Dev slump.
For me dev slump is usually feeling overwhelmed and that leads to being unmotivated.
My solution usually involves, go slow, way slower than usual. "Make function... that takes a thing. well that worked..." rather than try to think of everything at once.
Also get some easy tasks broken out and do those (even unrelated). That tends to get me going, feeling productive, then I start to approach the harder stuff that was maybe more demoralizing.2 -
Plan before you start a project (write pseudocode, draw a small diagram, research other implementations, etc). Without a plan, those projects are usually the ones that turn out unfinished.1

Interviewer: Em. I see.
#End of story.3 -
Pressing that “deploy to production” button when it usually consists of multiple projects and databases updating at once.
Maybe I should look at separating them one year. -
!dev
Damn, does it ever feel good to back in the gym.
Feels good to be taking care of the body as much as I usually do the mind.8 -
Dev memes usually make me cringe. It's like the people who make them are trying too hard; the lack of social skills just jumps off the screen.2
-
My gf (she is a dev too) gets mad at me, cause i ask for her help and it usually ends up as plain rubberducking...

When clients say "I want this done in Wordpress" my stock answer (usually just in my mind) is "Do you mean Turdpress?"4

Just noticed:
In every programming language, your first goal usually is to write "Hello World".
Except for php. There "phpinfo();" is the equivalent of that.2 -
Every time I see this my heart starts beating like crazy, I'm filled with joy and hope and I feel like living my life right. Like in the Christmas morning.

How do you usually learn a new language?
My way is to start a project, then figure it out as I go.

9 hours into a *serious call*... "hey team, let's try the thing *taylorviktorya * suggested 15 minutes in"
Without fail. Usually, it's check spelling, semicolons, and syntax. -

When stuck, a little nap (20 min or so) and a cup of coffee (3 or 4 liters 😂) usually do the trick.5 -
This is driving me nuts. Anyone know of this malware or whatever shit it is? Every now and then ads pop up. Usually in the launcher, but sometimes also in other apps. It'd be nice to get rid of... Usually when I look in the activity manager theres nothing, but this time I managed to capture it.
14 -
What's the very first thing you usually do when you notice your browser tell you that there is no connection?

How do I avoid carpal tunnel? Simple: my school bag (it's a laptop bag) usually has like 3 laptops in it plus miscellany tools and such, making it over 100 pounds usually. I also don't use a strap, so it's hand-hold only. It also helps train grip strength!4
-
"When developers encounter confusion, they usually blame the language instead of their lack of understanding."
I love this. It's from the You Don't Know JS Book Series that I'm reading. -
I dream about discovering weird side effects on certain built-in functions way too often.
I usually implement those myself but without side effects. All in the dream. -
Not leaning on unit tests. I usually write them after testing my code manually, and lose time for testing feature by hand.1
-
I usually never put stickers on my laptop, as they usually fade away and leave nasty residue after a while, therefore I fucking hate having discovered stickermule, I have right now ~100$ worth of stickers favorited, I really have to hold back to not just pull the trigger on them and finally smash my laptop full of them, including my devrant stickers, that have been laying here for a long time now. 😫1

I usually don't like frontend but dammit, I'm in love with Less.

-
Me reviewing PRs lately:
"Should I fight it now, or should I let the abscess grow?"
——
But in my distress/demotivation it’s usually: peace now, pain later2 -
Nobody asks about your education because you have to self-educate to pass an interview.
Usually, you work for a foreign company. And usually, you pay small taxes because you're not counted as an employee.
You pay lots of money to volunteers helping your country's army. I think every volunteer knows IT-workers help the army a lot. Though others help too, more or less.1 -
It's incredible how many sites don't check / handle localStorage permissions.. they usually just completely break.
That is they use a div to block the view despite the page usually still working ..
There literally is an API to check for permissions..2 -
Used to be anime, but now I just have a tendency to hoard files (usually movies/shows)...just in case streaming services go down.

rant == false && help == true
I usually don't like posting non rant stuff here but I need help.
How do you usually design your service communication class?
I am working on a mobile app which contains talking to a REST service, I usually put all network calls in one class. Down side if it becomes a big class it becomes a pain to maintain. Any thoughts?
For a backend service I usually go with Repository design and it is working out well for me. But for mobile Apps I'd like to see if there is a better approach4 -
Worst experience with new job?
I haven't had any good experience with a new job to begin with. After the interview, it's usually only downhill from there.1 -
I usually click 30 times before I'm able to ++ a comment/rant by double clicking
I mean, it's called double, double click 😂👍 -
What's your most trusted computer part manufacturer list? Personally, it goes something like this:
CPU: AMD. They're performing at or above Intel's spec, without the weekly IME holes. Sometimes cost a little more, but they last way longer.
GPU: AMD, ASUS, MSI. MSI is usually over-priced but performs a smidge better, ASUS is usually a good middle-ground. Anything with an AMD chipset's usually gonna hold together fairly well, though, and won't require massively-unstable closed-source drivers for decent Linux performance. "but muh cuda" doesn't fly when OpenCL is actually, well, open.
Storage: Seagate, obviously, and SanDisk for cheap SSDs. SanDisk SSDs, especially their cheapest ones, are durable as shit for price. As for the Seagate pick... is that not self-explanatory?
Mobo: ASUS, ASRock if you need garbage in a pinch. ASUS boards are usually fairly tough, and ASRock is cheap trash for that backup tower that's gone bad in the closet.
PSU: EVGA, accept no substitute. EVGA PSUs are durable as fuck and fairly cheap, compared to other "ultra-durable" brands.36 -

I shot myself in the foot again!!
These incident usually happen at restless night.
Some night I become too restless so I do what any programmer would do, I program.
The "novel" idea just come up and I code until I become too tired. I usually finish the prototype of the project before I fell asleep.
I usually found out that I have reinvent the wheel the next morning! Great. My "novel" idea is not too "novel" after all.
It is hard to find the novel project these day since it is too hard to beat the decade of collective intelligence of programmer.8 -

Usually when listening to music I have on my main Spotify playlist (using headphones), after a good 7-8h sleep followed by a good breakfast.

For me I have a collection of various genres of music I've collected over time and I slap together several songs at the days start and get going.
Usually I end up looping a single high energy song all day (rock usually. Especially older rock)13 -
Freeze time with the computer I am sat on.

Being able to regularly participate in an activity that most members of my species are barely capable of! And have it usually compile successfully.

I'm starting to feel like coding is too much boilerplate all the time.
I've been thinking about why, and I think (and I'm trying to sound humble here) it's because I'm usually honoring the SRP. But this entails this enormous drawback of enormous amount of code!
Don't get me wrong, I'm usually glad with the design I end up with .... but only after what seems to be hours of typing
Anyone recognize this problem? Suggestions, comments?1 -
Commenting the code at the end of the day. Not while working on them. Usually end up having comments of create action on update action.

Looking at server rentals prices.
Windows ones are, as a rule, about 2x more expensive than linux ones.
Which made me realize the reason why it's usually the more crap tech that wins and spreads:

In other news, there's no news today.5 -
