¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Manually updated a user who was attending a focus group's password by resetting it to a known hash...

Forgot the "WHERE user_id" part of the SQL.

"Don't Z me, bro!"

Went really well through development questions, some basic process stuff... generally a really good interview, only thing that seemed at all unusual was the guy conducting it seemed very young to be holding interviews for such a senior role.

Then we were chatting casually before we wrapped up, I mentioned something about my kids. The guy immediately went stiff as a plank, rushed through mumbled pleasantries to get me out the door, and I got a rejection email 25 minutes later.

It was horrific but I'm guessing I dodged quite the bullet!

JavaScript dev in 2016:

Suggested we set up more formal coding standards even though he was by far the messiest developer...

Then once we did, proceeded to disable linting in almost every file he touched. 😕

Now that winter has really kicked in, my hands refuse to warm up in the morning and I'm typing like some sort of end user or something. 🌨😣🌨

One of those days where you can't even be bothered writing pseudocode.

So high on ideas, so low on motivation and energy to build them. 😑

Was about to follow a guy doing really interesting work on Twitter, then noticed he was using a light background terminal theme.

# rails manage.py runserver
Usage: ...

# python run server
/use/local/opt/python/bin/python2.7: can't find '__main__' module in 'run'

# npm server

Usage: npm <command> ...

# webpack s[TAB]

...

# [TAB]

...

# ./just_fckn_run_pls.sh

zsh: no such file or directory: ./just_fckn_run_pls.sh

# DO IT
zsh: correct DO to do [nyae]? n
zsh: command not found: DO

# exit

Thank you. Come again!

Meta commentary in the devRant feed. 😁

I've tried on and off for years but remain completely unable to engage with any information about formalised design patterns without spacing out. 😴

// TODON'T: .....

`brew upgrade`

Bye bye, virtualenvs! 😣

Building software for other people for a living for 15 years has taught me how to hate the only thing I was ever much good at.

Had to reinstall Gmail on my phone... Settings lost, it defaulted to push notifications for all messages.

Someone broke a per-page analytics call.

1,300 Sentry warning emails in an hour later, I'm finally annoyed enough to do something about it, but the settings UI is horrible. 😥

When you start outsourcing a social networking service.

Spend weeks porting everything to Docker and automating deployments so we can be cloud provider agnostic...

Hosting providers all want long term contracts.
