No google I don't want result about marketing, features of set Software.

I want fucking answers why the fuck our merge tool that comes with that stupid software does not work! And setting an alternative also does not work!

Just Answer my fucking question!
Setting up "tool" with "Source Control client" or alternative.

What did the blackbox said to the other blackbox?

.. I don't know

when recruiters would use the same tactics when dating:

Recruiter:
Hi, I see that you are currently in a relationship and even married for over a year now. And you are perfect relation material for a friend of mine. I'm reaching out because you would be a perfect fit. Can you give me your phone number so that we could meet?

> I have this problem.
> I go Ask someone else.
> Other: Oh just use this, something like "XYZ"
> Me: trying to find "XYZ"
> "XYZ" is not there...
> Found "XYZ" somewhere else.
> "XYZ" does not work..
> Ask someone else again.
> Other: Oh Just use "XYZ"
> Me: But it does not work....
> Other: Oh then you use "YZX"
> Me trying to use "YZX"
> it doesn't work.....

I love working doing tasks like moving boxes.
Move 10 boxes from point A to point B. Simple, you know what to do. and you know when you are finished.

I Hate tasks such as: Change this Icon to other icon. (C++) Because it takes me 3 fucking hours to find in code where the fuck this happens! And every time my first instinct when I don't know something is go to the internet and search for it. But in this case I CaN't!.

Wife: asking why I'm browsing the internet looking at memes.

Because I Don't Know where the fuck I need to be to finish my task! And I am stuck in this repeating loop of searching in code, looking at memes and being ashamed of myself that I did not this fucking simple task in like 10 minutes.

And after 3 hours of doing basically NOTHING. I don't dare to ask a colleague about everything.

Please send help....

I can't make this shit up

Rant.

Our dev tooling is not in order.
Names of classes do not represent what they do.
Filename is different from class name and there are multiple classes per file.

I try to fix this hot spaghettis mess and off course our outdated source control gives another barrier! FFS

========== Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 1 skipped ==========

Should I modify the file? or Copy the file?
it is already in use for a similar case but different.

double code vs doing one thing per class
a large refactor is needed for this one.

#codestruggles

Need to add a new derived class which inherit from class "lorum" that is in file "lorum.cpp". Other derived classes are inside the file "lorum.cpp"
Should I put the new derive class in file "lorum.cpp" or make a separate file for the new derived class?

Why do I need to ask this question...

IsIdentical(object l, object r {
if (l.m_Lorum == r.m_Lorum)
if (l.m_Lorum2 == r.m_Lorum2)
if (l.m_Lorum3 == r.m_Lorum3)
if (l.m_Lorum4 == r.m_Lorum4)
if (l.m_Lorum5 == r.m_Lorum5)
if (l.m_Lorum6 == r.m_Lorum6)
if (l.m_Lorum7 == r.m_Lorum7)
if (l.m_Lorum8 == r.m_Lorum8)
if (l.m_Lorum9 == r.m_Lorum9)
return true;
return false;
}

//FML..

Just do this:

return (l.m_Lorum1 == r.m_Lorum1 &&
l.m_Lorum2 == r.m_Lorum2 &&
l.m_Lorum3 == r.m_Lorum3 &&
l.m_Lorum4 == r.m_Lorum4 &&
l.m_Lorum5 == r.m_Lorum5 &&
l.m_Lorum6 == r.m_Lorum6 &&
l.m_Lorum7 == r.m_Lorum7 &&
l.m_Lorum8 == r.m_Lorum8 &&
l.m_Lorum9 == r.m_Lorum9);

today:
Committed my code for Code review
solved 23 Merged Conflicts
Fixed 65 Load project Error.
Fixed another 8 Compiler errors because of mistake made in Merge conflict.

I wanted to do coding today... I really do..

Out of stock.
F*CK! !@#$%^&*(

#storytime

Soon I'll start moving to a new place on the 16th and I wanted to change my address at the Internet provider (T).
go to provider website (T) reading that I need to call them...

CALL (T): .... Automatic answering machine.. ... longer than normal, covid19, 30 minutes later:

Operator: Hi moving, yes.. When? we send you an email with details to send Mechanic.

Next day: waking up. clicking mail on my phone in bed half sleepy. select 15th. next. next. next. accept. done.

Me happy :) .... One hour later realizing I said 15th.. and it should be 25... FUCK!!! Me Mad! Knowing what's going to happen...

Click link in mail to change date. You need to call (E).

CALL (E) : ... Automatic answering machine.. ... longer than normal, covid19, 1 hour later.... Give up..

CALL (E)(2): ... Automatic answering machine.. ... longer than normal, covid19, 1.2 hour later.... Give up..

Next day CALL (E)(3): ... Automatic answering machine.. ... longer than normal, covid19, 45 minutes later....

Operator: Hi, yes we can move to date 21. you need to call (R) to change fiber mechanic I'll patch you trough
CALL (T) : ... Automatic answering machine.. ... longer than normal, covid19, 30 minutes later....
Operator: You need to call (K) Here is the number 123456789..

CALL (K): ... Automatic answering machine.. ... longer than normal, covid19, 20 minutes later
Operator: This department (R) can not be reached by phone we will call you back.

Next day:
Incoming call from (K). Because you are moving to a new house you do not need (R). have a nice day.

Have a nice day to you too calm and friendly.
hopefully I won't be without internet for a couple of days...

Because of this spaghettis shit of code I was unable to make some progress. now I have to bullshit my progress in the standup. because telling I wrote 0 lines of code feels like I should be ashamed of myself. FUCK!

class XXX
{
public:
std::vector<std::wstring> m_Files; // Recently used files

why not just use:

class XXX
{
public:
std::vector<std::wstring> m_RecentlyUsedFiles;

FFS

Reading the comments in a piece of code:
{
//Step 1 save stuff in a list
code();
//Step 3 Update the controls
morecode();
//Step 4 Resize the UI
somecode();
}

//Me thinking: where the f*ck is Step 2?

Why is doing a minor change in UI always taking the most amount of time!!

CaN YoU MoVe ThIs 5 PiXeLs To ThE LeFT !@#$%^&!

NO I FUCKING CAN"T! BECAUSE OUR CLOSED SOURCED UI FRAMEWORK IS NOT ALLOWING IT!!!!!

Working now 8 months at a company. (C++)

Every feature becomes a refactor and a code clean
Every bug becomes a refactor and a code clean
Every Refactor becomes a code purge. :/

I'm doing this refactor in a project.

Got stuck on a decision that is not mine to make.
Colleague has a day off and could not respond.

I could not continue in either direction. Because the solutions I found are not improving the issue.

How to deal with such an issue?

A colleague is walking me trough some of the source code because we try to fix an issue.

colleague: Oh we don't use this anymore
Me: ...
LATER
colleague: This part we should refactor someday
Me: ...
LATER
colleague: Oh I think this is old code and does not exist anymore.
Me: .. .. ...

Great Colleague BTW :)
PS: fix will be posted Later.

Rant C++
Why do some people like to use ALL the language features. lets use "auto" en "std::tuple" and "std::tie" to hook everything together.. I cannot put something In a list because I now have to use std::move. SURE! If for every line of code I need to lookup what things were again or fixing compile errors it breaks my flow. "std::bind" this and Template that. half of the stuff you don't actually need.. it just complicates things..

Not all are bad. Only Unnecessary sometimes.

Rant!
Beginner tutorials are great.

Personal project UE4 (Unreal Engine Game Dev)
I'm having this bug where I dynamically draw every tick into a Uncanvas. (C++) First I call .ClearChildern and after I create UserWidgets by calling blueprint to fill text.

Text is Invisible when drawn in native tick
I works. If I don't do it in the NativeTick

Search Online: "UE4 UMG text dissappears"
Result: How to create a Button in UMG
Me: No I'm creating a complex UI system

Search Online: UE4 Issue with UMG Text disappears when drawn in native tick
Result: How to create textfield UMG with blueprints
Me: No I have a weird bug and trying to figure out why that is!

50 Searches later
have seen 50 tutorials on how to do the basics.

My problem with certain applications that there are so many tutorials out there that Sirius shit is hidden behind a cloud of beginners content.

story time

I'm a C++ programmer and they have given me CSS, Javascript, Java, PHP and C# vacancies.. because I'm a programmer and they think I can do the rest.. YES I can.. NO i don't want to

One day I was invited at the recruitment office. had a talk for like 30 minutes.. where after they said yeah we have a game dev company for you.. then they said which one... Yes that Is indeed in this city... their SALES division not their DEV devision!

One day I came to a recruitment office 30min travel time.. and in the conversation it was me who talked about 30 minutes that recruiters don't understand the difference between javascript and C++. .. they asked me If I knew MySql.. for a backend job..

How can recruiters be THIS stupid.
