From the time i became manager, productivity of the team has increased, one of the reasons is : after a 3 or 4 hour of working, we play online video game for about half an hour, then we continue. This way really had an impact on our productivity.

Read an article that said "a successful DDoS attack [costs an organization] about $100,000 for every hour the attack lasts, according to security company Cloudflare"
And while I don't doubt the number, it still should read
"...$100,000 for every hour the attack lasts, according to company selling DDoS protection, Cloudflare"3 -
Got a busy day today so last night I went to bed an hour early to catch up on sleep... Woke up an hour earlier this morning.

Sigh. I went to bed an hour ago. And here I am, still on DR an hour later. I'm supposed to be sleeping.1

Before I get too fat, the "Hour of Code" concept it's great, trying to get kids interested in programming
That being said, why on earth do they use fucking drag and drop programming? I would argue Python is easier to learn and infinitely more useful, and this is coming from someone who can't stand Python.
So far the only thing that I can think that the Hour of Code achieves, with drag and drop programming, is people possibly getting into Scratch, and fuck Scratch.5 -
Allright, so FIRST I have to create an *ORDER* and only then create a *CART*.
Cuz why would anyone want it to make any sense..4 -
A few days ago, I went to a job interview where the recruiter (boss) expected me to fill a position that normally pays $30 an hour elsewhere for $10 an hour. As if that wasn't enough, he acted like he was being very generous with the $10 an hour because I'm a college kid. Smh.

First hour of work today, installing the creators update...
Fortunately I helped a coworker in this time.11 -
60 hour work week deserves down time....no code, just immersion...feel like I'm being watched though

spent half an hour debugging an if statement that won't return anything but false. Apparently, the condition was:
if (check === true). and the check var was a string! so yeah, spent half an hour to realise I was checking if 'true' is true..4 -
Question.
Would you work 100 hour weeks?
I just read that some developers of game company Rockstar had to work 100 hour weeks because of a deadline for Red Dead Redemption 2.
“We were working 100-hour weeks [several times in 2018],” lead writer Dan Houser explained.
So... would you accept or refuse?16 -
I moved away from friends and family to cut my commute from 1 hour 30 minutes to just 30 minutes. Shortly after moving I quit that job and got a new job an hour and 15 minted away. My friends and family are now an hour away. So I don't have much of a social life. Im not willing to move because my kids are in awesome schools now. That is more important than hanging out with friends. Right? Right?4

Woke up an hour early today.
I could get up and be at work early, so I can leave earlier to use the afternoon on this nice spring day.
Or I could go back to sleep because I'm still a little bit tired.
-> Scrolling through devRant an hour and a half. -
Took me an hour to figure out what was wrong, those quotes aren't part of the error message... :'(

Client asked for a zipped up copy of the files that I uploaded to their server via ftp, using login details they gave me...

Last week: Resigned from my current job as a front end dev, mostly due to incompetence in upper middle management.
Yesterday: knowledge transfer to backend dev who aspires to become full stack.
"
- So how does the designer deliver the CSS to the code ?
- He doesn't, he just sends the prototype, we make it work...
- The manager told me that the front end team did not touch CSS.
*fuzzy find ". styles"*
- So these are the 40 some files that appeared here magically.'

Today:
New git flow policy's in place. Pull requests are now outside the flow and are entirely optional.
This is gonna be the tits... -
Programmer like working at night (at least I like working at night). Would it be cool if there is a company which the work hour will start at midnight and end at early morning?
Customer facing side of the company can work the regular hour while developer will work at night.10 -
I just had a 3.5 hour interview last week. Chatted with the owner for an hour and we were laughing and joking around... Didn't get the job. Still don't jave a job.6

Banks. Fuck 'em. Worst pay of any industry
Wanted : 6± years native Android experience, senior developer
Pay: $45-48 / hour
I made $50/hour on 2013 and my rates have gone up linearly since.
This earns a big ass WTF from me for BBVA Compass bank3 -
Tried pomedoro technique copule of time found that this doesn't work for mE. The only things worked is

According to many of the rant posts, I am not a programmer.
I wake up 8 in the morning, eat breakfast at home and then get to the office at 9. Work till noon and then enough 1 hour lunch, back from lunch work till like 6-7 pm, have dinner at office then head to the gym workout for an hour to an hour and half and then head home, shower and sleep at 11:59 pm.7 -
Me: *Working peacefully*

Migration in progress (long one, lasting over a month)
PM: Let's schedule a meeting to discuss migration progress
PM: Let's schedule a meeting to agree on what should we test
PM: Let's schedule a meeting to get specs of the new infra
Seriously, PMs. One 1 hour long meeting costs at least 4 hours of productive time (1 hour for travel, 1 hour for the meeting, 1+ hour for preparing for the meeting, 1+ hour for post-meeting discussions). And more often than not all meetings end with "We will come back to you later in regards to <some question not answered during meeting>" and it always means "we'll continue this chat via emails"
Why can't you first ask "do we need a meeting or can we sort this out via email?" ??? Or are you intentionally wasting everyone's time?4 -
I was 1 hour into an 8 hour data warehouse build on my VM, when Windows popped up with a dialogue informing me that it would initiate Shut Down in 10 minutes. No button to Cancel or Delay, just “Okay”.
To Microsoft, I offer a hardy Dickensian “GOOD AFTERNOON, SIR!”4 -
Ey! Who of you uses that damn timer library (dunno the name) in your apps where you set on left side the hour and on right side the minutes.
AND AFTER YOU OVERSCROLLED THE 00-MINUTE AGAIN YOU HAVE TO TURN THE HOUR BACK!!!!
I hate you :D2 -
Why can't meeting organizer enforce time schedule, especially ending?
It's pretty much normal to stay 1,5 hour on 1 hour meeting.1 -
Tuesday: 10 hour day. Wednesday: 12 hour day. Today: 14 hour day. I refuse to let tomorrow go beyond 8 or someone is getting yelled at. So tied.1

Windows... Why is your auto time setting so dog shit!
Its always either an hour early or late except earlier today it was apparently December 9th at 6AM when it was 10AM on the 5th...
Like it even got the correct timezone yet still can't get a simple concept like time correct... Fucking hell...
(The time is one hour ahead in this image and this legit made me arrive to pick someone up an hour early)

By now I'm about a month into my first job, and I've gotta say: working full-time kinda sucks. Even if I'm enjoying what I'm developing, 8 hours is still way too long to try to focus on one project. I could get more done in a productive 4 to 5 hour stretch than I've been getting done in the whole 8 I'm here. I guess that's part of the allure of freelancing though.5

CSV wouldn't import to database despite researching problem for the past hour. Fuck it I'm getting drunk9

Shouting to my chromecast for more than a week because it kept crashing.
Factory reset -> total 1h re-configuring, works perfectly again. One hour was all that was needed.
I know the list with alternatives comes now, but I really see this as the perfect device. Does exactly what I want.
Damn, this experience made me violent as F.1 -
WHAT DAFAQ MICROSOFT! Soo many BSODs after win 10 upgrade..*sigh* ....sometimes ruins hour s of work.. :(5

There is an electricians shop just outside my apartment. Their favorite thing to do is yell conversations across the parking lot in the hour after dawn.
They finally shut up an hour before I need to go into work, when it's too late to fall back asleep. Ugh.4 -
hackathons are just 24 hour contracts where you test some company’s api in exchange for free redbull5

Windows update process takes half an hour. Restart pc.
A message: "updates have been installed" ...
Ffs You think I didn't notice? And why is there no more information? What exactly did you need this half hour of updating for? At least give me a changelog, or the biggest changes.2 -
PM: Page load times are up. It might be your API blocking requests.
Me: Possible, though most of my load testing was performed against a random sample of requests at nearly 5 times the expected average per minute rate. I can add some logs but I think this is a red herring theory.
PM: Yes add logs, and New Relic and get it released ASAP.
Me: To confirm, you want me to make a bunch of diagnostic changes to a mission-critical API the day before Holiday break...
I felt like that guy from the Apollo 13 team warning Gene Kranz that the LEM was not built for this and I can make no guarantees... Released an hour before we went home for the weekend. -
We were contracted into this big corporate company about 12km down the highway from us in the most congested part of the city.
We had a 1 hour meeting scheduled for the Wednesday that we had to drive in for, on the day before that we had to drive in for a 1 hour planning meeting for the next days meeting.
We had a 1 hour meeting to plan a 1 hour meeting...1 -
Just got this popup again, and it always comes right in the middle of me doing something. And of course there's no "remind me in an hour" - if you select "Try in an hour" it usually just automatically installs and restarts your computer in an hour, instead of asking you again.

Refactoring/cleaning old code.. Found this gem:
$hour = substr($obj->hour, 0, - 3);
Turns out, hour was saved in the database as a TIME field(DATE was saved in another column) , and the previous genius dev was trying to output time in a H:i format...
No wonder php has such a bad reputation...2 -
In my previous rant:
Last week I resigned, in the meantime they've completely reworked the git flow process and made PR's optional, among other stuff.
Today: "Architects" ask that we stop creating tags. We're replacing release tags with release branches.
I feel dirty only for imagining having to do a "git checkout -b "v1.2.3".
Good times :)4 -
opening (and closing) 400 tabs/hour with Google Chrome means Chrome will now memflood all my 32GB of RAM in less than an hour now! ... someone call Guinness World Records3

It took me an entire hour to figure out why my https gave me a Connection Refused error in my browser. Apparently I had configured port 433 to be published instead of 443, another hour wasted.

Manager: Hi
Manager: Do you know anything about this? <screenshot.jpg>
Me: Hi
Manager: Oh, I didn't mean to disturb you this late
Me: *what....? Then what DID you mean by writing to me at my bedtime....?*
(Though it's good he pinged me - it was a valid and time-sensitive concern. But saying "I didn't mean to" - that's just not true. Call a spade a spade and spit out what you need)10 -
Thank python. Thank you , you just waste a hour of my life. The function is silently fail and spend a hour trying of to debug it.After a hour you know what a problem is? The parameter type.
The function expect a string but I am putting non-string type in the parameter and it just silently fail with no exception thrown. Great!12 -
*when forced work from home started*

So I was reading a rant by PatrickCurl and he said he lowered his rates to $40/hour. Was just curious how much you guys are getting paid per hour? To me $40 is alot actually but it depends where you live and what are your expertise. Anyways, just for a rough idea, can you guys tell me your $/hour rate, experience and your country maybe..??15

This and devRant helping me wind down after a 10 hour day.

Visual Studio Freaking 2017 and still no freaking XAML intellisense for freaking Xamarin.
Freaking spent more than one hour searching for a freaking fix in vain. Might as well have used that freaking hour and learn the whole freaking Xamarin.Forms XAML vocabulary. This shit sucks.

I've started to program for at least an hour a day minus weekends but I still will program on weekends just I usually take that time to relax and play games or watch stuff but I started so I can practice and learn, it does and doesnt feel like I'm doing a lot cause I'm doing small JS projects (like a quiz which was more in depth than I thought tbh) to build up to bigger ones. I just feel I need to get a better understanding on why i need to do things and when and just somehow learn better from my exercises and examples, which I can see going through making another quiz its helping my understanding a little. Idk I'm just throwing my thoughts down, lemme know what yall think

Soft phones are better than webphones because soft phones use SIP...an hour long discussion ensues. Sigh.9

So when you are fixing bugs you are like exorcist:
you: "tell me by some sign your name!"
bug: (demonic voice babbling)
you: "and the day and hour of your departure!"
you: "The hour of your departure!"
you: "The hour of your departure. CANNOTGETPROPERTYNAMEOFUNDEFINED!" -

When you have 5 hours on a task, struggle for the first hour procrastinating , second hour trying to look into the problem ,then convincing yourself you cannot work until this mess of a file is sorted out, spends another hour restructuring the whole file , adding comments and moving related logic together.
Great 2 hours to do a 5 hour job -
On build "Access to the path 'bin..' is denied". Close and reopen Visual Studio. Fixed. Repeat every hour.4

3. After that I take a decent break (e.g. an hour) because my productivity and efficiency reduce, and I'm not paid by the hour so a sustainable, high quality output that fits in with my life is the objective.3

Our QA builds went from half and hour, to an hour and a half and my stress levels are at an all time high trying to get this hotfix out.

#serious inputs needed
I need help identifying that one big problem that all devs face. Irrespective of the language, domain, etc.. And I wanna solve it. I need your inputs on what bothers you the most, and what tech you work with.. Then we can upvote the comments that are applicable to all of us.. I'll setup a github once we come to a conclusion2 -
Working. Finding a bug. Quick-fix. New bug. New bug. New bug. Spending 1 hour looking for Quick easy solution. Getting distracted with a more complicated solution. Spending 1 hour researching. Back to problem, one more hour bruteforcing the problem. Finding it was just about a configuration problem. Fix in 5 minutes. Repeat everyday.1

Scrum standups and standdowns at my university be like: "oh let's discuss everything that comes to our mind and talk about it for an hour" - Professors 2016
(Only ranted this because I had to take a huge dump and had to hold it for a hour ;_;) -
I always forget it's a bad idea to run queries in an "edit table" view in SSMS. Just blew up my table cause it decided to add an unwanted cross join in my update statement.
Ran it in a fresh query window and it worked fine. -
syncStatus = "PENDING";
if(!carrierId || !responseData || syncStatus) return;
THIS line f*ked me up for about an hour.6 -

Hour 6: "Alright, that'll do. ...Wait, that's almost identical to what I started with!" 😕 -
How do you get fellow teammates to participate in Lunch and Learns?
Anyone have good tips or tactics in how to engage your team to want to present or talk about topics they care about?
How can they do this without it feeling like it's Extra work on top of all the jira fires they fight?
Besides bribe them with food ... That's a given. 😉😉3 -
