Changing stuff and seeing what happens. If you change two things the universe will let the problem be fixed, because that leaves you uncertain which thing fixed the problem.

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

The ol Heisenburg’s Uncertainty fix

The guy who wrote this is gone

I've gotten about 1,000 alert emails in the last 8 hours because of this

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The trick is to be the guy who is gone

[-] pdxfed@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Guys who are here hate this one trick!

I retired about a year ago, so the left-most book on the middle row is about me.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

congrats wisened/enrichend early retirement one.

[-] perishthethought@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

That one is my aspiration too. Is retirement as great as it seems?

[-] robolemmy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I’m enjoying it a lot so far. I haven’t missed working at all.

[-] fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

I have a mention in forward with a note being "the only documention left was a series of desperate sounding emails that the documentation was still on the now quarenteened work computers and something about a README"

THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE TO ME, like I appreciate my bosses and PMs being chill and not wanting to overwork me on my way out but seriously guys I needed to hand this off to someone and put it somewhere. shrug

[-] robolemmy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I asked people to take handover for a full month before I left and nobody cared. On my last day they kept asking if they could call me with questions. I said only if they had their credit cards ready because I wasn’t going to work for free.

[-] fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

100% like can you message me? Sure. Will I help or hell respond? Probally not tbh. Work, chores, and hobbies keep me busy enough.

[-] desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 month ago

blaming the user, it's not necessarily their fault, but gaslighting worked for Apple so why can't it work for me.

[-] funbreaker@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 month ago

I'm going through Rustlings so Trying Stuff Until it Works

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 5 points 1 month ago

Ain't nothing wrong with that.

[-] sheepishly@fedia.io 11 points 1 month ago

Forgetting how your own code works over here

[-] Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 month ago

I'm definitely writing useless git commit messages

For work, I at least include the Jira ticket id

For personal stuff, it's sweeping features stuffed into one commit that barely describes what was changed

[-] gnutrino@programming.dev 15 points 1 month ago

"Fixed stuff"
...
"Fixed for real this time"

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

What was the git flag to basically rewrite history again?

I've definitely been guilty of this, but if I can redo my changes in narrative form before I push I bet I won't have to.

[-] gnutrino@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago

git rebase -i

[-] blaue_Fledermaus@mstdn.io 2 points 1 month ago

Forcing myself to write in the format of Conventional Commits has helped me a lot to write better commit messages.

It's probably going to be a kitten sort of day; I'm stress testing and trying to address the pain points (which so far is mostly on all the other services outside my code that can't keep up; not a bad place to be).

[-] frezik@midwest.social 9 points 1 month ago

Nobody going to admit to being the pigeon? Because that's me.

[-] Entropywins@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I'm sorta like the pigeon but more just a vague understanding of the last critical thing that was asked of me.

[-] simonced@lemmy.one 7 points 1 month ago

Mine is not in the list.
"Click here and there, because no documentation..."

[-] anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

Customer facing, so I think I wrote the one with the cat..

[-] abraham_linksys@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

I just picked up the latest version of "Copying and Pasting". This edition discusses copying and pasting from various AIs. Looking forward to digging in

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Glad to see they keep it up to date.

[-] gerryflap@feddit.nl 5 points 1 month ago

The "Forgetting How Your Own Code Works" is real. I've looked at code, thought to myself "what fcking idiot wrote this garbage", only to see my own name next to it. It's a very humbling experience

[-] christian@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

Frog, dog, and kitten, over and over and over in completely arbitrary orderings.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 5 points 1 month ago

Blaming the user. Always

Changing stuff and seeing what happens!

The best part is remembering every change to revert it after XY change does it right.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I'm going for the Dr. Venkman combo: "Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!"

[-] drew_belloc@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago

All the purple ones

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's a weekday, but I'm not a pro, so either llama or hamster. Maybe sloth, we'll see where today's project goes.

Does anybody know if there's a standard method to do a 1-way broadcast from mobile wifi hardware? (Or Auracast, it looks like the same thing) It's for a sort of mesh network where links may change very rapidly, and so a handshake doesn't make sense.

[-] SlippiHUD@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

2, 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are my usuals.

[-] CPMSP@midwest.social 3 points 1 month ago

I'm too seen here. Time to hide.

Fuck, I would love to rewrite the front end.

[-] jxk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Writing Useless Git Commit Messages, no doubt

[-] WanakaTree@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

The best Git Commit message I've ever seen was for like 35 files and a few hundred lines and it just said "Please work"

[-] tomkatt@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I spend a bunch of time in log reviews in my current role. “Googling the error message” image is literally hanging on my office wall.

[-] OozingPositron@feddit.cl 3 points 1 month ago

Works on my machine.

[-] jsomae@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

i like the last one

[-] Phoenix3875@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago
[-] wewbull@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

Is that an armadillo? Forgetting how my own code works is my forte.

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I thought it was a coral but kinda looks like could be a face in the left. Still probably a coral

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

I'm the donkey today - but it's okay since I'm writing some automated tests over the incomprehensible thing I wrote on Tuesday.
