Installing the entire system on new machines. Too many configuration files and too much manual work. (New workplace, haven’t automated it yet)

Going over some NodeJS code, and I feel like the scene from "Dude Where's My Car" - "And then....And then..."

Coming from almost three years of 99% python, this hurts my eyes so much

New job, new laptop and I’m out of devRant stickers :(

Science

The fact you’re older doesn’t give you the right to call other people’s 8-months’ engineering effort “shit work”, especially if you didn’t even see the code...

Sincerely,
Your tech lead - me :)

Ex-manager keeps trying to boss me around. Not only that- he now tries to get fame for a project I’ve been doing for six months that he actively avoided managing...

Writing DAL code that I am 99% sure will be replaced really soon along with the database schema.
Angry coding is almost as good as tipsy coding - AMAZING.

PyCharm (and other IntelliJ based stuff), because it's second to none.

Finance lady keeps turning the air conditioning off.
It's either sticky note on the controller or R&D vs. finance lady on an on/off battle...
What do you say?

POCing a neural network thing.
Luckily it's a shallow network, but it's taking a frickin' eternity to train :(

My son is taking a nap and you know what that means - time to write some code!

Brewmaster.
I've been brewing my own beer for about 6 months now and super positive feedback keeps on coming :)

My day:
5:30AM - 2yo son wakes me up, I send him back to his bed
6AM - wakes me up again, gotta grab a coffee
7:30AM - leaving towards the office
8:30AM - finally arriving to the office, after horrible traffic.
*continue working on major schema change I started yesterday*
12:30PM - Lunch + Beer
1:30PM - Tequila time!
*back to work*
7:30PM - Finally done with coding, leaving the office
8PM - home at last
9:30PM - Beer time
9:31PM - "I'll just write a couple of more lines"
12:30AM - "That's it, no more code for today"
12:31AM - "I'll just scroll through devRant"

"SEO optimization"
Ever read what the "O" in SEO stands for, Einstein?

So I developed this proxy server that will throttle down API calls to one of our providers so we don't get blocked for TOS violation...
Some dude had a tool running all day long which crashed 2 minutes before I left work.
This literally ruined my day until I recalled it's all cached!!!!
Mood is back again and I deserve my beer!

So I spent about a day on this brilliant priority calculation formula just to come to the conclusion that FIFO would be a better approach for now

So I've been on vacation for a week now, still two days to go until I get back to work.
It's been super fun, but I am getting pretty stressed about the shit-ton of work I have to do when I come back.
How do you let go?

Just spent a lot of time on custom building an Ubuntu docker container, and forgot to save the image before I accidentally reset the whole thing to blank

Dev life chose me

Writing a design document.

Getting started with Python's asyncio is probably the worst experience I've had with the language in 2+ years I've been using it.

Read about concepts that are new to me and try to implement them.
Code reviews with experienced devs

So I found this sticker while cleaning my desk. Now my work laptop looks better

So I just refreshed LinkedIn and it has a new look.
It's so bad I can now remember Microsoft bought LinkedIn a couple of months back every time I look at it

11:30AM is NOT the best time to vacuum around here!!!!

Espresso, Headphones, chillstep.

Yeah, it would have been great if you didn't truncate the entire database in the middle of my test

I know, I know - yearly self assessment is important. But it sucks :(

Playing around with a POC I'm doing for work, and it works so well I got an IP ban from one of my favorite websites for a massive amount of requests they got from me
