Anyone else here that, if working on a challenging problem, just needs silence (rather than music or background noise?) Seems to be an increasingly rare thing, especially with younger folk.

If I'm just doing boilerplate coding / something not too challenging I can work with whatever. If I really need to think however - I do that way better with no auditory distraction.

I have a existential question. Devs developing IDE's uses the same IDE to develop that IDE? I can't sleep thinking on that 🤔😂

Hmm... Seems accurate!

The sun is shining, wife is out of town, people are having fun at the beach, there's an outdoor party going on in my neighborhood and I'm full of power.

What a perfect day to port my private projects to TypeScript.

Found this on instagram. 😂

People on stackoverflow are really just the worst. Ok whatever, you have 20 years of experience more than me, and you've written code in dozens of languages. Doesn't grant you being a dick to me and downvote my answer just because it could've been written in 1 line instead of 5.

The internet has become a big echo chamber.

I have a few questions:

How do you say "++" in your head:

Pronouncing "SUDO":

Vim or Emacs:
https://www.strawpoll.me/17342771

It is so frustrating to be searching for a problem, find a possible answer on Stack Overflow, and click on it to find out that the only answer was some douche bag explaining to the poster how their question is irrelevant or explain how much more they know. Either answer the question or help them politely.

Case In Point:
Q:
"Is there a ____ library that does _____?

A:
"Why would you want to do that? There are far better ways."

Either provide the "ways" or shut up.

Dear coworker,

We have a very nice SASS setup so WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU POLLUTING OUR HTML WITH INLINE STYLES!?!?!? It's not like it's even necessary to use inline in this case, I can achieve the same thing by just moving your styling to the scss files. So I ask again, WHY THE FUCK???

Sincerely,
A mildly pissed person who hates front-end dev work

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (@MIT ) should consider giving scholarships to eveyone who can pronounce and spell Massachusetts correctly.

Still my favourite one! 🐧

If the Firefox Quantum is really good then you don't need to say:

"Chrome will become obsolete"

"I hope Chrome dies"

"Chrome's dead, long live Firefox"

to prove that it's a great browser. Fanboys always ruins nice experiences.

People who send an email saying "I'm getting an error message".

WHERE DID YOU GET IT?!

WHAT IS THE FUCKING ERROR MESSAGE?!

OH NO SURE LET ME LOOK IN MY CRYSTAL BALL, I'LL HAVE IT FIGURED OUT FOR YOU IN NO FUCKING TIME.

Guys, I think I am addicted and I have problems... I tried to write a simple SudokuSolver program in C# (one file) but I ended up writing an ExtensionMethods class, a Puzzle class, a Solver class, an IO class, a Program class...

That's why I hate working on big side-projects for too long

Don't you love when you start feeling down because you once again shelve/abandon yet another project because you simply don't know where to start and can't decide how things should be done.

Why can't I seem to get a project off the ground without it looking like total ass!

Noisy co-workers are driving me insane 😁

Quantum bugs.

Code starts working when the only thing you do is examine it with console logs.

ARG! I hate technical books that explain what we just covered why we just covered it now what we are going to cover, why we are going to cover it then have a small amount on the feature then explain again why we covered it and what we covered... ProVim I am looking at you!

I swear the the majority of my work is spent on "how can a user fuck this up"

I'm doing it! I'm making the move to Vim!
