Your dev duck jumped into the heated oven when it saw your code

I just had to explain my dad that he can scroll down on a website. fml.

I start to grasp why sprints are called the way they are. tomorrow is the last day of my first one and I'm fucking exhausted.

The boss I had at one of my internships was pretty cool and only managed when it was actually necessary. I will forever remember him for the following scene though: The colleague I shared an office room with had just gotten something incredibly complicated done and was staring out of the window for a moment to relax. Boss walks in. She, without looking up: "Not now.". Boss looks at me, grins, and walks out again without a word.

Fuck you, code coverage tests, for failing on two input fields in an array, while recognizing the other two in the same array. Fuck you, I fetched all of the fields.

probably around 12hrs, back in my Uni days when a project needed to be handed to someone else for completion in the morning. I slept about 2,5hrs after I finished and then went to lessons.

thanks, devTea!

so apparently, you can now Shazam banana's. why. the. actual. fuck.

Better late than never. Here's my outdoor setup in my favorite café

After hearing so many people saying "why didn't I know about this meetup?" I think it might be time to do something about that and make a platform for organizing and publishing the dates of meetups. only usernames and date and time of meeting will be visible on the site, anything else will be either accessible via a login only, or I'll set up mail notifications. This is a rough idea only, so: your thoughts?

It was awesome meeting up with these fellow DevRanters in Amsterdam! fltr: @linuxxx, @Codex404, @CoffeeNcode @yendenikhil, @kenogo, and kenogo's brother

On my way to Amsterdam to meet up with @kenogo, @Codex404, @yendenikhil and @linuxxx tonight! me and ducky are looking forward to it!

no dear customer. checking a new feature on live while I sent you a link to our test server won't work. Again: devs aren't magicians.
NB: I usually enjoyed working with that customer a lot, but their mind really had a day off today.

They're here! I never ever felt the urge to do an unboxing video, but today, I did :D (but since the videos from my phone sucks, have a picture instead)

Thanks Google Analytics for adding a super long and ugly query string when switching to a different domain within the same project. That's not breaking the logic of this legacy site at all. Effing hell Google, I expected you to have better devs than this.

Another client thinking we are volunteering clairvoyant devs. They don't say so in the mail exchange that their problem isn't fully resolved yet, and then call annoyedly that this absolutely can't wait until tomorrow. And they don't want a a service level agreement either that specifies we guarantee a certain response time. Yep, this is totally how things work.

From the maker of Notepad ++:
When I cannot reproduce bugs in my code, I suppose they have transformed into butterflies and then flew away.
- Can someone crochet this onto a pillow please?

may I introduce: our office companion for today

Why the flying fuck do spammers target an organization of goddamn gardeners? I mean, what's the damn purpose? there is no real monitary gain in bringing it down. Yet someone in Russia targets the page like there's no tomorrow. Is this pure destructivism?

anyone who can get Nintendo /PlayStation / XBox onboard to sponsor putting up consoles at every gate of an airport will have my eternal gratitude.

"by using this free WiFi you explicitly agree to us contacting you for marketing reasons".
1. That's not what "free" means.
2. Kindly intercourse thyself away from my general direction (go fuck off)

I love that feeling when you finally conquered a bug that has been itching your mind for days now. sooo satisfying to bring that fucker down 😎💪🤘

Work is a lot like an escape room. you're stuck in a place and have to solve riddles.

there. I just gave my 4 weeks notice. and it feels good.

I got redirected to this gem of the internet earlier today, thought I'd share: https://wh.am/

customer: we have a spam problem! [attached, a .docx containing screenshot of their inbox]
me: ok, send the mail headers please [step-by-step explanation on how to do that]
customer: the 3 ppl in CC will deal with it
2 of the 3 ppl reply that 3 will deal with the matter.
3 doesn't react.
I send a reminder.
3: I don't know what to do, please explain
me: -.-!!

guys, I need your swarm intelligence.
I have two job offers on the table,
one working with Symfony, the other with Laravel and Vue. I have some good basic to medium level of understanding of Symfony, but I'm new to Laravel. can anyone working with Laravel tell me how they like working with it? Any input greatly appreciated! :)

beers with @linuxxx again. good to catch up!

anti-rant incoming:
a big thanks to dfox and trogus for making this app, and ofc to the wonderfully whacky and awesome community here!
My job situation has been difficult lately, and this app helped me tremendously with coping.
So: thanks everyone!
// anti rant over, enjoy your day! ( or don't, who am I to tell you what to do) 🙃

I am braindead. we sat debugging a crappy old application (php 5.3, multisite, no version control) with 2 devs and an admin for way too fucking long, and in the end, we all figured out that we misinterpreted the documentation. Head->desk. If anyone asks about me, I will now depart for Nepal where I intend to live as a goat.
