Spending a whole day troubleshooting why an environment variable appends in IIS rather than being replaced and what out of all our heaps of shit on our internal server is resetting the original value which is then being appended to. Kicker is, already have a docker solution which handles this use case 100% of time but we're too cheap to upgrade our internal environments from motherfucking Windows server 2008 so we can't use it. Save money at all costs!

1. Work on a side project with friends
2. Make some friends
3. Get better at forward planning

I'm so sick of being the only developer to have the courage to stand up, shout, argue and put a stop to incredibly poor, short-sighted and uninformed, company-damaging decisions made by managment.

No brain. Half 11 at night is not a good time to learn a new programming language. Please be quiet so I can get some sleep and go back to working on really boring things tomorrow without being grumpy about it

Me: We need to have a developer on our core product

*We fork our core product from a private repo for new projects

Management: No.

Me: But imma die 5years early from stress and anger overdose of fixing the same problems over and over again in every new project we do and still hit deadlines which didn't account for them when we could fix them once and maintain our core product

Management: everything is fine. Lalalalalala

Me: *wonder why every senior dev has left in last few years*

Developers wanted! No I'm not a recruitment agency

I'm relatively new to the field. Been working 2 years as a Web developer at the same company. So I want to ask, is it normal to be made to sprint plan live issues for any websites you maintain?

I'm so scared that if I fall asleep then I'll wake up and it'll be tomorrow and I'll have to go in and get asked questions all day at 10minute intervals instead of being able to code that I'm putting off going to sleep so I have longer to adjust to this horrible fate

Today I spent an hour teaching a QA guy some GCSE level maths to be able to test my code

Blindsided by a project meeting 5 mins to end of day when I was super busy and I've spent all day dealing with shitty hacked together legacy code, requirements changing everyday and still no business solutions to some areas of the project. We already have one booked in for tomorrow at 10. What the fuck. Needless to say I pretty much shouted about everything to everyone. Fucking joke. Now I'm just mad at me for letting my blood boil externally

I just tried to correct a spelling mistake in Hipchat by pressing Ctrl + .

It's so frustrating going from being able to create a microservice stack prototype by yourself in a couple of months in your free time at home to having to wait 3 months at work for someone to add a build step in Team City so you can automate deploying a database project.

How the fuck do I convince my company to use docker?

Argh. It's 1am and my brain is running through every problem we have at work and how to solve them. Can't it wait for like 4 hours; till when I have to be awake.

I fixed one problem we had at work with SSL over a year ago. Since then, whenever anyone has any problem vaguely to do with SSL, they come to me. The "expert". So I guess I'd like to become what I'm already perceived as... SSLman

When you work too late and can't mentally switch off so you just start the next day without any sleep

I'm honestly so happy and grateful to be in the world of web development. It's an amazing space to be in when you enjoy solving problems.

Consistently fast evolving and ever changing technologies means new and exciting problems are endless!

But I swear to all that is motherfucking holy, if I have to keep solving exactly the same problems over and over because the place I work at won't let me provide permanent solutions to old problems... I'm going. To. Lose. My. Freaking. Mind

decimal discount = line.Discount - (line.StandardPrice - line.CustomerPrice);

2 fucking hours working out what and why the fuck this line of code. Fml

Quick nap. Then back to work

If I spend 50% of my time in meetings, 30% of my time doing things for support/helpdesk which I'm not allowed to automate, 10% as a technical consult and 10% helping other devs... am I even a developer anymore?

Having to work for clients sucks. They are so rude. "We sent an issue over yesterday and it's still not fixed". You think you're our only customer? You think this shit is automated and takes no time to fix? You think you have resources working on you stuff 24/7. You don't man. Get in the queue and be grateful a load of time and effort goes in to your website. Sit down and stfu. Ahhh... that's better.

Doing as your told by one senior dev to be had a go at for doing it wrong by another. Need beers.

Damn it why is developing way more interesting at night time. Makes having a 9 - 5 really difficult

So I've always had an inflated opinion of my technical abilities. That is until I started working under this genius senior developer for the last 2 years. He's kept my feet on the ground and reduced my head to a normal size so much. Tomorrow is his last day. Googling *dealing with god complex* right now.

So sick of this one client. But why this but why that... it gets to the point of "because of technical shit you wouldn't understand". If you're so fucking interested in how your shit works, learn to build it yourself.

Ugh sizing feels so unproductive. I just want to create stuff man

On Sunday nights I hate doing what I love for a job. Lying in bed for hours too excited to sleep. Brain won't switch off about the cool things I'll be too tired to work on properly in a few hours

Why doesn't SQL server check when you cross apply a table with no where constraint... I'm an idiot

Vertically center without Google

Please estimate the thingymajig

It should be simple
