Handing in my resignation letter on April 1st, but then actually leaving.

Not really a prank, that's something I genuinely feel like doing nowadays.

Becoming independently wealthy and telling my employer I no longer require their services.

The best part of our daily standups is hearing my coworker's daughter whispering "Baba~" in the background, trying to get his attention for whatever reason.

Then when we end the meeting and say bye, you hear her in the background yell "Bye Bye~"

Adds a little cuteness to what usually is a very dull meeting.

The day is meetings.
The work is between.
The ramp-up is never.

1st day on the job and I am greeted with EOD, SIT, DEV, UT, POC..
Someone give me an Cheat sheet of this shh...

Can I get by a single week without having to waste 6 hours on trying to understand the 14 absolutely unreadable C++ errors?

What about You?

Get your code reviewed by as many good devs as you can. Tell them to be harsh, swallow your pride, expect the code to be torn apart. Then rinse and repeat.

It brings the "know it all" fresh grads down a peg or two, and often brings those with low self esteem up a peg or two (when they realise their code is better than they thought.) Anyone can write code that works. But writing decent, clear, well-tested code that stands up to scrutiny is a different ball game - and it's important to learn that quickly.

Junior dev at my workplace keeps telling me how efficient docker is.

He decided to solve his latest task with a containers in swarm mode.

As expected, things went sideways, and I had the joy of cleaning up behind him.

A couple of days later, I noticed that I was running low on disk space - odd.

Turns out docker was eating up some 60 GB with a bunch dangling images - efficient is a funny term for this.

You ever spend like 10 minutes typing up a whole-ass rant and then feel petty and dumb about it and just delete the whole thing?

Not sure if thats just me, but I absolutely can not stand watching people work on a computer slowly. Like: Watching people copy a text into a different window be like:

Select text with the mouse...
Move mouse down for 20 seconds until everything is selected ..
Right click
Copy
Click on Taskbar to open different program.
Right click in program
Click paste....

I .... just ... can't man.
Its: Ctrl+a, ctrl+c, alt+tab, ctrl+v

(And that is just one example, there are worse ones)

Maybe that just me, but I am so used to using my computer fast, and I optimized the shit out of my workflow.

Just came across this on SO earlier today.

When after git pull in the morning everything still works.

- wake up early
- brew a cup of joe
- find a quiet spot
- write code
