My senior today, jokingly: "That dark background of yours looks definetly scary"

That was only notepad++. My main tools do not even have option for dark theme 🤨

So, I changed jobs few months ago, and I also graduated from uni lately. Time to update profile..

I probably just found out that a table in our db has two columns for the same thing. And yes, the numbers are non-trivial and do not always match each other. My senior is now looking into it and it seems hilariously painful.

A wild IE-using user appeared! It all comes tumbling down!

So.

a few good old firends of mine wish to learn some coding to make a simple game. Probably for lolz, I do not think that they´re up to anything _too_ serious. Guess who they contacted for mentoring...

They´re up for boot camp, I say.

I just saw a rant shared on facebook, and I instinctively hovered my mouse on the ++ before I realized what I was doing.

Not purging my senior devs code from missing curly branches earlier. Maybe not my worst sin, but DAMN DO I REGRET IT NOW.

So.

After spending almost the whole day to get a project to usable state (VM/git setup etc.) I think that I´m finally getting done, and then it hits me.

I STILL NEED TO CHANGE MY IDE´S THEME TO DARK. PREFERABLY AS DARK AS MY SOUL TORMENTED BY THIS VERY PROJECT.

And I also need to copy my code templates from another project.

"Okay, my query uses wrong date format."

"Why the hell I´ve put that join there? That´s not needed!"

"Why the hell I´ve joined the tables in THAT order?"

Joys of looking at your old code.

FUCKING VARIABLES DESCRIBING COMPLEX OBJECTS NAMED $co.

Note to self: when you extend a functionality by rewriting a relevant part, remember to mark the old code as deprecated or delete it.

AKA "why the hell I´m not seeing anything in logs/db that reflects my changes" T_T

TFW you learn that trim(null) equals empty string in PHP.

I´m starting to understand why people seem to dislike PHP.

finally managed to start with silicon valley S4.

THIS. IS. AWESOME.

"method length is 658 lines" T_T

Client´s software exports files that have .txt-extension. IN ALL CAPS. And all the other crap concerning their imports/exports, not even going there. I want someone to be held responsible.

Well, this day and then 2 week vacation!

Encodings.

when windows 10 crashes and your vagrant takes AGES to get up after windows forced reboot on the crash.

Also found a stupid bug in some validation code I have written. SHAME.

So, I finally got my duck! I´m going to call her Iris as Alfred already resides on my desk IRL.

TFW you find a query in your code that fetches WAY too much data.

*obligatory facedesk*

TFW when you are coding an import for a client and their source data is an inexcusable mess that should be killed with fire. At least thrice.

Seriously, someone should be held responsible for this kind of crap.

When non-IT guys try to speak tech. For clients. Hilarity ensues :/

Single letter or otherwise too abbreviated variable names.

When coworkers/management can´t keep the password management up to date. EVEN WHEN REPEATEDLY BEING TOLD SO.
