I need to add new feature into the program which I wrote years ago so I start digging up the source code. The project is written in a language which I no longer code in.

That code is really poorly written with most of them don't have tests. I also find out that previous self is really a genius since he can keep track of huge project with almost no documentation.

To make matter worst, there are unused components (class,feature) in the source code. "Current me" have a policy of "just adding only a feature you need and remove unused feature" but it seem the "previous me" don't agree with the "current me".

The previous me also have the habit of using writing insane logic. I can remember what particular class and methods is doing but I can't figure out the details.

For example one method only have 5 line of code but it is very hard to figure out what those do.

The saving grace is that he know the important for method signature and using immutable data structure everywhere.

I was under the influence of caffeine and have a constant sleep deprivation at the time (only sleeping about 4 hour every day) so I can't blame him too hard.

I can't blame him too hard, right?

Could someone invent a time machine already? Invent time machine not to save the world but to save the developers from himself.

bye IE/edge...

When you design something and it becomes something else but you're too lazy to re-design it.

Lead engineer: "Well, uh... I haven't really prepared a test for you but the HR insists that I should test you before wrapping up this interview.. so uh.... what do you suggest we should do now?"

Me: "Um... how about we walk through my latest project code and you can ask me to optimize it?"

Lead engineer: "Sounds cool, allright let's do that. How much time do you need?"

Welp. Did I just pick my own interview question?

I had a problem with my code, it doesn't compile. Then my teacher came and clicked on the Debug-Button. In this moment Windows crashed in a Bluescreen.

Haha.....😂😂👍

Got hacked in a day after deploying my first site. 😑 I just started developing. Well, I am thankful for that person to point it out to me otherwise I wouldn't have known.

Fucking react programmers

That feeling when you could not solve a Problem for hours and it almost drives you crazy. Then the next day you look at it again and almost solve it instantly

Most progress/loading bars are fake.

Had a former customer call a few (10) years ago, furious that we shut down their website.

Me: but you moved your website to another provider 2 years ago? We dont even provide webhosting any more?

Turns out, when they moved we put a redirect to their new site on our server.

During the summer this server was decommisoned due to a failing harddrive but since we no longer had any active customers on it we just pulled the plug.

The customer had never actually redirected their domain name. :)

When we sent them a copy of their own cancellation letter we got an "oh hell, sorry".

:D

Like it?

This happens everyday

> 5 minutes goes by
> Puts phone down
> Goes back to computer
> What the fuck am I forgetting....

I have to google like almost every styling

Debugging the code be like...
