A former friend of mine once tried to save the game right before he took the drive-up to highway. In his real car. :)

@TheSilent Indeed :D @bosslogic

I made this experience *several times* also with customers. They had such a pressure about a certain feature or similar. I ripped my ass off to make it work before my vacation and when returning, it was not touched or sometimes even not needed anymore. ^^

Integer Overflow because of your awesomeness? :)

Nah, I have a dev colleague that often starts sentences with "we simply can ..."

I am laughing my ass off every time. :'-D

Why the fuck would someone use shitty application? There are alternatives...

ah, yes, "it compiles" - this was always the measurement for acceptable code. I guess that's the only measurement cGPT needs to fulfill :D

Would be interesting to know, if copy-pasting from Stackoverflow has the same effect.

@AlgoRythm I totally agree. But I don't have control over that. Even pure JSONL-arrays would be better than CSV (something like `[123,"foo", 12.3]` ) because it would be typed and the format is completely clear and you could even nest objects into it...

Multiply your gut feeling with Pi to get a "round" estimation. ;) In case you're done earlier, use the rest of the time to improve tests (or write tests at all ;))

I am pretty sure, that when it all crashes one day, only the non-digitals will survive.

@aviophille famous last words.. :D

Such days always have to start with a walk. A long walk. Minimum 2h.. best case: 4h!

You can also name it hiking, but actually you don't need much things with you. Just get out. We are sitting in our caves way too much.

After such a walk, everything else is different. Even masturbating, beer and TV Shows. :)

char is basically the same as int.

But you forgot byte:

Haha, 15 years ago we had this too in my previous company. I think it was called check.sh and did exactly that. :'-D

WTF, why would someone do that? Is there any benefit of that language?

I thought that's to avoid bugs, since bugs are attracted by bright light.

@IntrusionCM 100% agree.

Regarding company-hopping: In Germany this is seen as a "trouble maker", but is it the same in the US and/or other countries?

The YT-link in your Readme points to some music video. :)

Not sure if I understood all of it, but regarding career I got and hand on the simple advice: "Do what you love."

If you're doing it all for the money, then simply focus on that, but most likely you would have to deal with boredom.

If you know what you love, then don't shy to stay in the same company for several years. Loyalty is an underrated value.

If you have the feeling to be on the wrong place, then switch. However there is no "always happy" job. Endurance is also an important quality, even more for yourself when you managed to get trough rough times.

So no "take Option X" from me. Sorry. :)

I totally enjoy going to office meeting the colleagues - but mostly to get some distance again from wife and kids. :)

WOW, how could you survive so long? Can't believe such things happen in Europe.

@DarkMukke But whom will I point to it? :)

Oh wow, now I feel old with 15 years of working in the same branch of software development...

Can't remember when I became familiar and I used to it, but in the meantime my arrogance is fed by not getting impossible challenges anymore. :-P

@Oktokolo I am (mostly) German, so I like that thin cover of dust aka "specs". ;)

At least your comment inspired me to try static code analysis once more and thus were fixing potential NPEs half day long. :D

@Oktokolo Damn, I knew Java can't be considered modern anymore.

Fixing NPEs automatically would be a nice start

@darksideofyay Yes, you are right. People are not computers. And behind each person is a story that is highly individual. Computers don't have scars.

Additional programming language is superior in defining things. And as far as I understand, trans-people mostly fight with the definitions others put on them. So maybe "computer language" can help. With my definition I wanted to declare that transwomen are women in one sense even if not identical to women.

...to be precise TransWomen are composed of a Men extending the class Women. :)

Since TransWomen want to be treated as Women and casted back and forth, composition would only be possible if "Women" is an interface - but we all now, they are their own class... :-P
