Finally found time for myself.
And colorful liners. I found colorful liners too.

Learning a new technology:
1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance
6. Ohh, cool feature~

My first Linux was OpenSUSE, so I just struggled to not buy one of these

The way to resolve the issues

if (object != null)
{
WorldClock.clock.remove(object);
object.removeEventListeners(
SomeType);
object.dispose();
object = null;
}

Git starts merging changes to your private personal repository is scarier than seeing someone else in the mirror in the empty room

The long talk about the site's design and updating it according to the recent events...
Turned out the client wanted to add the snowflakes on the site.

I came to my sister's husband, programmer, and asked him for a book to learn how to program. He gave me a giant tome (probably to scare me out) and I read it page by page doing all the tasks. For me it was like a magic, I couldn't believe that I can write something in the notepad and then see computer do stuff because I told it to do so.

When the customer says that he knows how to write the code.
(BTW it's real)

Most favorite: Intellij IDEA
Least favorite: Intellij IDEA
I mean, once Maven and stuff are set it's perfect. But, damn, configuring it on a new computer...

I'm a bit slow, but I finally did it!

"Don't stop being curious about another technologies. Don't be overwhelmed by the new trends."

The pain when you switched to another IDE and can't find the color scheme that looks comfortable.

Wow, they're so cool. I love them, thank you so much!

Worst part of being a dev?
Dealing with managers.

"I won't need math to make games!"

My first 200. Precisely. 😆

When you need to be sure

Have you already met the code that you have no idea how to refactor?
In five years I met those twice and I'm still puzzled with one of them. (I don't mean just a spaghetti or too long code)

Programming anxiety is when one of the similar methods could be 1% better in performance and you're stunned by such a tough choice, which one to use/test first.

Twitter now allows to add up to 4 images and format count them in symbols count. I have no idea what to do with such a great power.

What an I doing with my life? What's the meaning of all the efforts? What if I'll make a perfect own project?..

Oh, great, IDE is finally booted on!

The best job denial letter I've ever seen was sent to my husband and said:
- We already have too many people named Eugen in our company.

I really truly want to run my own dev blog, but every time I write an article, I feel that it's too dumb and useless because I already know the thing I wrote. I know it's absurd, yet I can't fight my own anxiety about it.

I'm too tired after programming, I need to relax.
...
I'm too bored, need to program.

Multiple inheritance

Evening: I have no idea how to do it, 4 hours of programming are just wasted.

Morning: Oh, I changed couple lines in yesterday code and everything is perfect now.

at the game jam afterparty everyone where trying to speak with my husband, instead of me. I saw human version of blue screens when was asked to list my project team and I didn't mention him.
- A-a-and what did Rik do?
- Oh, he didn't participate, he's a journalist and my +1 here. 😅

since people sharing their rubber duck debuggers, this is mine

Artists asked to give them some code to draw it on robot-boss's screen animation. I gave them this:
if (humans.count > 0)
{
weapon.charge();
weapon.aim();
weapon.killAll(humans);
}
dominate(world);

tactics.recalculate();
ai.analyze();
