Client: Once this app hits the market I'll give each of you $500!
Us: *screams of surprise*
Client: Hong kong Dollars
Us:.....

Better than nothing amirite? :p

During a meeting with the client

Client: I don't care how long it takes to complete the app, I want the app to be polished and give the users the best experience!
Us: Got it.
*Later that day*
Client: *wants to implement a new feature in the app*
Us: It'll take us a day or two.
Client: That long?! I need to get it to the market ASAP!
Us:.......

:D

Got this from Robert Martin's book: Clean Code(not my work).... I am guilty of the one on the right

This is my classmate's team name

No copyright infringement intended

Repost: This is one of the worst security questions I have ever seen

My classmate forgot to lock his laptop when he went out to eat lunch. Needless to say, may other classmates raided his search history and came home with the spoils of war.... a good laugh about 'girl pool slide hurt' I dunno what's happening now

A while a go in class we were told to look at this article about poor to stupid security... and my brain melted

Repost: I like how a lot of code has the word 'forgive me' in it... Oh forgive me angular gods

I sort of panicked when typing out my mail to avail of the free stickers. I forgot to put my full name. welp

But they still replied! XD DevRant is awesome!!!

So remember when I said I had a member in thesis who's sort of the 'connections' guy? And this guy doesn't show up most of the time because he's 'busy'?

Well it turns out he becane editor-in-chief of the school's yearbook!!! I mean I don't mind him doing his thing but why now?!?! Dude set your priorities straight! Do you wanna finish this thesis and graduate or proofread/edit every yearbook entry you get?!

Well we told our advisor about this and he said: 'So he's basically a parasite?' and we just laughed outlr heads off. We'll see what tomorrow brings us.

Attending a talk about innovation now

We have an inside joke in our class cause our teacher keeps on coughing... like some kind of illness i guess? Well we always made fun of him when he's not around... but now we're all coughing cause we're all sick and probably have the flu. Not cool man

I've steered clear from react cause I thought it was complicated to learn... but it turns out it was simpler than expected. The dev environment is a mess though...

Hell yeah React!

When your product owner/team leader prioritizes extracurricular activities over your thesis...... You trying to take us down with you?!!?!?!?!

Javascript seems to be eating the world

Anyone here using couchdb? Any thoughts about it? Advice? Practical uses? Any comment is very much welcome :)

feathersjs > expressjs
I now appreciate stuff that just aren't bare bones

A coversation with a classmate:
(We embraced Node and Javascript but he had no interest at all)

Me: So what tech stack do we use for this project?
Him: You guys decide... I'm fine with anything.
Me: So you're fine with any tech we use? No opinions?
(We need confirmation from all members but he, being the uninterested person he was, gave half-hearted replies)
Him: I'm actually a ROR person, not interested in node.
Us: ....

Dude we understand that you prefer ruby but at least help us decide! We studied all of this together... sheesh

Try reading the documentations for once instead of asking me all the time

A group without initiative is just the worst....

I need to finish our thesis before the semester ends so that I can proceed to my OJT but get this, WE HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED ON OUR CHAPTER 1. I keep on telling then to meet up about this but they have other 'priorities'

I just hate it when a classmate just waits for you to do the work first so that they can copy it.

This recent project we had was a pretty good example. Most of them didn't know what to do while I on the other hand actually READ the documents for the technology we were using so it gave me sort of a head start. They eventually asked me to do one part of their work first so that they can copy off of what I did and I mean EVERYTHING. A pure copy paste of my code while only changing the variable names. Genius

Javascript fatigue is real

I had a dream where I was a cat.... and I was programming.... with paws...

I really like it when I work at home cus I know it's very productive.

I'd be working for 30 mins then I tell myself to take a break...
I scroll through facebook then I'm reminded of reddit... and then google plus.. and then podcasts.. and then youtube videos... then I proceed to discover the far reaches of the internet.............. OH NO

That awkward situation when an instructor looks over your shoulder while you code

Instructor: *breathes over my shoulder*
Me:*slows down coding and eventually stops*
Instructor: ...
Me: ...
Instructor: ...Is something the matter?
Me: *screams internally*

I respect the teacher but having him do that is not good for my heart :/

Jus the other day I was sitting next to my classmate while he was coding. Let's call him 'curls'. Another classmate proceeded to talk to us about the laptop of my classmate who was coding. Let's call him 'shorts'.

We eventually talked about warranties and all that stuff until I saw a few ants on his laptop. I informed shorts about the situation and he told us it was normal....... We then asked what he meant by that.

Turns out ants started living in his laptop since who knows when and when shorts brought up his cellphone's flashlight to curls's exhaust fan we were horrified to see tons of ants and white stuff!

Curls laughed it off and said when he puts food beside the laptop while working the ants come out to get the food.... i dunno what to say anymore

I cringe everytime I see improperly formatted code -_-

Me: *sees no spaces between function blocks so I format it myself*
Classmate: *Happily types code with no spaces between lines or comments and overwrites what I did*
Me: Seriously?!

If only this happened in real life

I was gonna read up about webpack 2 but when I blinked my eyes it became webpack 3 :/

I like how I transitioned from learning Java to Javascript because I thought they were related in sone way.

When my teacher first introduced Javascript, he told us this is NOT your grandfather's javascript. Next thing he told us was 'What is this?' My seatmate and I looked at each other perplexed. My teacher once again said 'What IS this?'. It turns out we needed to first learn about the context of 'this' -_-

That moment when you discover Java was a lie o_o
