When you get work assigned to you. Are you asked for how long it will take you to complete the work or does your manager give you a deadline to complete the work? Note: Manager was a senior developer but now a manager so he states he knows how long it might take and sets deadlines.

My current situation:

Manager: How is Project A coming? Project A is top priority. I would like to see a PR today with fixes to the current tickets.

Me: Project A is priority! Sure!

*after 2hours*

Manager: How is project B coming along? I did not see any PR’s coming in?

Me: I am working on project A as it is priority.

*after 1 hour*

Manager: How is project C coming? There is one ticket pending. We need a fix for it today asap!

Me: Starts project C as project A would take more time. Starts Work on project C.

*after 1 hour*

Boss: How is project A coming? Where is the PR?

Me: As you said you need a fix for project C today, i started working on project C as it has only 1 ticket to be fixed.

Boss: I told you project A is priority, why are you working on project C?

Me: *doesn’t reply*

*after 1 hour*

Boss: There is a ticket pending in project D. Did you make a fix for it?

*This is my usual day at work.

*I am the only developer in my current company. It’s not a software development company.

*Note: I do complete all the work and create PR’s for all “pending” work at the end of the day for all projects and leave for home at around 10pm :)

What do you think? Lol

Just want to give a kudos to the dev’s who built this app - devRant. This app never fails to lighten me up after a stressful day at work. The best thing about this app which I like the most is the load time for the app. It has an amazing load time when you start the app. Period. Will soon become a supporter. Good job guys! P.S. check the tags on this post :)

Upvote if you can relate😂

I get bored at work if i am working on a project which is too easy for me. I always look for projects where my skills are challenged or need skills which I don’t possess. I get very interested in a project which involves tech I am totally unaware of and have a long deadline. Is it just me? Tell me your thoughts.

I knew AngularJS, just learnt Angular. Realized what typescript is and how amazing it is. I am a .Net guy so creating lambda functions in typescript made me excited lol. It's a little frustrating to write "imports" in every TS file though. Can now add ✔️Angular and ✔️typescript to my resume 😉. Starting with Vue.JS as soon as I am done playing with Angular.

Should you be able to choose which desk you can sit on in your workplace? There are plenty of empty desks and some of them have a good view of the outside. My manager says i don't get to choose and that I should sit with the technology team. Am I just being stupid?

So while reviewing a pull request a see that a co-worker named a variable "em" which stands for employee manager. So I asked him to rename it from "em" to "employeeManager" but he replies - Thats how all variables referencing that class are named in the rest of the app so he is being consistent with the app. What do you think should be done? Do I approve his PR?

Had a job interview for a front end dev (Involving a technical test). After couple of days, recruiter says - Unfortunately they say that you are too focused on best practices so they want to pass.

I found this video pretty cool. Its Uber's new UI. My question: Not related to dev but because I want to learn to do something like this, which software do you think was used to make this video?

When you have a ton of business logic in one of the main services. Good or bad?

Hangfire, Autofac and Web API ! Only if i can figure out this shit😖😖

I'm working on my side project. I'm using AngularJS and C# as my stack. During the process I made some cool angular directives which I'm thinking I should put up on github for the world to refine them and make them even cooler 😉and obviously use them.

Finally got a phonegap app to share location when the app is in the background. The plugin documentation no where says that you cant test it on the phonegap app and that you have actually install it in your phone to test the background location sharing.

Just realized one of my partners works with the waterfall methodology. I told him I'm sorry i cant work with him. What do you think?

When you are in Visual studio and you want to find something and you do ctrl+f and type in your search and hit enter and realize that the search location was set to "Entire Solution" 😖😖😖

Does anyone go on popular websites and inspect element and to the network tab to see what kind of server they using as a backend?
