Resolve overlaps in repos downstream from current project. 1 overlap... Get in today, 7 overlaps downstream; including original. This means we can't deploy the code that a developer decided needed to be fixed; it didn't; and we have 1 week before go live and still need UAT validation, oh and QA needs to retest all the components due to the "required fix". What in the actual fuck?!

Got a new job! And a title bump. 😎

Windows has started to give the good old "An error has occurred and windows has to restart" error. Only a matter of time before everything is gone... 😓

There should be a "Did you get latest? There have been 'x' commits since you last opened this project" dialog box when opening any team project.

Project released to dev environment... None of my changes are in there. Check the TFS check-in history and the check-ins aren't the code I wrote for specific items. Don't know why, or how. My life is a lie.

Spent all week 40+ hours attempting to get my companies application up and running using the documentation written by one of the developers. Mind you, 20+ hours pulling and replacing files. Get to the end and nothing works, contact the developer that wrote the set up guide, and he has no idea how to fix and at some point admits her forgot some steps in the documentation and doesn't know what they are. Spent over 6 hours in troubleshooting meetings with that dev and another dev and made no progress. The documentation devs answer to try and fix it every five minutes, "do an iisreset". Fuck you and the camel you rode in on.

That moment when your company switches developers from salary to hourly to avoid paying anyone more and skirts the new federal requirements.

Who prefers long descriptive variable names compared to variables that are acronyms?

Discovered yesterday that my company blocks IRC ports... Sad day. Why, why would you do this?! Oh the humanity! 😭

Removed a package from my web app yesterday, turns out the package also removes Bootstrap as it's a dependency. TF?! Who removes Bootstrap with an insignificant plugin? Why?!

Fuck Ajax and it's stupid fucking side effects. A language should not have inherent side effects. "Oh, you like responsiveness?! How about I just remove all your events after a post?! How about that for responsive design ya lil bitch!"

A project that is used across our company with multiple clients. It's huge, over 2million lines of code and 116 separate projects. Not a single piece of documentation. Took me three weeks to track down where the authentication occurred with visual debugging and mapping tools.

Boom! Stickers! Suck it noobs!

Have an interview this coming week for a position that pays 125% more than I currently make... So excited. 😁

@dfox: Avatars, very cool. Can't wait to get more ++ and show off an awesome desk and puter.

@dfox: Might be my mobile browser, but I get the following when I try and visit links in rants.

"The webpage at intent://rants/157078/... could not be loaded because:

net::ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME"

!rant

Reduced a page load time from 23.8 seconds to 0.5 seconds by disabling tracking of entities on the page. Felt awesome.

Manager Logic: The project is behind, we have brought on additional managers to satisfy the client. 😲 The fuck is a manager going to do? "Meetings! We need more meetings to ensure the deadline is met."

Compiled and type checked JavaScript! Yes, types are guaranteed at compile and run time! JS++: www.onux.com/jspp/

Yay! 😀

Deployment to production last night, and the whole thing is halted because the DBA didn't find it necessary to show up. 2 hours of calling everyone possible and nothing. Thanks DBA, for your prompt and timely handling of the deployment... 😑

Project before lunch: Green and good to go.🏞🏞

Project during lunch: Holy fuck the world is collapsing what the fuck are these exceptions! Get back and fix this! 🌋🌋

Five minutes after lunch: It's fixed... Files were being named incorrectly.🏞🏞

Person: "Can you speed up my computer? Don't delete anything though."
Me: "Your hard drive is at 99%... you need to get rid of some stuff."
Person: "Can't you do it with out deleting anything?"
Me: "We can move it to a cloud service..."
Person :"No, that won't work. How will get my stuff back?"
Me: "Nvm..."

I found an interesting job post on SO, I decide to apply. It comes with a programming test. A simple unit test that must pass (see current-1 post). I get it passing, go to send off my resume and code and the fucking email they supplied isn't valid or active. Fuck you. Eat dicks. Useless fucking HR.

What the fuck is this shit? How can I trust anything these days?

Found out today during testing that a page made it to the server when it wasn't supposed to exist... Angry soapbox dev sent out a blast email... No you cock, it's not supposed to look like that because it's not supposed to fucking exist. 😒

Anyone ever used Coverity? What's it

Got my home lab set up today.

I've got a question for everyone as we are all in the same realm. How do you handle working for a company who provides no motivation, very little challenges, horrible pay, incompetent developers, and completely useless management?

Also, no other opportunities in the area. Literally. So, "change companies" wouldn't really be a viable option.

All your ++ belong to us

Let's get X implemented. Have it ready in (((expected time - actual time) / √(fucks to give)) * 🦄).
