Was asked to look at another teams repo to see how they use Cassandra. In that repo, I found a function that creates a map[int]bool populated with a handful of numbers all with true as the value. The function then checks the existence of an int in that map and return a true if it exists.

My biggest regret was using string builder to build html responses

Have a white board above my desk, decided to make use of it.

Typed "git" instead of "get" twice this morning

Google Maps put me on the other side of the freeway, so rushing to get there I was stopped by a security guard who told me to slow down and directed me to a spot. I hit the car next to me, I then interviewed and exchanged insurance information with the other car's owner. I went to school to defend my capstone and got the offer. A year later I sat next to the guy whose car I hit.

Interviewed with Amazon, panicked and ended the interview apologizing for wasting the guy's time on a simple binary search question.

Recruiter called me yesterday about applying for job that I already applied for through her. I don't feel special.

Package management in Go

Boss uses symlinks for packages in go. He checked in changes for several services and then left for vacations.

Took a Visual Basic class in high school. Ended up being the teacher aide two years later while she was away recovering from surgery.

OpenText's FirstClass. Bottom of the barrel email client.

Ask a client to populate Dev and QA environments with Prod data. They also populated prod with the data two more times.

They had a meeting without me for a production release that was happening tomorrow. Rescheduled the release on my wife's birthday without asking anyone. This was the response when I let this known "Happy Birthday honey, you get a night without me."

Spent more time than I am willing to admit debugging a Windows service, had a space between the ; and the next path on the %PATH% environmental variable. Powershell called the executable with no problem.

Ask for the dev server to work on an issue, no one says anything about people having a working session in a few minutes that needs to have what I am working on up and running after saying I could have it.

My boss yelled at me Monday for brining up that no one in the office is a fan of Jira.

He yelled and gave 4 rules.
1. Task Numbers
2. Multiple Project Overview
3. Integrates with Github
4. No one bitches

I spent the day uploading data from Jira into clubhouse

Recruiter left his firm to start his own, so he tried to set me up with my current company but I turned it down because it was 6k less than where I was. I would have accepted 3k less, but ended the process. A few months later, the recruiter was out of the picture and the director invited me to lunch. The recruiter was dating the owners daughter, never went back to them with my counter.

Me: I will add something to the email.
Other Dev: Eat a bag of dicks?
Me: No this is going to a client, so eat a bag of penises or male genitalia.
