I'm want to hear other Dev's opinions on this week's weekly group rant! Do you find that the "worst projects" are caused the most by:
A) Poor solution design and/or terrible-idea-to-start-with
B) Poor process and/or terrible project management
C) Working with terrible teammates/customers

Few things distress me as uniquely as finding a bug on a website I'm currently using, but having no way to tell the developers that it's broken

that moment you fix the bug that was unfixable

the worst mistake, really, was crashing our production not once, but twice in two days, and being too much of a newbie to recognize it was my fault it broke because of my code

I spent 3 full days trying to debug an error caused by ONE SINGLE SEMICOLON.

i just learned what pokemon go was and its basically my childhood dreams coming true. i love that developers can make that happen.

Posting here because I don't have enough nerdy friends that would appreciate this:

Funny how I can go all day not being able to think of anyone that bad, but then when I remember THAT ONE GUY from a group project in college, I can't stop ranting.

highlights:
- He micromanaged our group without adding any value on his end
- Scheduled 2 hour meetings on Friday evenings to show us his work so we could "learn and take notes"
- when the group finally reached out and asked if we could work differently, he completely shut down. like stopped replying and working completely.
- last night we were putting together our presentation, he bailed because he had an 8-HOUR date with someone he just met....nevermind that we had our calendar set a month prior
- prior to that date, he submitted code to our final release that was riddled with bugs, so I stayed up all night debugging and rewriting his parts

The moment when I excitedly tell my PM that I was able to replicate our production bug and he looks concerned...

For everyone here who has insane clients and/or enjoys complaining about them, you will also enjoy: clientsfromhell.net

The coolest project I ever worked on will always be the first project I contributed to that went to production.

New customer request comes in early December. I bend over backwards to get the requested job completed in a week before everyone leaves for vacation, only to be told that we re delaying testing because appropriate QA isn't 'around'

The next six months is a set of meetings to plan the meetings where we test, which kept being rescheduled, resources being switched around on the customer end, and "refresher" meetings since its been weeks since we talked last.

Today I was told that due to a completely separate effort, this development piece would no longer be needed and the project is being canceled.

Sometimes I read a rant on here, and I swear its a co-worker of mine that's written it since I've heard him make almost the exact same rant....

Does anyone else adore the show Silicon Valley?

Does anyone else think it's really cool that the founder uses this app regularly? Talking about you @dfox

Anyone going to OSCON tomorrow?

Not to make the Google joke for the 1000th time, but how did devs make progress before Google?

The IE version of any website should automatically direct users to a link to download a better web browser

Your family knows you work with computers, so obviously you can fix theirs when they break it.
