Why soap when you can do rest? fucking why? 😠

I once reviewed a Pull Request made by a fairly junior developer. They had joined recently, and this was one of the first times they had to touch a bigger part of the code.

Due to a mix of inexperience, new (to them) coding standards and lack of git knowledge, they ended up with a mess of a PR, with a few thousand lines changed, and no way to split it off.
I ended up spending the best part of a day reviewing the whole thing and requesting changes.

Even with the long list of improvements, however, I wasn't sure they would get the magnitude of their fuckup.
So I decided to use a real-world, palpable way to show them what they had done: I went and printed the github diff for that PR. It rendered the glorious amount of 73 pages.

I'll never forget their face, and those of their teammates, when I barged into the room with a thick wad of paper and deposited them on their desk.

At least it worked. I never saw another big, ill-thought pull request from them again.

How can I work when this happens? ...

Coding is a superpower. With it, you can bend reality to your will. You can make the world a better place. Or you can destroy it.

var date = new Date();
var month = date.getMonth();
console.log(month); // 2

who thought it would be a good idea to start the months of at 0 rather then 1

Everyone here ranting about a fucking missing semicolon. I can't remember the last time a missing semicolon was the issue...

When you touch your code that was written 2 years ago. It's like looking on pictures of young yourself, naive and ambitious ;)

I definitelly need this! Invention of the year. :D

XML sucks. Why can't we just use JSON everywhere?

Deployed my first website to production yesterday and the world isn't burning, the error logs have been empty and my (non-tech) colleagues think it is amazing.
I'm somewhat proud of myself.

I'm going to get message from the NSA for posting this. 😂😂

what am i doing with my life.
