Nothing like trying to fix a product breaking bug in someone else's code that just ran off on vacation for a week. 😒

Even this Google Survey knows the pecking order for voice assistants 🤣 Cortona gets a dedicated line while Bixby gets the "Other" line.

Screw AIX! More importantly screw the IBM designer that though cache batteries were a good way to monitize their platform to help validate the service contracts. I guess it "works", but at what cost?

Just lost the last 4 business days going down this rabbit hole with a customer's server.

Edit: Quick note, yes, the customer is on track for a migration soon.

Nice try Trello....

Scored another win as the family tech guy! I found out my wife's sister and her husband were storing all their passwords in a Excel spreadsheet. Long story short they are now using a password manager. 😁

Caught someone testing in production on my way home the other day....

Just accepted a new position with a raise!

Feels good.

When you get paid for every commit or release to your app repo.

Thank goodness noise cancelling headphones exist. I have a coworker who loves running a white noise machine at his desk all day. 😒

But now I don't have to listen to it 🙉

Best purchase I have made all year.

Some people are a little too sensitive about harmless practical jokes. 😒

This popped up on Best Buy while I was looking around for ideas for my next chair. Somehow I don't think they are on speaking terms with their daughter anymore 🤣

Watching Google Analytics for my company's customer facing tools.

Almost half our traffic is made up of IE and Edge.

In that IE group, somewhere, there is a sad strange little user still on IE 8. Just one.

Poor guy.....

That moment when you double tap tweet in Twitter to like it. 🙃

Why can't more apps be like devRant!

After wasting most of the afternoon trying to fix Visual Studio, I can honestly say is is the worst IDE I have ever had the misfortune to use.

Seems the only way to "fix" it is to erase it and reinstall.

Fml

Any fellow devRanters here at OpenWest conference today?

Goodbye Inbox 😢

Hello Spark!

What a bunch of liars....Gmail still doesn't have all my "favorite Inbox features"!

One of the better filler release notes I guess. Not as good as Slack or Discord but still better than Google.

Sample Merge Conflict 🤣

Another day, another dead Google project.

Really wish Google could get messaging right.

What's the most number of lines you have written for a project without testing and then had it run the first time? Also for context, what language did you use?

Feeling pretty good with my 200+ in C#.

Nice learning experience from Spotify. If a survey response might contain negative feedback, just don't allow it to submit.

Clever Spotify ;)

If you could keep only one alias from your {bash, zsh, etc...}rc what would it be?

One of my biggest tech related peeves, someone shows a video as part of their presentation but doesn't use full screen or even worse leaves the cursor over the video.

Feeling like a boss! 😎

Long story short:
Solved a formating issue in a program at work by using ancii code 32.

Even my team lead didn't think of that solution!

Found this fun folder cleaning out my drive.

Whatever Microsoft......I am deleting it either way.

Today's my company's official final day with Slack.

Starting tomorrow it's nothing but the "superior" Google Chat. I will have no choice but to join the others who have already migrated over.

FML

It also mean I won't have any access to messaging outside the office because I don't want to accept the security certs on my phone.

Why can't more stuff support markdown?

I have had more reasons to use it lately, outside of repo READMEs, and (re)discovered just how awesome it can be in different text situations.

Go home Google, you're drunk.

Stepping up my security game!
This just showed up today!
