I get the impression this one would have asked if it hadn't failed to reboot part way through... Either way, it's super annoying.

10. The Creator update, specifically.

Atlasian, clearly.

Didn't have to — he up and stopped coming to work, no notice given.

I'm hoping for a flood of downvotes so great, that it overflows a the high score.

@szymex73 and not power your devices...

Snowstorms. Whiteout conditions if possible.

I need this on a T-shirt... And possibly on a bra for my wife...

I think I'm being undercompensated...

To think I left the high energy particle physics field for this...

We've all been there.

F*ck feature creep.

I'm debugging a legacy USB I/O API that uses the Windows API for all it's low-level communications. WriteFile() fails, GetLastError() returns an out-of-scope value flagged as an "application error". The USB Vendor has no docs on the code returned.

Turns out our API has been ignoring this error for years — and all other errors returned by WriteFile().

... Guess it wasn't important?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bless you, @DotM.

Bless. You.

Given a google employee is a relatively successful tabletop role-playing game designer, are you really surprised?

I used to love my Mac – then I had to maintain a legacy hardware driver through the great IOKit deprecations of El Capitan... Now I'm a grumbly old man.

To be fair, he also gave me a Tesla Roadster: https://goo.gl/photos/...

-Albert Einstein, probably...

That's why "Washing Windows" is always on my chore list.

I don't think I'd use it... I rarely use keyboard functions (other than the num pad) that take my hands off the home row.

Sounds like most of the legacy code I work with.

I love semantic, but I have to fight with it more than I do with Bootstrap.

me after a sleeping on it: Fuck... I was editing the wrong file...

Buggy. How am I seeing this?

what about root, root, and root? Don't forget us physicist.

funny... I always thought they viewed us as slaves. ;)

second for Mattermost. I host my own server for chats – it's the open source equivalent of Slack.

How they separate the practical examples from the structural documentation, while also making the practical examples useless, and the structural documentation ineffective is a mystery to me.

Sounds like he needs to read sourcemaking.com a few times. 😉

If he can't see the forest for the trees, then refactor while you write.

That's a weird stance for a manager to take... Is he just bit following good design patterns, that'll land you with a bunch check of rigid, unmanageable code later on? Or is it something more sinister?
