I charmed the graphic designer and we "hung out" a lot at my place during lunch.
The graphic designer was the boss' daughter.5 -

If you invite me to a "lunch and learn" about company policies, and I have to bring my own lunch, well, that's just a meeting during my lunch, isn't it?15
-
Really want to get shit done today.
Lets browse Spotify for 3 hours to find good focus music.
Spend 2 hours designing a new IDE color theme and inspections which should really help me do code reviews faster
Oh, lunch time!
Maybe after lunch I should read some random clickbait blog posts on organizational paradigms.
...
And now I'm stranded on devRant. 😫13 -
Had lunch with my girlfriend today. After we had eaten I was just browsing Devrant and she (without looking at what I was doing) she said "Let's go, you can rant about coding somewhere else".7

Boss: "Why weren't you in the project meeting? You were supposed to present!"
Me: "I'm not on that project, Bob was before he quit."
Boss: "Yeah, but I assumed you'd take it over. We need you to be working on it."
Me: "What? I don't know anything about it, nothing."
Boss: "Yeah, but you guys went to lunch together, what else would you have talked about?"10 -
I met this girl on the way back from lunch, I stopped, requested her digits, when I asked "what's your address" and she replied "123.2.2.8". I fell in love instantly. I knew she was the one.11

Chinese co-workers visiting in our European office would just loudly fart in the office, no problem.
Then they'd be VERY embarrassed at someone using a toothpick after lunch.
Interesting cultural differences.4 -
This happened right before lunch.
Me: hey, what languages do you know?
Classmate: i know python that's pretty much it. What abou...
Random fella: ...-yOU cAn TalK SnekK?!?!?!4 -
student in an exam

Fuck you. Really.
For buying a pizza for lunch, bringing it to the office and eating it at your desk.
I was just sitting here eating my lunch, but hey. I guess I have to go get a pizza now. Dammit.8 -
- Hey it's lunch time!
- Yeah let me push these changes...
- No! You'll do it later.
- But, it will take 2 minutes!
- NO! WE'RE HAVING LUNCH NOW.
Windows crashes ._.3 -
What the fuck, it says on both my LinkedIn profile and on my CV that I'm a student but I can take on part time projects, and I also told a recruiter the same thing over phone (after he found me on LinkedIn).
Today I had lunch with said recruiter. Guess who had no clue I was a student?

Well one time, it was very awkaward.
My colleague went to lunch, and he was working on some website for international client.
So he left his mac unlocked, and as soon as I saw that I thought i would be cool to add click listener on body of page, and on click it opens up 100 tabs of porn. And I did that.
Before he returned from lunch, client called my boss, with wtf is happeneing with his site, and that it is constantly opening up porn.
What i didnt realize that before colleague went to lunch he contacted client to see some progress. And suprisingly I didnt know that his editor atom was automatically set up to upload website on save to dev server that client is currently looking.
We ofcourse told client it was the hackers :)
But boss wasnt that stupid.
Instant karma.4 -
Boss: Can I pick your brains about something for 5 mins?
Me: Sure
-Call started-
(2hr 49min later...)
Boss: So you're still on track to finish that project by lunch today?
...
-Call ends-3 -
Told the recruiter about 4 times before my lunch interview that I was a working student (I could only take part time jobs).
Just as we sat down and got our food he asked me where I currently worked, and I gently reminded him that I was still, in fact, a student.
He had this weir look on his face as I had tried to trick him into a free lunch, as all the positions he had was for full time jobs.
Still ate the lunch and had awkward small talk the entire time.6 -
I just had a 2 hours long company lunch followed by a 1 hour meeting with the whole team. And I still have a big problem to discuss with two colleagues. Too much social interaction for one day for me. Damn, how my head hurts.27
-
Someone went to HR complaining about never getting a lunch... We're told to work them out amongst ourselves and cover, but he's never once asked us to cover.
So now we HAVE to take lunch and we HAVE to make up that time by staying late or coming in early.
There are days when I'm on a roll and I don't WANT to stop to take lunch. It fucks with my rhythm and I end up breaking shit. We're all adults, why the fuck can't people act like it?8 -
I fucking hate this cute little hack my company thinks it's found where if they schedule a meeting at lunchtime in the lunchroom they think it counts as a lunch break9
-
12 - 1pm is lunch time. What the hell is it with this team and arranging meetings for this time, does nobody eat?

During scrum, we have a remote QA Engineer who literally includes what she and her child do during her lunch breaks.
"Yesterday during lunch, little Jimmy and I went clothes shopping during lunch and I got him some new shirts and they're 100% cotton"

Started new job with presentation at 10:00. Went for lunch at 11:00. Was given access to source code at 12:00. Decided to quit at 13:00.
No regrets. Code was so bad that I wanted to cry.7 -
So our team went out on a lunch today.
Now because we are mostly developers (talk less bullshit and code more) we were quite uncomfortable sitting next to each other without a laptop.
Yeah, it was pretty awkward.2 -
hmm let's see

I'm just realizing recruiters are willing to buy you lunch. New goal: eat for free every Friday until the new year...5

I closed the lid of my laptop and went for a lunch. When I came back the damn machine wouldn't start and I realised I didn't push anything to github today so wish me luck recovering data from the drive.
(At least lunch was good.)6 -
Went to a small place for lunch, they had a TV that I think was playing sports earlier, but at some point it switched to a YouTube Playlist and started playing a Javascript tutorial on geo-location haha

The spaghetti monster is online.
Literally changes on the last minute.

At work,
If I'm not coding, I can't wait for lunch or too leave.
If I am, time becomes irrelevant me
It's 4pm now... Just finished coding... Time to take a lunch break...
Anyone else do this?5 -
12:30pm - I can't code any more, what does this function even do?
12:45pm - What's a function?
12:59pm - I still don't know what a function is
01:00pm - *Eats Lunch*
01:05pm - My code makes perfect sense6 -
I always wonder why people complain about php being horrible, then I actually see the code they write.
It's like complaining "I can't believe I have to use such a horrible desk" when it's littered with empty coffee cups and yesterday's lunch.4 -
Had a dream that I was attacked by Apple fan boys while eating lunch because I had a dell laptop 😨1

Had a company BBQ lunch today then someone turned on some dumb movie and everyone is sitting around laughing at it. I'm like how soon can I leave and get back to coding without looking rude....1

I drank left over coffee last night... Couldn't fall asleep.

By the time Visual Studio's auto completion kicked in, I went to canteen, had lunch, talked with mom and relaxed for 10 minutes.

The difference between a junior and senior developer is that junior developers will schedule meetings at 1PM forcing everyone to come back from lunch early. Senior developers will move that shit to 2 o'clock.5

I left for lunch early to drive five miles away to an abandoned parking lot so that I could cry about an email I received... this week has been fantastic.10

That awkward moment when you stay late night in the office to catch up some delayed work and suddenly remember that story you heard during lunch about the ghost that appears in the office at night8

I know i'm late to week 119... but I just finished assembling my desk.
Pardon the taquito, it's lunch time and I missed breakfast.

My lunch consists of smashing food in my mouth and watching YouTube videos. Sad but Satisfying.

My work is LITERALLY cock blocking me.
My wife and I scheduled a lunch 'date' at 12:30. At 12:10, I foolishly thought "Eh I'll check in my changes, I'm 95% sure everything will be fine". Wouldn't you know it, after compiling for 7 minutes, the build server throws an error complaining about package compatibility, which locally is just a warning. Now I have to babysit the good damn build.
I seriously thought about bolting and just dealing with it after lunch, but I'm a good little developer.3 -
Never update prod stuff on a Friday afternoon.
After the team lunch.
With cheese fondue and white wine.1 -

First time spending my lunch break outside this year. Didn't realize how much I missed it. It really helps to breath some fresh air when you got a bad day in office. How do you guys normally spend you lunch break?

My job forces me to work 9-6 with a one hour lunch. Since I am forced to be full time wfh, I eat while working and take a nap during my "lunch".
I am much more productive.5 -

People will send an invite to have a meeting during my lunch break and expect me to attend…
No thanks, I may not have a life, but I got to eat.1 -
I hate my stupid non confident ass.
I was just negotiating for a pay for a project that I would work at after my day job, because I'm familiar with it and they really can't get a better person to finish it. And I get shy when talking to the boss and totally lowball it and now I'm working for peanuts.
Fuck. :(5 -
Best: Got into game modding and had tons of fun! Learned a lot about Unity engine and became very comfortable with C#.
Worst: Abandoned my social life as a result of my new obsession. Need to find the balance.1 -
I hate it when I pick a library that seems popular, has a ton of stars on GitHub, a ton of downloads, used seemingly everywhere, only to find out months later that it's SHIT. I found bugs that made me doubt anyone is actually using this fucking thing. Your GitHub stars mean nothing.
So now it's either rewriting the entire codebase to a different library, or fixing it. Serves me right for not checking the unresolved issues first.7 -
My Daily WFH Routine :

What's the point in having a relaxation/fun/chill zone/room in your company when you never have the time to use it except maybe on your lunch break? 🤔🤔3

At my first internship I always had to cleanup the lunch area (after the lunch of course) and they would leave everything... One guy even left the crusts of his bread and so I had to cleanup everything. But the same guy one time left the crusts of an crusty bread roll... I mean what, how? WHY?? Who would do something like this?

I have a power nap after lunch. No matter what. Waking up from a nap is like getting a new extra day for free. And this time whatever was bad before the nap just doesn't seem so bad anymore.7

Monitored at work via Skype for business because a colleague deems conversations around ordering food for lunch is 'Personal and inappropriate use'.

When i was in my first cs class and thought I had been in the computer lab for an <i>hour</i> and realized it had been 6 hours. (if I have to work 40+ hours a week, it should be something so fun that I get lost in it and it that feels like 7 hours a week).

Team Meeting with Senior senior manager(SSM) from headquarters.
Post lunch break (casual talks)
SSM: You all people in this office live in luxury. Each and every door has a security guard to open and close the door for all of you. HQ doesn't have these.
Me: So, does it mean that there are no doors or no security guards at the HQ?
Everyone in my team with a very big facepalm. Manager telling me not to get high after having the lunch.
Footnote: All my colleagues and my manager often tells me that I get high just by eating food.4 -

I've been reading devRant at work for the past 6 months and it kept me sane through a few moments. Thanks. :)
And now I finally started to feel that maybe even I could have some horror stories to share. (I've been in the company for more than 4 years)
(Sorry for long post.
TL;DR: break time laws suck in my country.)
One example would probably be how our company decided to cut 5 minutes from our lunch time (down to 25 minutes) and add 3 minutes to our 5 minute coffee break(*"gifted" by our CEO) in the afternoon.
You're probably asking yourself, "What happened to the remaining 2 minutes?".
*Well, it's simple. In my country it's somehow still legal to have only 30 minutes of break time for the whole day if working hours don't exceed 10 hours. It's actually written in the law that you CAN divide that lunch break time to be placed at different times. To me that sound like fucking nuts...
Thankfully nobody's taking that time change quite literally and most people still use the full 30 minutes. But some people here have been fired for much less, so I don't play around. I just pretend to work while reading devRant. 😎3 -
That feeling when your first classifier on a real life problem exceeds the 97% majority class classifier accuracy.
I'm doing something right! -
On a previous job, my coworkers were jealous because I started going out for lunch some days of the week instead of staying with them at the office kitchen. So every time I went out, I came back to find some kind of small prank, and also a sign reading "Lunch Break Maffia Attacks Again". Once they made garlands by glueing/taping together a lot of sauce packets (mayonnaise, ketchup, and so on) in different patterns and decorated my whole box with them.
-
A microwave can cook potatoes in ten minutes!? Why the fuck did nobody tell me?
A lot of workplaces only offer a microwave and no oven, and barley a kitchen to prepare stuff.
Hence, I was rarely bringing in my own food as I worked under the assumption that I had to prepare it at home and just heat it up at work. And potatoes take round about ~40 minutes the way I make them (20 min to cook, 20 min to steep).
Now, I will be using the shit out of those technical wonders and save a lot of money in the progress, as I used to go to restaurants almost daily for lunch time. Heck, I may even buy myself one for home use.
Oh, now I remember why!
This is what I get by being brought up by a somewhat esoteric mother.
"Microwave are no good, the taint the food."
No, they do not. It's science!4 -

So I locked my windows work computer before the lunch break, came back to Ubuntu's login screen... (I dual boot)
So windows just randomly restarted? Rip if I forgot to save something... -

I see a lot of people on this weekly rant telling they go lunch, read a book, play guitar...

Caffeine is crucial but I’m trying to moderate it! What good does it do if you have to drink 5 cups of coffee everyday to feel normal! I drink coffee like Hobbits eat! Breakfast coffee, second breakfast coffee, elevensies coffee, lunch coffee, onesies coffee...2

squished a particularly pesky bug before lunch now I feel like I should just leave on a high note and let Monday me handle the unexpected features I've undoubtedly created1

A dude who was constantly saying "jokes" he found funny, but no one else did. They were incredibly dumb and sometimes borderlin offensive.
That dude is tied with a girl in my internship who had some kind of superiority complex and no matter what the interns did, she did it better in her time and we were a waste of resources, according to her. Once, me and my friend got late 10 minutes after lunch time, she complained. Next day, she was late by more than 45 minutes after lunch. Fucking hypocrite.3 -
When you spend half the work day and skipping lunch to resolve dependencies and process packages for an API but realize you're using the wrong OS…

Now i think Microsoft just want to use the win 10 users as testers.
After getting anniversary update windows started showing application not responding message for the FUCKING WINDOWS itself .
like if The OS itself is not responding shouldn't it just show BSOD rather than freezing?
Combined with the fact that it is almost impossible to go into recovery mode without the shift+restart , it just wasted a WHOLE DAY .
And my laptop(lenovo Z50-70) has pretty common hardware.
I learned my lesson and deferred Updates But for Some versions of windows That's not even an option.6 -
Me: Yea, I'm having a good day. Sun's shining, Birds are singing. I'm really enjoying my lunch.

Took a SWAG at stand-up this morning, saying I thought I could resolve a circular dependency introduced in a junior's branch by noon. As the morning dragged on, I became less and less certain of it, but lo! and behold I managed to refactor my way out of hell with 2 minutes to spare!
This calls for lunch beer! Which management has no way of stopping me from doing on a regular day due to remote working, but at least today I've convinced myself I earned it.1 -

Trying to look busy.
I'm so done just telling my boss I'm bored and there's nothing to do. He gives me something meaningless to do because I'm salary so my 40 hours has to be full of something.
I really wouldn't mind doing 50 or 60 hour weeks if there was shit to do but there's just not. -
Here I am, a year after product launch, deleting features that delayed launch, introduced complexities, doubled the database load and made me miserable, because we figured out nobody has ever used them.1

Today during lunch in office, me with my colleagues were discussing a funny start up idea. Made lot of gags and finally dispersed, remarking "it was fun".

Today was a real monday... Untill the lunch break nothing worked even the slightest bit, there was a lot of swearing in the office, afterwards it got better but still wasn't very productive.
So, how was your day?7 -
I just created a new file in Android Studio called Auth.js and then wondered why I have a folder Auth with a file js.java inside.
Sometimes I forget what framework I'm in. -
at lunch today with @UncreativeError and we both made algorithms for acsl, due by the end of lunch. @UncreativeError chose the boring way of starting it a few days before it was due. “start at lunch, finish at lunch,” that’s my motto.1
-
Didn't realize until lunch that it was Friday today. Programming really makes you lose track of time.1
-
Deploy Updates in the production Server, when:
- it's Friday
- after lunch
- 2 hours before closing time
- the next 5 days are Holidays
-
That moment you take a crap after eating lunch and equate your digestive system as a circular buffer...2
-
I hate code imperfections. I have a cookie which is linked to a permanent user setting and I was looking to make it infinite, but I was disappointed to find out the best option is Cookie.setMaxAge(int seconds), so I put Integer.MAX_VALUE, and I'm not as disappointed anymore.

Turned in my two weeks... and im on lunch with the team and the boss.
Why did I do this, this is just awkward. 😥 -
What if your main telecom provider is down? Can you continue to work, code, take customer orders? Do you have a redundant strategy - and no it can't be going to lunch.8
-
tl;dr
that moment was a full semester

I was an Electrical Engineering major taking a Data Structures class and for the first time, I understood the title computer SCIENCE. In EE, you just blueprint all day long, but you never build anything. In CS you build and blueprint at the same time.1 -
Can't get on with work until plans are approved by boss.
Can't get approved by boss because he leaves every day at lunch.
N.B. I'm new1 -
Why do people go on lunch break while we are in the middle of hotfixing on a production site?....13
-
Just ripped the inside seam of one side of my trousers from knee to crotch.
Damn me and my muscular thighs, some one is going to have to go out and buy me some trousers at lunch time.3 -
You know you have odd priorities when your on your lunch break and you end up writing more of your book instead of eating...
-
When you have to work in a team that are all vegetarian and you want to hit the new Pho place for beef ramen at lunch!

When a customer limits the access to his platforms to two selected people and then gets pissed, that his issue can't be resolved right away when he calls at 12:10, because these guys dared to go for lunch...4
-
When during the holidays you're working from home and take a break to take part to a heavy Italian family lunch and drink so much that suddenly all bugs get solved by themselves... magic handmade wine! Cheers!3
-
when you're already at the verge of getting the right code when suddenly your teammate asks you what you want to eat for lunch...
-
IT team go out for lunch today. Don't want to spend money but going anyway for the longer lunch break.

Already finished all my work and waiting for the rest of the team to be ready for pub lunch, so killing time on devRant.1
-
Just got summoned to a meeting from lunch to end of the day, in the OTHER office, 2+ hours away. On friday. Video not an option. That sucks!2
-
Me: I'm gonna work on my personal project on my lunch hour!
*spends whole hour investigating one brand-new bug and fixing it*
Me: :/1 -
Whenever I bring my laptop to do personal work during lunch, I have to work through my hour. Whenever I don't, I have all the time in the world. :P
-
var peanutButter = “creamy”;
var jelly = “strawberry”;
var bread = “Wonder”;
public string Lunch(peanutButter, jelly, bread, out satiation)
{
int stomach = 0;
string mouth = “”;
for (int hunger = 100; hunger > stomach; hunger--)
{
mouth += String.Format(peanutButter + jelly + bread);
stomach++;
}
return var satiation = “YAAASSSS”;
};4 -
anyone else having a few hours of not being able to focus after lunch? Or is that just me?
It doesn't matter what I eat or what I do, after lunch I just can't focus on anything. Until 4-5 pm. then focus comes back again.
The only solution to this that I have is basically don't eat a full meal at lunch, but try to have healthy snacks instead.
I dunno.
Any ideas? it annoys the hell out of me.4 -
Is it normal for a big corporation to not give a tour to a new employee, say when is our lunch time, when do I leave and just load a 2k page book (vol1 of 2)? It's my 1st job and I'm a junior consultant...2
-
Just came back from lunch with 100+ new slacks notifications about the new iPhones I thought something serious was happening.2
-
Hello guys in new here
And to start, I share with you what my colleague say just after lunch (you will recognise yourself)
"So where was I in my work?
...
Oh yes! It didn't work"3 -
Finishing up a two week, four person, project in COBOL. Wondering if the same could be done in Java by one person before lunch on one day.1
-
So busy studying for my next exam that I forgot to eat lunch, 3 hours ago. I'm starving.
I fucking hate stress1 -
It's sad being single... 😢
(Leftovers from lunch at the Cheesecake Factory)
I probably ate way too much just to cut it down enough to take the rest out...

when you train a client to use a CMS and then, at lunch break, he explains that he'll quit his job and move in a quiet village in 2 weeks.1
-
So my school forces me to take a partner in my project. I build him skeletons, give him examples and wait to see what he'll do. He was supposed to do CRUD for text messages in SQL database. In the update and delete functions, he does this:
UPDATE Message SET (values) ...
WHERE username=@username
Yup ... -
The amount of dry runs we need to do for a "laid back" presentation is fucking insane. Every other day we waste 30 minutes to an hour going over the same information and to top it off it's during lunch time.
Lunch meetings should be discouraged in the office, and I should be able to leave a meeting if I'm getting no value from it.
Just really sick of wasting time on shit that does not matter. -
That moment when your intern blatantly ignored your directions, copy pasted code into the wrong section, then gets annoyed that you fixed it for him when he was at lunch (needed to make a deadline, he left for food and I stayed to finish it)2
-
*almost lunch time*
[client] hey there's another field we missed out
*almost time to clock out*
[client] hey the app became sentient and we need you to defeat the AI uprising ASAP.

Why does everyone want to work at Google? I know it's a great job and all, but the amount of blogs talking about how they got their internship at Google and how it was their life goal makes me suspicious.3
-
I hate when I just want to reference a camelCase variable or fileName.class in my .docx Word documentation and it actually bothers to try to correct me. Word is an application made by coders, I don't see why it can't figure out that I'm not wrong when I type ".toString()"2
-
I never thought that my usual lunch buddies/co-interns leaving would cause me to have a hard time coping up. I'm very unproductive these past three days. I feel so sad.
-
do you want to do lunch or do you want me to do lunch or lunch with you or do you want me to do lunch or lunch with you or lunch or do lunch or lunch with you or lunch or do lunch or lunch with you or lunch or do lunch or2

Project before lunch: Green and good to go.🏞🏞
Project during lunch: Holy fuck the world is collapsing what the fuck are these exceptions! Get back and fix this! 🌋🌋
Five minutes after lunch: It's fixed... Files were being named incorrectly.🏞🏞 -
Fucking AWS Elastic Beanstalk took a week of work to get fucking mounts set up. They invented their own version of docker compose that is missing half the features so I had to work my way from hacking their scripts to include options they don't support, to restarting the whole fucking docker service on every fucking deployment and now the shit finally works. How can most StackOverflow answers just say restart docker, this shit is not ok! I fucking hate sysadmin work. I want to code :(

Just sit down from lunch,
Great song on spotify,
Load up visual Studio,
In a happ place,
FUCKING FUCKTY IM comes in
"Got 10 mins"

Finally after spending an hour and my lunch break on getting rid of 120+ char lines and white spaces.. 😇✌🏻️

At my work we have this most generous benefit, free lunch and one hour lunch break. There's one little catch though, our lunch coupons only apply in one of two restaurants. Which one, depends on weekday. Mondays and Thursdays we go to this worthless place called Kvarter 5. Today our one-hour break was a complete waste of time as the food never arrived. GRRRR!!! I get grumpy when I'm hungry! :( I waited patiently for 50 minutes and then gave up, demanding my lunch coupon back, and had lunch at Sagulthai (thai buffet, tasty food, ready to grab with no need to wait). Some of my colleagues staid until the food eventually arrived. They told it wasn't worth the wait. The salmon was burnt and the chicken salad rather bland. Heck no, from now on I'll skip free lunch two days a week. There are so many better restaurants in town, like all of them2

Not a rant, but an argument between my colleagues and I over an erroneous form in a nutshell:
Them: -insert xyz deductions-
Me, an intellectual: The page is being redirected before the form processing finishes
Them: Buuuuullshit, how can that be?
Me: JavaScript.
15 minutes later, I emerged victorious. How? Because JavaScript. -
When the work network goes down during BF4 at lunch. That's the main reason why we have fibre broadband.

Question:
Were you hired by a company and develop software FOR that company?
Or...
Were you hired by one company and build software for a client or attend work at a client's office?4 -
Community Question:
I'm on a lone-project for work. That means I have to make a design plan and documentation. I have zero experience with this, anybody know a good example on the web of either of these? Much appreciated!2 -
The story of my last(current) job is fairly boring... Recruiter I worked with in the past called and said there was a group looking for my skill set and that I should have lunch with them. Went to lunch and one hour later we had negotiated my salary, bonuses and benefits. Been here ever since.

My wife is buying a small business. They have a website that I'm going to have to take over, and I have a feeling I'm going to want to redo it (it's not terrible looking, but I'm pretty sure it's WP, so just no thank you).
Was just wondering if anybody had any reccomendations for a cheap/free headless CMS?
Saw Ghost for $25/month but it has "user" limitations (as in, seemingly, limits to your site traffic). I'm just basically looking for cheap image/blog hosting queryable from a REST/GQL API. I'm considering just making a simple frontend for my wife to write markdown blogs up to S3 or something if there's no cheaper option.11 -
I was supposed to be searching for jobs online but just spent the last hour ranting about technical interviews...

Yesterday I spent hours searching for obscure references on where some function evaluates because my loop didn't work. After lunch I realized I used the same variable name twice, changed that, everything worked....2

I'm hungry, didn't have lunch today...
*Go into a small kiosk at the train station and sees $4 for a bagel*
I'm not hungry anymore... -
Actually there are some things:
- Knowing when to stop or switch off from work;
- Too many video calls and meetings;
- No lunch time with team mates;
And many more that I'm sure that I'm forgetting 😅 -
Blog about personal stuff. Like how my lunch tastes bad today or saw a cool gadget that I can't afford. Or journal my feelings that I didn't buy Bitcoin yet. 😭😭😭
-
I always work too much in bursts. Long days of intense work when I’m deep into something, skipping lunch and breaks. Then short days when I take it easy. Would probably be better to work more evenly.3

Crazy client,
Worst tech stack,
Best lunch for afternoon coding,
Best food for coding,
Best client story,
Great bosses,
Great coworkers. -
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 -
How do folks feel about IoC/DI?
I used Spring and Angular for the first few years of my career, so it seemed like it was a mandatory pattern of a framework and my team would never deploy an app that couldn't use it (even if it was just a Lamda or something, we found smaller DI libraries). Now I work in Express and React, and I look back and feel that those patterns required me to write more code, created more complexity, and wasn't any easier to read or understand, and was way more bug prone, and debugging the injection pipeline itself was effectively not possible.
I guess I'm wondering: what do people feel that it buys them?15 -
Just got asked to head a non profit project. I've decided I want everything in JS because I'm working with very inexperienced developers, so I want to know people's favorite Node.js MVC and Server, please and thank you!4

Has anyone ever worked with a NativeScript Angular project? If so, how do you feel that they compare to regular Angular2+ webapps or to Ionic2+ mobile apps from a code writing and ease perspective? I just started working with Ionic2+ and they blew me away with the ease of code and how quickly you can get things running and how well and native they do look and act, however the user experience can't compete with that of Xamarin or ReactNative apps. I've also worked with just Angular2+ as well for particular apps and I can't say it's a bad experience because frankly it's one of the best pure web tools I've ever worked with.
