Dev Confession:
I wrote a bunch of code today that created more problems than it solved. I did not commit it. I used git stash to hide it. It took me hours to write. I didn't do a test on a small section of code beforehand. Literally hours of wasted man hours.

At least I didn't commit this garbage into the repo. The approach was fine, but the architecture made it a non-solution. Now I need to redesign this code or leave as is. It is production code I cannot just "change" on a whim.

I have officially dubbed this week as confession week. This should be a world wide thing. People should fess up to their terrible deeds. Lets start a trend and confess to our misdeeds in code and life. Make the world a better place!

What do you say?

    Dev confession:
    I used Gantt graphs to get my micromanaging boss of my back. A lot of the tasks that sound difficult we're expanded on time, just to have free time to tinker in Rust.

    I’ve done basically nothing for weeks, and have gotten away with it.

    Why, you ask?
    Burnout.

    I fucked my best friend's gf.
    Oh, _dev_ confessions?
    I stopped writing unit tests. I know I'll pay for it. But I just wanna see this bitch run. Plus, I'm not sure games tend to come with unit tests.

    Dev confession: I overestimate stuff to see my manager and client suffer. I despise them.

    Bonus fact: the additional free time is a nice plus.

    @Root The most annoying part about burnout is coming up with believable reasons in stand-ups for why nothing has been pushed.
