Never worked faster and more efficiently than the night before going on vacation... So... Vacation every day.

When someone tells you they thought their iPhone 6 was water proof because they installed iOS 10. Facepalm 😖👋5
-
When the technically inept PM wants to be included on every single email thread. So then you have to waste even more time explaining.
-
When I first met the Logo turtle I was hooked. Then learned Pascal. Saw recursion and my brain exploded. 23 years and still love it every day 🐢
-
When I changed my attitude and stopped feeling like a righteous prick for fixing a few hard bugs. Fixing that one bug in my own software was the coolest and opened the most doors for me by far.
-
When you complain about having too many meetings, and then get invited to a meeting to discuss other meetings FMDL 😡1
-
When you go to an architecture meeting and people's statements are so abstract that they could apply to any product on the face of the earth.1
-
When my codev branches my prototype repo because he's going to do something totally different, but just does the same.
-
When you create a script to automate something, and that one guy keeps estimating high on the task because he likes to do it manually and refuses to use it because "his way is simple and safer".1
-
The panic when there are only two competent programmers in the scrum team, and PM says he is moving one to another team.
-
When you tell one of your teammates this would be a perfect feature to develop using TDD. They agree, and after a couple of days they send you a code review with 0 unit tests and a message saying "I will start working on the tests while you review this."
-
When there is a hard high priority bug come up and someone on the team assigns it to themselves and writes on JIRA: "I volunteer as tribute".
-
When that guy *always* starts trying to aggressively optimize his code right after writing it. It really is the root of all evil. DK1
-
When you are the last one in the team to succumb to the stand up desk craze. Stay weak legs! Stay weak!3
-
When that one guy only points out in reviews missing semicolons and sapace/tabs issues. He could be reviewing 'return x/0' and will just say "you are missing ; after 0 mate".
-
When you spend 15 minutes writing the code, and 4 hours coming up with the perfect name for the class/method/variable5
-
When I have to ask the same person in the team for the hundredth time why they didn't run the unit tests before pushing 😞
Then eventually get them to setup system that prevents merging with broken tests themselves, but they do it in such a way that still lets them get away with pushing broken tests 😡3
