Sensational
Can't get enough of that!
Just last week. It was great. We reverted the bad change by the other guys and the problem was instantly fixed.
Took a screenshot in October of a conversation with the client not wanting a feature.
Used it last week when the client asked for the feature.
Had this last week. Searched for my error for 2 days because I was also convinced it had to be my change. Turned out to be a hardware error. So good.
Hardware errors is one of the last things one considers.
For "normal" software development (not something close to embedded) finding a hardware error would likely take month of debugging.
I have an office only people from my small department can enter and the balcony is connected to the alarm system so it has to be locked. I have started taking photos of the alarm terminal when I leave to prove it was locked when I left so that I won't ever have to come in when that one isn't locked in the evening when the main alarm needs to be enabled. The terminal also shows the balcony for the other side of the building and someone tried to pin it on me when the other side was still unlocked one day. Was very satisfying sending him the photo with both doors locked that I took the day before.
Reads like my father when he's talking about me to my mum.
No, I haven't experienced that.
Neither one, to be precise. But I'm sure it's great.
I had almost 2 day stretch doing nothing but sitting on Teams calls trying to work out why everything in test went into meltdown literally minutes after I pr’ed. Everyone presumed it was my fault, my PR was being torn apart like when the greyhounds finally catch the hare, sweat was pouring.
That release when it was confirmed that it wasn’t my PR that did it, beautiful.
But have you had a humbling experience of thinking someone else caused the bug and then finding out he just moved your buggy method to an utility class?
(I had)
Sex is cool but have you worked in a place that had a no blame culture and people focused on fixing problems instead of finding somebody to blame?
It's amazing how easy is this to do, and how much insufferable twats rely on some sort of farcical hierarchy/corporate power dynamics that you won't point the bullshit they themselves put on paper.
Also once I got a director fired when I did this, and that was defo one of my top 10 biggest professional achievements.
No because I couldn't care less who's fault it was. Everyone makes mistakes jfc.
Good thing we don't blame people at work, instead we work together to fix the mistake. And if for some reason someone wants to blame anyone we have a designated blame guy!
It’s all fun and games until the blame guy goes rogue
