I didn’t want to wait for the adapter to come in…

Literally whole dev world: DRY - Don't Repeat Yourself
My Company: DRY - Do Repeat Yourself

Hey everyone!

Today, @trogus and I are very happy to announce a devRant feature that we’ve been working on for many months. After extensive time and money investment, it’s finally here! Introducing, pixelated avatars!

@trogus came up with this awesome idea about a year ago, but we couldn’t get it just right so we had to tons of work/research to make those pixelated avatars give the full sense of retro and ULTIMATE pixelation. We think everyone will appreciate how this effort turned out.

Anyway, let us know what you think, and we hope you enjoy!

p.s. here is @trogus’s avatar - the model we used to make sure the feature is perfect!

Please contact your optician. Hahahahaha

Switching to R on the last moment from Python for a production build - I wouldn't lie, that was one of the worst choices I ever made.

Reading through the VSCode 1.32.0 release notes like a kid in a candy store.

Made it!!! Starting at CERN on September 1st! :)

A big thank you to you guys for the support in my previous posts!

Fat indeed

Today is the only day to upvote this!!

My work space. The HP was assigned to me, what can I say?

Alright folks, interview for an apprenticeship in a dev position in 1 hour

Wish me luck ^^'

They call it $5/gb hotel wifi, i call it free uncapped 100meg fibre because your security sucks

Oh and they host their entire POS (and database with backups) on the same network accessible to every TV in the hotel

Hello there!

I have 3 goals this year.

Move out

Maintain at least 1 new long term friendship

Be more responsible

I have way more smaller things I want to do but these are the end goals. Each entail their own struggles but I know I can do it.

Keep me responsible fam

Is it just me or is my hard drive having a bad time?

React on Rails can go fuck itself

There is nothing more permanent, than a temporary solution.

Found this 2 years old beauty today:

public boolean hasPermission(User user, Permission permission){
// TODO
return true;
}

The author quit last year.

Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.

Lesson learned: take measures before buying parts

Worst architecture I've seen?

The worst (working here) follow the academic pattern of trying to be perfect when the only measure of 'perfect' should be the user saying "Thank you" or one that no one knows about (the 'it just works' architectural pattern).

A senior developer with a masters degree in software engineering developed a class/object architecture for representing an Invoice in our system. Took almost 3 months to come up with ..

- Contained over 50 interfaces (IInvoice, IOrder, IProduct, etc. mostly just data bags)
- Abstract classes that implemented the interfaces
- Concrete classes that injected behavior via the abstract classes (constructors, Copy methods, converter functions, etc)
- Various data access (SQL server/WCF services) factories

During code reviews I kept saying this design was too complex and too brittle for the changes everyone knew were coming. The web team that would ultimately be using the framework had, at best, vague requirements. Because he had a masters degree, he knew best.

He was proud of nearly perfect academic design (almost 100% test code coverage, very nice class diagrams, lines and boxes, auto-generated documentation, etc), until the DBAs changed table relationships (1:1 turned into 1:M and M:M), field names, etc, and users changed business requirements (ex. concept of an invoice fee changed the total amount due calculation, which broke nearly everything).

That change caused a ripple affect that resulted in a major delay in the web site feature release.

By the time the developer fixed all the issues, the web team wrote their framework and hit the database directly (Dapper+simple DTOs) and his library was never used.

Atom or VSCode?

Here I sit and hesitate, should I code or masturbate.

Literally my job be like...

😁 = 💻

I'm developing some modules for an ERP, and sometimes I want to share the code with the community, but I realise I'm working in a private company, and that makes me sad :(

Yay Google + leaked info!!
New old news again :P

Come on people if you want something to be safe you DO NOT I repeat DO NOT send it to someone else's computer. That's it. Fuck firewalls fuck av fuck it all.
