I think the best thing about this is that I just found the code below that a coworker wrote. I'm glad to know someone else out there knows my pain.

var checked = "0";
if(function_name == "call_history")
{
if(document.getElementById("report").checked)
{
checked = "1";
}
}

If they're like one of my coworkers who does something similar, their head must be too far up their ass to read the commit message.

@linux-colonel I wish I could but sadly his ego and management considers him to be a "senior" level developer. Did I also mention this is his first programming gig?

@linux-colonel that's the bigger wtf. Scp. So, there's no way to tell what version is in production on each server.

@filthyranter @thiagoavadore oh I'd love to but the boss thinks he's the best ever, and the employee thinks he's adding worth to his name. But, the worried look on his face was priceless when his laptop got soaked in a rainstorm while he was on his motorcycle, and he couldnt mount the hard drive to recover his data. In the end he was able to recover everything, but he still didn't learn his lesson about version control and backups.

@ChappIO Sweet! I'll take a look. Thanks for the tip.

I've been a long time user of emacs but I have really enjoyed IntelliJ and Atom here lately. My only frustration with IntelliJ is that I can't have multiple projects open at the same time in the same window.

@rookiemaverick My app goes into production in a couple of weeks. I will be deploying around five containerized applications and using Ansible to roll out updated containers later on.

I love that I can take my application and all of its dependencies and make it easily deployable while leaving my base system minimum.

That's awesome! I got started the same way but with macros in access, haha.

I've experienced several and usually just keep going and the excitement comes back. I do slow down some and take more time off during a burnout though.

Very nice!

@EpIcInCoGnItO finally someone recognizes that! lol

Either in my office with the lights off, headphones in and my feet on my desk or on my back patio while enjoying one of my favorite cigars.

@binarydigit good luck!

@henry700 usually I'm the same way but my past year has been deadline after deadline in-between escalated issues and bug fixes. Luckily my project will be done in a month or so and will hopefully calm down afterwards.

I'm a centos user as well! I used Gentoo for a long time but got tired of managing use flags.

I know the feeling. I had something similar happen to me about a year ago. I went through about 4-5 interviews with all going very well. I finished the last one and was told to expect an offer. I didn't hear anything. After about a week later the company announced they were in the middle of a large merger so everything was on hold, and I somehow got lost in the shuffle.

@1geek0 lol nice

@ds1239 btw, thanks for that info. Pretty cool!

@ds1239 Yeah, I figured that when I saw your reply but I still had to go look it up. Even then my OCDs say to use the boolean so I can look at it and know how to interact with it, haha.

@tomcentrate no, he set it as character varying but treats it as a boolean in his code. My best guess as to why is because the pgdb driver for php returns booleans as a string of "t" or "f".

@angryJavaDev Exactly! What's funny about this guy, he's been at this gig for three years, and it's his first job as a developer.
