Hacked 🤣😭😭😭😭

GitLab is ❤️

Today was the best day of my life. Being a jack of all trades, that I am, I decided to migrate a client's website to an new shiny self-managed server from a shared host. So I started by setting up a web server and deployment being run from a group bash scripts. This morning everything was ready to go after some testing, all that was left to do, was to update my DNS to point to the new server. I got that sorted, the DNS update took about 1 hour to propagate. So the homepage was loading just like before, it felt like I had just achieved something worthy of a mention on the interwebs — at least. Then I tried to navigate to another page other than the homepage and none of those were working as expected, at this point I was only getting 404s. Tweaked to settings and then all I could get were 502s. I spend about 8 hours dreading that uncomfortable call from the client, luckily that call never came through and all is well again. All this drama was caused by a bad .htaccess.

I was in a meeting yesterday where a junior dev was pitching an idea for a mobile game. He starts explaining the rules of the game. Here's what he said "Each Players starts off with 5 BALLS 🏀 and when 1 players ball is hit said player loses 1 BALL…" His presentation was excessively laced with mentions of BALLS.

PS: Never pitch a BALLS idea unless you've got BALLS.

ADHD, coupled with the internet

I've been training a few junior devs for about a month in the use git and adopting to a collaborative team workflow. My blood is boiling at this point. As part of the training we had the junior team build an iOS app. Their solution was for each of the to have a git repo of their own and a master repo for everyone. If they can get it to work in their individual repos, they would move that code over to the master repo. This seemed to have worked for them but it's completely wrong in trying to understand how integrating their work by the hour or so would benefit everyone involved and ultimately how that can influence the quality of the product. So I highlighted the problem with the individual repos and encouraged the use of a single remote repo. OOP is none existent all the code is slapped into a view controller. I have about given up. Let's see what this week will bring.

Got this on quora.

This is cute. Thank you @dfox and @trogus

Toshiba knows very little about refactoring.

The most annoying thing about hub.docker.com is their search is crappy/buggy. Drives my Blood Pressure through the roof. I'm about to blow a fuse!

I don't know about y'all but I'm going to make another node module this weekend. The world needs another one of those. 😛

My cable art, keeping it minimal. Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.

This is gold. This developer has a bold captcha solution.

I read a lot and put a lot of focus on self-improvement. You can't know what you don't know.

Don't push to production on a Friday afternoon.

@dfox @trogus Thanks for update. This is refreshing.

So I went to an ATM hoping to withdraw some money, I was greeted by this instead. It says "to begin, type in the search box" in an IE window.

Anybody using scrum in the real world? The good, the bad, the ugly?

@dfox @trogus Thanks for the update. Can you look at adding the ability to view images in Landscape mode? That might allow one to view finer details especially on a small phone. The ability to zoom in could also be a bonus.

Best: Hiring and Training Interns
Worst: Working for a neurotic client who later cancelled project.

I would like to supercharge my workflow this year. I want to setup a slack team for our clients in order to help track task progress better. I would like to integrate slack with Trello in order to use boards. I would also like to integrate an email bot that clients can forward todo emails to and then convert these to Trello Todos. I know how to integrate bots but how can I convert emails from the email bot to Trello todos? Do I need to create a bot of my own for that?

I need a proper mousepad that is affordable, soft and possibly washable. I have been able to find a good one around my way. Any advice???

Bring Word Art into the 21st century. Most of early computer training hinged on the use of Word Art.

Anybody working on fastlane around here?

I remember reading a book on HTML. I also remember reading about how to implement the towers of Hanoi, which I never attempted to this date. For a most of the time while I was learning I didn't have a computer, so I would still up in a friends room banging away at the keys. I have, however, implemented a lot of algorithms to date. I had to sit up countless nights trying to debug programs, I still do. I think programming is a life long learning situation. There are no off days. I have had situations where all I needed to do was add a missing colon or so. Greatest lesson learned know your syntax, APIs, frameworks etc. And above all follow best practices and move with the times.

I'm looking for an affordable but highly available SMS Gateway with an API. Any ideas?
