"Just push to production"

Got a promotion at work, now manager and opening a brand new location for the tech shop.

That means I have 5x the amount of income to help fund my company and tech, I am so happy.

Been thinking about getting a Surface Pro 3, should I?

When connecting your laptop to an external monitor do you place your laptop to the left or right of the monitor?

Any coding challenge that doesn’t start with modifying an existing code base ignores what 95% of software engineering is.

Just subscribed to the podcast on pocket casts @dfox! Great first episode!

Dreamed about fixing an unsolvable bug in some code that made absolutely zero fucking sense and woke up with a fucking migraine.

A few years ago I was in high school and used to have a small reputation of hacking things. I could hack, just would never hack any school networks or systems (reputation + notice that there was a breach is a bad combo since everyone would immediately suspect you).

Anyways one day the networks internet connection went down in the school district and I was the only one who used a laptop to take notes. So I quickly opened the terminal and ran Wireshark and said to the person to my right "see that button there? yeah I programmed this last night. anytime I press it I can shut down the network so the teacher can't reach her files (she famously only saved them online). *Long dramatic press* Wireshark started scanning the network so all the numbers and lines were going crazy as it viewed the packet info "Now just wait", soon the whole class knew what I had done through whispers and lo and behold a few minutes later and the teacher couldn't reach her files.

Everyone loved me for the rest of the year for saving them from the homework for the week the wifi network was out since it also ended up having to cancel two tests in the class, and a lot more homework and tests in all their other classes. Solidified my reputation and no one fucked with me from that day on.

started learning react earlier today via codecademy - absolutely fantastic setup and explanations. Would recommend.

Now to get my other developer to learn it as well.

"took you long enough" gave me a computer at five - was programming at 6, learned Python and Ruby by 10.

Everyone needs to know about devdocs.io please check it out - it will literally change your life.

note to self: do not use super glue on your keyboard

note to self part two: do not listen to the internet and use nail polish remover to get super glue off your keyboard

Where's Your Coding Happy Place?

is you use linux and don't use guake, are you really a dev?

Installing a new Linux distro and forgot to back up my SSH key from the last distro...

when you fix a bug and it causes 10 more

haven't been able to get back into the groove of programming (depression?). Anyone know how to get back on track?

Give me a reason to switch to Vim from Sublime/Atom?

last night someone explained meditation to me as cache invalidation for your mind

Tried to figure out why my computer was being slow and lagging earlier. Thought it may have been a bad update to the kernel I recently did, or an update to a package.

No, it was chrome and its horrible memory usage.

Does anyone here play RimWorld?

z-index so high this div will end up on my upstairs neighbor's phone

Trying to replace the WiFi card in my laptop only to find out the ONE screw holding it in is completely stripped on the top and I can't get it out 😢

Thanks @dfox for the stickers!
