My dumbass removes a setter and then starts wondering why the API isn't accepting any query parameters anymore

When I have something useful to do

One of our juniors was adding a feature and made a small mistake in one of their (copy-pasted) unit tests by forgetting to cast a return value of a mock

So he spent a ton of time changing the main code to do type checks, try/catching and error handling.

Poor soul realized the mistake in code review one day later

I've never rejected a pull request, I just out in loads of comments with constructive criticism.

When shoukd you reject and when should you just sdd in comments?

We have a role/team/user system where we can add people to teams so they can see our code.

Every time I have to add people to something, 20-something emails arrive to inform the new users' managers and let the user know that a request has been made.

Never do I feel as anxious as when all these emails go out and everybody sees my name and I immediately feel like I fucked up

"Unexpected token: ..."

Thank you Azure, very cool. Would you like to tell me where, how and why?

I'm a strong believer in the triple-A unit-test pattern: Arrange, Act and Assert

Anyone else that uses this for their tests? Do you see any cons to using this approach to writing tests? Are you using an alternative?

Where did rutee go

Are there any others that watch TV shows while working/coding (while still being productive)? I just finished watching The Office on one of my monitors and have finished all my tasks before any deadlines

Lately programs have been crashing a lot on my pc, I've tried different things like disabling SWAP for a sec, BIOS changes, remove firefox and use Google Chrome, try different commands, it kept happening.

Obviously along the way I started investigating what was causing these crashes, looking through bug reports and my syslog. There was no consistency, except for 1 thing: SIGENV. Everything that crashed had a segmentation fault, now I'm not an expect and I don't know what this means or how to fix it, so I went to Google to ask for answers.

Then I downloaded memtest and ran a memory test, error palooza. Then I went to Windows and ran memory check, error palooza.

This is week 3 of this high-end gaming pc which was a huge investment AND IT HAS BEEN FUCKING WITH ME BECAUSE OF BAD MEMORY HOW THE FUCK DOES THIS HAPPEN I ALMOST STARTED TO DOUBT UBUNTU BUT IT WAS A FUCKING FAULT IN BRAND NEW MEMORY MODULES WHAT THE FUCK.

Obviously I'm pissed off. Today I'm gonna call the store that assembled it to voice my complaints.

Thank you for listening to my TedTalk.

Gotta teach them somehow

I've been to 4 kubernetes related tech talks and they've all been the fucking same. No depth, no new cool things, no little tricks or demonstrations, just the plain old boring shit I've seen a thousand times.

I've worked with it and love it for big projects, but going to conventions to hear someone talk about it is completely meaningless. Perhaps it's because I only learn by doing.

And before anyone says 'then don\'t go', I usually go with either friends or a colleagues and want to show my face, and have some drinks and snacks.

This was my techtalk.

If you had a project that you had to work on with 1 other person for a year, who on devRant would you partner up with? Regardless of stack.

I didn't WANT to do it, but he left me no choice. He was about to tell everyone the secret that I'd kept for such a long time. I couldn't allow him to do that.

I'm still debating whether it was me who pulled the trigger, I never wanted to, but I did, it changed me.

Now I've been living with his wife, his children, in his house, with his parents and family. I've been to countless reunions and everybody seems to enjoy having me around, claiming that I've 'changed' and become a better person.

My old self seems to have faded away into nothingness, I don't know if I should be happy with that. But I do know one thing,

If such a situation were to come up one more, I'd do it again.

All project teams suddenly lost access to our development environment.

Yay.

What a fuckton of issues those two characters brought me today while attempting to verify a signed file.

A week ago I raised an issue claiming I couldn't ping service x and that it was blocked

Today I figure out ping is blocked on firewall level and http requests work fine

Guess that's my big blunder this internship

It's been one of those days where I'm stuck on a bug and feel drained, tired, and I'm just watching youtube videos out of boredom. I hate thede days, especially since I have a demo tomorrow

Do you often have meetings with overseas colleagues? Do you notice cultural differences? Do you read up on what kind of business etiquette or anything similar they have there? Or do you just dive right into IT stuff?

Let's see if I have any new e-mails at outlook.office365.com

"You have been successfully logged out of all your accounts, have fun getting back in loser"

It's not always certain whether we do a morning standup, so usually someone asks "su?" in our Slack chat around 9:15

I'm _so_ tempted to send the flag of the Soviet Union every time someone asks that.

Jetbrains IDE's like phpstorm, rider and pycharm for serious code

Vscode for extremely small stuff

My website is now deployed on a Digitalocean droplet using Terraform to provision the infrastructure and Ansible to configure the server. It creates users, sets up SSH config and deploys the required containers I want all using an Azure pipeline and an Azure storage account to store the TF state.

Now I need a frontend... ._.

Sho Ha Ri

First, follow the tutorial and don't try to do anything fancy, finish it and have it in a working state

Second, start experimenting, can this be improved? How? Does it still work?

Last, transcend. Develop your own way of doing it.

If you don't go through these stages properly you might get stuck and frustrated and never get whatever you're working on in a working state, resulting in hating the technology.

If I get ++ and configure something, will other people see me as a duck or will I only see everyone else as a duck?

These are urgent questions

Where can I buy debug humans?

Is this duck thing gonna be available for ++ too?

'cause I'm loving it

Pipeline time!

Ubuntu: 100% tests, 367/367 tests succeed
MacOS: 93% tests, 330/367 tests succeed
Windows: 71%, 285/367 tests succeed

Time to boot up a windows vm...

Using Zoom to share my screen so my colleague can use his Skype Business to record the Zoom window so that the other people can see my screen and I can call in using my phone

All because Linux does not have skype business :p
