You write code.
A strange issue prevents you to proceed further.
Try one fix. Fails.
Try another Fix. Fails.

Try fix #28. Fails.
You decide to ask for help in the support forum.
You start writing your post, mentioning everything you've tried so far. You feel your social anxiety and fear the humiliation of being told "because you didn't try X, you idiot". Then you come up with an idea for fix #29.
(fix #29 normally involves Wireshark or similar low-level inspection tool)
Try fix #29. It succeeds :)5 -
I have the house all to myself. Twenty years ago, I'd be throwing a party. Today I look forward to all the uninterrupted coding.9

The client asked for the Vector version of the graphic but refused to pay more.
So I added the jpeg to a new illustrator project and gave him. He thinks he won the bargain.3 -
One of the best feelings is when you're hip deep in code refactoing and you're delezing old code with your new and shiny code.

Is it just me, or is it extremely frustrating that we get so little time for our side projects? I can only manage like 3 hours every night, losing up on sleep.. 😢5

4 week summer vacation over. Did not code any sideprojects and opened laptop only to watch netflix on vacation (Stranger Things ❤️). My liver will be pleased that its over. Tomorrow back to work, hopefully I remember how to code again 😜9

When I was 13 yrs old, I played Counter strike. One day by chance, I went into its program files folder and started looking through the files. There I found a bots.db which I opened on Notepad++. I found out that unlike many other files, it had un-garbled text. So I studied its contents and soon realized that it contained bot profiles. I edited skill levels of some of them and opened the game. To my delight, the bot's skill did change. It was so awesome, I can now complete the missions I was stuck in. That was the moment I had first wanted to go into Software Development field but I only started to code 4 years later.5

I followed a tutorial on modding minecraft, I made a block that got generated into the world. Ohh my god I was hooked when I saw it in the game. Been loving it ever since

Coding essentially is an infinite loop of:
1) wtf
2) ah yea
Add sprinkles of "that should be easy" and "why did i agree on this"6 -
In a way, it's a bit unfair on those in other fields that we get paid so well for doing something we love.4

That moment when you've been trying to fix a bug for hours then suddenly realize you've fixed it hours ago but just didn't clear the cache5

Wrote a python script and debugged in about 3 hours. Script saves a colleague 20 hours per week. #resumeworthy9

Functional Programming literally has 'fun' in the title; OOP is one letter away from 💩. I rest my case.4
