Well someone messed up.

When you're at a festival but code is life.

When your team uses both scss & less in the same project

The only correct way to write JavaScript is whatever you were not doing last week.

You know it's going to be a bad sprint when sprint planning takes two hours and at the end you've committed to 30% more story points than your estimated capacity.

Customer: I leave in a week and would like to see the site up and running!
Me: 👌🏾

Always

Which way we go?

interviewing a guy earlier on... apparently jQuery is better because it can do things javascript can't

Quote dumbledore: "Soon we all have to choose between what is right and what is easy"

So very true in programming aswell :p

You know you are working with British people when you see $colours instead of $colors 🇬🇧🇺🇸

installing a theme on WordPress apparently makes you a developer

Had a request from a client once, "I'd like that our site supports only IE10 and above. However if the visitor uses older IE version, say IE6, things should look and work the same as IE10".

Client: it's very important that we go live with the app's sign up process.

Me: ...but the mobile apps aren't complete yet.

Client: Yes, but marketing says we need to start getting downloads and sign-ups so we get better ratings than our competitors.

Me: ...but the user won't be able to do anything.

Client: We'll add the rest later when we have users!

"You're a programmer?!"

'this' in JavaScript

Enough said :|

I got called into a "personal development" meeting with the department lead, apparently my vocal and innovative cursing during coding/debugging is disruptive to the entire floor.

When your company doesn't offer free coffee and yet they still can't understand why all their deadlines run late.

I love karma :P

Pro tip: preserve your job by not documenting it.

Well played Google, well played...

About to go live...

There was an atmosphere of elation and joy here at Google, when we got together to author our reply to the latest lawsuit from Oracle.

The Windows 10 Mobile division had just gotten together for after work beer, when they heard the latest sales numbers.

Of course, we believed everything the Oracle salesman told us.

One of the very busy days:

-Lets turn on the pc, got a lot of things to do...
-Well, nevermind...
