I just want to try me some liquid sky at 1 am, is that so wrong?

@rozzzly meanie

spiders. my biggest fear is spiders. that is relevant because if I see one I'll probably shriek, give the elderly half of our team heart attacks and set the building on fire to kill it. next question?

I'd have called you back in, very resourceful:)

Just define the singleton as a static field in a separate class. The semantics of Java guarantee that the field will not be initialized until the field is referenced, and that any thread which accesses the field will see all of the writes resulting from initializing that field.

<3 my java :)

I would like it, but FOR THE HORDE you ally scum. :)

code will always be there. family may not be.

rant about demotivation seems legit enough. I'd attribute it more to your age than your potential to be great at programming. I found a hard time getting motivated to do anything that wasn't fun as a teenager. So my advice is to make it fun - code something you like, including a utility to make something you like doing better. If you like mmorpgs you can write add-ons for them, for example.

@elazar forget legitimacy, why is it necessary when we are talking about work. Unless having a penis or not having one is going to determine whether or not you can do your job I don't need to know while we are talking about doing that job. If after we fix the server we go out for drinks and you want to talk about your non-penis status, fine. Until then, stfu about gender!

protein bars. can eat with one hand and type with the other. some days they're the only reason I don't starve.

daily Ubuntu user here, both work and personal, love it!

yep, they are awful.

SIDE PROJECT!!! No really. you sound like you need some passion thrown into your work again and if you can't get it from the one who signs your paycheck, find it for yourself. Find an open source repo you can contribute to on a subject you enjoy if you aren't the self-starter type

too > you
sounds like a good case for a side-project you can think about while you're working on simple work stuff. some devs I know use an audio book app to listen to books to entertain themselves when tasks are boring. I listen to music myself.

a wise man once told me: "don't attribute to malice what can be explained by ignorance." okay, so it was my senior dev that told me that. and not once, but several times in response to my critique of code I had to work with from outside our organization. but really, programming is hard enough that not even good devs eff up on purpose because they know sometimes you can't even get through your own GOOD code let alone purposefully wrong code. and if a bad dev does that, he will dig his own grave and deserves to be in it :)

Too could find something to do that's ridiculously difficult and not boring in your free time so you're glad for the brain numb during work?

work or school?

no, just an example of the ridiculousness of gender clarification during programming-related discussion :)

it does suck, fuck that. code on.

if you feel the need to correct in an otherwise an anonymous environment you ARE asking to be defined by your gender. why do we need to know you are female? I wasn't trying to be serious, I was trying to pass along some experience as a female in the same field but you aren't very receptive, are you.. maybe that's senior devs prob with you?

gives it character

@pyrotazz
as a fellow she, I want to tell you to avoid letting your gender cloud the argument. you'll get called a he a lot in this field. you'll have to look past it and stay focused on the work. if you let your gender play a prominent role in your current position I wouldn't be surprised if your senior dev does too, including not feeling confident in your ability to take on what seems like a simple task. it's shitty, but it's damn true. We can be all things feminine outside of work: wear skirts, make babies, drink pink martinis, watch chick flicks, whatever your girl heart desires. But at work I've found it to be way more productive to be as gender-neutral as possible in all the things. And this is about 50x as applicable if you are an attractive female. play it down or suffer in this field, I've found. guys don't do well thinking concurrently with both heads ;)

Sometimes I look incredulously at my paycheck. It really is incredible to be paid to do something you enjoy. Other times I look at my next project, the constraints on how I have to do it and how far from how I want to do it they are, and want to stab myself. The better you get at something the more likely you are to have strong opinions about how it should be done and those opinions don't always matter to business. Stay flexible and positive, fledgling!!
