyone a GB of storage on a server so that you can have files accessible at any point on the campus. Naturally I store everything I do in class on it.
One day I opened an HTML file in chrome. The file was on this server. I begin editing the HTML file in Visual Studio. I changed some shit in the CSS file for this site. Saved it and refreshed the page. Nothing changed. Did it again. Nothing changed. Cleared the cache. Nothing changed.
I was genuinely confused about what was going on because I knew exactly what was supposed to change. As soon as I called the professor over I realized what my dumbass had done: I opened the file on the server in chrome and was editing the file on my desktop.
I felt like a fuckin idiot. -
Fakerlol855yHappens to me all the time because I left the wrong Target-IP in my debuggers' settings and was debugging an application on a device nothing was connected to.
The first time this happened I had to enlist two other devs to help me out and after 1~2h later we even began desoldering microswitches because we thought it was a hardware problem.
Until someone noticed the LEDs on a device at the far end of the room light up every time we started debugging.
🤦♂️
We vowed to never talk about that ever again to each other.

OK. This might sound incredibly stupid. But still...
I decided to help a friend of mine with asp.net assignment. I just know c# and he didn't attend classes. So he came to me with some pizza and beer. So we managed to finish the assignment. In the end we had to add audio to web page and I didn't know how to do it(I've never used Javascript until that moment) . So naturally I googled and tried literally 10 different methods to play audio and none of them worked. I lost my mind and hit the table a bunch of times. After 2 hours I realized that I was wearing my second headphone that is not connected to my laptop and audio is playing on my primary headphone as expected)
