So this is what happened!
It was a rainy Friday, I was asked to add a quick bug fix to a js application, I spent my Friday coding, testing ..., baam the patch is ready ... I wrote a nice commit message explains the problem and the fix but I didn't push the code.
On Monday the fuckin code disappeared, no commit no code no nothing no trace ... To be honest I don't know what happened. I rewrote everything on that Money morning (you can only imagine how pest I was)
I use vim with tmux.
I have done everything I could to figure out what happened to that commit, I even doubted If had did wrote the fix that Friday, but it's not possible to forget few hours of a day
I checked my commit history on the different branches i did everything
No trace ...
Conclusion
My machine is hunted ...
Or I have multiple personalities and one of them is a programmer and he is fucking with me5 -
For me, the bad part of being a dev? it is the pay.
I know many folks here says the pay is good. But in Maldives, The pay for devs are so so so damn damn terrible. Even freelance.
Average pay per month for devs : ~700 usd

What do you call a developer that fixes bugs or add enhancements?
For example, I have , like two projects, none developed by me, I have to add enhancement/ fix bugs when the issues/change-requests arrive.
Now I am preparing my cv and I am like what do I write for these particular projects?
Don't feel right writing developer for these projects since it gives the impression I developed the entire thing. Co-developed does not sound right either. Maintenance? Now it feels more like server operations than anything to do with code. Bug Fixer? Sure got a nice ring to it, but it does not feel professional.
So guys, any ideas?10 -

Best part of being a dev?
You get to bring life out of nothing.
"You get to play god."
How awesome is that? -
I have a colleague who has 2 monitors at work.But only uses one, other is switched off
Tried convincing. Did not work. He just prefers one. I just do not understand.
Anyone else prefer just one monitor and alt + tabs? O.o8 -
DevRant Stress Ball Rant.
Today, I was like its time to finally mail and get myself one of them stress balls.
Turns out it requires 300+... arrghhhhh. Damn it. When did this happen? Was it always 300+? I remember seeing 200+ before.. Damn...was I too late or was I mistaken? I guess it's going to increment even more since the community continues to grow.. *sigh* :(
Now I guess I would need a blood sacrifice or something to get anywhere near those numbers..5
