I am a software engineer and my cousin is a Geek Squad employee for the local Best Buy. And he thinks we do the same thing.

I noticed several people blaming the new Chrome update for breaking their CSS. From what I know Chrome did not "break" anything. Using browser quirks, experimental features, and deprecated code typically results in this. When you see a "neat trick" on a blog, Stack Exchange, JsFiddle, whatever, be sure to research what you are about to implement. Especially if it has a post date older than 2 years.

Is it just me or do others also think programmer jokes like "...converts caffeine and pizza into software" and similar to be fucking annoying?

So this just happened. Certainly takes the cake for job recruiter experiences.

Sticker durability testing.

Use the CLI they said. It would be fun they said.

Only think I like more than coding is roller derby. Live streaming a game while I work on my own derby scoreboard.

At my previous employer my boss asked me how long a project would take. Told him about a week maybe two. He then informed me it was due that day. Apparently the client gave it to him months ago. I worked a 35 hour weekend to make it happen. Then he complained that my weekly time sheet was higher than normal. He didn't think it was accurate and underpaid me. So glad I got out of agency work.

Github's unlimited private organization repos for $25 a month has made me rethink which co-workers actually need repository access.

When you do something not part of your job but you were feeling nice today. Then it sets in that you just inherited that task. What have I done...

Running SQL Activity Monitor to find inefficient queries. According to legecy team this is how they think they should query SQL 2014 for a customer.

A lot of talk about PMs here. I wasn't aware of how many developers have to report directly to prime ministers.

Found a code comment that states, "//Don't remove. In for a reason." with no further explanation. Um, shouldn't all the code in this project be in for a reason?

Finally the animated gifs are starting to die down on the feed. I hope you all got that out of your system.

New web devs don't know the struggle of using spacer.gif, nested table layouts, and vibrant "web friendly" colors out of requirement.

Hello carpal tunnel my old friend...

Spent the last year coding on ACA eligibility metrics and end of year tax 1095c automation for the company's employees. Just now getting around to doing my own taxes.

Once saw someone turn in a fizz buzz with:
console.log ("fizz buzz");
They didn't get offered the job.

People that made a couple PHP tweaks to WordPress be like, "I am a full stack developer." on LinkedIn.

Atom packages be like, "You can easily access me with a shortcut by holding shift + alt + ctrl + a + b + c while rapidly hitting up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, a and b."

I wonder if NPM prevents allowing a package to be it's own dependency. If not I have important trolling business to tend to.

My devRant looks busiest during 9-5 working hours. On the behalf of your boss, get back to work.

The Github repos for my work have a 'facepalm' label. I die a little inside everytime I have to use them.

Dear Mobile Designers,
There is a difference between mobile first and mobile preferred. Stop being lazy and take advantage of desktop real estate. My monitor is not a big ass tablet.
Thank you,
Desktop End User

When I drink and code at home I put "while drunk" at the end of a commit so I know which ones to look back over later. This system worked great for me until yesterday when I included that in a PR for a work repo.
