@Alice alright thanks. Think I mostly just feel weird about the concept of an American production happening in Denmark. Perhaps I’ll give it a try, when I run out of good series.

@Alice side thought: What’s your opinion about The Rain so far? Is it actually a good series?

@S-falken sounds exciting and terrifying. Hope everything turns out well. Sounds like an episode of Silicon Valley to me.

Or better yet:

window.addEventListener('error', function(e) {
window.location.href = `https://stackoverflow.com/search/...}`;
});

This would have saved me a ton of time when starting out programming.

doSomething2_new()

@Voxera that’s a valid point, and a fundamental truth in humanity I guess. It serves as a very good explanation of the word “Developer” too.

@arraysstartat1 exactly. Thanks for making me more confident.

If it’s broken, don’t fix it.

I just do it to avoid stupid mofo typos

@mpie plot twist. Cracked me up!

At least it’s not PHP. That would be beyond riski, and you probably wouldn’t be amongst us today, I bet.

I feel you man. I’m in the “last” stage of a fixed price, not-so-fixed scope project right now. Life is miserable.

I’m imagining a scenario where the production server was attacked or malfunctioning, and had to go offline real quick. The off switch in unreachable and he sees no other option: *grabs backup hedge shears*

I have no idea what either is. Am i missing out? Feel like I should know what that is.

This the developer(s) who the schema belonged to come running?

Is your root directory a git repository?

Get a job where you’re allowed to estimate tasks (preferably for a third party client). Consequently overshoot all estimates by 66%, and “work from home” 1-2 days a week. I’m sure no one will notice.

@polaroidkidd I guess it’s mostly because a log file often can reveal bugs and alike, that only occured in the backend - not visible to the frontend. It rends to also reveal lazy programmers, who don’t care about quality and warning signals.

Nowadays with all the data protection nonsense, it might also be useful to check for sensitive data stored in the log files. Although I would not guess that it was one of the reasons in this case.

I’m sure other people could add to this list. Any other ideas why checking log files after demoing would be beneficial?

@SukMikeHok enjoy your holiday mate, and happy coding!

That excitement when you’ve just written your first article, and just want the world to know about it.

Congratulations mate, and well written!

I read it as (semi-)pro grammer. Would have been cool to be a pro grammer though, whatever that is.

Don’t you have a small office space at home that you can go shouting in?

This really cracked me up. It’s kind of making a joke of all the estimate shit!

@rutee07 your profile is completely appropriate for you comment

I only have 15Gb of storage left on my 512Gb SSD. Maybe I could run it from /, and free up some disk space.

@bittersweet not sure if I’m just lazy, but I think a TLDR on your comments would be appropriate

@duckWit please let us know more! I’m on my way to university, and working on the initial phase of a startup. Been working as a developer without any education for a few years. I’m literally following your footsteps, just hoping it’ll end as well. Would love to hear more though, how are you doing now?

@virustark24 I have a 2018 almost fully specced Macbook Pro, and I am having the following issues:

When not plugged to ground, the metallic parts (aka the whole thing) becomes dangerously static when charging.

As you probably already know, there’s the sticking keys with the new “amazing” butterfly keys.

No dedicated graphics card, which causes the machine to get really hot when using multiple it with external displays.

All fairly basic issues, which should be expected solved in a $3000 machine.

@7Raiden that makes me curious about two things. Where you live and what you do.
