Damnit Jack

Started out reading "Standard C++ Bible" (~800 pages), who does that anyway? Throughly studied the language and at 14 years of age tried hard even grasping what the word polymorphism meant, realising 10 years later how much it gave me. Immensely grateful that C++ choose to rip my brain apart at that young age.

Anyone else listening to Savant when coding?

¡notafuckingrant!

Meanwhile in OS X: Pressing alt-space gives you a nbsp, not a normal space character. Happens quite easily after a pipe on my layout. Just suck in the pain of that syntax error.

Telling a developer to just start coding (because we need shit done) is like asking the surgeon not to wash he's hands before a operation cause it would save us time.

I don't want to sound like a badass but...

There is only one, and zero.

Company slogan for someone who wants to stick their head out and be the best, what do you think? Too cringy?

MacBook Pro 2016, for people with little to none knowledge in what to expect from a PRO friggin product, who wants to feel like a pro.

PM: I want a status report
ME: Here you go (sending email)
PM: I want more status (!?)
ME: Ok (adding some random bullshit)
PM: Perfect, thank you!

One day I will renovate our summer place, bring a top team of developers, spend the summer close to nature at a beautiful place where silence fucking exists and create something awesome.

Biggest achievement today

Classic

Probably fixing an error, not really knowing because it can't be reproduced in your shitty dev environment, push to production and just enjoy, my day every day...

Seeing all the comments I just had to...

Sometimes I enjoy being the idiot

Having to work with requirement analysis, attending to worthless meetings, acting like a project leader from time to time and developing in two projects in parallel really fucks with your head. Feels like this is hurting my ability to progress in code a lot. Anyone having the same situation?

Who else is waiting for Apple upgrading this little beauty?

My company is contracted by a pretty big one. Having worked with them for about two years now with good insight into what's going on here I'm crying fucking blood over the 110% crazy decisions (and greatly expensive) caused by incompetent people with decision making positions. Feeling enlightened about why so many IT projects fail...

I have a customer who seriously calls me, very upset, very bossy, telling me to let go of whatever I'm doing and take a look at this super urgent master bug that we probably are responsible for.

Nowadays I just giggle for myself and telling him I will take a look at it.

90% of the time it's caused by themselves or someone else...
