I corrupted a raspberry pi, and while debugging the issue, plugged it in and placed it on my metal desk by mistake, which caused it to short circuit and stop working completely.1

*making payment online*
Website: Your bank wants to verify something. Redirecting to their page
Me: fair enough
Bank: we are increasing security by sending you a security code via text...
*bank redirects me before I can finish reading*
Website: payment successful
Tf kinda security is that???3 -
I don't even remember why the teacher asked us this as it was a first aid class, but it pops into my head every now and then.
Teacher: "What's the first three letters in any website address?"
Me:"htt?"
Everyone else: "www"12 -
58 of 64 tests failed
Me: "what the actual fuck."
*spends 10 mins looking through logs wondering why these valid tests were marked as failed*
Me: "Oh shit I just configured the test case wrong"1 -
Just spent 20 mins trying to figure out why new lines weren't printing and why random '0's were in the text.
Turns out I was replacing with +"\n" which JavaScript converts to a 0.
Fuck this9 -
They were updating 2 sets of the self checkouts at Tesco today.
They are now running Windows 10...6 -
I mashed my keyboard to test a search box and thought it was broken because a post with the same keyspam in it somehow already existed

I just realised that working 6 days a week still leaves me more freetime than going to college and working part time1

Not really screensharing but kinda
Was in secondary school, I found out the computers had a team viewer client on them. Decided to download the full version to my usb and connect to my friends computer. We drew a bunch of stuff on the screens and eventually the teacher noticed a popup for team viewer in the corner of the screen and we got in trouble.1 -
So in my experience, coding while I'm not sober actually helps out sometimes. I always end up documenting my code way more so that I can keep track of what I am doing, and the code I write is actually decent.
Ofcourse, I always re-test it once sober again2 -
M: Type "cd path/to/files" where path/to/files is the path of the files I just sent you to download and send me a screenshot
C: Done!
*sends screenshot of them typing "cd path/to/files" and an error message because the path doesnt exist*2 -
You know what would be cool for testing web pages?
A chrome window that would mirror my mouse movements, clicks and key presses into a firefox/opra/ie browser so I could test a bunch of browsers at once in the same way8 -
Why can I not find a way to keep a window on top in Windows? Am I being dumb? I feel like this used to be a thing you could do in task manager9

I had to do a project for my A-levels.
The task was to get a client and develop and application based on their requirements. Naturally I made my friends my clients so that I could make something I was interested in.
The teacher constantly changed my requirements during the start, because he liked everyones applications to be somewhat similar (Probably easier to mark), which demotivated me.
The timescale we were set around easter time was to have a demo by the end of summer which didn't need to work properly, and then a completed version after the Christmas holidays.
I wrote about 90% of the program over my 2 weeks off for Christmas, most of that while drunk, high, or both, and managed to complete it within them two weeks.
I went back to the code a couple months later, with no memory of writing it, to set up a demo to show my teacher and I was actually surprised at it. It was the first project of that type that I had worked on, and while there were a couple noticable bugs, it actually worked fairly well, and was really well documented. I was expecting a pile of buggy spaghetti.1
