Life of Programmer

at school, after the graduation ceremony my mom asked me: "so what was it again that you studied for?"

*opening cmd*
"wow, are you Hacking?"
me: "yah, sure. See that lamp? I can hack that."
"really?"
me: "sure".
*lamp flickers"
me: "I did that" 😂

'So now you'll be able to program yourself a girlfriend?'

😭

When you know what you need, but don't know how to do it and can't get your thoughts into words well enough to ask on stackoverflow.

That rejuvenating feeling when you've been trying to get a piece of code working for days, google hasn't helped, and you're just about to call it another lost day, when a random "what happens if I do this" solves everything.

I'm going to dream about puppies, prancing through a meadow, and rootbeer floats tonight!

Worst documentation is the one so confusing and poorly written that even no documentation would have been better. And more than small projects, large corporations who don't give a fuck *ahem* Oracle *ahem* are guilty of this

My first try at 3D printing. Currently selling it on Shapeways, good thing they were celebrating and didn't have to pay for transportation. What do you think of my joke? :D

Today I spent 3 hours working on a bug. As usual, the issue was on the chair/keyboard interface...

public void start() {
new Thread(this).start();
}

QA in a nutshell

Large comment block at the top of the file, commenting explicit line numbers, as in: "line 365: copy to a new image".
Only everytime the comment block grew, the line numbers got more and more off. -_-

The other day, one of my cousin purchased a POS software for his bakery. He wanted me to look at it. Being curious, I did and found out that software was a decade old using MS Access as DB. He wanted couple of changes in the system and I did those in few mins.

Once I was done, he kept starring me like he never believed I could do that.

Moral: Your relatives never consider you a good programmer :-/

I admit doing this. Always.

Everybody here lied to me, there's no answer for everything in SO.

We are all Gods 😂

If at first you don't succeed, try `rm -rf node_modules && npm install`

so Jira loaded without css and made my avatar kng of the universe
