How a VB.NET dev Googles:

[Whatever the issue] C#

Why you shouldn't interrupt a software developer

On Friday, in the midst of the craziest disaster cleanup possible for a project, I tell my boss my laptop keeps freezing and is probably going to crash. Saturday 8:30 FedEx rolls up with a new laptop. I'm even more scared now!

that fucked up moment when you create and Android Application in Android Studio for a startup and the CEO of that company asks will it work for iOS also ?... :-/

Just found out the contractor we hired help us with our app is making twice what I make. I guess I should be a contractor right?

Set up a mail server for our office using one of those all-in-one mail server installations. It would keep denying connections every few days, so me, being the inexperienced shit I was, setup a cron job to restart the server at midnight everyday. It worked and still, to this day, it still works.

Best part about my day job. The ending...

When your process (branching and environment configuration etc) takes longer than the actual dev task 🙄 #onelinechange

had an issue where our clients payment gateway would duplicate the charge (at the gateway...not at the application) before sending it to the bank officially - the bank would detect the duplication then void both charges.

the gateway service admitted this was a bug, the bank it was tied to admitted it was a bug - but they wouldnt fix it. so my solution was to send a special uid with the original transaction (put it in a special field) and had the bank track that one as the "known good"

the funny thing? next version of the gateway api included this as a feature, but i got no credit.

I don't work on bugs. Instead I improve the usability of undocumented features.

Bug: Windows
solved: installed Linux

Finding this buried as a joke...

Had a huge bug today. Sobriety. Working on a fix now..

Working till 3:30 am and getting up at 8 am for the next meeting feels so shitty!

What a good commit message looks like

"This should just involve adding one file."

Oh, we all wish it were that easy!
