Someone on the IP 127.0.0.1 has been creating a lot of bugs in my code, please beware of you notice any connections from that address.

Github stats:

coworker 1: 3,535k ++ 987k --
coworker 2: 1,563k ++ 735k --
etc.
me: 453k ++ 7,848k --

I guess this confirms my job at the company as "Backend Crap Remover".

I've been doing wrong these last year, so I decided to step up my game, implementing on my work cycle:

+ Testing
+ CI

It feels fucking great. If you're not doing it, it's time.

Funny SSID names?

Things I hate about Microsoft (Part 1):

Windows: Does things I don't want it to do. Is not user friendly. It is just user familiar.

Outlook / Hotmail: Drops emails silently, which are RFC conform and pass every other mail service. No error messages or notifications.

Edge: Does not / Partially support(s) some modern standards.

IE: No explanation needed.

Design language: border-radius: 0 !important

Business model: Let's make our own hardware, so we can compete with our hardware partners (HP, Dell, ...). Isn't that a perfect idea.

Tracking: Let's track everything of our users. Even how many photos they open in our OS*. What they get from that? Well they could get personalised ads on Bing. Isn't that a perfect model.

That time when I was wrong, the client was wrong, but my algorithm was right.

I'm proud of you son

What were you doing?

I don't know a lot of people in other market segments who have zero fear of losing their job. Since I discovered that my coding skills are marketable, I have not lost a night of sleep over job security.

I'm very happy with my current job, but the privilege of rarely having to feel uncertain about income is incredibly liberating.

I have started thinking algorithmically..

Remember the days when 8GB of ram was more than enough? Hahahah...hah.

I'm officially a supporter. Feels good!

The struggle is real..

Sigh, Microsoft we need to talk...

oh god

Always use SELECT-query with the same conditions before you DELETE/UPDATE in a production database.

This is a small project, I don't need to use git on it...

ALWAYS use VCS.

Google in my brain and Linux in my heart!

**noob alert**
Hi all, I'm new to this community. I found it out couple of days back while downloading some apps on play store. And I don't know how much time have I spent here since then... Damm, I've an interview after 2 days.

My query is, I am stuck/confused. I have so many ToDos. ToDos to learn new things, from UI to other langs to machine learning to database to etc etc. And I keep on postponing it because I can't decide which way to go first. There is so much fuzz about BigData/AI which sounds cool. Sometimes I want to build UI for my imaginary idea, then somebody says a man must learn linux and DB. Top of that I'm preparing for interviews, so I think I should get a job first and then start learning. But when I get a job, I get *busy* with job. It feels like Captain America, all he does is official work. I sometimes feel like trying open source coding, but quit the idea because I get scared or overwhelmed by imagining the big community behind it and I won't be able to make a difference or I might get bashed by others as I get bashed in StackOverFlow :-(
I'm unable to get help from friends/family/colleagues, not because they are bad. It's just they don't get it. People think just because you have a job which pays the bills and save money, everything is fine because there are lots of people who dream to get a job, so be thankful for what you have. I'm thankful... But it's not helping. I really want to do things more than what my job asks me to. The kid inside me is awake since I became adult.

Have you been in this condition or is it just me? Or is it too confusing? Could you please help me out. Thanks a lot. Sorry for serious post. I'm a java programmer by the way.

Friend: Man you're a programmer why aren't you a billionaire already like the others??

Me: It's not that easy believe me.

Friend: I have a great idea for an app something like facebook...can be that hard?

Me: :/

Friend: you could do that instead of your no pay opensource shit...

Me: FUCK YOU AND YOUR STUPID BULLLLLSHIT GO FUCKING DIE YOU PIECE OF SHIT !!!! YOU HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE ..STUPID SON OF A BITCH.

I sometimes write code by first putting comments and then writing the code.
Example
#fetch data
#apply optimization
#send data back to server
Then i put the code in-between the comments so that i can understand the flow.
Anyone else has this habit?

I absolutely hate when people name local variables something like temp or tmp. I was working on a project with a guy who did this with almost every local variable and it was really confusing to have like 7 variables with the same name in the same class.

Please use informative names!

That moment when you struggle and write an amazing backend logic and your manager only looks at the frontend/UI and tells you it is okay. The struggle doubles when you try and explain him the backend logic and he just ignores you...what a day!!(No offense to amazing frontend developers out there)

‘The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.

Salute to this guy.... 😍 👍

In an age of GitHub and cloud computing, how can a freelance dev using their own laptop be classed as a security risk?

These crude rules laid down by corporate IT depts just make companies look silly.

Boss: "JS, Java, Objective-C all have Class, so they have the same convention"

yeah both you and shit have weight

The deadline is tomorrow and we should work for extra hours to make it through! Oh look, a video about roman army structure!

I'm so excited about something(can't tell you guys yet) but can't talk about it at work. And now I lost all my focus
