Debugging AWS IAM credentials wondering why they don't work for 5 hours.

Note to self: Check the clock first next time.

Just got messaged by my superior that one of the stores went down so we we're launching our custom one today. That's great considering that there is enough work in there to last us for 3 months and it cannot be avoided since we've already been pushing for the most M of the MVPs

Basecamp.

CTO: I told you to be careful with the live bucket and now it's completely exposed to the public. I don't think I can trust you with this can you please generate your files somewhere else. This is unacceptable.
*Me frantically trying to figure out what's going on*
*5mins later*
CTO: ?? Any ideas?
Me: A theory
Workers were executing function X which called save on a model that dint have a path name but instead it called function Y which generated a path for the object to be saved in. This has overridden all the original objects with newly generated ones.

I created my versions out of the newly generated ones. Here's the command and the functions mentioned above.
*Hands over code/links etc*

CTO: Oh I guess I just panicked hahah

All of the functions and commands were written by him and executed... By him.

Me: Sorry X I won't be able to continue my job search. Currently in hospital got hit by a car.

Recruiter: I'm so sorry to hear that hope your recovery goes well.

2hrs later

Recruiter: just a catch-up - when did you say you're getting discharged?

😐

So Mac book pro or razer stealth... 🤔

When is the next devRant animation coming out?

My "new desktop PC".
6 core xeon CPU with hyperthreading x2 (24 virtual cores) over clocked to 3.9ghz

128gb ddr3 ecc ram
256gb SCSI hard drives in RAID 0
256 Samsung ssd
AMD r9 something something 8gb ddr5 vram gpu

Got it for £120 on eBay (except for the ssd and gpu). Still missing a sound card :(

I have no idea on what to use it yet except for development but I thought it'd be cool to build a pretty good "desktop pc" for around £350-£400.

"we removed function keys the obsolete tech, to add... Function keys"

Sooo there is a website out there that teaches you how to code and rewards you by undressing a girl after you complete each task successfully.

Not going to endorse them here but I have really really mixed feelings about that.

Opinions?

Catching up on devRant Podcasts. I'm quite surprised on how many people love PHP

Gentlemen,
Please take a look at the enclosed hard drive and let me know if you'll be able to transfer files/software from it onto a laptop. If so I'll send you a laptop so you can get it done.

*Opens box*

Just applied for 30+ jobs, hopefully I won't look desperate...

"no micro managing here!"

*Boss comes in at 5*
- how much work have you done?
- why isn't this finished yet?
- you're working too slow
- show me git status
- show me git log
- why is this taking you so long?

Any good C++ learning resources out there?

Is it too unprofessional to say that I like bacon on my CV?

*job ad* We strongly adhere to TDD

Reality:
Me: yeah but shouldn't we write tests first and then get X finished?
Manager: No takes too much time, we finish X and then we decide if it's worth testing.

TL;DR: my boss is a dick and I don't know what to do.

Been working at the company for a month now, I enjoy the atmosphere and the culture (startup btw) but I really cannot stand my superior - there's only two of us in the team. Any screw up he blames it on me without a second thought. First week in he assigned their new website project to me and honestly they have quite unrealistic deadlines. I mean they didn't even have the infrastructure for it nor the manpower to build one yet it needs to be finished by the end of this month. On top of that the spec keeps changing literally every 2-3 hours.

Also since I've forgotten to mention the guy I'm working under is one of the founders so I can't really go and talk to someone about it. I feel pretty screwed over, anyone has any advice or been in a situation like this? Is it too early to quit?

My "senior developer" colleague just committed 300Mbs worth of node modules in addition to static files bundle. So not only I have to wait 20mins for the changeset to download on this god damned internet over barrels connection but also resolve merge conflicts on 100+ files. You think that was a mistake? Oh no I've asked him about it and it was intentional ...

I swear to god you'll never feel more epic while coding than when you listen to the dovahkiin song.

Love the way our "senior" dev jumps into a project without reading the docs or even comments for that matter, removes and shifts things around then sits with me for 3 hours wondering why it won't work.

Waiting for that stack overflow bounty

i'm spending my time,
watching the tests go by,
failing them all,
I stare at the wall,
hoping that you won't notice them too,
i'm spending my time

Bought Dell PowerEdge R410, x2 Xeon 5500 and 64GB of RAM for £57. My god it's Christmas already!

British company supplied with Ukrainian documentation for the wrong application. Needless to say it was in Russian.

So new job and my superior is someone that keeps on writing really bad code. Whenever I point it out to him I can tell he's annoyed. Dont want to get fired after a week of working here :(
