When your code is a mess but still works

And that's why there are scientific programming languages:

"Hey, you are the Java guy, aren't you? My Java is broken!"

Me: *Takes a look at the code*

if ("4+4".equals("5+3")) {
System.out.println("Same result!");
} else {
System.out.println("Different result!");
}

Hahahaha........😂😂😂. Now that's how to do it.

First dev job: port Unix on Transputer, a (now defunct) bizarre processor with no stack, no registers and no compiler. That was fun! And that was in 1991 😎

Chrome Wars is a movie about excessive RAM consumption and love for a browser. #chrome #js #webdev

Finding internships as a college student is aggravating... I applied to 12 different companies in the last month and have only heard back from one and now I'm stressing out because it's getting very close to summer and I have no job. I have to pay for college and food and all that shit somehow but I can't exactly do anything about it besides apply to more companies and just sit and wait

Fell asleep on my first day in my very first project. When I woke up, I saw an email from our manager with the subject "No sleeping please.". No email body. 😂

The opposite job..

Was going through some C++ open source projects. Beginner level only. Found this.

When so called developers "fixes" things by setting 777 on directories...

Please do not call yourself a dev

I came to Spain escaping my home country and started looking for a job in ANYTHING. Had done some coding as a hobby but nothing serious, still I sent a CV to some starting positions online (also sent the same CV to pet shops, Starbucks, cloth stores...) And I got chosen to participate in a one week training course / trial at a big company.

At the same time I managed to get a spot on a free and amazing course for music production, my dream profession​. Yet I had to go for the one that actually had some work opportunities!

Got the job after the trial was done and immediately got sent to work with a 3 person team that was in charge of setting up a giant SharePoint site for the local mail office. It was kind of insane! For months I had no idea what I was doing and thought I was going to get fired any day.

5 years later, I still have no idea.

Maybe if we all emailed the Constitution to each other.....
The NSA will finally read it

Now I lay me down to rest,
I pray I pass tomorrow's test.
If I should die before I wake,
That's one less test I'll have to take.

Fun fact

Did you know that there is a UNIX command called "tac" which prints the contents of a file from bottom to top, unlike "cat" which prints them top to bottom.

I 😍 non-ascii characters, how about u?

"False Positive" and "False Negative" errors

Boyfriend and I decided to take on a simple Raspberry Pi project as an extra curricular thing to do before uni starts. He claims that I'm better at this sorta stuff than him, so I end up with the Pi for most of the week, but have immense trouble getting what we want to work.
I give up and pass it off to him to have a go when he's home. Few hours later he gets all the things I couldn't get done. I'm a mix of frustrated and relieved.
Unrelated, probably gonna wife that man

ERRORs are red,
INFOs are blue.
My logs look pretty,
But not as pretty as-
Wait, hold on. Why are there ERRORs in here?
Why is the homepage returning a 5- oh crap.
Can you just... Can you give me a minute?

So rapper didn't pay me for his site I just built... body {display:none} got me what being polite did not #finallycsscomestotherescue

Maintenance? Holy FUCK NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"yes, we are looking for frontend interns from your place of education!"

One week later:

"Sorry, but we would like someone with more real-life experience"

How do you expect me to get experience!?

I pitched this crazy sentiment analysis story and it got approved.
Which is great... only now, I have to start learning regular expressions to tokenize my data. Regular Expressions are the worst. 😒

Looked to my right and saw my colleague trying to solve an issue looking at Stackoverflow

Throwback to that one time i was working from home

Joys of TypeScript.

(Notice the letter case of the first character of the type name.)

I really hate it when we have to wear formal dress to office. I feel like a marketing executive. My code stares at me with suspicious looks.

Coworker's whiteboard today

"When I get home, I am definitely working on that personal project I've been wanting to do" *gets home* "...maybe tomorrow"
