!rant - just for the lulz

Immediate thoughts on coming around from general anaesthetic yesterday were:
Why is Ruby not working?
Did I install a new version?
Should I run rbenv rehash?

Then I realised I was in the recovery room 😂

Worst part of being a dev?

For me it's putting myself into infinite loops wrestling with my own self doubt. Is this really how I want to solve this problem? Could this code be cleaner? Surely there's a better way to do this? Am I adding unnecessary complexity? Is this going to come back and bite me in x months? And so on...

In fact, most days I just feel like an imposter.

SQL Developer imports. Fucking SQL Developer imports!

"insert failed for rows 800-899"

y u no tell which row specifically and why, you goddamn hateful son of a bitch!?!?!

Playing with tree like structures today. Had to write a function where a node produces a new node containing data from both self and parent.

The moment when you realise you've just coded incest...

Contractor: I've finished those data receipt RAG reports for each of the feeds.

Me: OK, cool.

git fetch
gitk

Wonders why I have a new report class for each feed when they all do the same thing and the data is homogeneous.

Why you hate me so much contractor???

First rant, so here goes:
def initialize
@rant = 'when the contractor your boss brought in to help, whose weekly rate exceeds your monthly salary, doesn't know the difference between server side and client side technologies.'
