09:00 : 8 hours of sleep is perfect. I'll sleep at 10.
10:00 : Ah, I am still young, I don't that much sleep yet. 7 hours should do.
11:00 : 6 hour is the limit. I must sleep at least 6 hours to work properly tomorrow.
12:00 : Aw, fuck this :(
Next day at work: 10 cups of coffee2 -
My neighbor(He is 14 I think) pitched this to me and wanted advice since he was going try to participate in the Google science fair.
Him:"A robot that gives you medical advice. You just tell it your symptoms and voila! You've got your diagnosis. No doctor required."
Me: "How are you going to decide what disease the user has?"
Him:" I'm just going to write an if-else ladder statement. I've already got some of the data from this site called WebMD. It's amazing."
Me: "Go with something simple. What you're suggesting won't work out."
He told me I didn't have "Vision".
His ditched his project last week.18 -
The problem with working on a debugger for a living is that you can end up debugging a debugger debugging a debugger that is remotely debugging a debugger which is debugging a program...
...only to find out there's a bug in the first debugger and you need to debug it.4 -

My friend and I have been debugging this server issue where the server can't find the input file.
30 minutes passed, we checked, restarted everything, still no avail.
When I saw his safari browser, THE FULL URL WASNT SHOWING. The server was working, we just didn't see a redirect behavior because of apple fucking trying to fucking prettify everything.
GOD DAMMIT.

I tell a colleague, "Hey, could you make your commits more meaningful? A commit message of '.' helps nobody.".
He then uses 'no message' for his commits.
Also, commits every 30 seconds. I know commit often... But is that really necessary?
Why.7 -
Client sends multiple emails claiming that Im delaying n work and that he has a deadline. (In 4 hours)
I checked his revised briefing and started work in hopes of finishing it under my own deadline of 3 hours.
Received another email from my client telling me that the briefing is incomplete and that he will send me the final briefing tonight -_-
What the fuck man?10 -
I've given up on scrum, it's a nice system that allows one to identify problems easier and quickly.
Just a two issues:
1) The boss skips more of them than he's in.
2) Even when we say we need something, we never get it.
So we never get what we need and we've not got a readily accessible means to flag issues up.2 -

When you code a bunch of stuff while horribly stoned, and the next day it all still works really well, but you cannot for the life of you figure out how or even why it works.4

when I am maintaining someone elses code, the class is 900 lines and I loose the context on line 100... then I rely on the test fixture... where all tests are ignored.

omg apple does not like to make things easy! Trying to set up developer accounts for a company but a company can't be an agent? a team member who isn't an agent can't create certificates or keys?
Android development seems so easy and nice now6 -
If you put a million monkeys on a million keyboards, one of them will eventually write a Java program. The rest of them will write Perl programs.4

Took yesterday off to sort out a new passport.
Today on the stand:
Manager: "So we've been trying to get app X running on a dev environment for client X but we couldn't expose it to them"
Me: "Well yeah it's a dev environment if you want to give them one give them access to staging"
Manager: "Oh well we're still going to give them access to dev because they asked for it. It's due for 10am but we couldn't get it to run. You have to get it running since we edited the config files"
*accessing dev environment*
half of config files is missing, random files committed to the repo, SSL certs manually edited, eth0 down and found swan vpn installed.
never taking a day off again.1 -
Recruiter: Do you use .net C#?
Me: Uh. No. I applied for a position of a front-end developer. I use JavaScript and...
Recruiter: Oh, that's good. We need an Android developer.
