The loot

Appraisal Time Realisation: Nobody oils a good wheel. People always oil the wheel that makes most noise.

Once again, answered my own question in stack overflow. That my problems are so unique, it makes me lonely even in a dev forum.

The truth, whole truth, and nothing but there truth.

Broke the return key today.
Already feeling like the employee or the year.

Point of no return.

Looking at my reflection on the laptop screen while it is being upgraded, and thinking that the career choice i made 11 years back was probably not a great idea.
I don't understand amazon-cloud, very little knowledge of DBs, can't write a single JS class without googling, block chain are meh, don't even know python, working with a team that abuses my framework in front of me, working 12 hour shifts for last 3 years... What is my life's purpose?

On a WhatsApp group, discussing upcoming work.

Wore a suit to work.
Feels like a project manager.

Didn't open the IDE.

Responses are faster in non-prod perf testing environment than in prod.

On my twitter feed today.

Wife bought new iphone. Asked me to help set it up. Got cold shivers after setting up gmail.

Found this on Facebook today

The Singleton vs Dependency chain

Windows hits again, with its updates, this time in Ambience Mall, Gurgaon

React license goes MIT.

A big hurdle I'm fighting for last 1 year, is to convince a bunch of people having 10+ years of experience not to make production released of the same codebase from multiple branches.

Biggest hurdle in my Dev career?
To be as good an architect as the developer I am.
Challenges: You'll have to convince fellow architects, business clients, junior developers, mid level developers. Some understands UML, some only wants POC, some wants to see code, some just wants a PowerPoint deck, and some just wants to see the cost benefits only.

I'm not a scrum person, rather more of a kanban person.

For fucking 8 hours, I'm not able to get the text on a div that populates after a ajax on a SPA.... Fuck fuck fuck

College Graduate joins the team, assigned the first jira story.
Perfect logic, variable naming can be improved, but I can let that go, since the logic was good.

Rejected the implementation in fisheye because she used
if()
{
//
}
Instead of
if(){
//
}

What's wrong with me...

Worst Manager/Higher Up? I guess that would be me. There was this time I was so frustrated with my team, that I literally asked them to make a list of words they want to curse me with, cause we won't be going home till the work is done the right way.

I swear I'm going to kill someone if I ever see another "create REST API with Express in 10 minutes" tutorial.

If you come up with a great idea in a meeting to solve a problem, be prepared to implement it alone.

How coding has impacted my life? Well to begin with, it gave me backache, shoulder pain, almost a repeatative stress injury on my forearms, and a bad sitting postur.

Devs don't understand "vicious circle". Please use "infinite recursion".

Got a text from the bank that my salary is credited in my account on my way to work.

Can I turn around and head back home now?

I'd bring back ActionScript 3, make sure it is supported in all environments including iPhones, make swf files lighter in size, make adobe air a popular platform, basically I'd do everything to bring back AS3, even make it open sourced, so that Adobe doesn't make all the money.

Whenever I clone a github repo, the first thing I do is to format the code from tabs to spaces.

Tried not to do it, but the itch is unbearable.

Bored of development. Want to move to infrastructure. Want to play with devops.
