Not received my stress ball after 4 weeks, this is stressing me out.

Using Sudo to run a node script that interacts with GPIO pins on Ubuntu (Minnowboard). The permissions suck.

Just a quick poll here to anyone who does a lot of programming, which IDE do you use? Do you prefer almost paper coding with little or no extensions or features or a full blown solution such as Eclipse?

Just switched to MatLab, it's so good!

So close to getting a stress ball, it's making me stressed. The irony is unreal.

I was talking to some post doc researchers today about a complex logic problem and a fresher interrupted and said, I think you can do that with objects... (The logic problem didn't depend on how the solution is modelled)

Shoutout to Leap Motion for reducing their packaging size

Does anyone else have that project that they work on in there spare time? Well mine was a Pokemon MMO because I'm not a games developer and found it a really nice challenge/break from normal work. It's almost ready to be played but it's sad that it'll never be released. I mean I could recreate all of the sprites and game mechanics but that wasn't what I originally set out to do.

99 +1s but a stress ball ain't one

I'll just keep hoping for 175 +1s thank you very much...

If you put a UNIX shell to your ear, you can hear the C.

My friend was telling me some UDP jokes earlier, I only got half of them.

Nothing to rant about, it's been a good day 🙂

All I can think about since getting this app is how much better my life would be with a devRant stress ball on my desk. Until then, my friend this fake potato will do.

Purposely obfuscating your readable code because it's your PMs responsibility soon and he can feel your pain for a while.

PM: Could you make a deployment platform to only roll out to specific users, and make a script that changes the code so that you can tailor tasks to each user.
Me: Excuse me? ...

Oddly satisfying devRant +1s

Currently sat waiting to go into a 11am meeting where I will be told something is wrong even though I've completed a workload of 2 weeks in 3 days. If any PMs are on here, no appreciation sucks.

Here's hoping to eventually getting a devRant stress ball I can rubber duck to rather than a machine that tells you if a potato is a good potato or a bad potato

When you push and PM (whose understanding of git stretches to git.length == 3) pushes 20 minutes later overwriting all of your changes and refuses to acknowledge their mistake (s).

When i'm stuck on a problem for hours, as soon as someone asks me what the problem is the solution hits me like a brick wall mid explanation.

A day in the life of BoyBiscuit.

PM: Please zip up any local changes and push them to a temp folder on the repo and I will manually check to see what you have changed.
Me: *glaring at the download as zip button*

PM: Who broke the repo?
Me: *checks commit history*
Commit History: *last commit PM*

Me: Could you add the files to your commit before pushing because you've only pushed changes on tracked files.
PM: No not possible, I did 'commit -a'.
Me: ....

PM: Could you all delete your forks so that It isn't anywhere on the web
US: but it's private with only us as collaborators
PM: No because I can see it
Me: srysly?

PM: Could everyone try to write more effective code?
Me: Looks at his code
Code: Boolean b = getbooleanVal ? True : False;

Tl;Dr: PM doesn't know anything about git or working as a team.

See you tomorrow!
