Dear gradle, no offense but I believe Rome took less time to build!

Client: I want to go to the moon!

Me: Sure thing! I will build you a rocket.

Client: But I want you to build me a car.

Me: A car can not take you to the moon.

Client: Build me a car.

Me: OK.

Build ransomware!😂😛

Finish my Gradle build

"It's compiling"

Everything ready, let's start building!

1. I'm a programmer, that does not mean I know every possible programming language. Yes, I can build Android apps, standalone softwares, serverside frameworks. No, I do not know how to build frigging websites!

2. "You can build a website in 2 days, you're a programmer". Tell a single mechanic to build an entire car in 2 days or tell a civil engineer to build an entire building in 2 days and I'll build your website in 2 days.

AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!
Why does your family think that being a programmer means being a magician who can just pull any kind of software, hardware, app, website out of their hat?

That build...

I build sandcastles.

Holy shitt that gradle speed

Step 1: Turn off any intellisense and debug tools.
Step 2: Code all day without running the code.
Step 3: Push everything to the build server and avoid looking at the result.
Step 4: Go home.

LIKE A BOSS!

They might just as well rename Android Studio to Build Progress Bar Simulator 3000.

You guys been saying something about Gradle build times being not accurate?

This is the prototype of my "Build Button". I press the button and it executes a build process. Keyboard shortcuts weren't good enough for me.

This is the most intense build message I've ever read

the #1 android dev excuse for legitimately slacking off

When I take a break from ranting, this is where you can find me.

Team Android == gradle build...;

Google should pay us for every second we waste by running a Gradle build in Android Studio.

When you about to quit your company xP

Fixed broken project into something that builds with check-in comment:
Unbroken builds ( also unicorn inside)
added ascii unicorn as I'm no liar.

don't forget to release build ;)

OMFG! YES! I just solved an issue that made build times close to 20 minutes. Not it's only a couple of seconds! YES!!!

Bug :/ Feature

I went on an interview was given an algorithm to solve, solved it in 30 mins and they had allocated 20 mins for it. So I guess I suck. I build shit, I don't do algos that often so I'm obviously rusty.

interviewer: so why should we hire you over a CS graduate.

me: cause I can get shit done.

... akward silence

interviewer: what do you mean by that? like html and CSS?

me: as you can see, I have built large scale real-time web apps with React/Redux (the stack they supposedly use and the position they're hiring for!) the knowledge I have is practical, it can't be learned from books, and it can't be learned from a course. Only building, breaking and rebuilding over time will teach you this knowledge. So essentially a CS grad, who hasn't committed the same amount of hours as I have, can't possibly match me. But they probably can better explain the real world applications of using linked lists...and won't have to Google what Pascal's triangle is like I had to....

interviewer: I see. we will be in touch.

lol well I guess they'll be in touch..

Remember last week's build I randomly popped in between the rant feed?

Here's what it ended up being like!

Early morning I walk in to a build failure email.
"Oh shit! It failed and I'm on the Cc list."
.
"Please don't be me. Please don't be me. Didn't I build it already?" *compulsively launches local build*
*Ctrl-C's current build and feels angry for doubting self*
*Repeats, while trying to replay the incidents of last night in the head.*
"Fuck this. I'm certain I built the module."
.. scrolls email ..
"This is not even my change!"
.. scroll ..
"This is not even my code base!"
*feels foolish, but MAJORLY relieved*

Was trying to build a toolchain when I saw this in the FAQ...

Today I opened Android studio........end of story!

A coworker complained that the ci server is to slow for a build. Found 4000 js library source files which are copied in each build.

"If builders built houses the way programmers built programs, the first woodpecker to come along would destroy civilization." Gerald weinberg.

Have knowledge to build anything but no idea what to build.

Wow! Gradle!! I waited for you so long.

instant gradle build!

*Build project*
*Build failed*
- Arrrg! Lets try cleaning first.
*Clean project*
*Clean failed*
- ...
- What the FUCK! How does the clean fucking project fail?!? Just delete fucking output you pile of shit!

Am I the only one who doesn't work an a potato?

when a graphics card is more expensive than your current PC build :|

Dev: My VM is not working. Something is wrong with VM.
Me: Have you made any changes to the code?
Dev: It shouldn't matter my VM is not working.
[I go and check the Dev's VM.]
Me: ಠ_ಠ The build output literally states your unit tests failed

Final build...

I tried to build an application in a container, but the build failed with 54 warnings and 86 errors.

My coworker watched the build fail from behind me, and jokingly said "Well... have fun going through all that".

I told him to wait just a second.

I switched out the image for the build step with a slightly altered one.
Build fails with one error.

Coworker just stares at the screen with his mouth open.

I'm starting to appreciate Docker now.

HP sucks because:
shitty hinges,
shitty build quality,
shitty USB ports,
shitty customer service,
shitty website

Gradle Build Running

Visual studio 2017 with Xamarin:

* writing some sweet code, life is good.. build and run.
*change int age to 2, build, build failed, no single message why.
*clean, clean failed, no single message why.
* build rebuild clean all or by project, nothing works, no single message why.
*change nothing, restart VS, build success !
* writing some code, same problem
*restart VS, "this project is not compatible with Visual Studio"

Good bye guys, I'm gonna kill myself

That's really fucking neat gradle.
And i had to wait 5 mins for this shit to show up

Gradle build finished in 20 minutes.

20 minutes? Wtf Gradle.

I was building my iOS app in xcode, when I get an error. It was some swift library thing I did not recognize.
Then without changing anything:
Build again.
Error
Build again.
Error
Build again
No errors at all. Run my app and everything works perfectly.

Tools are just tools,

Black Friday for Dev....

Boss asked hey can you build me out a site?...Me ...sure got the PSD for the site?...Boss...no just build something out...Me...okayyyy....I build out a site...Boss...I don't really like the design...Me... ....*internal eye roll because I'm not a designer*

Been a while since I last build my Pc. Fun times!

If I don't commit, then I can't break the build.

I am building a PC for my first time and thought about every step more than twice. This is going to be my build:

Processor: AMD Ryzen™ 7 2700
Mainboard: X370
RAM: Corsair DIMM 8 GB DDR4-2400
Video card: Zotac NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
SSD: Samsung 960 EVO 250 GB
HDD: Seagate ST1000DM010 1 TB
PSU: PURE POWER 10 | 300W
Case: Aerocool Cylon RGB Midi-Tower - black

What are your opinions on this build?

Wow!
Makefiles are SO much cooler than I thought before

$< = the first dependency file
$^ = all the dependency files
$@ = the build target

AND if I try to build something who's dependencies don't exist, it'll automatically try to build them!

Followed lectures from Udemy, build a burger 🍔 with div again!
The entire course build burger multiple times with 400+ videos... 🤦‍♂️
Is it really a thing? No matter what frontend framework you pick, you got build a burger with it 🤤

That moment when you try showing an issue to your senior developer and gradle takes forever to build.

Clicks build...
Goes to get coffee.
Takes a sip.
*1500 sips later*
Gradle build still running...

A good build tool should...

When you leave for lunch after starting a build. Only to return and realize you forgot to actually start the build process.. >.<

"Let's build this on Sharepoint..."

That moment when you build your webpack project and it doesn't get the progress right. lookin like h4ck3rm4n now

Currently trying to convert a Python (2.7) framework into its C++. Surprise, surprise, the C++ APIs are also all deprecated

"Here's a guide to creating your project using our non-deprecated framework, except it will still call our deprecated methods under the hood"

Additionally, I had to make this framework work with OpenCV, which was complaining about my C++ framework being deprecated and not being able to link to missing modules (which were already installed).
All of this has eaten 4 hours of my life, I could as well throw the laptop out of the window

"Try reinstalling the missing modules separately"
*installation takes less than 1 minute*
*runs build again, everything work*

I'm done for today *flies away in desperation*

I know its not finished. But I would like to present you the status of my chieftec project. :)

So my wife bought a really old android tablet (it's on gingerbread lol) so I've decided to bring it up to android pie, yes that means building a custom ROM, from scratch, for a 7 year old device. I will be documenting my progress and if I fail then at least it will be published research as the memory optimization in android pie is so much smoother now it should be good. If it fails I shall try to build android go to the device.

It's still got a 1.5ghz processor and 1gb of ram which should be fine so here's hoping.

21 lines of business logic (including whitespace and comments)

9 lines of build config

386 lines of tests (and tests for the tests)

When your code works from the first time

Building a pull request on our Build Server takes 14 hours, it can do about 10 builds at a time and there are already 26 builds in the queue and it isn't even 10am.

I've been waiting for a build since I queued it on Friday - because the queue is actually a stack.

And management / senior developers are like...

Gradle build has started

I'M GONNA KILL THIS MAC

what the FUCK!!!???!!!??? IT WORKED YESTERDAY!!!!

Now the whole iOS build pipeline fails again complaining smth about distribution profiles. Then about certificates. And then it starts using a completely unrelated certificate and complaining that provisioning profile does not include it...

what the f...

IT FUCKING WORKED YESTERDAY!!!!!!

Gradle Build Running 🙄

How to make a movie hacking scene:
Pretend like your typing while running a Linux make build from source

First week in a new job and I broke the build in production on a Friday afternoon.

ARGH the next person to tell me how X is the best toolchain is getting their fucking head cut off! Holy fucking shit, this is even more annoying than the whole IDE debate. At least with IDEs everyone has a favourite one and they hate others accordingly, with build toolchains there's always a huge group of fucktards sucking each other's dick by adding new features, and they're always too busy wanking their sparkling features for small projects to realise how fucking inefficient their polished dings and dongs are for any bigger job.

For the millionth time, no, we're not switching to this popular toolchain just because it gave you a blowjob with your pet project (although that would indeed be a tempting offer), so stop talking how fast and flexible it is. Until you can show how it compiles a 500 MB project faster than our current setup, I don't give a shit how many people jerk on that nookie.

Whomever broke the build and hasn't fixed it for days show yourself you coward!

Updating Windows from X build to X build it's like playing the Russian roulette but with the chamber full of bullets.

fck you visual studio!!! seriously what is wrong with you?!?
~me peacfully writing some code ~
ok let's see what we did
vs: I can't compile that. The key whateverKey in line 15 is not defined.
me: ok let's investigate...
nowhere in line 15 use whateverKey.... ok....
wait I didn't change that file at all.
~me clicking rebuild solution~
vs: can't build that because of whateverKey in line 15.
me : WTF?!?
checking git diff -> file not changed
me okkkkkkk......
closing visual studio and reopening solution.
Build succeeded.
What the actuall hell?!?
I'm spending way too much time trying to get that shity peace of software to do what it is supposed to do!

We're having build system problems and I'm probably the most experienced when it comes to build systems.

I'm not experienced with build systems.

First real PC (not a laptop)! Runs Arch (Manjaro) Linux!

6 hours later...

! rant
Today has been a good day.
Woke up telling myself I should make a build for my game to see how it perform (didn't do a single one in several months). Was expecting some issues like always. But everything built on first try, on Windows and Linux (which is a fist attempt for the later).
So yea, today has been a good day 😎

When your build was successful

I was playing kitchen with my niece today and we were baking a cake. After she put it in the toy oven, without thinking, I spat out:

"How long do you think it will build for?"

I've never seen such a confused look 😂

Life as a developer:
1. install cool new lib
2. getting an error
3. google for solutions
4. try one solution => step 2
+ repeat recursively

Felt sorry for this old guy, so I have decieded to actualize him. Fresh paint inside and outside plus the new board arrived as well. :)

When you're watching Microsoft Build and don't know the speaker

Build final JS framework. 😋

Console: “Build Succeded”
Me:

MRW my boss expects me to fix a build due for release in 10 mins

One does not really appreciate pre-built binaries until he has to build a massive code-base [and it takes hours on top-notch hardware, plus a lot of error tweaking].

Thank you to all the open-source supporters that take their time to pre-compile binaries and/or automate builds.

As contributors, they deserve our appreciation as much as developers do.

retire. lol

Then I actually have the energy to build the stuff I want to build. and for fun

Build death star

Me while gradle building

!rant
the profile builder went really slow huh?!

When I was new to GitHub, I used to think that the projects with “build : passing” were the only legit projects :p

I think I executed more than 250 build plans in > 12 build plans.

I don't want to click anymore.

-.-

Half done.

More than drunk.

Yaaaay

Build it in Silverlight.

Working with a new team and I don't understand how this is normal or ok.

Me: Does anyone need help troubleshooting the broken build or can I revert this change that broke it so I can push my change out?

Dev: Stop build shaming me, I wouldn't leave the build in a failing state.

Me: Well, I wasn't sure how long to wait, before asking.... it's been broken for 4 hours.

Dev: It's the development environment, you should expect development to be going on.

Me: Yes and appears that this project architecture doesn't support any sort of isolation for development. So nobody can deploy anything except through the development branch.

Dev: That's what development is for IMO, so it doesn't bother me.

Build failed
Click build solution again
Build works.

I can't tell if it's me, the code, windows updates or visual studio updates but something fucked up.

Filthy sysadmin wouldn't let me call the iOS build server "CiderMill" :(

Holy fucking shit, it worked on the first build.

Pretty sure I’ve finally got over my anxiety of going to gym. Trying to move more during the day and get my weekly exercise in the mornings but my general anxiety messes up a lot.

Now I’m feeling pretty fresh for a full day of build errors 🙃

I FUCKING HATE IT WHEN I HAVE TO BUILD SOMETHING FROM SOURCE!!!!

So I wanted to install a package with pip. Shouldn't be that difficult, right? RIGHT? Lmao
Things I encountered on this adventure in no particular order:
- multiple undocumented dependencies, only explained on stackoverflow or some github issues
- inconsistent and outdated documentation spread over multiple pages on multiple websites
- Python version can't be too old or too new
- other external software version incompatibilities
- Build process that takes several minutes just to fail, then try again and fail with exactly the same outcome after a few minutes
- fucking SVN is needed?!?!?!
- VS Code is needed for completely manual build ????
- cmd/powershell incompatibilites
- required reboots

At some point I just gave up... Now I don't even remember what I crap I installed that I don't need anymore.
Please for the love of god provide prebuild packages or at least a very SIMPLE build process -_-

Last week: "let's build this page this way!"
Me: styles page
One day later: "no, that's build the wrong way, let's build it this other way!"

-_-'

For the build is dark, and full of errors.

someone needs to try to build something that is really like windows but build off linux

You learn to use build scripts and VC the hard way after one "gcc -c main.cpp -o main.cpp"

Build connections

If I would get 1 Dollar for everyone who breaks the build, I would never have to work again...

Is it weird that I'm excited to get to test my code for my side project that I'm working on? It feels like I should hate this since I'm going to graduate next year and my career will be doing this as a job. Really, though, I'm glad to make sure my code is designed properly. It gives me confidence in my programming skills. BTW, if anyone is trying to use a build tool in Python there are NO guides to get started that I've seen! I had to go through trial and error to get pybuilder running!

my coworker just disabled the unit tests in the build process

without telling anybody and without comment in the log

I was happy that my code worked then it was a little bit fishy that the build was so fast

I am so angry now and of course I need to fix the tests as well

Waiting for Jenkins to complete a build is a great excuse to browse devRant for a bit :D

Me: "Need help with build config problems, please help almighty documentation page!"

Docs Page: "Nah fam, I got 4 headers about problems with no text, a blank code example, and 2 error 404 pages."

And that's why I don't like build pipelines.

Repost from Reddit, i will probably do another with certain color theme, i just prefer this to be 'dark' build as it is how i initially immagined it.
I plan on expanding with certain micro pc, as server, 3d printer and some true hifi.
Suggestions?

Fricking gradle build times :(

Planning on building a Ryzen 5 2400G setup for light gaming/home lab stuff, I need it to run a bunch of VMs and have passable frame rates in games on Linux (I hardly play AAA hard to port games, so should be okay there).

Planning on going full Linux for this, you guys got any tips/warnings/gotchas? Also, have any of you encountered issues with using NVMe SSDs on Linux?

I seriously don't fucking understand those people who like programming iDevices.

I mean, in my personal experience you have:
- iPhone not connecting to a WiFi (while working on a network project)
- Mac, while using multiple desktops on 2 monitors: I have the 3rd desktop active on the 2nd monitor, search for terminal to open it and it opens in the 1st desktop of the first monitor
- while making an app (ionic or unity), is about 5 to 15 times slower compared to the same android apps (same exact code, but gotta go throught XCode, y'know?)
- takes YEARS to download XCode, but is necessary to even just build for lastest iPhones updated
- takes years to upload to AppStore and when it's done it just tells you "oh bitch, you know what? you forgot that fucking icon for tablets, how about you rebuild it all? and NO, you have to change the build number or I won't accept it"
- App quality was so pedantic on the first publish but then always fucks it up at the second upload, like "hey we checked it the first time, now we can just 100% trust it works and doesn't use anything scammy"
- code+compiled app for iOS is like 1GB while android vode+build is like 100MB WTF do you even put in those 900MB? random trash? WHY?
- I'm not even gonna get into the forums or the amount of money you have to pay for both product and services
- MacOS works ALMOST like Linux, but takes all the worst from both windows and linux to give you the worst performance with the best graphics, but it looks cool, so doesn't matter

A good world would be a world where Apple goes bankrupt after Steve Jobs died

Waiting for Gradle Build to finish...

GameDeving.. soon my boss asks us if we can use CI, we make unity fully function with jenkins, after a week, he asks us to use gitlab ci, we make it, 2 hours later he sees the results: "yeah.. forget about ci.. let's use the cloud build".

i'm crying.

Gradle build running....FOREVER!

last build failed

Build failure on Friday

Build Phase Scripts in Swift

If the first build of your new build plan is green, something went wrong

Ran the build today 4:30 and found out our grunt file is missing some pretty critical error checks without even logging a warning. A dependency was unavailable and it was pushed to production. The site was down for 30+ minutes.

Our makefile contains these lines:
bs: build-and-start
build-and-start:
[...]

So `make bs` is our go-to command

I feel like an idiot... I just realized why my builds were failing.
My entrypoint was setup as to not overwrite a specific file if it was already there. The problem is, the said file is auto-generated, and I need a different configuration for it to work properly in docker. But I forgot this, and the result was a failing build, plus me scratching my head for a few hours. :(

For some reason github is returning 503 on our build servers randomly. And I need to checkout several repositories to build everything successfully. Builds are automatic and I don't want to maintain local mirror. And we wanted to release tomorrow (but were smart enough to promise this week). And on top of everything build takes six hours and sometime fails randomly even without github. But I'm still optimistic - it's Monday after all. We still have enough time to make it in time for Friday release :-)

Xamarin Build Started....

What is the best PC spec for development?

Things I mostly work on: Node frameworks, React Native and some Java and C++ (QT)

I know that even a dual core is enough for this but it takes a while even for a webpack build to complete in my current build.

If your the installation instructions for your software are to clone the repo and build from source then fuck you!

I want to use the thing not tinker with it. Make it available on apt or something

Made a dockerfile for a reproducible build environment today. It's been a few months since I had this much fun working, so refreshing.

This counts as devops right? In that case I might take a better look at devops sometime in the near future, I think I might like it. I just did it out of necessity (didn't want to bloat my system with build tools and sdks) but I ended up liking it. For some reason devops seems exceedingly boring to me, which prevented me from looking into it until now, let's see if I can overcome my laziness and learn it.

I'm considering to build a powerful, small/semi-portable mini-ITX PC. Just small box you can easily travel with, kinda like a laptop but a lot cheaper and without a screen, keyboard and battery - I can't really work on laptops anyway (ergonomics!). Stuffed with something like a 4400G when Renoir (mainstream Zen2) comes out, so lots of processing power. Add 32GB+ RAM and one or two SSDs.

I'd say the reason is that I might work from abroad (remotely) next year, but honestly, it just gives me an excuse to break my piggy bank!

What do you think?

Stop the grade build...

When the Build fail in the Morning, I am to the Build like
"You have failed my City"

Our "agile" process uses one-month long sprints, ending on the last day of the month with a demo. (I'll rant some other time about non-consistent iteration lengths.)

Our sprint ends today (Monday). What was the most logical time to introduce changes that affect the architecture and break every single build? How about 4PM last Friday?

We're still waiting on the build breaker to show up while trying to figure out what the heck we can cobble together and run to show that we actually did something in the last month.

I mean, seriously? Skipping over the line that disables certificates checks... Did you forget where the button to run the build is?

Question / Suggestions.
CPU : AMD or Intel ?
GPU : AMD or Nvidia ?

I want to build a High-end PC (Desktop).

shutdown an old Jenkins CI pipeline from one of our teams... after one month they call us to bring it online again because they don't know how to build it manually.... lol #automation #scripting #jenkins

Works on my machine: Yes
Works on build server: Yes

DEPLOY!

I need an AI that can figure out how to compile this POS project at my company. Nobody who works here knows how to compile the damn thing. The last guy that might have known his computer was wiped. I am going to ask that people document their current build environments and how to build. That way 5 years from now I don't have to deal with this shit again.

I don't understand the point of giving a 'new' mobile build, 'everyday' to clients

"Today I did minor bug fixes and minor architecture level changes"

Now what, are you going to laser scan the build to see my changes? :|

1. Open project
2. Project builds successfully
3. Make a bunch of changes
4. Build fails
5. Undo changes
6. Build succeeds again
7. Reapply changes from #3
8. Build succeeds

Someone explain this to me!

Build a spaceship.

Me: Yea, I'm having a good day. Sun's shining, Birds are singing. I'm really enjoying my lunch.

Errors on the build I started before lunch:

In a world of Alpha, Beta, and Sigma males, be a Stable Release Male.

Fffffuuuuuucccckkkk gradle builds, I just wanna go to bed😭😭😭

Build attempt #582918 failed
Build attempt #582919 failed
Build attempt #582920 successful

Wait what...

I think something is wrong with this build...

since everybody seems to hate gradle i would like to say how much i like gradle for its possibility to build even big java projects from the commandline without the need of a a lot o scripts and especially the possibility to create a wrapper in order to use it even when its not installed on said machine.
it is the only reason why i am learning java now (i fucking loathe eclipse at the moment).

and regarding its speed. i had both. windows and linux. and for some reason i could only verify its slowliness on windows.

full drupal site build in 24 hours.

6 hours design
6 hours infrastructure
12 hours build (including custom modules)

I see many people try to build automated insults using ML and reddit roast me, is it possible to build an automated compliment bot ?

Build Failure

Please update your Android Studio or your computer to the newer versions and stop ranting about Gradle build time.
Please!!!

Always remember to "git submodule update", I spent ages debugging a build today because the build system's submodule directory was empty.

When ever I need to get a passing build quickly...

Main branch running locally - fine
Main branch locally connected to QA dB - fine
Main branch on QA server with QA dB - NOPE

OK - build main locally, push to QA server - fine
WTF.jpg
Main build by build server, push to QA - nope

Rebuild QA vm and dB - build main, push to QA - nope

Turn on full server logging - PASS.

MAXIMUM WHAT

How is C and C++ development done in reallife ffs?

Like, you got no ecosystem whatsoever, just thousands of build chains. How does this work?

That frustration when it takes long time to build, yet you forgot to add logs

You are paid to build sht, not to answer questions.

- Eli the Computer Guy

Person : Today you worked for 18 hours. What did you accomplish?

Me : I did no progress in the code base.

Person : How is that possible? You were on the IDE all the time.

Me : When you have a huge package pulled in, that takes 3 hours to build, for every single change you do,

And the build path is screwed :D

Was wondering why my builds/tests were taking so long. OH HEY THERE KASPERSKY WHY YOU TAKING UP 80% OF MY RESOURCES?!!
Just fuck this pile of shit. Cant it do a low intensity scan without completely blocking me from doing any work?!

The new devRant avatar feature is so cool and there are so many ideas for customization being posted. Maybe at some point our dev community can build and submit custom devRant avatar objects according to devRant specs. I might even try to build a Bernoulli box 😀
Thoughts?

Build pipelines are awesome. What's not awesome is forgetting the 'pipeline' bit.

Sure, let's have each TeamCity job in the 'pipeline' build the deployable from different places! You must manually merge your code from dev to test to release.

What's that? The functionality working in dev isn't there in production? I wonder how that happened.

Gotta love it when CMake manages to change the way it handles GLEW in the latest build and breaks the QT moc inclusion directive in the previous. I absolutely detest the current state of cross platform build tools and environments. The amount of ffing time wasted on this crap is just beyond me.

I feel like the best years of my life have been spent waiting for Gradle to build...

When I have a Jenkins build fail, then fix the issue, I run the build four more times manually to make that branch "sunny" again.

Hello community!
I have a some Questions for you
I want to "Convert" my Prebuild PC into a Normal case...

(Budget around 500-800CHF)
(Its low but I think its manageable)
Thank you for your suggestions in your comments!

Ten to seven, Friday, still working. Praying this build finishes successfully 👌

Spending ten minutes waiting for the build manager to figure out which build to give me for the new project I'm on

Project won't build anymore ... Fuckkkk

Changing code and pushing it to the dev build server, so i don't have to wait till the build finishes on my local machine

Everyone sees a notification popup when the build has failed... ( auto build on commit + RSS feeds for build status)

When you do the drag and remove of the react-native app on the phone and realise on the next build it doesnt work because i need to remove app from settings because it got disabled

Its Friday, i spent less time that younger me would have finding that. I consider it a successful debug session.

Build failed: "CL.exe has exited with exit code 5"

Thank you Visual Studio for the detailed error report about why the build fails! I can finally fix it!

(This is not fixable by running VS as administrator, also the output file is not running nor locked by some process)

I've been trying to build docs that worked before for my little project for a fucking week. A problem with dependency, because it couldn't just install for whatever magical reason, although in another repo the dep was installed just perfectly.

A few seconds ago it built. Again, magically.

Heads up, fellow tech nerds: if you're an Amazon Prime member and have ever wanted a Raspberry Pi, there's a good deal on a starter kit, 20% off for Prime Day! Search for "CanaKit Raspberry Pi 3 Complete Starter Kit".

I've always wanted to build a project with a Pi, and now mine's coming Friday! Build project suggestions?

Note to self: Next time remember to clean build when CMake is throwing an error, before you start whining to the library support team.

Question: We are planning to transition our old ES5 codebase to modern ES6/ES7 and even typescript.

What would be the build tool you would recommend if we want to start supporting ES6/ES7 and even Typescript?

Webpack, Vite some other?

This is a vanilla Javascript Project with large codebase it's been built using custom build tools like UglifyJS and UglifyCSS and of after lots of begging it finally got the green light to move to a more modern build tool and start supporting a more standard JavaScript Features.

Mainly I want to move to TypeScript but transition would be slow so the build tool would need to support .ts and .js as well, that is traspile both the .ts and .js into one final production build.

What build tool would you recommend for that?

Started a side project.
Learnt flutter and firebase.
Started coding app.
Four months pass by.
App is mostly ready.
Wakes up on Saturday morning.
Updates Android Studio and SDK because, why not?

Build failed!
Dependency depreciation warnings!
Java errors!
Firebase errors!
Emulator stopped running!

Wify is angry with me as we planned shopping but now this. Fortunately, she's also in IT, so she understands..

FML! Spent the entire day stackoverflowing and fixing errors!

8PM evening, I am back to Friday's status. My shoulder and neck hurts but my mind is chilled.

What the fuck! Sick of this shitty build system we have. Apparently once you have used it too many times the same way, a bug kicks in. So you rhn another of their shittty tools to "update" and now it says you have no buildtools. Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!! Fu&#! Fu&#! Fu&#! Fu&#! F f f fuuuuuuuuu&#!

So for the past one month I'm working on an enhancement in a product coded in C++ and shell script, running on RHEL. After toiling away for almost 10 hours/day for a month, the enhacement is ready. Coded, tested, documented. Ready to ship.

The client is supposed to recieve the update as a drop. 1 day before the drop is scheduled to be released to Quality Control, I fire an overnight build on the build machine, update the change request ticket, update other related tickets, inform QC of the drop to be released tomorrow. On the D-day, I package the drop using the company's painfully arduous method. Everything is ready by the evening, and the drop is good to go.

At 7pm (one hour before the drop is to be released), Jack fucking Jack-o-lantern (one of the top most exec in the company) tells me that the default value of the parameter introduced in the enhancement, needs to be changed from 86400 to 1500. HALF AN HOUR BEFORE THE DROP IS TO BE RELAEASED!

Now here I am, changing the value in over 25 files, followed by firing an overnight build, followed by sanity testing, change specific testing, followed by drop packaging, followed by inform QC that the drop will be delayed.

All because fucking jack-o-lantern wanted to change the fucking default value.
GOOD FOR YOU FUCKING JACK.

I love docker, but I must confess that I do not wait for the build looking to the screen 😅

All right then, my setup as well. I exchanged 2 24" for 1 40" 4k monitor and I'm never going back. Perfect for coding.

Build test project in VS, all tests are visible in test explorer.

Make a trivial change and build, all tests disappear.

Restart VS and rebuild, all tests visible.

Make another trivial change and build, all tests disappear.

I'm beginning to think VS isn't very good.

Build pushed to production and is ready to be delivered to the client. May 1st today. Day off. Silently fix bugs and build.

God dammit, I hate my bloody coworker sometimes. He's doing a huge refactor, and committing... which is fine, but he's clearly NEVER run the fucking test suite. I didn't write that much coverage so you could commit something that breaks the build and then fuck off to lunch.

Not only has he not run the test suite, I don't think he's run his changes AT ALL. The bloody modules don't even import the way he's written it now.
