when i merge two files manually

"Is that a script or a hand job?"

A friend's colleague (who's pretty bad at English) that refers to manually typing in to the console as "a hand job".

Lecturer: Unfortunately, you will have to manually write these 16 combinations in the program.

Me: *writes a script to generate the combinations*

Not using git/GitHub and versioning my projects manually.

Yeah, I deserve to die.

Forgot the password of the private key used to login to all my vpn servers.

Now I’ve got to generate a new one and deploy it everywhere again through this shitty control panel for every server fucking manually.

🤬

Just spent 30 minutes trying to work out why my page will not load a JavaScript file even though I could manually browse to the file:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/js" href="js/home.js" />

I then proceeded to take a 5 minute walk around the office and rethink my life decisions...

Developers :
Work as efficient as possible!

Also developers :
Pressing the arrow up ⬆️ in the terminal 90 times to find a command that could have been manually typed out in 1 sec

18000 duplicate lines that were manually copy pasted by the previous programmer.

I replaced them with a for loop.

I don’t think it was that hard…

I've always elected to program a lot of my tasks instead of manually inputting them. Using a computer to solve repetitive tasks is the name of the game.

“Your time zone is not my concern” - manager of the backend team

I asked if there’s another way for us to get test data into QA. That doesn’t involve us staying on until 9pm to get a backend dev to modify the db manually, everyday.

Sometimes I spend hours programming a task that I could do manually in minutes... But no regrets

Update on my student job :

Today they put me on a new project.
Basically, I have to update a database of buildings owned or rented by the company. They provided me a lot of data including the address of each building but I need the GPS coordinates.
They wanted me to do it manually, copy pasting from Google maps (info: there's 75 buildings).
So I wrote a small script using an API to automate that, took me 20 minutes.

My colleagues were like "how the fuck is that possible ? We always do it manually, always takes ages !"

Been coding for hours, trying to automate the processing of over 500 rows of data, I refuse to do that manually.

At least I have company

Today in train programming:
Pushed a new build before pulling into station
Battery dies
Test on tablet
Build is broken, files missing
Upload files manually to Azure (WHY)
try to log in to my sure to treat, forgotten password
Try to reset password, smtp details in DB are wrong...

I'm doing well

No boss... For the fucking millionth time: unit tests are not a waste of time.

You keep testing everything manually and hoping that you tested everything every time and praying that there are no bugs IS THE FUCKING TIME WASTE

My boss just can't fucking wrap his head around automated tests... I'm trying hard... Gonna try harder...

So today, our "senior tester" logged a bug because he "Viewed Page Source" on the web based report he's testing and the Year values are hard coded! So 2017 will have to added manually!
I burst out laughing so hard, all my colleagues think I'm having a mental breakdown.

Crowdsource let's you improve Google's algorithms by manually identifying items. I helped the world today by making sure "sex" = "sex"

I don't care what codestyle you want. I even can deal with codestyle I detest. (Looking at you, Vertical Alignment)

There is pretty much only one hard requirement:

It must be enforceable via autoformatting.

I won't manually edit a file because you have a preference.

Am I the only one who will spend an hour to write a script that runs only once to save myself from entering in 20 minutes worth of data manually?

While debugging some java code by our Senior Architect, I found this gem: 5000 padding done manually.

PS: Jr Developer here.

DEVS THAT MANUALLY UPDATE AUTOGENERATED CODE ARE THE WORST!!!!

Guess who has to clean up your mess? And be pinged about it later when another dev thinks they wrote the feature??

No, your hack wasn't cool.

That moment when writing code to perform a one time task ends up taking more time than just doing the task manually

Guys, when you have to manually edit records in the prod DB, please at least make sure that your overweight cat isn't rolling around on the keyboard...

Automated a process which was being perfomed manually for 5 years !
Client is so happy comes up with more stuffs to automate.

"Alexa still down :( Please send help, I no longer know how to switch any devices on or off manually. Smart home now officially dumb..."

The home isn't the only one it seems 🤭

*launch software*
> goes tits up with no info
*restart machine, launch software*
> still goes tits up
*su to the user it runs as and run it manually because fuck you shitstaind*
> still goes tits up
*launch with debug logs enabled*
> suddenly works

What is this black magic?!

When there is no automatic way of checking if you software update came through correctly and no personal is in the building so you have to boot 421 PCs.

me: deletes comment from pom file
eclipse: there is a problem...
me: refresh project manually
eclipse: ok.. its all good now.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ah, new feature submission to app store day.

- Tests passing = check!
- App built = check!
- App manually tested = check!
- App store content = check!
- Boilerplate answers to the same 6 questions from PM, every time we go through this = check!

Ready to go baby!!

me: "Why is the QA guy manually typing JSON into a production environment?"
asshole: "That's not your responsibility."
me: "Why didn't you just migrate data? This is dangerous."
asshole: "You need to go sit down."

"We don't have time for writing tests"
"Yeah we could write them but only if the client paid us for that"
"You can just test new features manually!"

- Most devs of our mobile team.

Every day they're fighting with bugs and when they're fixed, a couple more pop out of nowhere.

Dear god help me.

So I'm on a holiday in Germany and apparently the place where I'm staying "verifies" the connected devices to their WiFi manually

I found an old project on which I hadn't version controlled, so I decided to manually commit progress on a past date. Only problem GitHub calendar wouldn't show it.

I emailed them and because it was private repo I added them as contributor. Then I got this reply.

"iOS Development is easier"

Yeah, right? There's no dropdown, no checkbox, no radio button, no placeholder for multiline textfields, ...

Motherfck!

You have to manually do everything yourself and lay things out in their messy slow Xcode. Apple doesn't include important things only because they have randomly decided not to include them! Fuck this job.

Got moved to testing last week, (due to lack of testers) being a developer it requires a whole different mind set to test !!!

But running selenium scripts and again verifying manually sucks.

But what hurts the most is rejecting something that you approved during peer review 😱🤭

Yuppie clients are utter cancer. You treat me like garbage, stress me the fuck out with constant calls and changes, and force me to deploy manually on a f*cking friday. Your site deserves to be broken. You deserve to be angry. I enjoy your business suffering, you yuppie ass money brabbing retardotron.

I can't believe how difficult it is to convince people in a *tech* company to automate things.

"oh yeah it's only a couple of times a year. How much work is it gonna take to automate it, it'll take us only a few minutes to do manually"

That's how you get stuck in the past.

So you want full stack engineers to: design, do UX, create front end, build backend and deploy it in your mono repo stupid manual deployment "kubernetes cluster", add monitoring alerting manually, review others PR, QA our own apps and features, manually sync to Production, use VPN otherwise we cannot connect to anything, 2factor auth, do SRE, architecture diagrams, demo, run agile ceremonies, and learn a legacy coding language which was never mentioned in the job description. Did I miss anything?

When your boss asks you to add 200 products to the system.......

MANUALLY.

Porting Java Code to Kotlin manually, just to get a better understanding of the language. Best thing so far, NO more Assertive Exception Handling.

Damnit Java, I know it for a fact that the damned thing won't throw an exception! There's Careful and Paranoid. KNOW THE DIFFERENCE

So I've wasted hours of my life doing these things manually?

Let's talk about input forms.

Please don't do that!

Setting time with the arrow buttons in the UI.
Each time change causes the page to re-fetch all the records. This is fetching, parsing, rendering tens of thousands of entries on every single click. And I want to set a very specific time, so there's gonna be a lot of gigs of traffic wasted for /dev/null.

Do I hear you say "just type the date manually you dumbass!"? I would indeed be a dumbass if I didn't try that. You know what? Typing the date in manually does nothing. Apparently, the handler is not triggered if I type it in manually/remove the focus/hit enter/try to jump on 1 leg/draw a blue triangle in my notebook/pray

There's only one model. The user model, wich is preinstalled. But the database has many tables. All queries are generated manually. Within the "mainController".

Internship Company employee: Hey, we need 600 images uploaded to a wordpress site, you'll have to do that for me.
Me: Alrightyy, can you give me some FTP or SSH access or something?
Employee: Nope, not allowed to.
Me: Uhm, I could write a shell script and run it?
Employee: The server is windows....
Me: Mother of god, I'll have to do it manually then?
Employee: You could ask John (my technical guider, not his real name) if you can borrow some fellow interns!
Me: *walks to John* Hey man, can I borrow some interns?
John: What for?
Me: Manually uploading 600 images to posts :).
Interns: *looking at me with a deadly view*
John: Sure!
Interns:

In my team, unit tests are called so, because every Dev is a 'unit' who manually tests their own code...

@dfox
Only 2 rants an hour.
Ok
How about the ability to save and manually post later feature?

I had an idea for a rant. It was gold i tells ya... if only I could remember what it was. 😥

Why in the fucking world did I decide to manually use @media screen in CSS instead of Bootstrap, I'm down to 212px wide screen now just because I can't stand that SOMEBODY might have a bloody screen that size.

Just because I manually updated a database record, does not mean I can fix your bluetooth headset. Now fuck off.

When someone decides to manually delete a user from a relational database that relies on that user to exist and expects everything to work out perfectly.

when in doubt,
write everything manually,
because even if a package exists,
it's so old and outdated,
it's not even worth fixing all the errors,
so you may as well,
grow your own APIs

it'll be faster!

I delete all the bookmarks manually thinking that I will get rid of the bar, but instead I was left with this!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!! 😡

Instead of worrying about API rate limits I made my code manually parse the html from a website.

And the code still works great!

FUCK U GOOGLE PHOTOS, I MANUALLY UPLOAD PHOTOS FROM THE APP AND THEN DELETE ONE FROM THE WEB APP FROM MY PC BECAUSE I DIDNT WANT THAT ONE UPLOADED.....
BUT IT DELETED IT ON MY PHONE.... WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lesson of the Day: Manually copy all photos to PC and external HD first. Then upload the ones you want.

This is taking a while.... i wonder if i have enough disk space.....

This stupid fucker of my senior writes code directly in server. Whenever I give my branch name to merge and deploy, he types code manually again in the server. This introduced a bug and I had to fix it in server again.

I love when this happens to me.
1. Restarts manually the webserver.
2. 5 seconds later, i try to reach one of the websites and i am surprised of the 'the site is down' error and begin to investigate the reason.
3. 30 seconds later: "oh im stupid".

That moment when it takes 4 hours to automate a task which would otherwise take 15min all 2 months to do manually.

I just discovered the clear notifications button...

I wasted so much time going through them manually 😂

I took 5 hours to do something using Chat GPT that manually could've done in less than hour.

Am i cool or what? 😎

Fuck everyone who does the above

Emmet - mainly for the multiplication.

Small things like being able to just type in ul>li*5 rather than manually typing it out

Controlling 8 robots at the same time, with a specific formation and the ability to manually control a "leader" with a joystick, it was my graduation theses project

Boss: "we're going to take over a project from another company. that's what we know so far - any other questions?"
Me: "do we get the history (svn/git) or just current source? unit tests?"
Other company: "no history for you. no unit tests - app was only tested manually"
Me: *sigh* :'(

Going through a WordPress site that hasn't been updated in over a year. It's so severely infected that even the Wordfence and Security plugins say it's fine. So I'm going through the file structure manually.

File by file, folder by folder manually searching for infected files. This is the most tedious thing I've had to do. But I'm learning some really interesting tips. One file looked empty and I almost missed it because the code had been tabbed over a few hundred times clearing it way off the the right of the screen.

Wrote a small code to test my "Reset Password" feature, service console kept printing: User not found and returns 404

I was 100% I added that user manually to the database....

Well it turned out I added that user to the wrong database. I need to sleep T_T

I broke the system!

This rant has the same tag twice, because I manually added the one that would be added by the category I chose 😏.

How my boss uses git:
1. Clone repo into separate folder
2. Run WinMerge against his version
3. Manually update his version with changes

4 years ago

Me: you probably shouldn’t use an IDE, you would learn a lot more about the language if you did things manually.

JavaFriend: Nah I’m all good

Me: alright you do you

4 years LATER

Me: *gets text* oh it’s from JavaFriend. *opens text*

JavaFriend: “dude so I decided to stop using my IDE’s and start doing things manually and I’m learning so much”

Me: ...
Me: I know. I’ve been doing it like this for a reason.

I know IDEs are helpful and good to use but personally I like to work without them and I feel it helps you learn the language more of you go without it.
If you have opinions on the topic in general lemme know.

I'm preparing a major deployment & what do I see?

SOMEONE MANUALLY EDITED PROD AGAIN

IMO they deserve to be hit on their hands with a stick every time they even think of fucking with it.

Really can't be bothered with installing arch Linux manually... I feel dirty downloading antergos :-/

Didn't realize how much I got used to PHPStorm until I used VS Code for a personal project and got errors from forgetting to manually add my Use statements. :P

Fixing a Woocommerce order editing manually a php serialized object in db. 😨️

I hate it when I can't install & update a package through apt, instead it keeps bugging me to manually download the latest deb file every time it boots.

So my time saver automation can not be used because automation is not reliable.

Yeah sure make me extract data manually from 800 urls by hand and see if there is no human error.

Fuck my life.

Unit testing is cool and all, but FFS...

If you want unit test - cool. But its not drop-in replacement for functional testing!

I believe each release should be manually tested.

When you break the build because you committed the 7 .cs files you modified, but didn't manually "add" the new one you created.

Girlfriend to Siri: Set my alarm to 05:30
Siri (with the man voice): ok, I have set your alarm to 05:03
Girlfriend (absolutely satisfied): Ok but I don't want this

*manually turns wrong alarm off and the correct one on*

Linux users, do you admin your server manually or do you use any web interface tool? After getting the third server of the day running I think I need a tool to make the work faster. Do you have any recommendation? Cpanel ist pretty neat but sadly not free

Turns out deleting a git branch also deletes your unchanged changes fuckkkkk

Well as good a time as any to learn how to use 'git fsck' and manually sort through hundreds of dangling blobs

FML

Why I hate typescript. Bored during quarantine so thought I rant a little more about this.
1. Compilation time, typescript increases project compilation time from 1 second to 3-4 seconds, which is basically triple or quadruple the time if you don't know math.
2. You write a minimum of 30% more code.
3. Many libraries are not written in TS by default, which means you end up having to manually install a fuckton of @types/(pckg name) manually which is incredibly shit.
4. Typescript is an absolute pain in the ass when using dynamic libraries. Plus when it works, it usually ends up finding maybe 1-2 errors in your code MAX, completely not worth it.
5.JSDoc is 100 times better. (Still don't use it though).
6. I actually enjoy loosely typed languages, having your compiler being smart enough to tell what the type of your input is is much better than it assuming you're a fucking retard so it forces you to manually type everything.

P.S if you hate loosely typed languages, kindly resort to Angular, C#, Java or whatever and leave JS alone, cunt.

My car: the only clock I have to manually -- today...

I put together my first custom computer, was too cheap to buy a case for it, at the end I realized the "power button" is on the case itself!! Anyone else turn on a computer by manually using a metal object to connect the power pins :/

So... My boss is "hard working", meaning that she'd rather edit and upload a html file every morning at 5am for the last 5 years and manually send a push notification notifying the user that the new file is up than learning a little bit about automation (cron? IFTTT?) and even after letting her know about those options she has "no time"

She'd rather keep source code (pug, sass), manually build on local computer and upload to live servers instead of learning git and letting me setup once and for all CI/CD

SERIOUSLY!?!? NO TIME!?!? But there's time to do things at a turtle pace like in the 90s... 🤦‍♂️

Designers! Argh. I’ve been busy with a form for over two days and STILL it isnt good enough. I told everybody this CMS is a pain the ass and every element has to be positioned manually.

THAT YOUR FUCKING CHECKBOX ISNT LIKE YOUR PSD ISNT MY PROBLEM.

PLEASE THROW YOURSELF OFF A BUILDING?!

New team, same discussions...

* Why should we use cmake? It is way better to add visual studio project files to the repository and allow everyone to mess around in the compiler setting dialogs. Nobody needs cmake if not targeting multiple platforms!
* clang-format? What kind of black magic is this? It is way better to manually try to stick with each source file's existing formatting - regardless of how messed up it is - and manually check that from time to time!
* Why should we use the latest visual studio 2019 compiler, if 2017 and 2015 do just fine? This way we can save license fees!

/irony off

Just to mention a few highlights...

So it's friday and I'm almost done with all my work and suddenly manager comes in and asks me that client wants to talk to you. I agree and we move into meeting room here is how conversation goes
(C)lient-There is some new feature we want to add -/Describes his feature which is somewhat like an existing feature we have. The feature needs many images which area already present/-
(M)e-Ohkay this can be done. How much time is allotted.
C- You can take a month or two -/I have fucking happy fucking over the moon beacuse i knew it wouldn't take more than 2 days-/
M-Sure
C- Yeah make sure the images are rotated manually.
M-*In Shock* Manually? You mean like i have to right click and then select rotate -/in which ever direction you mother is getting fucked?-/
C-Yeah..
M- But there is a tool which can do the same thing!
C-No the tool maybe wrong we want 100 percent accuracy.
M-*For a while like this -_-* I can start the tool and then manually check if any image is wrongly rotated.
C-No you can be wrong sometimes. .
-/Meanwhile the manager is giving me a stern look like/-
M-If i can be wrong after running tool why i can't BE WRONG WHEN I HAVE TO ROTATE THE IMAGE 10000 TIMESSSSS
C- do it manually.
*He cuts the call!*
I have no fucking option now! THESE FUCKING CLIENT'S AND THEIR BALL LICKING MANAGER FUCK MY LIFE FUCK MY JOB
I'LL DO IT BY SCRIPT ONLY FIRE ME YOU FUCKING MORONS
ASSHOLLESSS

When the client has full CMS access but you, the programmer, is tasked to manually edit stuff.

CMS admin does not mean that I also manually like to add content for marketing 🌍

Some people think that web development is easy because they use framework for responsive designs, they dont know the struggle of manually using media query in css.

So I decided today was a good day to manually compile python 3.6 for my raspberry pi as it hasn't yet been added to any supported repo's. Site says: this will take approximately 30 minutes.
3 hours later: "starting unit testing"

When you create a script to automate something, and that one guy keeps estimating high on the task because he likes to do it manually and refuses to use it because "his way is simple and safer".

I've been doing it wrong for 6 months! I've been building -> uploading my work manually to server using ssh.
Now I decided I write a script for that shit .-.

Though I'm still not able to make output take a different color in Ubuntu default terminal, tried many solutions but I still fail :\
Any suggestions?

Spent my afternoon looking after the reason why a value manually set kept being overriden.

Put a die() every possible place it could happen. Every. Single. Place.

No die() got triggered.

Death sounds so sweet.

Project idea: make a fucking neural network visualizer, that gets my fucking model and gives me a proper fancy fucking visualisation in jpeg. 😐

I'm angry cuz I have to make that shit manually rn, and shit ain't playing nice.

Manually updated a user who was attending a focus group's password by resetting it to a known hash...

Forgot the "WHERE user_id" part of the SQL.

- i = ++i or i = i+=1
- No Documentation
- Not Splitting up a Stylesheet
- function()
{ }
if(){ } (inconsistent style)
- Using a ton of if's instead of a switch
- Installing Nvidia drivers manually on Linux thrice! Had to reinstall it everytime!
- sudo rm -rf /
- Being unorganized in terms of personal projects.

hey is there a non code browser automation tool? one with a record and play button?

I have to "copy / create" 16 drupal pages with a gazillion modules manually by hand. And each page takes an hour of tedious click work.
Thank you for your help ❤️

OMG. Just had the worst convo with my supervisor. She's a dev and she does not understand why scalability is important.

We have a really bad client who has a fucking insane amount of pages and they want to change some stuff on a few and my supervisor just said manually add it in with if satements.

I replied saying this client will want more things changed let me take the extra hlaf hour to make it scalable.

She responded no just do manually.

I wanted to get in to rant about how scalability is important but it was the end of the day and I was to tired.

My boss told me to dismantle the continuous integration server for me project and document how to do those manually.

We deploy manually

After growing problems at work with basically being nothing more than an office junior who gets used to manually input data, with the occasional bits of development.

I sent my CV to a company one of my friends works for applying for a role as a full stack graduate developer.

I have a telephone interview tomorrow, little bit nervous

A whole morning running around the offices updating every PC manually as no PC in the company is managed remotely/centrally #yey

Defaults are great.

Especially if they change and suddenly cause havoc.

:)

When will I learn that some defaults should be explicitly set.... *sigh*

At least Proxmox has an REST API to change the default value of aio=uring to aio=native....

Otherwise I'd have to update a few hundred VMs manually. :(

mongpoop

this is how our upgrade from mongoose v5 to v6 went

v5: strictQuery is false by default

v6: strictQuery is true be default

^ realized this once our update went live, we are now manually migrating several hundreds of production data.

v7: strictQuery is false by default.

what!!!

When your company expects you to manually change information in the production db by saying "hey, client Billy wants his stuff moved back to where it was"

Updated our rancher setup today and it just completely fucked the server, kubernetes stopped working, rancher stopped working. Guess who's going to install kubernetes manually next week? ;--;

Doing it manually, is less stressful and much quicker. It cant be that hard to add something to a calendar. You fucking worthless piece of shit Siri.

Rant at myself for being a moron.

Manually tried moving some InnoDB stuff around on a local server and corrupted a load of databases, with no backups since June 28th. Spent all day yesterday trying to recover with no luck 😑

Lesson learned: need to backup databases more regularly. Any good tools?

My dad asked a facebook group for help decoding a calibration script I wrote for the new 3D printer, instead of just asking me, and every single person yelled at him that "oh that's so dangerous if you didn't write it yourself don't run it, if you can't manually write gcode sell your printer" etc.

why are these groups always full of degenerate assholes? (and why do they legitimately think calibrating a printer has to be done by manually writing bits to the EEPROM with a needle, or it's not worth having a printer?)

shutdown an old Jenkins CI pipeline from one of our teams... after one month they call us to bring it online again because they don't know how to build it manually.... lol #automation #scripting #jenkins

Currently working on a Selenium script to do my timesheet for me. It's been 30 minutes and it still doesn't work because I'm having trouble selecting the input fields correctly (the ID's are dynamic and keep changing!)

It takes me 30 seconds to do it manually.

I just joined a new company.
Their CI pipeline is to give root access to staging and prod servers to every developer in the company and the manually git pull each repository (8-10 repos per server) and manually set nginx and port configurations. And if this wasn't enough, all of the 30 sites they have are basically the same site and they make the changes manually for each tenant (no env file). I'm amazed at how hard some people are willing to work.

when Verizon fios (now frontier) has dns routing issues and half your websites including slack won't load. so you spend the first 30 minutes of your day researching and finally end up having to manually change your dns servers to Google in your routers admin. fucking mondays man....

Never! Deploy! To production! On Thursday! *banging my head against the wall*
Now I need to revert some things manually on production ON MY DAY OFF 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

When I was doing replacements in a text file manually and some smug coder did the same thing in 5 min after I'd spent a day doing it ...

Does anyone know of a advertisement service that donates to charity directly? I'd like to put ads on my site, but I don't wanna do it manually

When the login form tells me that my password is too short. The password that I've manually set in the database in my local dev environment.

Why do payment portals never work correctly?
I just wanted to pay for a service (monthly fee, but you can pay manually), and after the very last step, the fucking site just got stuck at a loading circle. 🤨 Now I have no idea if the payment got through or not.

PHP code that didn't use sanitize, but manually checked if strings contained ' or ". Not even in a function, but manually implemented whenever the person writing that burning dumpsterfire thought it was a good idea to check for that.

Code also didn't report, it just exited without error code. Users would just get a white screen if that spaghetti code "security" system got tripped.

Not leaning on unit tests. I usually write them after testing my code manually, and lose time for testing feature by hand.

Client: Why was the payment applied to the May invoice?

Me: Because that is the only open bill.

Client: We want to apply it to the July invoice.

Me: What business rules exist to hold an invoice open in order for the payment to be applied to a future invoice?

Client: ...can you manually correct this?

Facepalm.

Paying a bill manually.... Accidentally put an extra zero on there... FML

Anyone who formats their code manually is a fuck there I said it.

Also stop using a tool that has no contextual understanding of your code. You're wasting more so much fucking time trying to guess shit that an ide would automatically know and doing stuff that an ide would automatically do.

Tried to install WAMP manually to learn PHP. It almost put me off development altogether, but great when it worked and I learnt a lot doing it. The next time I used Xampp before moving on to vagrant & VMs.

Sometimes setting up the Dev environment is the hardest part of learning. But better to learn in dev than production!

Last day at work: goodbye overnight sessions breeding over some arcane legacy code that blew up in prod or manually restoring dozens of backups because the customer continued to work while systems went down due to power failure.

Colleagues last commit message at that place: It just works (Friday 8pm then shipping the code to prod)

Build pipelines are awesome. What's not awesome is forgetting the 'pipeline' bit.

Sure, let's have each TeamCity job in the 'pipeline' build the deployable from different places! You must manually merge your code from dev to test to release.

What's that? The functionality working in dev isn't there in production? I wonder how that happened.

So there are a few bugs with IDEA and qwertz keyboards, namely there are combos on @ { < keys (you know, not that i would use those in java). After setting it to qwerty, manually deleting every shortcut and restarting the whole damn universe, still nothing. Very useful, 10/10, would use again.

Except not.

!rant
I fucking hate maven and its shitty principles and the pain in the ass it fucking is to fucking use a dependency from another fucking repo that isn't in your fucking artifactory yet and how it can't fucking resolve it even when you downloaded it manually to your fucking m2 cache

O.M.F.G how much longer is that gonna take?!?! It's been 2 days already! 2 fucking days!!!

That's it. Fuck the docs. I'm going hardcore now: hooking up a debugger and diving into the unseen depths of Spring's automatic JPA repo initialization.

Unless any one of you knows how to
1. Manually create jpa repo interface bean
2. Make transactions work [also enable them manually by declaring beans in @Configuration]

and do all this in a single @Bean method. Jpa provider - hibernate.

Nobody? Not a single one? Allright then, I'm going in :(

Ok. that made a full circle.

I needed for ONCE to manually do git things.

(There is a plugin in V which wil lrecompile SCSS to CSS if CSS file is deleted, I want to comit delete).

WHY DO I HAVE VIM ON MY WINDOWS ????

And most importantly, how do I exit it ?

Took a whack at installing arch...

I failed. 😔
My rj-45 port is broken and i I couldn't figure out how to manually set a static ip, default gateway and dns for the wifi interface thru the terminal when installing.

Oh well. Maybe next time

manually writing multiselector widget with jquery and javascript, because you need to be able hackily pass in metadata for some stupid fucking edge case that the previous generation didn't want to deal with

please euthanize me, i fucking hate frontend and im sure it hates me back

Oh wow, fuck Ansible

Turns out there is no way to automatically undo the things it did, because surely nobody would ever want to remove software...

Now I have a half fucked server that I can manually clean up again 👍

Every. Single. Time. I've tried to learn and implement proper Unit/Instrumentation testing, the main Android devs decide to go for something else or introduce some feature or Gradle plugin that breaks every tutorial out there. I find it way easier to just test everything manually than learning the new yearly trend. Am I the only one?

AI based epidemiologist with a simulator support to rerun it's experiment. It can identify trends in epidemic arrivals and provide solutions to stop it. Advantage will be faster and safer experiments, which is now done manually.

The OnePlus website literally has a "Request Repair" option under the instructions to manually upgrade your OS 🤣

you don't know what true anger is until you have to manually merge a big assignment because your colleague made unreported changes ALL OVER YOUR GODDAMN FILES

When I have a Jenkins build fail, then fix the issue, I run the build four more times manually to make that branch "sunny" again.

That moment you underestimated a local company site from using APIs. So you manually collect the data by scraping the HTML. But months later learn that they DO in fact use APIs.

Me: we need to manually prevent it? How well has that worked in the past.... And you know with Russia...

Sick of manually punching holes in punchcards, moved to microcode on the mighty DEC PDP-11...time for my nap.

Im left speechless today when my boss (a dev for over 10 years) prefers to use WinMerge to manually merge frequent code changes instead of using the GIT source control.

I am fucking dumb, why I've created an empty project to implement the new feature instead of making a fucking local branch. Now I need to merge this shit manually. fuck fuck fuck

installing vs2015 required running one installer. Uninstalling vs2015 requires spending an hour+ manually uninstalling every stupid add-on and supplementary program that was added by that one installer.

Me: Where is your unit tests?
Dev: I tested manually and it worked.
Me: What if there are changes to the code in future?
Dev: We'll manually retest the implementation. It'll be fine.

*flip table*

This condition over here which is never supposed to be true sometimes becomes true, no one know how or why, just change it manually in prod whenever that happens...

My brain literally hurts after today. Client gave me a task to make some fucking masonry like layout, but he wanted to sort items manually and also he wanted to manually stack two items one above another. That was so fucking hard to make, I can't remember anything harded. Shit...

Every other Windows 10 update cripples my USB Wi-Fi modem and I have to manually install the Vista drivers to get above 10mbps again. #softwaregore

So today I was having this discussion with my colleague regarding a messed up pull request.

Me: are you done merging the remaining branches into master?
Colleague: no, I'm still merging the changes manually.
Me: but why?
Colleague: because the changes will overwrite the changes in master.
Me: but how? It will just conflict and you can keep whichever changes YOU WANT. You can even edit before committing the merge.
Colleague: I'm just redoing the changes manually anyway.
Me: -_-

Gosh!! Do not want to look at my shitty face in the mirror when i get to know that there is a DESC syntax in SQL for sorting data automatically even after i manually finished sorting them in Php.. #Fuckmylife #newbie

My work experience in high school was manually adding hundreds of industrial rubber and PVC related products to an OpenCart store... With every specification and measurement...

The store never went live.

Ansible... Why do one simple task manually, when you can do many smaller more complex ones automatically?

One of these days my Windows 10 system will actually figure out how to obtain an IPv6 address without needing me to manually run ipconfig /renew6 or disable/reenable the network adapter... For now, static IPv6 it is

Google and TikTok sitting is a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G

I see this every time I need to manually update some apps...

Having to manually input over 150 pages of client information, can someone please kill me now???

whats your biggest aha-experience learning about programming? mine was probably finally realizing what an orm does and how it eliminates your need need to write sql manually

It seems Lightroom is not WYSIWYG....

Spent a month touching up photos manually from DNG and now finally Exported them to JPG... most look really bad even though they look really nice in LR...

Just reset all of the adjustments and told LR to auto edit all of them... they look a lot nicer after exporting....

So it seems the correct process is now:

1. Auto correct (but leave white balancing)
2. Export
3. Manually fix the ones I don't like

Git tip: Before doing "git clean -fd" always think twice and backup the whole folder manually before doing that. Take it from me.
Also be careful with, "git pull" 😩

When windows forms required me to dispose of a certain control derivative manually using a .dispose() call because dynamic control creation was causing a memory leak in dotnet, which instead of fixing, microsoft documented, vaguely.

So, right now we upload production code by means of FTP.
I said it would be better to use continuous deployment using Docker, but they said it was overkill (I work at a small company).

Because manually uploading by means of FTP is so much better right...

For whatever reason my Nvidia card is not showing my desktop after a reinstall. I've installed the drivers, ran the xconfig script, and even manually gone in there and edited things. It still won't boot.

This is why the state of Linux needs to get better.

Finally got powerline working in tmux on my iMac. I found some obscure issue where there's an async problem occasionally on mac where you have to reload the daemon and config manually for it to work. Two days of fighting with this but it finally worked! It's a Christmas miracle!

So spending the morning trying to figure out how to build a database with indexing in Java for the first OLX HackerRank question.

It was sort of interesting except now I'm asking myself, why the fuck is a machine learning company interested in knowing that you can manually build a rudimentary DB....

In the interest of "efficiency" and "low overhead", I've decided to make my computer boot to a tty login, start X manually each time, my window manager being openbox (no panels or nothing)

So, I recently started a new job as a "general" IT tech for someone my dad knows. He does insurance billing and everything is done manually (manually copying from pdfs to excel sheets, etc). A couple of weeks ago, I started developing a custom suite of software for automation of some parts of the processes + integration with the task management software we use. At this point, I feel like my boss is turning into a client. Is this a common occurrence? BTW, it's a small company (5 employees including him) and I'm the only person who does tech around here.

Does anyone know a good way to use adblock/ublock but configure it to allow ads only on my fav/selected youtube channels?

Because some youtubers deserve it!

...And I‘m too lazy to manually disable my adblock everytime Iwatch some videos of creators I like :/

I'm trying to stand up a docker container to read a storage queue with dotnet and invoke ffmpeg to convert some videos. For a whole day I fought with this wrapper (FFMpegCore) which kept throwing file not found errors on the ffmpeg binary itself. Locally (windows) it worked fine.

I spent a ton of time trying to install the Debian package, trying to add it to the path manually, trying to just use the wrapper just to generate the arguments I wanted (I'm not an ffmpeg pro, so the fluent API the wrapper has is super useful) and running it manually, nothing worked. Finally, I realized it wasn't getting to the part where I ran it manually: just using the fluent API to get the arguments was invoking ffmpeg and throwing.

I took away the wrapper completely, start ffmpeg manually and it works...

Ay carumba. Things just can't be easy.

@dfox: is it just my Android device or is it the app that new sentences don't automatically start with a capital while typing. Kind of frustrating to manually press shift for each new line. Or am I just a little bit spoiled?

5 hours work to change a simple library to use it in uwp.
Lib was in .net standard so WHY should I change it?
(It is a rename helper that automatically and manually set subtitle name to tv show episode name)

Any good sites/tools for fast web design prototyping? (like jsfiddle but without having to refresh the view (at least manually))

I used to manually pass form fields to Redux and back 😖

Of course I discovered redux-form later but now I’m using final-form and it’s a breeze

Just found a file where they had needed to write in a way to assign a discount to an order based on a code redeem. They did it by manually checking “if SESSION.DISCOUNT_CODE is set, discount = hardcoded_integer”…. Over 100 times.

Just finished the testing of the first script I wrote at work to automate a vital task that had to be carried out manually on a daily basis.

It feels so damn good to know that the whole process is free from the variable of human error.

I wish gamedevs put more focus on the cheating problem in multiplayer games.

When you have to manually ban people in your esports minor qualifier there is something wrong...

I need to find a better game :(

Or start a cheat program company for the easy money but I doubt it's legal.

Someone broke our Microsoft deployment toolkit at work and won't own up to it. The whole thing needs nuked and rebuilt. So, I'm stuck with 7 laptops at home to manually build over the weekend.

Why the fucking nuget needs a Microsoft/whatever account and asks for it every 3 seconds? FUCK YOU, you can just install dependencies manually without any fucking account why you fucking bug people perpetually with login screens

me: you know you don't have to install all those common programs manually every time you get a new computer from IT, use Ninite.

college: oh I'll definitely check that out
*continues installing manually*

Ncurses, would you please die? nobody wants to do everything manually. FUCKING HELL

Testing of an automation framework takes longer than doing the task manually for an instance.

did every social media adopt a common AI/ML algo for timeline recommendation or what.

EVERY goddamn platform now recommends posts heavily biased towards the last 5-10 accounts/topics you've interacted with.

I have to manually go delete my history/"saved data" just to get a fresh air of posts every few months.

namecheap doesn't trim the space in the OTP code when you submit it...

if you manually delete the space, it goes through

i mean, it's the little things

Suggesting a way to save each end user having to ask the staff to do tens (up to hundreds) of manual searches.

Answer "we don't need a button like that. It can be done manually"

Sometimes I wonder why I try.

A client project came with a bunch of references missing, and nuget wasn't properly restoring them. I've just spent most of my weekend trawling through the dependencies, extracting them from their nuget packages, and putting them in the appropriate folders manually.

Slowly developing a horrid hatred of nuget...

I gues devrant android app got an update recently [last week?]? Notifications suddenly started to work. Yayy!

But in-app notifications broke. More often than not either tab in notifs [all, ++, comments, etc.] loads nothing and there's no way to re-fetch data manually. If _all_ breaks I have to browse each category manually to see what's new.

Is it just me or is anyone else experiencing this?

Galaxy s7 edge, stock everything.

P.S. I rarely get to rant about devrant :)

Here I am at half past midnight with a pencil and a pair of scissors printing grayscale metalsmith js business cards and manually cutting them for the upcoming jsworldconference.

Not pretending it has a chance against the giant amount of sponsoring the likes of Vue and React get, but hey I will have tried!

I knew when my dad showed me gwbasic on a tandy 1000. Never did more than a high/low guessing game but not bad for a 7 year old. I so do not miss having to manually number lines.

Finding weird stuff that previous devs have done #302:
- they "branched" by manually creating a folder in svn repo then copy pasted in a ton of files from elsewhere... Then committed the lot in one go.

End result: an orphaned branch that confuses repo migration tools and not having any idea what they actually changed...

I wrote a tiny Windows app that switches to High Performance energy profile when plugged into AC and switches to Balanced when on battery. It sits on the tray and you can override settings manually. I made it back when I used Windows 10, but it's also handy on other Windows versions

Is it worth publishing?

Finally!! The rust team fixed the environment setup thingies for Windows. Finally! I can run rust without needing to do all those bullshits like downloading things manually and installing thingies.
Thanks rust team. Good job

Google drive won't load on my pc, google docs fucks up the formating. I know i can stil download the document from the web io but i have to upload it every once and then to have it synchronized manually and that runins my mood rn.

Does anyone here work with automated acceptance tests? I don't know a lot about them and I've been wondering if it's too time consuming to write them and if it's better to test manually

I can't stand getting assigned tasks via email. There's no persistence. I don't want to manually go enter the data into a tool that you as my manager could have done the first time.

I just worked on a project for 4.5 weeks and delivered my code to a stream. Just after the delivery, I get a mail from my program manager saying they've moved to a different stream.
Now I need to manually merge my 4.5 weeks of code into the new stream.
Ahh. The pain!

mobile browsers not refreshing stylesheets.

this is the worst thing that mankind ever did. I mean, when you are trying to design a website and the changes you make to the css are not loaded by the browser, you have no clue wtf is going on. There is no way to make the browser refresh the stylesheet. Reloading, entering the url manually, reopening the tab, restarting the browser, nothing works. The only fix is to manually clear the app's cache in android settings.

The strange thing here is that at first the stylesheet gets refreshed like it should, but after some time the cache seems to be capped and it wont load sh*t...

This is soooo frustrating :(((

i am becoming our companies excel advanced expert. actually i am just better at internet searching than the rest of us. creating fully automated sheets makes me wonder what all of the office stuff learned during their appreticeship and how they can avoid using office properly while entering everything manually.

So, I have updated tslint and now I have close to a hundred warnings related to order of imports. 😔

I tried several tools for imports sorting, but none outputs it in a way tslint expects it to be. 😒

God damn it, I have to sort it all manually. 😩
