Always have an agenda!

My reason to use Xamarin... I like Swift but I just don’t want to write my app UI 3 different times.

Dumb ass management. Picked a different technology for us without consulting our technical team...

This burnout shit is real. Time to take some vacation time.

How do you all dress in the workplace? Do you wear a uniform (similar clothes daily) or dress up? I think devs should never have to dress up to work but maybe that is just my weird opinion.

Got my duck today...

It’s not that I can’t write in Java... I just don’t like the development experience (IDE etc.)...

Micromanagement is the worst! Just let everyone do their job.

I can’t respect an architect that does not code or never has. Keep making pretty pictures...

Irresponsible looping... o(n) catches up with you.

Waiting for the Android emulator to start is exhausting...

I am beyond fucking frustrated at this point. I feel pretty confident that I was just blocked from getting a position at work because they believe the current team I am on will fall a part without me. I’ve asked for a backup for years but they never got one for me. I have great folks on my team but despite knowledge transfers, they just don’t get it. I am ready to grow within the company, develop better soft skills, learn more about the other groups etc. but I don’t have the opportunity to. Also, I was passed up for someone outside of our group to manage our team a few years back despite being the lead since day 1. That’s two promotions I’ve been denied despite getting exceeds on every review I’ve ever had. I am so pissed that they would do that to me.

I unfriended every person at work on my Facebook except 2. I don’t know how I let my social media become so open to folks I work with. 😒

Stop multitasking/task switching and try to do more focused work.

Saying yes to everything.

I swear performance is the last thing on the minds of some developers. It’s going to be a long weekend for me.

I love getting an immediate response on GitHub for Entity Framework Core issues from Microsoft.

I work around other programmers who look down on you for having programming stickers. How sway?

I just pulled an all-nighter for some homework for grad school with a good friend and now I have 2 deployments today. Guess I can come off my coffee hiatus because I need it! This day is going to long unlike my patience.

I hate waiting on a preview of an SDK from Microsoft that should have the support for the feature in the first place. I should be able to query a view without needing a primary key. I am tired of making workarounds. Come on EF Core 2.1 preview! You’re killing me! Back to ADO.NET for now.

Nothing like starting work and a McAfee scan on your Windows PC has the CPU at 100%. 😒

I see managers micromanage by having a junior developer to track the things people are doing. Micromanagement is truly a trickle down issue. They learn it from their managers and so on.

It’s frustrating when an issue is so much bigger than you can control and people in IT that should understand don’t get it.

Interviewing developers are hard. Where are the senior developers?

Don’t use an array with index to get a value without checking the length. Don’t use an object without checking for null.

I am down a rabbit hole already this morning. Spending lots of time looking at contradictory information on HttpClient in C#... Interesting stuff!

Why do some people not take notes... 😒😒😒

Who knew setting up Visual Studio Code to run and debug C++ would be so complicated.

People have to realize that people are unique no matter the skill set. You can replace the skill set but not the person.

SOLID and KISS principles are necessary when building enterprise apps. Some people don’t think about design and make things complicated when it should be simple. 😒
