Found another gem from government's website

Took part in a hackathon.... Made the damn system shine and judges didn't even look at the implementation.
Chose the winner by just the idea! And I was like whaaaat the f***!!!

"Dad, where does the babies come from?"
"Well...err...um...do you have any other questions left?"
"What are you doing as a developer?"
🤔
"Ok...let's talk about babies..."

Client: our app has low ratings, we fired our previous dev company and hiring you instead.
Us: all right, seems like to make a better app we need 5 months.
C: you're kidding, do it in 6 weeks.
U: Ok, but we'll have to drop some features.
C: get rid of X and Y, nobody uses them.
U: deal!

... 6 weeks later...
U: here's the new app: better graphics, easier to use, more stable and more future-proof.
C: Cool! Let's deploy!

... 2 days later...
C: we just released but the users are really pissed off!
U: what do they say?
C: "what the fuck happened with X and Y? they were the only thing we're using! what a load of crap! 1 star"

Dear client, next time get to know better your users...

I'm sorry, why is this a problem again?

I really need two monitors. Mandatory upgrade it seems in our times.

Realized i slack too much because of third monitor that i use for "background" youtube,tv shows, movies. Removed it also forced my self to working by just playing music with headphones and dimmed light.

Settings some goals for each day.
And when i feel i got too distracted do 20 pushups.

⏺ Procrastinating - SoundCloud on shuffle mode.
⏺Concentration lvl - NOOB or repeated work - Something that a mindless zombie could do. I play OneRepublic, Maroon 5, Coldplay, GreenDay, etc.
⏺ Concentration lvl - Serious - AudioMachine, Two Steps from Hell, etc
⏺ Concentration lvl God mode - I require absolute zero silence. You make as much a *sigh* anywhere within 4m radius of me, or I realise of your existence, you would wish you weren't born.

To be honest I have no problem with procrastination. I love programming and there are few things I would rather do.

I curb procrastination by throwing in a random "sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /" to my test cases to see if I have unsafe evals. It's like Russian Roulette every test.

Nights
Far less distractions
Almost dead silence
Only me and my screen

Me seeing all positive things people say about their work in #wk62.

1. Keep your rythm: 7/8 hours of sleep each day and DON'T take your work home. Unless you have your own business ofcourse. Still: don't wear yourself out!

2. Put on music. Me personally like fast punk when i'm struggling with a deadline. Makes you want to go faster.

3. Close ALL communication like chats, mail etc. Hell i even thought of a sign "do not disturb"

4. Coffee. Lot's of coffee

5. Use a time tracking method like pomodoro

Never worked faster and more efficiently than the night before going on vacation... So... Vacation every day.

Simply put your phone in another room. Not in the other end of the room, in another room, specifically.

Listening to rain sound or pleasing sounds while coding helps me think straight and sets a good mood for me to complete a task.Music sets me straight.

No No No

Coffee
Doors and windows: closed
Air conditioner: on
Headphones: on
Music: on
devRant: off

The amount of battery on my phone is inversely proportional to how hard I haven't been working throughout the day. I'll tell you more about this problem once my phone's dead

fuckmywork.

I'm sitting 8hrs/day doing UI / Design with html/css and fucking wordpress.

This is wrong on so many levels

Its been less than a month i joined this awesome community.
Like it was built for guys like me who love to code/develop.
Thanks @dfox and @trogus. !!!

Daily fortune;
Don't tell any big lies today.
Small ones can be just as effective.

Thank you VERY MUCH for wasting my life, ruining my new career and destroying my family. It hasn't been 24 hours from joining devRant and I am already addicted. Checking my phone every 5 minutes or so. Is this some kind of a conspiracy to wipe out weak and liable to procrastination devs? To suck them/me to a big, colorful fluffy garden of instant gratification?
Are you HAPPY!!!???

Sleep time. If anyone else breaks their shit tonight, I'm going to be pissed. 2.5 more hours until my wonderful coworker on the other side of the country takes calls. I can survive this...

I found it rather convinient to take a paperbook and a pen and wirte down the tasks, i have to do maybe with subtasks and add checkboxes.
Then the next day, i mark the tasks i finished and take over the jobs i didn't finish for the next period.
And i take time for writing nicely to make my handwriting more readable.
Therefire i have my slacking(writing nicely), i have my structure by having structured tasks and subtasks and i have my reward in checking the boxes.
Bonus points for getting a feeling, how much i can archieve in one day.

As far as BSODs go, this one looks pretty cool.

Will you PLEASE stop just commenting out code that doesn't work
Delete it
Please

Made me chuckle!
