Got a bottle of bourbon as a reward from boss after completing a task.
Thats it, just wanted to brag a little

How to get thru the tough dev days...

Bourbon.

i understand some developers like to write wrapper functions to handle tedious things, I even understand how to write dynamic SQL queries, but for the love of fucking god and sanity, NEVER FUCKING DO THIS!!!!

Yes its PHP, but its not even bad PHP, its a fucking abomination from hell of PHP.

You don’t appreciate how large a project really is until you have to write tests cases for QA, to cover most work flows.

God this is mind numbing, only half way there... I think 😰

There's nothing like finishing the build for a 4 month project, send it for testing and then there's change requests that fundamentally change what the fuck you built.

Some days a good bottle of bourbon or 5 are needed. 😤🥃

(From a previous rant I made)
As a note to all of my brothers from India. I am not happy with the current state in which your country is in regards to this bothersome pandemic. I do not feel happy, I am not jumping around singing to the doom you are all facing. I am sad. I know your people are good and your engineers outstanding.

Were it for me you would all be here in the U.S with me chilling with some good bourbon in celebration to how strong you can make our tech be.

My previous post was in regards to scammers, and I am very well aware that you are not at fault.

Be strong brothers, you will all survive this, just as India has survived generations of struggles.

I have found the solution to my general distaste for frontend work:

Bourbon

You see, i generally dislike working on the frontend. Mostly due to it being what I do every week at work. But during my xmas break I decided to look more into some advanced css to get shit done in more effective and better architectured ways.

SCSS makes it somewhat better. But what really makes it awesome is the bourbon.

Yay for alcohol.

In my defense, I barely ever drink. A couple of glasses before a coding session serve me pretty good.

Here we go

Day 0: thank you for being an Amazon Customer, your database is about to be upgrade in the near future with or without your consent! Tough titties motherfucker!

Day 16: ok, every upgraded by hand in the test environment, everything seems stable, let's go make preparations for production!

Day 16.5: ssh user@<prod_bastion_ip> --yada --yada
Unable to connect

Oooook, let's try again,
Unable to connect

Day 16.5.1: WHY THE FUCK NOT, the IP is fucking right, the cert is right, the user is right, the..... fucking.... EC2 instance has been......... terminated.....

FML!

Why! why can't people leave things alone.

Excuse me while I hit the bourbon 🥃

Is it just me or is the 'storefront' test for CAPTCHA much harder than the schoolbus or traffic light? Could be my diminishing eyesight, or bourbon too.

Me: "bourbon sass mixin library"

Fiancé: "why are you mixing bourbon in a library?!"

😂

Could anyone tell me why practically every mixin in Bourbon is suddenly deprecated? :P

if rl had bash

bartender: you had enough
me: sudo bourbon
bartender: double? (Y/n)

Bourbon and coke. Maybe a little Legend of Zelda soundtrack if I’m really feeling the heat.

1) IList doesn't have an AddRange.
2) WPF bindings must be ObservableCollections
3) Comboxes using Event Notification on PropertyChange are originally developed by some dope at Microsoft who still doesn't comprehend Big-O
4) LINQ can only do so much...

It's Christmas. My gift from Santa is trying to get through an end of year crunch on a project that is made entirely out of hot sweaty year old garbage, and the garbage collector is a halfwit who comes seemingly only when they want to, regardless of when I call Dispose().

It's 12:26pm here. That means it's time for bourbon and a good bit of "F*** this, I'm done for the day."
