A compromise might be in order. You can talk to your wife and try to block out personal time throughout the week. She can give you 4 hours of alone time on a Wednesday afternoon where she takes care of the kids, and you reciprocate on another day. 4 hours of completely uninterrupted time barring emergencies. This boundary must be maintained for it to work.

Shift the mentality of “who has it worse?” to “how can we work as a team to make our lives a little easier?”.

They’re just trying to protect you from automating yourself out of the job /s

Don’t forget to disable MFA first

@Oktokolo It depends. If you’re working on native app development you will need XCode, which can only be installed on Mac OSX. But other apps can be made in cross-platform software that generates an XCode project as a build output, such as Unity. In the end though, you will need a Mac with a developer license in order to publish the app or to test it natively on a real iPhone.

As a grown man I still chuckle every time I use this keyword

Pretend my job takes 3x more effort than it actually does. Work on hobby projects with the saved time.

This is what happens when a company tries to make a product “powerful”, “quiet” and “thin”.

Pick 2 Apple.

I wonder what percentage of commenters fall into the category of “should not have learned to code”.

Soooooo you hiring?

Can’t you finish your thought before posting? Why reply to yourself 10 times with DLC comments?

@Voxera I’ll definitely admit that standup is more relevant to teams utilizing multiple disciplines. The communication is necessary in that regard. But if I’m a dev working in my own system without dependencies, working on mostly under-the-hood changes, I don’t feel like it’s necessary for me to show up. I hate having to stop what I’m doing in the morning just to say I’m doing the same thing as yesterday and go back to my desk.

I’m just whining really, this is DevRant after all

You may want to check her browser search history. She needs to be aware of the dangers of learning Java.

@phoooooebe Brings new meaning to “cracking open a cold one with the boys”

And yes, it’s quite refreshing!

The patent system is corrupt and doesn’t help smaller businesses when mega corps steal their ideas. Smaller businesses do not have the capital to take them on legally. Mega corporations also have the funding to flood the market with advertising to kill off the original competitor even if they weren’t first to market. Just look at candy crush. The idea was stolen from an existing game. The guy who made it got a settlement out of it, but it was still theft.

Sounds about right. Hardly any college is going to teach the basics or debugging or git. But they’ll throw you into the deep end of endless theory lectures.

Especially when they still have a botched excuse for a settings application. Nine times out of ten I end up just opening control panel to make changes. Why release a half-assed program and confuse your user base? Just release it when it can wholly replace the former.

Started a new job last year and definitely not busting my ass as hard as I used to. My old job taught me I wouldn’t be respected and my responsibility would exponentially increase without pay.

After the Texas blackouts I think the world is starting to learn how much of our infrastructure is plagued by a single point of failure. The internet included, which is kind of ironic really.
