Dev frnds in the real life...

Haha....But I think the opposite is true as in when my "normal" friends see me spend lots of time on devRant and take my phone to see what's very interesting on devRant but they can't understand lots of the rants and memes.

Calling it done when it really isn't.

Damn Dijkstra!

Wikihow is wrong.
I need my sustenance.
How else am i suppose to make code.

How software is managed...

*Installs SourceTree*
*Tries to use SourceTree*
*Opens terminal*
*Uninstalls SourceTree*

If you like purely electronic music, try drum'n'bass, more specifically neuro(-funk). Believe it or not, it really boosts productivity.
I can recommend:

For getting used to it: Noisia, Teddy Killerz, Neonlight, Zombie Cats

When you are used to it: Current Value, Pythius, Hydra, Jade, Machine Code

When you need the next level:
Billain

Generally good labels: Eatbrain, Blackout Music, Terminal, Bad Taste Recordings, Invisible Recordings

Sad to make my first post here a depressing one, but I really hope that some of you have some tips to help in this line of work.

If anyone of you suffer from depression, how do you cope with it? How do you keep yourself motivated and don't start this self-loathing that I'm currently in? Other than antidepressants or therapy (already have meds).

Why I'm asking is because I have a very tough time getting motivated these days and right now I really need to be most active. I need to do a lot of small and big stuff at my work and at the same time try to graduate from school. The deadline for my thesis is at the start of May, which surely seems far away now, but it does not feel like enough.

The more I understand the systems that I'm working with, the more I can see how much I may have f*cked everything up and I build this never-ending list of tasks for myself in my head to try and fix everything. Which leads to a complete lockup with anxiety and I can't get anything done.

I don't believe in myself or my code anymore. I'm afraid of pushing anything to production. I also don't have anyone else to help me with my work, as I'm the only developer in the company (we have a service provider where most of the big stuff happens).

To add to all this, I have been sick for the last 4 days.

I truly am in a bad place right now.

CLASSIC: when there is a big emergency at the office everyone is going crazy and looking for you even under the rocks and you show up at the office 😎😏

rubber ducking your hobby...

I kid you not, one of my designer friends dipped his toes into coding, he ran into a problem...

Wondered why the following function wasn't returning a random number...

public Int getRandomNumber(){
return 4;
}
