Oh wait I'm at work

*closes reddit*

*Repeats every 10 minutes*

It happens so often I wonder if anyone notices

God damnit, I have this too often. Something works in my mind no matter how often I run through it again and again but I've got no clue how to test it for real which brings me into a "mental deadlock" state aaaand then I lose all my programming motivation at once.

Having this right now, fucking annoying.

This shit happens too, often.😡😡😡

I think I do this face more often than I realize.. specially when non technical people start giving me suggestions.

DevRant is life now, find myself on here more often than not 😂

Often happens

Do people often misinterpret your sarcasm as being genuine maliciousness? This somewhat frequently happens to me.

The great thing about coding is, every problem can be solved with logic. And the simplest solution is often the best one.
Often when I don't know what to do, I just keep thinking about what I want to have and break down what I need for that and in the end I always come to a good solution. And it gets easier from time to time.

I've made my IRC client look like my Sublime Text, so whenever I'm chatting and any of my superiors look at my screen, it looks like I'm working hard :D

Though I often find IRC a good place to get help, it's often instant, and I often get the proper answer straight up, instead of going through lots of StackOverflow pages and other sites

“Good” code often times comes down to naming and organizing things well.

I’ll often open up my console and check if something is true and then check if the opposite is false. Thanks js

Not really a rant but a hear the word 'dump' quite often during the work day and am amazed at how few people giggle at that.

Have you ever felt like you don't want to fall asleep?

I do feel that quite often but I don't know why.

Life as a software developer is a bit similar to a nurse... they often both patch bleeding holes as a service ;-)

When a condition is true and false at the same time...

var_dump(0 == "x"); // true
var_dump(!0 == " x"); // true

WTF?!

I started using the === more often...

I probably should learn how to take vacations more often, not only when I feel mentally exhausted souch that I can't really do anything

I once was able to focus on tasks, and then I took this job. The boss has me switching priorities and tasks so often that it's often best to do nothing and wait. If I'm able to devote my time to something longer than a half hour, i consider it a win. I seriously think this job is giving me ADD. Anyone else encounter this? It's a pain in the ass.

Unpopular opinion:

I often hear that an advantage of PWAs is that porting them to desktop / mobile requires little or none effort. IMO desktop and mobile apps fundamentally differ in the way we use them, so that building 2 versions of an application often seems easier to me.

Never stop learning!!

I'd argue to say that committing often, even if the commits aren't always meaningful, has saved me numerous times from bad code gone awry.

How much time at work do you usually spend purely coding? How often/quick do you get bored/tired? I’m just curious what fellow developers feel like.
