We have a large digital clock that hangs off the roof that counts down the hours, minutes and seconds before the current sprint ends. I feel really under pressure.
Got a client that, as I discovered only after accepting the project, has scammed a lot of families and is doing a rebranding - to probably scam some more.
Thought about dropping the project but he pays big.
I don't like using SQL so I write my own databases integrated in the code. I prefer calling to functions better than SQL queries!
Last minute requirements... again... needing to tweak the architecture... again. I miss sleeping and need more coffee. Again. Mit vanilla syrup... yeah.

A multiplayer, drawing game from the idiot behind Coding Confessional.
When I'm not "in the zone" I use to watch writes in Netflix on work hours
I can't write code in 10 - 15 minute increments, but that's realistically what I have to do the way things are set up around here.
The meme "I want a job I don't need a vacation from." Is a bunch of bullshit and makes me want to smack people who post it. Work is work - STFU!
I want to jump out of my desk chair, crash through the window and fly off Superman style.
All your posts make me happy to know that my skills and performance will always be in demand.
I created a GUI interface using visual basic to track the killers IP address
From my experience, developers most of times are unfair with Testers. I had this crazy time when I was writing an automation script and a lame-ass dev came to me yelling: Why should I trust you?!
I was like "What"? He continued: "Why should I trust you that the feature is not working? It is perfectly fine to my computer! Why you wrote that is not working?"
I nervously said because I get paid to find bugs and you don't have to trust me. Its professional, its not working at mine and why you get this personal?
Than the manager called us in office to solve the argue like it was in kindergarten administration office.
So guys, don't get personal with testers. They basically save you ass in front of the client and protect company's prestige.
Sometimes I write regular expressions that parse HTML in production code.
I'm exceptionally good at writing regular expressions, so I get away with it most of the time. It doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling, though.
Sometimes I close the ticket, knowing that it's not really resolved....
Anyone have major spurts of productivity? Can spend a day or two staring at a wall and then shit out a week's worth of work before lunch the next day?
I work on mouse driver software. You could only use the mouse if you had Internet access, but now we don't need to do that to protect it from piracy, we just started selling the people who use the mouse's (and keyboard) data :D
I don't want to put ads in my mobile app, but i don't have rhe enough money to support it, what can I do?
I installed the StayFocused plugin for Chrome to keep me away from sites like this one during work hours, but then I just use a new Incognito window to bypass it.
I've decided that I'm going to give up programming. Give up jobs and life in general, and just become a vagrant. No more stress.
Windows ist kein kleines Hobbyprojekt eine gelangweilten Finnen, sonder seit Jahrzehnten milliardenfach verwendete Profisoftware.
At every job, the first thing I do is refactor and clean up the code I am assigned to work.
