Second generation coder. I guess it just meshes with the way I think.

Starting new job on the Isle of Man 🇮🇲!

- Prove to myself that I can make it on my own merits.

Impostor syndrome is real.

Nothing like using a ThreadPoolExecutor to thread out my shitty selenium task, so it will go just a bit faster.

We have arrived in the future. I can now use Android Pay to buy my gas.

Whatever I'm not taking it back.

Got the other devs in my office their own debugging rubber duckies.

Anyone here affected it going to be affected by Apples expansion of there template app rule?

We are in the process of launching a service like this to our existing customers. Small stores who can't afford to have their own app developed for them.

This really throws a wrench into our product. If the decision is not reversed, we will likely have to abandoned half a year of work.

Got my new coding buddy!!!

So I'm working our remote build/testing server, and all of a sudden my computer just turns off. No crash message, no error, just turned off. My co-worker tries to help troubleshoot the problem.

Nothing.

I take the computer downstairs to the hardware department. They plug it in and it starts no problems.

After it finishes updating, I take it back upstairs and plug it back in.

Nothing.

I suggest that it is the power cable, and my co-worker looks under his desk. Turns out he had kicked the switch on the surge protector. 😑

Write a README.md

Did you just assume my Filetype?!?!

I made a Python script that clocks me in and out. It even has vacation facilities built in.

So I've been maintaining our company's web products for a few years now with a great senior dev, but why would it ever make sense to have a

bool somebool = returnsBool();
if (somebool == true)
...

WTF?!?! I still fine them in the code to this day.

Any love for clean lids?

I don't get why my boss wants to outsource the easiest part of our next project to India. Not hating on Indian developers, but the 13 hour time difference that makes coordination unnecessarily hard.
