The moment an other team couldn't deliver for a deadline. CEO came to me, gave me 50 bucks told me to get a pizza and some hash and just work the night and deliver the damn app. So I did. Got a week holiday for free in return. One of the best guys I worked for.42

So, it's Easter holiday. Currently fixed:

Fixing another tv.
Holidays are great! 🤐🔫6 -
Took yesterday off to sort out a new passport.
Today on the stand:
Manager: "So we've been trying to get app X running on a dev environment for client X but we couldn't expose it to them"
Me: "Well yeah it's a dev environment if you want to give them one give them access to staging"
Manager: "Oh well we're still going to give them access to dev because they asked for it. It's due for 10am but we couldn't get it to run. You have to get it running since we edited the config files"
*accessing dev environment*
half of config files is missing, random files committed to the repo, SSL certs manually edited, eth0 down and found swan vpn installed.
never taking a day off again.

Finally finished all the current issues and tasks I had set out to accomplish before the holiday began.
Boss comes by - "you're doing some good work, do you have anything you're working on right now?"
"No, I actually just fin-"
"Good, I think now would be a good time for you to redesign our entire intranet."
"Haha. Yes."

Contrary to most people I really love to receive email related to jobs when I'm in holiday. I keep important alerts on.
It's like:
email: ***urgent, server down***
me (sipping mojito by the pool): fuck them. let's them deal with that
email: ***requirements all wrong, must develop the feature again***
me (enjoying a dinner): oh, I told them 100 times!, fuck all of them, work for me now, stupid moron.
email: I destroyed by mistake the db with an update..."
me (dancing like crazy): ahahaha I told you that support guys should not have access to production db, fuckfuck you, fix it yourself!!!
and so on..... I don't know, it just boost my pleasure during holiday.10 -

Dev: we have two days until go live. We got 20 bugs, 5 stories and two people on holiday.
PM: ok so could we get these 3 stories squeezed in as well?2 -
My government is FUCKING STUPIDLY JOKING. I can't confirm this but what i heard from friend of mine who works on that place. The server is turned off after work hours. And yes Holiday included. What the fuck? Are they even know the basics?
And yet today is not even a holiday. And i got this "Server Hangup" unhelpful Message.
This site is supposed to be the place to handle Online Taxation. And the deadline to report my company's earning is just tommorow, yet we can't do anything if the website IS NOT FUCKING ON!!!! I DON'T WANT TO PAY FINE CHARGES BECAUSE LATE REPORT SUBMISSION!!!! THIS IS GOVERNMENT FAULT NOT MINE!

Since my coworker is on holiday and our desks are next to each other, I took his spot for this week and connected my secondary monitor to his setup
Four screens this week :D

And HR looked upon the company and said "let there be no dress-code", all devs cheered in celebration and vowed to make the day a holiday5

So some dipshit keeps entering his email wrong on forms and putting mine on instead (never met this guy).
So far I've received holiday bookings, plane tickets and payslips. I've already called his mobile and told him what I've received emails for and what he should change.
Still nothing, maybe I should just rob him blind for being so thick...11 -
"We decided to use RxJava while you were on holiday, as it basically makes it impossible to write bad code."
You what now?!

FUCK FUCK FUCK
Started working on devRantron after a month holiday.
Major version upgrade to 4 different packages. All the upgrades are breaking the current configurations.
I just fucking wish JS community would understand the importance of backward compatibility.5 -
Girlfriend tells me she probably saved a life at work in hospital the other day (she's a physiotherapist).
She asked me how my day was.
Most of it was hunting a typo - for a holiday booking website.

it's not a happy new year when you realize:
You are becoming old
Another JavaScript frameworks is out and employers want 5 years experience in that.
You have to return to work from holiday in 2-3 days2 -

So my boss booked me a spot at a conference about "the future of online payments" and I received an email with auto created account (there was no sign up) with a clear text password.
I'm feeling pretty confident that I can trust them to guide and advise me on best practices when it comes to handling sensitive information.

Get. Me. Out. Of. Here.
Dinner already started one hour ago, they are still eating the Fucking Entrée ( Starter in english i guess ? )
They tell the same fucking story every fucking year. I don't even know if they got a brain, no one seems to remember the Fucking story exept me,and they are all pleased with this shitty uninteresting shit.
The youngest exept me is 47, i'm fucking 17. HEEEEEELP
And now ? Hoo, a fucking debate about how technology is stealing their fucking jobs where no one listen to me even if i could probably teach them some fucking stuff on that fucking subject.
Can't wait for the fucking "videos games make young brutal and dumb". Probably coming soon.
Anyway, hope you guys get more fun than me tonight and Happy Holidays yay14 -

It's a non-working holiday at the office so I'm at home doing nothing. I asked my boyfriend what to do for the whole day then he said "Spend your day to something you really enjoy".
Ah yes!
So I'm building a new project. What an exciting day!1 -
I go at holiday to Grandma because you haven't see here in a while and first half of day you came you are fixing PC.
It's supposed to be holiday. -
Previous Job I had finished a website for a client but the launch date was delayed (the logo was being redesigned) and when the client was ready to launch I was on holiday
Before I went I sent the files to my colleague and asked him to do the launch but spelt his email wrong
Never checked my emails on holiday so the client had to wait 2 weeks for his website to launch1 -

My boss has gone for a long vacation from last week and will be back in Feb. And office feels soooo awesome and fun. No office politics, no senseless meetings. Just pure work in peace.

Just deployed version 0.0.1 of my holiday project to production.
It's a pie "attached" to some speakers, mounted below the kitchen cubord. So far it only runs a spotify connect on it and you're able to play music there while cooking/cleaning.
I'd actually like it to also be able to just play regular music, either from a smartphone or a computer in the network. (It's connected by wifi to our lan). Any advice on what software I could install on it to achive that? i'd prefere to enable it for devices on the lan and have bluetouth dissabled, but I'm actually not sure if that is even possible. So yeah any advice to that? Or any other things you'd install on it?
I know, that I need to do some "cable management" back there :P

How do you deal with burnout?
I've been working 50-80 hour weeks for the last 10 years, without any real holiday.
I kinda feel I may be irredeemably burned out now.
I know it's not a healthy situation but i'm still looking out for a healthy solution, or at least a way to survive it.23 -

Effective working days are only 4 days left before everyone left for holiday,
Sprint zero has started though most of the people also has started their holiday leave,
Got a mandate to conduct a sharing session for some developers who was pressured by their manager to join, has never touched any javascript and has to be proficient in React Native within 3 days of workshop before year’s end,
To put it simply, everyone are already in holiday mood and unmotivated as fuck, how the fuck am I supposed to conduct a useful training while being pressured to set up everything for a project that is still unclear as whether we’re gonna go through with it or not,
Fucking “do first think later” mentality,

After 3 years finally taking an actual holiday... I don't have my computer with me, no access to work, no WiFi... Just my beautiful family, the beach and a beautiful resort to explore.6

Colleague calls the IT support because he forgot his Windows login after the holiday.
IT Support: "Please go to the intranet and write a ticket" - telephone call ended.6 -
So I went on holiday for 2 weeks. Was partying a lot, met my old friends and I wasn’t coding at all, instead I learnt how to play chess, so I can keep my brain busy.
Anyway, towards the end of my holiday, I started missing coding and I knew I was ready return to work.
Monday: so we got feedback from client of website you created 1 month ago and these are changes you need to make:
1. Support IE
2. Update texts
3. Make CTA button bigger
4. Change color of ...
...
So yeah this shit again.
I have seriously started thinking about completely abandoning my career in full stack web dev, and go back end only, because that’s actually the thing I enjoy and not the fucking frontend bullshit of “I don’t like color of my penis, can you change it?”.
I also feel like this kind of work is waste of my skills, stuff like that can be done by any inexperienced intern, so why the fuck me?8 -

Starting to get really pissed off with the hierarchy in my department that my manager keeps insisting ‘doesn’t exist’ but it clearly does when the other team manager is her best friend, to the point where they go on holiday together, go to each others family parties, etc.
Manager goes on holiday for two weeks and other TL gets on her high fucking horse lording over my team and uninviting me from meetings that she thinks I ‘don’t need to be in’ when the majority of the project is mine..
But my manager hasn’t appointed a deputy.....7 -
At my holiday job, I had to call the IT department about a printing issue. They solved it very quickly. Fucking magicians man, how they did it? No fucking clue!5

Manager : This week Monday was national holiday, hence to cover up the delay we will have to work on coming Saturday.
Me : What's the use of having national holiday then?
Manager : It's for recreational purpose.
Me, in my head, WTF!!!2 -
2 day national holiday and i thought to myself "aaaah finally i can make up for the deadlines which im behind on!"

I have an irrational fear that I'll be sacked when I come back from a holiday.
I came back from my holiday this morning and within seconds of sitting down I was asked to not login because "we needed a quick chat"... Great start to the week....
(Wasn't sacked btw)1 -
I commented my code so nicely today. I deserve to be treated for this with a pizza...extra cheese....and also a holiday at some beach house.

Now to wait for that phone bill 😂 oh well -

Don't deploy anything to production this week. So u don't endup debugging during the holiday and abandoning ur friends and family. ..
Happy holidays 🎉2 -
when your work place is 3hrs away from home and you forgot your laptop's charger..

So it's summer holiday now, and I'm working about 3 days a week doing some c++ qt stuff. Why does everyone I talk to tell me I should "take it easy" or "enjoy my freedom" instead of "working so hard". I'd be bored out of my mind if I didn't (no I do not have a social life, nor do I enjoy basking on a beach burning cancer into my skin in some foreign country). In short, I dislike the dutch mentality of throwing away your money each summer holiday to be bored in another country for a week and telling everyone who doesn't off.6

Great, just in the week when I’m on holiday, they decided to do a coffee mug contest on devRant, so I wasn’t able to show mine. Well, I think this one deserves it’s place amongst the other beauties. It’s completely impractical to drink from, but it can count as a statement ;)

First day back from holiday: after 30 minutes of work (excludes start-up, catch-up etc.) The P.O. (product owner) comes to me
Telling me I needed to switch project, ok I thought at least they switched the project from what ever it was to a propper OTAP street while I was away
Few tickets later the P.O. asked me if tickets x could be deployed to our test servers as well as production.. (note the ticket was already merged with our develop branch and he wanted only that single ticket x to be deployed)
WTF is the point of a OTAP street if you're going to deploy it to every server type at once?
So day one after my holiday I already needed to fight the P.O. again
At least I wasn't disturbed during my vacation... Witch is a first.8 -

Last update on my student job.
Today is my last day. Even thought it was tough sometimes it was a really good experience.
I worked with amazing people and had a little taste of IT limitation. Didn't had full admin access so I was limited on a lot of things I had to do but that taught me to say no to my supervisors when some things were not possible.
I'm very proud of the final result so do my superiors and colleagues. I'm really impressed by what I was capable of doing and that gives more self confidence. I know I made the right choice and I know I'll continue enjoy computer science as much as I do today.2 -

So I'm pretty accustomed to German "professional" websites. As a tourist, I was just looking up tourist stuff online and I stumbled across this gem
http://eisenbahn-spielzeug-museum.de/...
I was like, yeah, okay, maybe this is just a really unfortunate mistake, although I was clearly having in mind the "easy" navigation DB offers both on their app and their website
So continuing my tourist search, I found several sightseeing objectives on decent websites, took the info from there, planned my trip and when I reached the place I was told completely different info that didn't exist on their website, which mostly messed up my visit to those touristic sites
Maybe I should just go search for answers on some forums and print out people's advice9 -

Today I dont feel that good.
I have only 1 month of my holiday temporary job left. After that Im going to university, the place that i have been dreaming about, the place where finaly i would finish my projects, where i would meet people like me that could support, help me with my passions.
I have no idea where i got that wave of saddnes. Normaly i dont feel that way. Job is unconfortable and sometimes stressing a bit but it is not the end of the world.
I just want to stay in confy bed for the whole day but i cant, i need that money for uni.
I tried to code yesterday but i just couldnt focus! Always when i try to finish the project, no matter what it is i just lose my motivation, its just gone.
Sometimes I wonder if that university is going to be as good as i was imaginig it, after numerous rants on devrant about their uni im not so sure... That dosent help me with my mood.
Is my terrible mood caused by loneiness? bad diet? or lazyness?
I just dont know... I just want to feel better. I just want to survive that month somehow, without that crushing feeling and constant depression.3 -
The past two years since I've started working, I've never taken a holiday. Today, I was forced to go on paid leave for 3 weeks. Feels weird but kinda exciting at the same time :D

So me and colleague frontend developer we are working on project which needs to be finished in 3 weeks. It’s halfway done, and it would be finished easily if we continue working the same pace.
But colleague, today is his last day before he’s leaving on holiday for 3 weeks, and he leaves a lot of unfinished frontend stuff to me. I also have a lot of stuff left to do in backend. Our both bosses (whos are all management we got) are on holiday too. And I am also leaving on holiday in 2 weeks.
Now I got only 2 junior frontend developers left in office who are not familiar with this project. I would ask help from them, but I am afraid I will end up explaining stuff for them more than doing actual work.
Anyway, wish me luck, I hope I will manage to make it by the time I go on vacation.1 -

I know I shouldn't do this, but I'm so frickin bored I end up resuming tasks from work here at my parents' house, in my old bedroom.
Anyway, merry christmas and happy holidays! -
Dum di dum ... One more day of work, and then snowboarding all over dem pretty mountains... We came up with a theme, cokelympics, since it dumped loads and loads of snow...

Normal people spend their holiday weekend with friends and family. I spent it bisecting RetroArch to figure out exactly when a Wii U crash bug started happening.
(I exaggerate. There was plenty of friends and family time)2 -
My boss tried to make me work at holiday (there's no work till 5th of Jan). I laughed at the proposal more than I should, then he understood what I meant and didn't say anything 😄
-
Today is bank holiday in the UK. Fucking boss slacked me to say he needs graphql n mongodb wired up by tomorrow. I almost tell him to fuck off, today is not work, bitch1

On holiday with parents and gf...
Wifi here forces you to use their DNS (using Google's or Cloudflare or any other DNS is blocked)...
Can't use my OpenVPN either...
fuck...15 -
New Holiday idea: Bring your console to work day.
To show what your doing in the time you are not playing with them.
PS. Not sexist, your game PC can also come. -
Oh joy,
I got the short straw and get the privilege of building our new website.
I really don't know PHP very well, but apparently everyone else says they know it less.
Yea! Holiday weekend. NOT!!!! :(5 -
Just spent the last hour going through code and nHibernate relationship mappings only to realise that my repository's create method had an not exists check instead of an exists check preventing it from actually committing the data ........... i'm tired and need a holiday !
-
The company I'm contracted to have just realised they're a tad behind with product delivery after the Development Manager and his second in command left. Leaving two contractors and one junior member of staff to deal with the backlash of "wtf is going on with x product why is it not delivered?".
Company: "Ok we're going to need to do overtime, you guys will be willing to work overtime on weekend and nights, right?"
Me: "What's the rate?"
Company: "It's day rate is that going to be an issue?"
Me: *mutes phone to pmsl*
Company: "We're all up against it so we all have to help out"
Me: "Not interested in a day rate for overtime, thanks"
Company: "Your holiday you have booked in two weeks time, can it be moved?"
Me: *laughs* "No I won't be cancelling my holiday to work"
Company: *salty as fuck now* "Well the question needed to be asked"
Me: "I'm not cancelling a holiday I have paid for to make up for a lack of planning"
I come in the office today and Mr Company has fucked off on a three week holiday!1 -
After my Holiday i was totaly rested... But a week ago three collegues and myself started a side project... It is soo hard to get up these days!
Best and worst part of being a dev?
The side projects -
Narrator(me): currently on keeping up with the clientele
Client: sooo-- go live in 2 days lol?
Me: im still waitin for finalised content from you and your designers
Client: oh , can you work the public holiday tomorrow , in anticipation for perhaps the of chance we will have sent xyz content
Me: hm tomorrows a public holiday.. but sure
Them: oh im in another timezone so its really 2 days - 12 hours
Narrator(me): thats when the boy realised not to let his guard down -
Saved almost 50min traveling time due to public holiday so less traffic while working on public holiday. It's a loss-loss situation anyway.
Well fuck. -
Receiving a task from PM to be fulfilled two weeks before the deadline ends.
Days until deadlines end: 4 - thanks for stealing my holiday -
Checking emails while on holiday because, without you, you know someone is gonna make the executive decision to 'rm -rf *' the repo.
-
So it's a bank holiday today. Would be a shame if I crashed and you'd need to come in anyway...
- VPN Server1 -
I'm on holiday this week. I'm also doing everything in my power to resist checking Slack to see what's going on.
Must...switch...off...2 -
Finally nearly finished work today, time for a weeks holiday.
And even better I don't have to think about shitty old red hat 6.2 or Oracle 8i all week!2 -
Today is a public holiday ! What could be best than testing a new framework and see this shining November's sun only through the window ?
.. Ah yeah, I forgot my beer, she never leaves me alone. -
I know your code is great and that you learned about scrum a month ago. But I didn't know the scrum training had to say you don't assign yourself tasks, mark them as done and be surprised when other team members haven't done them, two minutes to five the day before a national holiday (yesterday).
-
I felt all energized during a long holiday around here sleeping wholeheartedly and in the last night of the holiday I stayed up late and now I'm here back to my usual routine with my usual sleepy self.
-
I want to use my holiday to learn a language or framework that is used alot in Enterprise/commercial environment and has good career prospects
Any suggestions?13 -
Does not get paid enough to have my holiday ruined on the first fucking day off, how about setting things up the same way as the ones that work so I don’t have to give up my evening an clear up your fucking mess, again!!
-
Dreading the end of this bank holiday weekend, tomorrow I must wake up and return to working with legacy code.
-
Come back from holiday to learn the startup I am working in is not founded anymore... Probably going to have to go through the pain of doing job interviews again...2
-
Hey, to all programmers here :) ...
What do you do when you don't have to code for a day :o...How will you spend this holiday ^_^?8 -
I handed in my notice last week, now I have to be held prisoner for 6 weeks in a company that hits all my Asperger triggers, and causes me daily panic attacks. But then... I get a big pay jump, remote working, more holiday.. and a much more fun project1
-
Anyone else got numb/tingling feeling in your index and pinky finger?
It was fine during my holiday, came back and this again just after 2 days behind the desk...15 -
So a friend of mine paid someone to develop a website for his business (holiday lets, property management and cleaning) and the developer has started up a competing business taking all the content from his site and other local info sites, holiday let sites ect and putting up them up on his site. Sounds like the guys a bit of a cunt to me giving us a bad name, thoughts?4

One more week till holiday...
Yesterday's demo went well...
Product owner compliments team for efforts...
This week is going somewhere 😄 -
Going to France for a week on Sunday. First time away without a computer, I do have my iPhone though. Should I read my emails or ignore them? Hope things don't turn to shit.4
-
Apparently the universe doesn't want me+so to take a holiday. My first proper holiday in about 5 years between uni/being skint was supposed to start tomorrow, nothing too fancy, a week in southern France. Ryanair cancelled our outbound flight yesterday, rebooked and changed accommodation to Sunday, they've just cancelled that too so now slightly frantically trying to find alternate transport.
Fuck. -
When it's holiday season and your teammates are on leave, so you have to open a pull request and approve it on your own.
-
Tomorrow my holiday will end, because our clients are waiting I'll have to start working this weekend. But it's not a rant my friends! I really missed it!1
-
Goverment just confirmed 2nd January as National holiday (work free day)...scheduled Nationwide production on 1st January, 2nd January for bug fixes (no holiday for me)
FML! -
That feeling when your clients are very well aware that you're away on holiday but they still try to contact you to work on some last minute edits on a project.3
-
So my room mate threw out €700 of spending money for our holiday later this month. Luckily I thought about it today and started looking for them. Was the last palace I could think of.3
-
Everything can be fixed, it just requires a methodical and calm approach.
That's what I keep repeating in my head, as I desperately try to fix my mums washing machine before she gets back from holiday.

Biggest coding distraction, when you're in your zone and your boss calls you in for a meeting just to tell you how amazing his holiday was.
-
That smug moment when you've just come back off holiday and reel off all the awesome shit you got up to during the scrum stand up meeting 😏
-
Ok, you've got some free time and a folder full of bookmarks to get through the subjects you need for that cert....
....but it has been busy these past few months. One day out of your holiday just to chill and do nothing, then you can get to work....
....you have 9 days. 2 out of the 9 is ok just to relax, it is a holiday after all....
....ok, your going back to work in 2 days and the most you've done is read some semi-related articles that were shared on Twitter. Sort it out....
....24 hours to go, you've essentially done nothing productive. I guess I'll go back to fitting it in at work or convincing myself I'll do it when I get home after a long day.
Anyone else struggle with this? Not just for certs in particular, but just learning in general. -
People of devrant!
Are there any of you living in London and willing to grab a beer or two?
I'll be visiting next week (from 1st to 8th) and thought we could have a little meetup.4 -
!rant It's the holidays, however, I still have fun doing work during my vacation. Especially at my leisure.
-
Y'all, holiday break has started and I'm not being productive. I think there's something genuinely wrong with me!
-
Great feeling when the pen testers couldn't find the "unfixable" vulnerability your new feature created, and you go on holiday soon.
-
Finally got some time on my holiday to do some side project work! Turns out it was a looong time since I started this computer.
So what I believed to be one lovely night of coding turned out to be one looong night of software updating...
I'm soon off to bed. Fingers crossed that I'll get some more time to do actual coding soon. -
I didn't thought my supervisors face palm'd me due to being absent on a regular holiday.
I just want to take a break and rest. Waking up at 4am and work for 9.5 hours is tiring AF -
If the clock is not complicated enough, with DST and timezones.... holidays and red days is even more complicated..... (a perl sub which returns all red days for sweden. It does not return any holidays thats always saturday or sunday)
Requires Date::Calc and Date::Easter
What a mess dates and times become..,

$yeartocheck = $_[0];

$hea = int($eastermonth)."-".int(int($easterday) - 2);
$heb = int($eastermonth)."-".int(int($easterday) + 1);
$holiday{$hea} = '1';
$holiday{$heb} = '1';

Really don't want to work tomorrow. I have this PM who just constantly over burdens me. I'm in a tiny team of me and one other dev. Need a holiday soon! (Been 2 years) Currently doing the dev on 4 sites at once on my own.3

The client asks for an online booking system for his holiday bungalow. I made a very good price for him but he wonders why it costs so much because I can just copy the calendar from an excel file and place it on the site, can't I?

Back from a 2 week holiday, inbox says 100+ messages
What is your back 2 work routine to get the current project status?1 -
Be me:
Said on Friday the API was looking unstable.
Get a text on Sunday afternoon that SHTF.
Guess what got made a priority on Tuesday? -
The holidays are the worst period: since I am the only dev, my boss get into the code, and I receive multiple messages - calls the explain "why this is so bad" and even "when you come back from vacation we need to talk about a lot of problems".
So, everything worked when I was there because of magic, it seems... -
When google just gives you dinosaurs' game, time to use mobile data!! !! Well wifi seems to be on holiday!!!

I took a holiday from working at a computer in the office to spend more time with my computer at home.
I wonder what I'd have done had computers not been invented. -
A particular Computer science lecturer sent me an email for a particular assignment result is posted on a notice board at uni. 2 weeks after exams/ into holiday period. Are u that fucking lazy! Just send me the god damn results. Far out

So... the guy from my last rant completely screwed up a site he'd been working on for our company (blaming the web hosters for their "shitty config" while it was just an error in his .htaccess).
He then proceeded to do it all from scratch (instead of using already existing stuff like he did before).
He asked me to help him out.
I put as conditions that we where going to do it "my" way, with the tools I am pushing at work (Docker, Git, CakePHP and Sass).
He rejected it (as always) saying: "I don't care if the site looks good or works good, I just want something out of the door ASAP".
So I declined because I just can't work with that mentality.
He asked an intern (of which he actually has no saying but w/e) whom barely understands the basics of HTML and CSS to help him out.
Intern agreed and they started working on it.
Two weeks in and the guy takes a nice two week holiday, leaving the intern all by himself :)
something something "I want it out of the door asap"... -
Check out this holiday rant/poem from a Front-end developer and colleague:

Back of two weeks holiday i have to readjust to being new in angular development again. The longer i work on this app the less overview i’m creating. I feel like throwing it all away and start over now.
