Yep. That's an ASCII art tattoo...

Bitbucket, amirite?

Completionists unite.

Anyone have tips/tricks for encouraging teammates to comment on an RFC? It's work enough to write them, would be handy not to have to track people down for something more in depth than an "LGTM".

So I assume that, really, only one dev per workplace can be on this app... otherwise things might get awkward.

My FAVORITE bugs are those in someone ELSE's code that MY code depends on. Like an API that won't respond correctly when I FOLLOW THE DOCUMENTATION EXACTLY. 😐

Wrote a python script and debugged in about 3 hours. Script saves a colleague 20 hours per week. #resumeworthy

while not all(pokedex):
for k, v in pokedex.iteritems():
if v:
feelings = get_satisfaction()
else:
pokemon = find_em()
try:
new = catch_em(pokemon)
except PokemonEscaped:
continue
else:
pokedex[k] = new
feelings = get_satisfaction()

I was discussing scope and budget with a potential client for a side project. It involved a good bit of complex postgresql and subsequent aggregations and creation of reports. He was hiring because the last guy's work was so poorly documented, they couldn't verify its accuracy.

Me: "So, what are your thoughts on a budget?"
Him: "We were thinking something like $15/hour."
Me: "Um...ok. If I can ask, where did you get that number?"
Him: "That's what we paid the last guy."

When your ISP forces a refresh of your IP address in the middle of git push... 😕

What's everyone's preferred music player and/or playlist generator? I use Google Play Music now, and am fairly pleased. Any other recommendations?

Handy postgres script for those on teams with folks who maybe don't write the best queries...

`SELECT pg_terminate_backend(pid) FROM pg_catalog.pg_stat_activity WHERE query_start < now() - interval '3 minutes'`

Pew pew...

For you Jira users, as song:

Everything is due day before yesterdaaayyyy!!"

Pretty simple oversight in a SQL pull led someone to run about 3,300 background checks that had already been run. Somebody told me we spend $25 per check, which would have totaled around $84,000. It ended up being much less, but for a good 40 minutes I assumed I'd be looking for other work the next day.
