Being a student this was how my colleagues felt about my code and SQL procedures. They didn’t even let me create a change ticket to present to CAB 😂

Why did Nintendo stop making the Wii U? It was time for a Switch!

Within 20 minutes of posting a question on stack overflow it was down voted - with no explanation. Fucking hate that site

watched first two episodes of mr. robot and it seems pretty good so far. does it go like other hacker shows/movies or does it stay good?

about 6 years ago I was working for a large consulting company on a government project. I put in a change for a stored procedure that hard coded the partition to 0, except 0 didn't exist on production, just on test. several thousand government employees couldn't access it for a day. 😞

Memory leak. Fuck off

So our HR have recently started to enforce arrival/departure time while also giving us a room for freedom (we can be at work from 7:30 till 9:00 and leave accordingly from 4:30-6:00)
So 2 weeks ago my manager asked me why on a date I didn't checkout/checkin, I looked out in my vacation log and sure enough it was a day off. I said to myself maybe be ause this day was requested last year they didn't remember it no problem
Anyway fast forward to today and my manager asked me why on the 25th of January I left (early) at 1?
What? I don't remember leaving early except for one day last week (Feb 7-personal reasons and was requested days before)
So i check my vacation log to see if I forgot something and i see that Jan 25 is a Saturday. We don't work on Saturdays! I go and check with my manager telling him that.
Then it hits me. I checked my taxi app and on Sat Jan 25 I had a ride at 1:22 AM!! from work to home. Yes i remembered that on that day I had to stay late for a project
WTF HR??!
Sorry for the long post

when you tell your boss 'we need to talk' and he looks genuinely worried 😀

swag link says you need 20 +1's for stickers and 175 +1's for ball from each post. clicking on Learn More it then says you need 15 +1's for stickers and 150 +1's for ball from each post.
How about some stickers for spotting a content issue?

Use the terminal inside ide or external?

had an interview at a place that went good at the technical part but I didn't do great at their 'abstract' questions. the guys interviewing were complete stone faced as well, no personality, pretty sure I wouldn't have liked working there anyways. a few years later and they are still looking for people. the recruiter rings up and I said I wouldn't want to re-interview unless the process had changed. he guaranteed me it had. so I went back in and it was exactly the same. exactly the same technical questions, followed by more abstract questions. different guys but same no-personalities. never going back

Devrant freezes when switching to different app then back again. A bit random though, has happened a couple of times but can't reproduce it.

At what point do you leave?
I totally get Amazon's principle of 'disagree and commit' but how many disagreements with your COO, CEO, does it take to make you say:
Fuck this, I'm out of here

jenkins tests passing but travis failing. now travis passing but jenkins failing, aargh!

more beer needed...

the cake is a lie

Just started a new job at a big co.
Expected to implement small new feature, no sweat about 30 LOC. Unfortunately no unit tests, no way to test without real data.

Spend 2 weeks trying to get it to run on the test rack. Lo and behold the entire testing system has been sitting broken for months and nobody knew. Why is all the documentation so vague!???

when github autocorrects my pull request message that contains the word splunk.
(or when devrant also decides to)

in the hospital with surgery and our deployment goes wrong, so glad I work with really good people!

Spent the day with people I work with developing an Alexa skill to kick off a Jenkins job. Fun!

Blockchain
Or at least I hope so

When commenting it would be nice to see the comment you are commenting against. Often they are long with several points and you can't refer back to it

Apple's certificate and provisioning profile shite can fuck right off

If you're always too busy doing the wrong things the wrong way, you will never have time time to do things right

this has probably been mentioned before but how about edit functionality on posts?

Crap Gemini

Anybody else get shouted at by partner when you put all heavy stuff at front of conveyer when shopping, or rearrange dishwasher so more things will fit, etc. I thought I was just being logical about these things...

PUT vs POST vs PATCH
And none of them fit!

I found myself tonight imagining what a conversation between Cheech and Chong about serverless would be.
Maybe the basis for a new talk?
Suggestions please

Conferences are lonely places

Suggestions for UK conferences please, already going to devoxx, anything devvy would be good, or architecture or web related

Test Driven Development, Pattern Driven Development, Domain Driven Development, Design Domain Driven Development.

When do we eventually get to the development part??

Opinions please. When end user is not paying for service, who is my customer? For example public facing government project

Feature request: please allow the app to work in landscape and rotate. I can't get to the hamburger menu in bottom right due to broken screen

Work has set us a challenge to build a rock/paper/scissors/dynamite/waterbomb api. We have the spec for what json is expected incoming and outgoing. We are allowed to implement any way we want and with any language we want. We are considering using Clojure but we have no experience with it, hence we will hopefully be learning as we go. Would you recommend using a framework like Pedestal, Hoplon, Luminus, or just use Leiningren or something else?

I wouldn't want the keyboard to record my thoughts, it's my filter.

I'm starting to look at how to get devices to send data to an endpoint for storage and analysis. I'm looking at AWS iot stuff like core and green grass but then I'm thinking that a REST API could also do the job. I don't need to connect devices to each other (in first iteration). Dont think I need any edge stuff either. Anybody have any experience with this?

Cheers for the stickers!

In client terms, a “3rd party” is akin to Angelina Jolie. Despite the promise that you’ll be able to have an enlightening conversation over a nice meal and hopefully hook up afterwards ... sorry, it ain’t happenin’. You’re just gonna have to fantasize about it while you take care of business yourself.

Been fighting with PDD (dysthymia) for about 7 years now, does any of you suffer from mental disorder (depression, anxiety, things like that) and has some advice to share?

calling a rest API and it returns a 400 when it's data is corrupt, wtf!

Product, not project!

Double guns (with clicking noise) at the screen when solving a tricky problem

Anybody else feel that the devrant face, when it's expanding/contracting, is laughing at you?

New to the the electronics stuff and I'm building a word clock. Recommendations for a microcontroller that has at least 22 outputs (22 words to light up). Something from Arduino? Also need to plug in for power and use an RTC.

What's a good inexpensive android phone for development. Something 14 year olds could use without breaking

Having no human contact for work since starting an internship over year ago and now through January now sucks, but what’s worse is the rug being pulled out from under me

The office isn’t even that nice it’s really just about talking to people
