"I forgot the WHERE clause in my update query"

If you ever feel useless, remember there is a protection case for the Nokia 3310

My employer has this really cool thing. Where if I do my job very well, I get to do other peoples jobs too!

You know you're not going to have fun when you get assigned to a project which required to install this software...

My progress in CSS

IF LIVES DEPEND ON A SYSTEM

1. Code review, collaboration, and knowledge sharing (each hour of code review saves 33 hours of maintenance)

2. TDD (40% — 80% reduction in production bug density)

3. Daily continuous integration (large code merges are a major source of bugs)

4. Minimize developer interruptions (an interrupted task takes twice as long and contains twice as many defects)

5. Linting (catches many typo and undefined variable bugs that static types could catch, as well as a host of stylistic issues that correlate with bug creation, such as accidentally assigning when you meant to compare)

6. Reduce complexity & improve modularity  -- complex code is harder to understand, test, and maintain

I guess I was a bit off.

This Christmas, I hereby call for a total and complete shutdown of new css/js frameworks until we can figure out what the hell is going on.

Who will be coding on Christmas ?

Nested .container divs for days.

Progress in development means: "there must be an easier way to do this"

General advice: If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.

So Microsoft released visual studio for mac, or should i say. Microsoft ripped off Xamarin Studio and changed the logo

There is a hole in the world like a great black pit and it is filled with people who developed Eclipse.

Code review measurement : Wtfs per minute.

Come back from vacation to find that 80+ e-mails were sent out to the entire team for a critical process that was failing to run due to an incorrect password. No one did anything for a week. Fixed it in 30 seconds.

When you mistakenly end a sentence with a semicolon instead of a period;

My coworker, Donnovan, has influenced me the most professionally. Showed me the ropes around HL7 when I had limited coding background. His philosophy of automating as much as possible has been my motto for over a decade, and I make sure I impart that to every new dev I train.

With time, I have come to the realisation that when a person says he knows C++. He's either a noob or god!

Saw this in a tutorial i was watching

* Start maintaining/upgrading new project at work
* Read book on best practices for the framework
* quickly realise all the "don't do this" parts of the examples in the book is EXACTLY how everything in the project is done
* cry self to sleep

For some, Jan 01 1970 was just the first day of a new year. For others, it marked the beginning of time.

God damn it, i said so many times that this functionality is proof of concept and needs more investigation into technical/legal details...why the flugzeug mr account manager have you gone and emailed all your client accounts telling them we are now offering it?... why are you messaging me starting your sentence with "now that we provide..." god...damn...it

not enough jQuery

So how does one become a freelance programmer? I'm thinking of becoming a hobo drifter, but I would like to keep my car.

Can I get an "AMEN"!! 😆
