  • In general, I’m with you
    But sometimes I need to revert/comment out a code block, because another code part isn’t finished/working as it should.
    Sure, it clutters code, but if I just comment out a function call and temporarily replace it with the workaround, it should imho stay in code.

    Else the workaround will stay forever and the commented out code will act as a reminder, that this part isn’t clean yet.

    But maybe it really is a case by case thing, where sometimes it’s better to branch it out for later merge - although that can get really messy, while having the future implementation commented out, others will also see, how it is supposed to work and don’t try to further extend the workaround, which makes future merging hell

    Out of interest, how would your best practice look in such cases?



  • Well, that’s how my business trips usually look like.

    Work outside of usual production, but still somehow watch and verify your changes during production the next day, maybe producing hot-fixes, and trying to get some sleep until you can do your tests of changes at night, after you hopefully have swallowed all the fucking log data with a beer - and sometimes 2 and something stronger.

    Then you go to bed with an unresolved issue, wake up during the night with some kind of wacky dreamed up solution.
    Without any other option you hack it in, and it miraculously works.

    Then you go home and sleep - until some support call disturbs your Zen and you’re helplessly confused again …




  • Imho to be a pawn means to be moved around by external strong forces.
    And that can never be ok. Because every human is the god/king/creator of his own life and no one else has say in it - as long as he doesn’t influence another’s freedom.

    What’s so fucking hard about that for society?
    Wouldn’t it be nicer, if everyone could do whatever the fuck feels necessary for him and the society he cares about?
    I’ve nothing against money, because it has great value in communicating, well, value.
    But the imperialistic capitalism we currently ride is not even just not sustainable, it also brings misery to do many people, while we technically would have the means to prevent raid misery.

    It’s just stupid all around…








  • You can still smoke in some bars?
    In Austria they completely outlawed that with the argument, that the workers are forced to work in a smoke filled room

    I’m probably one of those old guys, but I really enjoy a cigarette to my “Feierabendbier” and now I’m pretty much never going to a bar anymore, because at home I can have that combination…





  • Yeah, I need to keep my hair a bit longer to not look like a worm
    So I bought one of those trimmers, you can connect to a vacuum. This sucks in the hair and it gets cut at least reasonable long.

    And every place I went, they just did their typical thing that’s currently en vogue, didn’t matter much, what I was saying. It was always just an adaptation of the current style.

    So I gave up paying 30-100€ every few months, because they couldn’t get it right anyway.

    If I need to look like shit for a few weeks, it should at least be cheap…
