Anyone have any good book recommendations? They can be language specific or universal. I'm halfway through clean code and love it. Wondering if there're any other world class resources y'all have used.

Playing email tennis with a client trying to get to the specifics of a vague initial request. Difficult to do without being patronising and condescending. Having to read and edit my emails to make them believe that I don't think they are a useless fucking incompetent twat.

Am I the only one who will spend an hour to write a script that runs only once to save myself from entering in 20 minutes worth of data manually?

Dear friends and family, just because I'm a devloper does not mean I know how to fix all of your IT issues. I am not IT.

How to be a successful developer:
1. Identify a problem that you don't know the answer to.
2. Spend 10 minutes searching Google for a solution, trying various keyword combos.
3. Click the link to the solution in Stackoverflow.
4. Find the solution with the most +1's.
5a. If solution looks good, implement the solution in your code.
5b. If solution is not applicable, return to step 2.
6. Test your implementation.
7a. If the problem is solved, bask in the glory of success and return to step 1.
7b. If the problem is not solved, move your hand vigorously through your hair, pulling out several strands. Exhale loudly. Next return to step 2.

I got 99 problems but a missing semi-colin makes them 132.

Most coders think debugging software is about fixing a mistake. But that’s bullshit. Debugging is actually all about finding the bug, about understanding why the bug was there to begin with. About knowing that its existence was no accident. It came to you, to deliver a message, like an unconscious bubble floating to the surface, popping with a revelation you’ve secretly known all along.

Met the two founders of devRant at NYC Union Square to give me the squishy ball, stickers, and tee in person 😁

Just put in the paperwork to start my own company. I'm pretty excited!

One bad programmer can easily create two new jobs a year!

I want to see a movie where machines gain intelligence and go to war with humanity, only to be defeated when some guy deletes a single semi-colon from their code.

Saw this in a Tumblr blog. Lol

The real truth behind checking solution...

I'm not crazy. I just like talking to 127.0.0.1

Client: we love Internet Explorer, can you show me how the best way to use it?

Me:
Step 1: Open Internet Explorer

Step 5: Never talk about using Internet Explorer again.

when your laptop freezes and you have to hold the power button. feels like putting a pillow over someone, "it'll be over soon... sshhhh shhhhh..."

When trying to enter the bios....

Am I really a Software Developer or am I just really good looking up stuff on Google?

Can't count on my two hands how many times I've done this.

Programming: where getting something to break in a different way counts as progress. 🙌🏼
