You have to understand why the bug exists before fixing it. Covering it up hides the symptoms -- IT DOESN'T FIX THE BUG.

Constantly torn between editing live and taking the time to edit in dev, then push live.
fast/risky or slow/safe
I'll take the red pill please.3 -
Trying to explain to your S/O why a particular snippet of code is so fucking sexy and exciting -- then you get the "WTF are you talking about? 😐"5

Sometimes I get distracted because of a very technical joke that I don't get initially, but am determined to understand.
4,000 Wikipedia articles later, I understand the joke and now know the history of the pushpin (or some other off the rails object) -
What was your moment of realization that you picked the right profession?
I didn't grow up building computers or loving code... I was a lazy piece of shit until I hit college when I finally got my act together (a late start, if you will).
My moment of realization happened when I was asked to rewrite an old C program to blacklist IPs of "hacked" emails based on email logs. I was the only one in the office who could read C, so it was kind of a spotlight moment for me lol. Anyways, the script I wrote to replace it turned out to catch more cases than the original script. We kicked it back to our email filtering service since they allowed us access to the source code and they were impressed. That was my moment for knowing I'm I'm the right industry 🙃4 -
I spend so much time debugging because the previous developer has empty catch blocks everywhere in the code base.

Java for me ☕22 -
The sounds coming from the support department remind me of a bunch of high schoolers:
Crying, Yelling, and Bitching about everything under the sun.
If you hate your job so much, GTFO 🤔5 -
Talking cool app ideas with your fellow devs at work instead of actually working because your work is done ✔

My desk is organized for me. I know where everything is. You don't need to understand my desk because you don't sit at it for 8 hours a day.3

"I am a fucking idiot"
These words ring loud when I'm stuck on a bug and the fix is so simple that I can't help but hate myself lol 😅3
