I went to sleep immediately while taking a break from debugging and the dream was me debugging the same error the entire time. Then I woke up in my chair and resumed debugging

Developer confession.

I always git push a new branch even though I know it will error as there's no upstream, just to copy the full git push with set upstream arguments from the error message.

Have you ever been hangover at work?
What's the worst hangover you experienced?

I once puked on my keyboard (just a little bit) and spent the next 2 hours cleaning it in total silence while my coworkers couldn't stop laughing and making jokes ;_;

When you come back from your coffee break, and realize you just wrote 40 lines of Python, but the app you're working in was written in NodeJS. I really need this coffee.

When you are the only one that uses Linux in the entire organization

Funny programmer fantasy porn titles.

Add your 2 cents.

I'll start with.

Naive user needs hot reloading for her frontend.

Boss GF wants you to fix her backend.

Go!

void intDatetostr(char *strDate, int intDate) {
if (intDate == 0) {
sprintf(strDate, "%09ld", intDate);
} else {
sprintf(strDate, "%-09ld", intDate);
}
}

1. Coding gets me naturally high. Mentally sound and sharpens my focus.

2. Beating a challenge by code is fun. And watching something I spent much time on working is great. Like setting up all those dominos to watch them cascade and fall down one after another...bliss!

3. People think I'm smart because I can type instructions into inanimate objects and make lights flash on the screen.

No rant here but just wanted to remind the ladies and gentlemen to take that break and spend time with your family or friends, girlfriends, boyfriends, and pets. If someone s been meaning to do it and got bogged down by work, I hope this serves as a reminder.

someone asks me : What do people not tell you about being a software engineer?

So the thing is , No one actually knows what they’re talking about.

See, the thing about building software is that usually you are inventing something.

Not in a pretentious way. I don’t mean “inventing something” as in inventing the light bulb, but I mean making something new that someone else hasn’t built before (well, hopefully — if you’re building something someone else already built, then you might be doing it wrong).

Because of this, people are usually just coming up with solutions based on what they think will work.

And that’s about the best you can do. Sure, the more experience you have, the more you can recognize certain patterns, or lay certain architectural foundations, but you’re mostly just coming up with something new. Maybe not 100% new, maybe some sort of slightly different thing than another thing that exists, but it’s still new.

So yeah, no one knows what they’re talking about. You’ll sit in meetings, with people talking about all kinds of smart-sounding stuff. Most people are trying their best to understand and play catch-up. No one wants to be the dumb one. People try to make it a science as much as possible, but if you really wanna be honest, people are just trying stuff and seeing if it works.

It’s not a bad thing. That’s just the nature of software development.

Thats how a zebra looks🤣

Explain it like telegram

A 30 minute Jenkins pipeline just happened to start at the same time as today’s Nintendo Direct. Whoops. Guess I’ll take a break.

It feels good when you mentor someone.

I did GSoC 2018, so I encouraged my friends(3) to take part in GSoC'19. On May 6 the results were declared and I wasn't selected (hurts) but 2 of my friends were selected and after hearing that I completely forgot about my own failure.

I mean one of them didn't even knew how to code in December'18 and he got selected for the program in May'19.

I have to admit it was frustrating in the starting, explaining how Git works, how not to mess up branches etc but in the end it all paid off.

But still there was some work to do because only 2/3 got selected so I pushed the 3rd, told him not get demotivated, started finding internship for him and now he'll be working with an org on developing their app.

Weird thing about this is that neither I got selected for the program nor I have an internship for the summers but I am still f**king happy.

I'm not saying you're stupid, just that you hardly ever do any thinking and even on those rare occasions the results make me wish you hadn't tried.

Windows containers with Kubernetes on AWS and Azure are thing now.

What does that mean? Is it now possible to containerize system critical windows 3.1 legacy software from the 90ties (like the ticketing software at Airport Paris Orly) and orchestrate it in the cloud?

Do you know any use cases for Microsoft Windows in the cloud?

That moment when your manager tells you that he's okay with ultra-flexible schedules, because "I trusts you 100%. You proved your value, please come late if you prefer"

I love my job

Drank this now my entire nervous system is shutting down!

Who else enjoys playing Chess or other board games?

I'm so tired, I tried to push code to GrubHub.

I confess that I know how to manage memory on assembly language, but I never knew how to use the memory button of my Casio calculator :'v Should I be ashamed?

Hopefully not a repost 😂

Well said. Well said indeed.

It should be fucking illegal to get such ads on a fitness app c'mon, my fat ass tryna lose some weight here

A synthwave theme for VS Code, you can even customize it with css!

"A different error message! Finally some progress!"

The real software development life cycle.

CSS, is that you ????

On point.....
