Q: How instantaneous are these jobs? *referring to a Jenkins job to upload database from local to an environment

A: Well that depends on your network speed. Here in the middle of nowhere, I have a donkey carries the package up the mountain, so that could take a while.

Does anyone listen to podcast while coding? What’s a good one to listen to and is a good background noise, doesn’t have to be coding related

I developed and have been maintaining an organization website for the past 6 years for free. The organization gave me a full scholarship 15 years ago which opened up so many doors and allows me to finish high school and college without a single cent, and now I’m living comfortably with good job.
My parents wouldn’t be able to afford me the higher education. So I’m very grateful and paying it forward for the future students.

Trying to blow my nostril while having a cold, I could hear my ear canal whistles out air.

I have this interesting client who likes to end the weekly call with a prayer. Once he asked if I wanted to lead the prayer. I said, “No I’m good thanks. You should do it.”

Educate them about context switching and how bad it is for productivity. Also deliver high quality work, at the end you’ll earn their trust and it makes for a much better work environment.

I have a coworker who talks the most during scrum and not saying anything of substance or actionable in that whole time. He answers questions with a sentence paraphrasing the questions putting himself in a third person, waived him of responsibilities, but acknowledging the issue in the asked questions without providing any real solutions, leaving us looking at each other wondering wtf just said. But all knows too well not to ask a follow up questions. Or you gonna be here a while.

Utter waste of my time.

Coworker: are you doing stock trading?
Me: 👌

I don't always talk to myself, but when I do, it's usually when presenting a demo to a client.

All of these dependency management tools supposed to make my life easier?!?! I have been looking for half an hour for how to simply downgrade a package to an older version I must be plain retarded

Just got Echo Dot. Brace yourself for Alexa's jokes posts

!rant First code review in the new team, came back with list of helpful suggestions and constructive criticisms. Yep I'm going to like it here. Excited to be learning from the bests.

Fortune cookie is trying to tell me to enjoy my dinner and step away from work for a little bit.

I used to work at a printing company as their only developer. I was often pulled from doing any development work, and instead would be printing documents, posters and postcards. One time I was printing and developing at the same time for a 12 hr shift. I fucked up over 30 thousand printed pieces of double sided postcards, where the front and back didn't align properly. So it was impossible for the guys to cut them. I left the job about 2 weeks later, and found myself a job that's doing only development, and was working as part of a team of very talented developers. I still have a good relationship going with my past employer though, despite that incident. My supervisors were very nice people.

Use pomello with trello to code with pomodoro technique and keep track of your productivity

I feel like that most +1's are given during the work hours when the devs are twiddling their thumbs or waiting for the codes to compile. So here is a rant testing this hypothesis.

I can get a lot more done working in Starbucks, than from my own desk at work or home. Wonder if anyone else is the same way

From my years at college employment:

A student brought in his personal printer to help desk, complaining that the printer is printing red streaks, when he only has black ink installed.

Opened up the printer, found a packet of ketchup stuck in there.

Few more hours before 4 days weekend. Anyone planning to work on some exciting personal projects?

That moment when you thought you had fixed ONE bug, but ended up creating more.

"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. " After a day like today, I thought my self-esteem would need this quote.

Have been using vim as main IDE for about 2 years now. Decided to give atom a try last weekend. May not be going back now.

Pareto principle for front-end developers. 80% of the development efforts go towards fixing IE bugs, which are only used by 20% of user base.
