Who else hates hackerrank coding challenges?

Out at my partner's 21st, going to pop the question as soon as a couple people leave and I can feel my heart trying to make its way out of my ass...

Wish me luck devs!

Dear management,

You can’t say “Move fast and break things”, and then be mad when a tiny thing is broken from time to time.

Love,

Today the collection is expanding with more ducks and new stickers!

Girl I follow on Mastodon was struggling with something on zsh. I suggested she try fish. Girl goes badshit crazy go nuts saying, "I'm tried of faggots telling me to use fish!"

First, it's 2018. That word was like inapropes in like 2004.

Second, I made the mistake of saying I like fish and that it's awesome. After more batshit replies, I decided to walk away. I commented on other people's toots and ignored her.

You don't win fights on social media. So the next time you really want to respond to that reddit thread or toot or tweet, pull up your to do list and go work on something you want to for yourself.

Uncle Bob says:
Software Craftsmanship is not about glory and rockstar status. It’s not about being the overtime hero, or the last minute cowboy. Rather it is about discipline, professionalism, and the desire to constantly improve.

My whole desk smells of "student life".
And I didn't wash the dishes forr... Actually ever. This picture is for you high-tier folks with jobs and fancy setups

KEEEPING IT REAAALL

Over 7 years writing software, through good, bad and ugly.

I still wake up feeling like an impostor most of the days.

Impostor syndrome on fleek.

Not all those who wander are lost

My workstation is suddenly attacked and conquered by the legendry meow and am not allowed to touch it anymore

I've made a thing and I'm proud of it.:D

Since nobody is following the "outside" part of wk119, here you go.

Goodbye Windows Vista hello Ubuntu 😂

RIP Terry Davis

The best programmer in the world has left us,

I swear I'll die alone.. Maybe even very soon

Can you see it? :-)

If recruiters had a playlist 😂

Came in the mail today. I forgot I put in for this! 😂

The difference between 0 and null is that 0 is 0 and null is

Home office and rig. Nothing fancy but looks good and gets the job done 😁

Design Review!

I don't even have a desk at home, I just put my laptop anywhere I feel. And sometimes I just want to be by the fire ^^

Outside more like in a coffee shop for me lol

This is a view from a rooftop in NYC that I sometimes get the pleasure to work from. I really like the view and it’s pretty quiet usually. It also overlooks one of my favorite buildings, the Empire State Building.

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone else’s desks, setups, and remote/outdoor workspaces.

We’ll be featuring them on our recently launched devRant Instagram account, devDesks (https://www.instagram.com/devdesks).

To all those who love Linux more than Windows, I am with you.

But try using a Raspberry pi as your main computer and you can see why I want to deal with Windows hellhole again.

Everyone's posting their PC's for wk119, but I thought I could do better.. think different, so to say :P
My electronics workbench.. cleaned up, I promise! Just that there's so much stuff that I have no idea where else to place it :')

And I wish I could post this BEFORE WanBLowS decided to shit itself again with one of those goddamn fucking Blue Screens of Dicksucking Shaftsystem! At least devRant UWP from @JS96 has the dignity to save the post just in case its host craps itself all over.. FUCK!!!

When I was traveling on the road and playing around with some code...

Got a call about production was going to fail. They thought it's the application server.

I'm the end it was bogus file mods which were scrambled by the backup tool.

Why we didn't find out earlier? Because the java application was coded like this:

-------

String content;

Try {
File bla = new File
content = ... Read operation
} catch (IoException | SecurityEx | RuntimeEx ex)
// nothing we can do here
}

doWork(content);

---------

Why the fuck do we have code reviews? Why not just log or throw a Runtime Exception? Argh... I thought it would be better in enterprise applications. Perhaps I should tell them to not just use pmd, also spotbugs and sonarqube. But the department for the build tools does not have enough employees. Dang.

Anyway. Earned some money for that.

Now it's 2018 and I still get money for the same kind of bugs as 2008.

Do you think you need to be smart at math to be a programmer

People ask me that, my answer is like.. Well.. No

That's kind of bullshit
