Not my CS lecturer but my ICT teacher in high school convinced me that it would be a great idea to go study CS at University. It was the best decision of my life as I'm now happily working full time as an Android developer for a startup. Couldn't imagine myself doing any other well paid job and being this happy.

Sadly I never got to tell him where I ended up post graduation but I did get to tell him that I secured myself a good placement year when I was at university when I found out he was sick.

He was so grateful of me getting in touch and I'm glad I managed to get to say thank you to him before he passed away.

Leukemia fucking sucks. RIP.

I never had a problem with daylight savings, that was until I tried handling it along with date and times in different time zones in Java. FML.

Google: "Your update is now live"

Me: "Excellent! Time to start working on that new feature. I guess it wouldn't hurt to make sure the new live update is working fine"

*uses new update*

*realises I have to fix something in the new live update*

I was using SimpleDateFormat and everything was great but then next thing I find out, the time offset for GMT is stored as Z and not +00:00 which is the format I needed for API calls.

Every other time zone follows a similar format but yet somebody thought it was a good idea to switch it up for GMT

So Apple, you're telling us developers that instead of using keyboard shortcuts, we're supposed to use the touch bar instead? Oh and also carry 20 adapters to do the same thing we could do with the 2015 MacBook Pro?

That horrible moment when you decide to continue working on a task at home, only to find out you didn't commit your changes in work. Fuck.

Step 1: Find bug
