I just cleaned a project in the repo and got the build size down to 4.7Mb from 6.2Mb. The feeling of ecstasy!!7 -
Finding a memory leak is the very definition of the journey where you start with "I hate everything" and end up with "I am GOD"3

I have now worked on integrating Stripe, Razorpay and PayPal on our app.
While Stripe has an absolute gem of a documentation.
Reading PayPal's documentation has been one of the most torturous week of my dev life.3 -
Worst dev disaster
I was responsible for allowing users to purchase a six month premium plan in our app for free.
Only way we got to know about this was that a customer himself emailed us saying we are allowing users to get premium access for free.
Thankfully he emailed us within a day of the release and we didn't incur massive losses.5 -

School and college introduced me to programming.
Personal perseverance and an excellent group of friends made me better at it. -
I love to write vanilla JavaScript questions, hand them to full stack devs during and interview and watch them struggle trying to explain what it’s doing. 😈16

Do you think that "Work From Home" or "Remote Work" tends to reduce the work life boundary for the employees?
What I think is that Managers feel fine pinging employees at any time of the day. And as employees either you get good at ignoring messages or work outside the working hours.20 -
Not a question per se but an assignment -
Design an application that could find logs between two timestamps where the logs are stored in 10000 files, each with a file size of ~16GB.
For an entry level position this was a really good and interesting problem to solve.11 -

TIL you can create accordion design by simply using details and summary html tag and without any JS and CSS.
The discovery was awesome but felt stupid not knowing it and having wasted a couple of hours making it myself.3 -

Mid hackathon reviews.
It kills the excitement that a judge might have seeing the thing for the first time in the final review.
Instead the final review becomes - "Hey, what did you improve from the last time?"
**Its not a fucking sprint**1 -
Curiosity
I try to read about stuff that is related to what I am doing. Trying to learn about design patterns. The most recent example being learning about the Actor Model when I worked on Orleans Grains in a project at my company. That lead to learning about erlang and akka.
These things excite me. Makes me think about every problem I have ever solved. Drives me to think from a multitude of perspectives in the future.3 -
Discovered this really awesome telemetry tool called RRweb today.

Forget about committing often and end with multitudes of changes. Which then leads to writing a generalized commit message.4

I just spent two days bson serialising a dictionary of dictionaries for mongodb in c#.

Had someone report a bug that we did not provide an error page for someone using IE8 trying to use our site. My suggestion was to create a page that simply said:
"Hi we noticed you are using IE8, you should immediately turn off your computer because it's obvious that you are too out of touch with reality to be using the internet. Please come back when you pull your head out of your arse."
The product owner did not find my suggestion as funny as I did. -

I get too anxious when working on sth challenging. I want things to run smoothly in the first try. So I am scared to try things and end up wasting time.
