!rant. When your wife sends you pics of her days work. I've made a few good choices at least.

The transition from developer to manager.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Next time I try to install a server, I should check if the Ethernet cable is not broken.

😐

Everyone nowadays :p

It must be exhausting for people in 2018 to always be on the hunt for something to be outraged or offended about.

My Thursday evening (thanks for the beer!) nerding up on container management

Is java any element of air ? I have seen people posting " I breathe java "

So I reach office early , bcz I like to have sun left when I go home.
Other devs arrive almost 3-4 hours after me. And when it's time to leave,
They : you leave so early
Me : yes you ahole. I come early too.

And then they get credits for staying long I'm like yeah if you come at 12-1 you have to stay back.

So fucking frustrating.

Can you tell I’m bored on this cold ass Saturday?

The teacher didn't show up and everybody left, so i did a little painting 😅

Setup?

I feel more productive at night! Who do?

I cannot spell for shit, so my coworker keeps commenting on my pull requests with spelling fixes...

Decided to buy this for him today...

Something seems familiar about this design.... (Found on twitter)

Seriously. My bullshit meter gets fired up quite often while reading tech media headlines.

Everytime I meet the newest interns and dev hires:

I hired a woman for senior quality assurance two weeks ago. Impressive resume, great interview, but I was met with some pseudo-sexist puzzled looks in the dev team.

Meeting today. Boss: "Why is the database cluster not working properly?"

Team devs: "We've tried diagnosing the problem, but we can't really find it. It keeps being under high load."

New QA: "It might have something to do with the way you developers write queries".

She pulls up a bunch of code examples with dozens of joins and orderings on unindexed columns, explains that you shouldn't call queries from within looping constructs, that it's smart to limit the data with constraints and aggregations, hints at where to actually place indexes, how not to drag the whole DB to the frontend and process it in VueJS, etc...

New QA: "I've already put the tasks for refactoring the queries in Asana"

I'm grinning, because finally... finally I'm not alone in my crusade anymore.

Boss: "Yeah but that's just that code quality nonsense Bittersweet always keeps nagging about. Why is the database not working? Can't we just add more thingies to the cluster? That would be easier than rewriting the code, right?"

Dev team: "Yes... yes. We could try a few more of these aws rds db.m4.10xlarge thingies. That will solve it."

QA looks pissed off, stands up: "No. These queries... they touch the database in so many places, and so violently, that it has to go to therapy. That's why it's down. It just can't take the abuse anymore. You could add more little brothers and sisters to the equation, but damn that would be cruel right? Not to mention that therapy isn't exactly cheap!"

Dev team looks annoyed at me. My boss looks even more annoyed at me. "You hired this one?"

I keep grinning, and I nod.

"I might have offered her a permanent contract"

Just saw a microsoft ad saying:

“Six reasons for switching to SQL Server on Linux“

Well done microsoft...

Tech Industry: “We need more developers!”

NewDev: “Hire me”

Tech Industry: “only experienced developers please! We don’t have time to train juniors ”

Older Dev: “Hire me”

Tech Industry: “no, you want too much money and too much time off“

Mid dev: “Hire me”

Tech Industry: “only experienced devs who are a culture fit!”

Robot dev: “Hire me”

Tech Industry: “You are Hired”

This made me laugh hard

Busted

You always need to remind yourself that where you began :)

You suck!
