Coming from C# to Swift be like

Very random, I’d normally post this on twitter but my girlfriend is there and it’s about her. A bit long and very personal...

to;dr My girlfriend and soon to be fiancé officially who is certain we are going to marry, doesn’t want to invite people to our wedding anymore because she doesn’t have close friends like I do and I’m quite disappointed.

My girlfriend and I have been planning to get married for a while now at least 18 months. I haven’t asked her to marry me yet officially but I know she’ll say yes because we’ve discussed it. We’ve spoken about a small wedding with a few friends not much family but the more we spoke about it the more she’s reduced how many people we should invite. Today she basically said she doesn’t want to invite anyone because she doesn’t have any friends she’s that close to or trusts like that.
By comparison I have about 5 best friends I can count on any day of the week and at least 5 other friends I’d want to be there. We’re both introverts but I’m close to some of these guys because we have similar mental illnesses and trauma from our youth and we gravitated to each other like magic. She kinda gets jealous of that sometimes or sad that she isn’t close to anyone like that besides me. But not like a toxic jealousy or anything. I’m pretty disappointed that at this point it really may just be us at our wedding.
I’m a romantic and the day will be great regardless, after all it’s her I’m marrying not them. On the flip side I’ve always seen my wedding day as something I’d get to share with my close friends I wanted to get married in the past in fact this would be the second time I’d propose to someone. She’s the one that made me feel like I’d marry again after the first engagement went terribly.
I’m disappointed and if I bring it up too much it’s just gonna make her feel awkward and cave for me but I don’t want that. Gonna marry her regardless though.

‪Me: Should be able to refactor this viewModel in a couple of hours.‬
‪Me 7 hours: Ye fuck these 28 other build errors right now.‬

Here’s a neat life hack for iOS. Tired of your phone looking the same? Just create an NSBevel object in your app and set the color to whatever you want. You don’t need to buy a new phone. Works best with white iPhones.

If you build it, it will crash.

Reverts one file, ruins whole night. Don’t drink and revert. If your feeling sleepy it’s best to pull over and take a nap. Reverting while tired is irresponsible.

Is it possible to change my deviant user name? Rants cant be private right? I used my common username and well it’s easier to change this than to go change my github and everything else.

The most painful thing about my new job isn't my switch iOS; it's this{

ItHurts{

Print("FML")

}

}

I miss Visual Studio, I'm barely into the relationship with XCode and I already need closure.

Me: Interview is in 3 hours, I'm prepared, it's non technical anyway, just be yourself.

Brain to me: What the fuck is big 'O' notation? Objects you mean chairs? Turing? That's some kind of robot right?

Also me: fuck....

That awkward moment when you realize the code you have been debugging for an hour actually works fine and updating the entire dataset. You've just been returning only the top 1000 rows.

I've been complaining for 2 years about working on a project with shitty external developers. Finally get another project done by internal developers and the architecture and decisions made were just as shitty. Like, there are Soap web services implemented solely for the web app ui alongside rest services for the mobile app. Now I'm left to maintain the failed attempt to correct the architecture 3 years ago and all the devs already left. Oh joy.

Day 2 of working in December. The Christmas carols have started again from the top of the playlist. Carols from a time when you even tell they were singing in black and white. Several more hours until Mariah Carey kicks in again. Send help.

You kinda just wake up one day and find yourself in a Dilbert comic. It then gets worse if you realize you aren't even Dilbert.

Finally back at the HQ and away from Offsite Hell after 18 months!!!!!!!!!!!! Real internet! Coffee on tap! Community of practice meetings! COOODDDEEEE!!!! Also back to devrant. Goodbye Indian devs from hell, j/k they still suck life out of my day with their deprecated ways.

Side note:
Switched to Unreal Engine from Unity recently and my god it is amazing! I definitely prefer being able to use C# with unity vs c++ with unreal but the blueprint system is a great visual programming system.

Unit testing is my new side chick. She wants me to leave my wife; I'm considering it.

Unrelated: Read Dead Redemption 2 is amazing.

So much has happened, I've been learning things, I got robbed, I discovered I love test driven development, my laptop fell downstairs and is now screenless, I'm still on this project and still have not gotten the source or gone live, side work exists though so I get to make some more money, car engine needs to be overhauled, project extended still not in production. Send Help.

Me: I should probably commit.
Hubris: You'll be fine its just a couple renames.
Also Me: Fuck...

*Completes unit testing training*
*Achieves fresh perspective*
*Looks at game code*
*Prepares to right unit tests for that problem method*
*Stares at code as crickets chirp*

So my coworker just got this error on production server, and well, the stack trace stood out to us all...

Haven't done much work on my game since December. Ok so I havent done anything on my game since December. Learned Mockito and JUnit formally (finally) because that's what we'll be using at work.

Never really learnt unit testing prior, just knew it's power. I just need to find the right unit testing and mocking frameworks that work well with .net, C# and Unity3D and I'll be great.

I'll finally attempt to properly test that (those) annoying part(s) of my game. So many vectors to work out and often the object is moved to or along the wrong vector.

I'd always only imagined having to use stubs which is why I've never understood how unit testing would really help in such a dynamic environment as video game development. Especially as a one man team. Mocking is about to be my lifesaver.

Anyone able to suggest a good testing and/or mocking framework for C#, .Net, Unity3D?

The more code I write the worse I feel as a programmer. Just me?

An 80's programmer once said to her son, my friend a writer, "Don't be self deprecating".

Time to refactor my thoughts.

Stranger Things, apart from Mr. Robot, has the best implementation of computer hacking I've seen in a "television" show! Just straight up CODE.

Being bipolar sucks. Hypomania kicks you in the chin and your "realize" you're a shitty pprogrammer and your world is ending. Sometimes you get stickers from devRant thouch. mood++
Thanks devRant.

Writes code.
Doesn't work as intended.
Debug.
Works as intended.
Tests other scenarios.
Don't work as intended.
Debug.
Works as intended in scenarios.
Scenario 1 fails.
Stares at code.
Staring doesn't work as intended.
Fuck...

[Stares at screen]
A 4?
Where did a 4 come from?
[Maximizes window]
[Staring intensifies]
What!?

Looks at working but terrible code.... I can refactor that later.

Told the 3rd party developer we wanted a feature in the software they are developing. When you change the master data X we want the corresponding historical Y's to be updated. I have not seen the code or database. He wants me to explain how the functionality should work... I... I dunno how to respond...

So notable international development company who promised changes by 8 days ago but halted dev 2 weeks before delivery and claimed they were shippable but need to meet with us first admits that was a lie without admitting it... Also no longer stressing us for the next payment anymore... Looks like the shit is on the other foot now bruv!

lmao

This means 2 more months of me doing analyst and QA work.... I just want to cooooooooooode. I haven't seen the code for this application and I'll have the joy of integrating all the duct tape into our ecosystem. I can hear them reeling the duct tape off all the way in India at this point.

It's probably gonna be so shit...

Everyday

Ever add a semaphore and had it reveal a massive set of race conditions? Me either.
