In a similar position to you. I think it just comes down to the language you use. If you say something like: I would like to propose the following standards to improve our software quality and here are the reasons why/what this would achieve. Then it means the same thing as some people here don't have a clue what they're doing and create technical debt but comes across much more positively. Good luck with whatever you decide to do

@Devnergy no paid OT. Just us panicking, stressed 9-5 keyboard punishing code monkeys!

@RiderExMachina thanks man. It is worth it. Today we were able to have much more realistic and positive conversation about our approaches to new projects as a result of screaming for a new approach, but would be nice if just occasionally someone else took the shouty role! Or people just listened the first time. Even better! =)

0 warnings? Pah. Photoshopped

I had both my fingers crossed for a deployment 2 days ago and adrenaline rush was real. Have since spent most of last 2 days with little sleep migrating from a pot luck chance of a build and working site in production after a deployment to clean build working everytime. Adrenaline junkie I ain't.

Hopefully that made more sense. Very sleep deprived today!

So I have a backlog in Jira with a whole bunch of existing bugs in production which I am being asked to provide estimates for and to plan a sprint with these estimates. Is it common practice to work on production issues in sprints? If so how do you estimate a bug without finding the cause of it which is most of the effort required to fix it?

So much this. To the cold guy: wear a fucking jumper

This needs to go in an essential guide to project management in software development

Used Kafka and Zookeeper running in Docker containers in swarm mode; publicly available on Docker registry, and they worked out of the box. Really good for prototyping

@magicMirror yeah I'm working on it. Trouble is I've ended up with the responsibility of maintaining environments without any training or authority to optimise/automate the process

@hube true enough! But the second 100% is put of work hours and is my hobby!

Wait. What are you saying here... all the world's problems CAN'T be solved by C#?

10/10 would get StAAS from Amazon. 100% uptime

Hanselman is great. His show is featured among a whole bunch of .net focussed podcasts here http://thesoundof.net Great site. Listen to these for my comute. Would heartedly recommend Coding Blocks. Funny guys with some great insights and discussion on a range of topics

Tough lesson to learn. But well handled and good for you!

Gotta say, huge fan of "son of a motherfucker". Isn't that how the son was born in the first place? Most logical swearing ever =)

Where's the BitBucket love?

@heyheni yeah I thought so. To be honest, haven't had the time to look at any of them, but did catch a Dot Net Rocks podcast interview with the creator (http://thesoundof.net/shows/...). Sounds like a great tool for new developers.

Learn Docker, in Docker. Dockerception

Relate to this so much but with Dota 2

Follow follow follow following the yellow brick road.... of failure

I'm in the process of trying to roll out a custom VM image on Azure. Holy fuck. The documentation is confusing, all over the place and missing the most important steps.

Actual Azure Doc quote:
"To do this you will need to setup a reverse proxy moon connection with extra flump.

Now you've done that...."

Wait what, how was I supposed to do the made up thing?

Redis Cluster is awesome. After using SQL databases for years, just recently started playing with a persistent Redis store in my free time. I'm blown away by the performance

Missed a trick there. Should've been GoodBoyK9

What did this post have to do with "dev things" ;)
