Had a developer interview today: asked him TOS or TNG he chose TOS and Kirk over Picard, un-hirable?

I was about a year into working for this small marketing company as the only developer. I was still pretty new to development, my first real gig, 2006'ish.

Form processing was still a struggle for me, so my really cool idea was to use an open sourced tool that would create and process any type of contact form, (think wufoo, but on your own server)

Anyway it was working great, then a few months later we decided to move all 30 of or our small clients to a new server, I moved everything over and deleted the old site (didn't make a backup of any DB (who does that?) got a call the next morning that none of our contact forms were working and nobody had any info stored from previous contacts.

Spent the next 2 weeks getting really good at php. We never did that again.

var productivity = null;

Setting a filter to send any mail from the QA team to spam is cool right?

Setting the bar for the week pretty low, Monday morning bug involves downloading a copy of Safari for Windows.

I nervously clicked the join dark side button in the settings menu, then instantly like life got better.

A while back I spent weeks cleaning up our 20 or so .scss files, then went on vacation. Our backend guys were left alone to "float: left" and "position: absolute", literally everything.

Got a recruitment message on linkedIn from someone outside of Texas (I'm from Dallas). Started with "Howdy" and in his small talk to make him relatable, asked how o thought the Dallas rodeo was, for his upcoming trip.

I don't think I even know anyone who's been to a rodeo.

These guys make me need a nap.
