Hmmm...maybe when applying for a Java developer role, and then being asked “what would you like to learn at this company?”...I think saying “Java” isn’t the right thing to say 😅1
-
Jeesh! In the last 12 months I've had a lot of emails from the different services I've used that they've been compromised and a database of emails and hashed passwords have been exposed 😒1

Adding a new feature to a mobile app that has a bunch of classes for getting URLs! Want some examples?
FallbackUrlProvider
CompositeUrlProvider
CompositeRouteUrlProvider
CompositeBaseUrlProvider
RootUrlProvider
I was half expecting to find FallbackRootBaseCompositeUrlProvider!
Not only that, but there were a load of interfaces that sometimes didn't match the name of the class!!!
For example,
class RootUrlProvider : ICompositeUrlProvider
Ugh! But I managed to get the new feature in... Somehow... After trying something... Throwing it away... Trying something else... Throwing it away...
😭😭😭3 -
Seriously?! Your username is your full name... With spaces?! Pushing against the grain! Pushing against the grain...1

Client wants this "demo" LIVE by the end of the month... But still not got access to THEIR API yet!!! 😑1

Oh dear! Knew this email from Heroku was going to come saying I'm approaching by limit for the free Postgres database...Guess I'll have to start trying to monetize this website to pay for the next tier 😅2

Went to a dotNET interview yesterday and I had to do a simple MCV app. They were using Visual Studio 2017, so I thought "cool! I can use some C# 6-7 features!". But for some reason it didn't build...and the errors were not very helpful!
Also my ajax calls kept refreshing the page, even though I was calling preventDefault() in the form submit action 😣1 -
When you've not done anything with react-router for a while and the latest version is so very very different 😫4
-
Ugh! So boring writing the same thing over and over! So instead I wrote a ruby script to generate some C# code for me!
Honestly...I just make excuses to do stuff with Ruby 😂3 -
Fighting for an hour explaining how a query wouldn't return the data he wanted...turns out it did...but really not sure how... FU Access!
-
Cringed when I saw camelCase, snake_case, PascalCase and CONSTS (for non consts) in 10 consecutive lines of code! 😖😖😖
I suppose if you don't know which coding style to pick... Just try them all!!!!! 😱7 -
My work area. Linux on the left and windows on the right. Although spend most of my time on the Linux side 😍

When you feel like you are getting so much stuff done, that you don't want to stop!!!
Need to get some sleep though! -
React, redux and electron. Why can't you be simple 😂.
Might consider writing a yeoman generator when I find something that works!1 -
Anyone else get neck pains due to sitting at a computer all the time? Not sure whether it is that, or if I have not been sleeping properly 😟14

So happy I found GitLab! Best feature is the integrated CI. No need to pay to have CI for private repositories for my hobby projects 👍14

What a productive day! Managed to speed up some code by getting rid of some classic ASP AND sticking it in a dotNET library instead! Ran some benchmarks and it seems to work pretty fast now 😎1
-
Everyone who runs tests on our platform complains about the speed and says that it needs to be optimised ASAP. Then assumes someone else will do it. Then a few weeks later they complain again!
Vicious cycle...Vicious cycle!
