So apparently the falling-when-drunk logic applies also to development work.

Fall when sober and you die a horrible death. Fall when drunk and a drunk fairy takes care of you and rewards you with a kebab.

Considering my current work schedule, maybe I should start working drunk...

@Tvercruysse It's actually a Precision 5520 and it's treating me well. It's nice to finally have a laptop capable of handling also CAD/3Ds Max work without melting.

I'm more than happy to switch to Linux once all the Hololens tools, Photoshop, 3Ds Max, Solidworks etc. are available on Linux. I'm still able to get my Linux fix with Beagle Bones and Raspberry Pis 😁

Google Assistant + IFTTT + Harmony + Tasker. Android just turned into an orgy!

@helloworld I have been doing exactly that. I also time my sneak attacks to 5 minutes before the usual coffee break.

But still I have to spend time thinking before drinking 😜

@acerspyro

private float _johnAdams?

I bet they always suggest buyers to buy as much BIOS they can afford to future proof their setup 😜

I felt exactly like that as well but unfortunately my latest Android experience ended just like the movie so I switched back.

For me the freedom is the ability to choose freely between iOS and Android. Usually when I'm under deadlines I use iOS cause I can't tinker with it too much and if I have time, I use Android and spent way too much time playing with all the possibilities.

I have a love and hate relationship with the freedom in Android. It's nice to be able to customise the phone just to your liking but for me the problem is that after x number of customisations application y might become laggy and unstable. I haven't experienced the same with iOS.

@Scrumplex Well I quess then you can't use your iPad as a second monitor?

@Scrumplex ...but do you use your second monitor as an iPad?

iPad Pro as a second monitor while travelling. Duet display even supports the stylus, which is great.

Maybe I'll bring this up on my upcoming development discussion?

"I'll want a beer fridge in my office so I can be more productive. Just keep it filled and let me do my magic..."

Just tested doing iOS build in the Virtualbox MacOS and everything went fine. I just had to reinstall everything since I first made the .vdi size too small and couldn't resize it for some reason.

Now I have the exportes Virtualbox image ready for the new laptop once it arrives.

@aayusharyan Perhaps just cry and scream?

@Sully I followed this guide:

@ScribeOfGoD Only if I find my way back there 😜

@linuxxx My time machine backup from the future will soon give me a warning of messing around with time and space...

Went a step further: MacOS in Virtualbox running on Windows 10 which was running on Parallels on MacOS.

Now I just have to make a test build in Xcode...

@HoloDreamer That remains to be seen...

So far I have the MacOS running and I just installed Xcode and imported my developer profile. So far so good...

@aayusharyan Well why not? 😜

I'm getting a new Windows laptop to replace my MBP. I still need to be able to do iOS builds and I want to travel with only one laptop.

I decided to make Virtualbox image while waiting so I'll be able to just copy it to the new laptop when it arrives.

Generally I don't trust people who either wear suspenders or don't like coffee.

I don't know how it affects on the persons programming skills though? I suppose it could be untrustworthy as well 😜 I would double check the if-elses for all kinds of trickery...

@ramblingpirate Yes and after last room switch I also got a Window 😂

I also searched for a replacement for my MBP since I need to a Windows 10 machine and the Bootcamp/Parallels just wasn't up to it.

Dell XPS 15 seems to be suggested quite widely as MBP replacement. Since it wasn't currently available through our vendor, they suggested a Dell Precision 5520 instead. Should get it in couple of weeks.

I still hope that all the necessary tools were available for MacOS. I just have to keep myself so busy developing that I'll spend as little time as possible outside the Visual Studio 😂

@Dorrin Our development methodology is usually PDD (panic driven development).

It contains intensive last minute development sprints that are followed by holding the breath and just hoping that everything stays stable enough for the demonstrator presentation.

Testing is achieved by exposing humans to the code. The assertion is that nobody dies. The development is continued until this goal is reached or we run out of developers.

And once the presentation is over, code base is placed into archive and it will mature in the darkness for at least couple of years. Code base is taken out of the archive for copy-pasting only if someone just happens to stumble upon the original source code.

Python is extemely fast to wrote just so you can make a maximum amount of bugs in minimal time 😂

Recently I made an IoT demonstrator device which had the main logic developed with Python, some of the logging features with PHP, client side logic in C# and some interfaces with C++. And to make things even worse, it was coded with a single laptop screen.

Most horrendous debugging experience ever. Eventually I managed by configuring every platform editor background in different color, so I wouldn't continue typing Python code in the PHP project etc.

I usually start a small bandage project. Something that can be finished quite quickly so usually nothing too serious. For me the idea is to keep the good flow going and to be able to refine the key parts of the previous code even further. This way I usually end up with a small library I can use over and over again and after many projects I have a full treasure chest of these gold nuggets.

Or then just take a nap. You deserve it after a hard work 🙃

So I'm schizoprenic with no life, since I'm running Windows and Linux virtual machines on Mac.

And my phone is running Android, my tablet iOS and I'm developing with Hololens.

Just use whatever tool that gets the job done...

@aronmik Pizza eating is a coroutine.

Some refactoring...

while (true)
{
try
{
if(_pizza.Contains(Topping.Pineapple)
throw up;

EatPizza();
}
catch
{
Console.Log("You monster!");
}
}

And naturally _pizza is private!

while (true)
{
LovePizza();
}
