Your UI doesn't render as expected...
You blame RecyclerView...
You blame ConstraintsLayout...
You even blame f**king ImageView...
Turn out the culprit was VectorDrawable...
You try to blame VectorDrawable but your inner self knows that it's your lack of proper knowledge of VectorDrawable....
You feel sad...
You push your code to git and go to sleep.

The cool thing about side projects is you can do whatever you want.

The shitty thing is you never complete whatever you want.

All Terms of Services agreement changes, etc. need to be in GitHub. I don't want to reread the whole thing, where's the diff?

Linux pople be like

I'm pretty active on Github

Man it's midnight and all I want to do is work. 5 hours from now I'll be dragging out of bed to go to work where nothing gets accomplished. In 17 hours when I drag in from work I can do real work for 7 hours before crashing while wishing I could just code through the night. It's an infinite loop and I dont know how to fix it!

who loves java

Original Apollo 11 commander module code wrote in Assembler: https://github.com/chrislgarry/...

Pesky error.

Those designers :-/

Dammed, I got to clean my desk...

You know you're a glass is half empty person when you test the negative case first.

6:00 pm, no spirit to code,
11:00 pm, no spirit to code,
0:00 am, i might sleep in early tonight,
1:00 am, just one function,
2:00 am, I'm A God.

Refactoring

I've been on devRant for an hour since getting in bed.. this can't be a nightly ritual 😐

Every bad recruiter ever...

Hello {name},

I recently came across your CV and {empty compliment}.

Would you be interested in me making 20-40% commission on your yearly salary for doing next to nothing other than make you miserable in 3-6 months time by promising the world and delivering nothing?.

Look forward to making money off you...

{recruiter},
Super Mega Uber Extreme Ltd.

Seriously, fuck bad recruiters...

Can I get an Amen? lol

This is my bottom drawer. That's +150 packets of honey from the cafe downstairs. I've been slowly collecting them since I started working here. I'm leaving soon and thinking about leaving them so the next dev can have a pleasant surprise 😂

When you find a problem you're trying to solve on stack overflow and it has no answers

When you're asked to edit some code you've never written... Feels like Alice in Wonderland... completely lost...

Am I the only person up working at 1:13 am est?

Been hacking frontend for a while, know most of the perks and tricks of css and html, have implemented countless of projects with angularjs, have even created jquery plugins and gulp packages, have won hackatons in UX design.... Still, a SFO company turned me down for a front end dev position cause I could not find the K most frequent words in an array in O(n) time complexity...

Person: So what do you do for a living..
Me: (here we go)... I am an information security analyst working in an incident response team for x company. I do log collection and manage a large scale correlation engine.
Person: Oh, so are you super smart or something? (Blinks her eyes and continues with blank stare)
Me: Uh... Smart enough I guess.
Person: Can you hack things like a hacker.
Me: That really isn't my job...
Person: What's your job again?
Me: Computer guy
(She lights up)
Person: Why didn't you just say that? I can understand that.

Yeah... I seem to have painful conversations like this often.

// FIXME
Never gets fixed.

Day before publish

git or svn? what version control do you guys like best?

I find that no matter what I do I have roughly 50 issues assigned to me in Jira, so there's no point in working hard to clear em out. I'll never get to zero.

I get more work done when I know I'm leaving early than when I'm in the office for a whole day....

When the buggy code made to production

Sometimes it gets physical.
