Pro tip: If you are a junior, or senior but new at the company, don't start your conversations with:

"We're doing X wrong. At my previous company we did / at school I learned /in this book I read / according to this talk I watched, the right way to do X is ..."

Instead try:

"I'm curious why were doing X this way. I'm used to doing it differently."

I love flat-hierarchy teams, and people who think about flaws in procedures and proactively try to improve the tools we use are awesome, but the next kid walking up to me yelling we use git flow "wrong" will be smacked in the face with a keyboard.

If you come to me with curiosity and an open mind, I'll explain, and even return the favor by behaving the same way when I'm baffled by your seemingly retarded implementations.

Maybe we can learn from each other, maybe discover that "how I learned it" is sometimes good, sometimes bad.

But let's start with some social skills, not kicking off into every debate with a stretched leg and a red face.

This is my social and Dev life ;(

He is going places.

Am I the only one who, on seeing a post/rant on devRant with 49 or 99 or 149 or 199 existing ++... upvotes it to get it to an even number and then reads it?

Very satisfied with my pencil array :)

That's not AI.

Whenever the PM is pushing us to work "extra hard" on projects I usually drop this in the company slack channel 😁

This is my motivation.

This little guy arrived in the mail over the weekend. Now he'll be sitting at my desk at work.

Just published my first composer package :) It's no big deal most likely but had to let go my excitement somewhere...

It's a package to jumpstart PHP projects wanting to use Gitlab CI by adding some defaults, and adding automated on commit formatting checks.

Main reason I created it, is because i was tired of doing the same config over and over again for my projects...

Anyhow if anyone were to be interested, here it is => https://packagist.org/packages/...

Oh and by the way, yes, it's PHP, and yes I actually do like working with it :)

Bit of a joke, bit of an actual question. But who here, if you had the money to do it, would buy an offshore oil rig to repurpose and rebuild into a nation of their own? (i.e. MGSV)

One of these is full of shit.

My girlfriend is on phone, now over 3 hours complaining something about her friend, she doesn't suspect she is talking to my Google Assistant. Looks like my Google Assistant is doing pretty good.

"Mm-hmm."

Myth debunked. This explains the history of Apple computers.

I swear that some people in StackOverflow are there just to downvote others...

People and social media are like ants and old food.

I fucking hate ants and I hate old food.

"Work for me", client said, "I won't pay you but you will get some reputations for working with us" he added.

"Sorry, my body can't digest reputation", I replied.
