Not rubber, not a duck, but it gets the job done

Phone keyboard just autocorrected gentle to Gentoo 😂

Code reviews: do it thoroughly or don't do it at all

Finally I'm able to do this! Even got a +1 from @dfox 😀

It was actually fun creating it 🙌

It's always great when developers have a sense of humour!

Entity Framework Core Mapping LOL

Daaaamn! For the longest time I thought that customizing your avatar would cost you ++!

Material design theme on IntelliJ looking sleek

No love for Nginx, I see

New smaller helper

The way we've been waiting for Slack's dark mode, it better be lit! 🔥

Code making weather

I bet whoever wrote this code into Scala REPL didn't know they'd make someone smile during the holidays

Happy holidays everyone!

One thing I appreciate about my team - if someone makes a mistake, the first reaction after fixing it is: How do we prevent it from happening again?

It has finally worked! That Balmer Peak might be an actual thing! I can now sleep peacefully

We bring you messages from the future...

Is Apple rounding up timestamps, or have they started using Scala Futures? 😂😂

You think it's counter-intuitive to start a post with !Rant, then rant? 🤔

How much trouble am I in?

Somebody just asked me: "so what's the plan for Monday?"
Me: What's Monday?
...After waiting for a reply for a while, I check the calendar... IT'S MY FREAKING BIRTHDAY!!!

Tip for next time: stop the bleeding first, then stitch

Just loaded the wrong AWS region. Mini heart attack 😂

😭😭😭😭😭😭

As a dev, knowing some basic sh** about your infra comes in handy, esp when it's Saturday afternoon and you realise your Thursday release f'd up some obscure integration

Cross time-zone design reviews are brutal! Feeling super exhausted, explaining shit I designed feels like torture! I mean, just get it!

When some random customer of one if our (bank) clients tweeted about receiving money to their mobile money account in less than a minute (while it was like an hour before we built an API for that shit). Knowing I was the dev that made that happen made my heart melt

Either a very tired dev or a really really critical bug fix whose details cannot be revealed

I'll choose the first

I have a mantra: don't get too attached to the shit you build

That mantra is about to be thoroughly tested - we might be just about to trash one year worth of work coz the 3rd party we were working with doesn't look like they'll be able handle our load

I had been struggling with writing some test cases for days - so I decided to delete all the test methods I'd written and start from scratch - took me less than 30 minutes!

I'm happy now

Just wrote a Scala test class using Sublime, felt like I moved faster than with IntelliJ... Maybe I should try vim next?

How does the PagerDuty team get alerted if their systems go down ?

Thank goodness for Dry Runs!

Forced ASP Identity Claim refreshes by abusing the login partial.

+'s finally synced up with Country Code 🇰🇪

When you look at a client's current database schema and you're like (whatIWasGoingToChargeYou * numberOfUnnormalizedTables)

I think at times when writing tests, you have to tell yourself: Enough for now, move on to the next feature

I changed my twitter password on web on the day they discovered the passwords in plaintext in their logs, and till today, I've not been logged out of the mobile client

You see, the thing about bugs... You never know when you're writing them.

I'll just read one chapter

- Biggest lie Harry Potter books fans tell themselves

Does anyone else have fortune set up to run every time you open a new terminal?
And people ask why I'm almost always smiling at my computer

How would you handle this:
You generate an id
You chech the db if it is not taken
If it is taken you generate a new one and check again.
You then save the new item with the generated id.

How do you ensure that between the time you checked and the time you added the item some other call did not try to also add an item with the same id.
Async mvc
C# and dotnet core with ef core

What do you think, does Google just have really good code structure that allows re-use at this level, or are they just coordinating release notes?

I started a project to practice and familiarize myself with SQL more and Entity Framework Core and prove how much I’ve learned from reading this book.

It was originally gonna be small program with a small database but over the course of me designing the database I thought of more features I could add. It’s been awhile since I’ve had a project and it feels good to have one.

Right now I’m only messing with SQLite but since the position I want to apply for asks for SQL Server I want to mess with that eventually.

First weekend in a while that I'm not on level 1/2 on call... Feeling relieved

I foresee a future where every new feature after the original product will require an opt-in

Being "out of the zone"

When you try lie to the compiler 😁

Lovers of music, you should check out Soulection (SoundCloud & Beats 1 Radio) for music you can code to & also chill out to

They're all just file changes

Me, thinking of removing clothes from the drying line: "you need to insert the clothes into the house"

I hate waiting on a preview of an SDK from Microsoft that should have the support for the feature in the first place. I should be able to query a view without needing a primary key. I am tired of making workarounds. Come on EF Core 2.1 preview! You’re killing me! Back to ADO.NET for now.

Gotta f'ing love Scala

Episode 2 of monument valley 2, just waiting on some shit to go down

Managing complexity. That's the job

JD: Manage complexity

How long is the "longest" EF core context you've seen ?

Without any additional methods.

Just DbSets and OnModelCreating.

Mine is 1338 code lines right now

A.I surgeon. They'll "get sick" at some point
I wonder what the equivalent of leaving tools in a patient's body would be 😈
