Introvert or extrovert

March 20, 2020 — ~level3

One time I wondered out loud whether I was an introvert or extrovert. And a friend said I am definitely an introvert. I inquired why and they said extroverts don't get ideas like "silent mode for microwave ovens so it doesn't disturb others"

State the obvious

March 10, 2020 — ~level3

I bought a box of Planters Peanuts. It comes with a warning

CONTAINS: PEANUT. MAY CONTAIN: OTHER TREE NUTS

Now, you may think this is superfluous. However, it is not so cut and dried. Real life is full of nuances.

What would you do to me?

February 25, 2020 — ~level3

I wrote this horrible code today:

if (data.status = HTTP_STATUS_CODE.NO_CONTENT) {

I meant to write

if (data.status === HTTP_STATUS_CODE.NO_CONTENT) {

Clearly, this is a major bug. I did catch it but not before deploying it to development environment. What would you do if you were my supervisor?

I didn't rewrite history as I had already pushed my changes before I deployed to development.

Turns out powershell has different streams for different things. Capture them all with this one trick

Thankful for git commit --amend

February 21, 2020 — ~level3

As a mediocre programmer, I make a lot of mistakes. As such, I am very grateful that git commit --amend exists.

I always advise people to commit their changes early and commit changes often. Just don't push them out to public if you are not comfortable.

Feel free to rewrite history until you push.

My sister who is not a programmer, gives very sage programming advice. She once told me, If you can smell yourself a little bit, others can smell you A LOT. She was talking about my lack of personal hygiene but this also applies to code.

If your code smells "a little" to you, it probably smells like a fresh pile to other programmers or even to you six months from now.

I try not to anger future me too much.
