Code folding the rug under which we sweep our shame. Fix it in pycharm by unchecking everything under Editor/General/Code Folding

What about python encouraged this developer to write a=A();b=B();c=C();a.b=b;a.c=c;b.a=a;b.c=c;c.a=b;c.b=b; EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON EVERYTHING

new javascript header "use meh"

a class constructor pointer is not a "thing". a setter function is not an "obj". I fear for this guy's kids, named "huh" and "wha"

The future is here. We no longer gain access to resources with passwords, but only through password reset processes.

obj is not a good name for an object that holds widget meta data. Who checked that in, ah person1

I should tweet my commit messages. I'd get a larger audience.

Aspose is flooding my twitter stream. More than 1 tweet per minute. I'd retaliate with a flood but they don't subscribe to me. How unfair.

on-error-continue programming doesn't actually fix any bugs.

Is it tkinter or the python runtime that's so aggressive in hiding errors. This decorator shows what the true errors https://gist.github.com/matthewdeanmartin/173c380cb7522ca0d6b8

I want to a #stackoverflow clone but for stupid questions, like "are #python pickle files valid python code?" How do I know if it is stupid?

We viciously mock people who make up fake languages, but it's okay to have your own private vocabulary for writing software code.

To use cx_Freeze is to adopt a cx_Freeze driven development style where we delegate all decisions to its constraints. But I got # and py2exe

The time you save by not typing a full variable name will be lost by your team members renaming all your variables.

In the future, programming languages will only allow you to re-use already existing variable names. Monkey patching extreme! It's a feature!

That I need to click on the "Read Now" bookmarklet (from Readability) all day is a crying shame.

Any one want to be a user experience intern at my company? http://formarshgroup.theresumator.com/apply/jobs/details/lUCIbV? located in Arlington, VA

Should I write all my code using just ternary-if, list comprehensions and lambdas? Simplify that 50,000 line app to 1 really long line.

MSSQL mirroring is so reliable it *only* fails in production, never when being tested in any other environment. Pick for HA in TEST-not PROD

If I don't upgrade chrome, I can't run lastpass, if I don't upgrade Mac to OS10.6, I can't upgrade chrome. Chrome is costing me $20.+time

Pycharm has saved me, something like 3 months of learning python. That works out to a rate return of 17,000% or so for my employer.

When did twitter turn into 4chan?

RescueTime thinks I'm more productive than TimeSnapper thinks I am.

You can't uninstall, but you can attempt to disable MS internet explorer http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/how-to-turn-internet-explorer-off

MSIE has brain damaged flash block, no HTTPS-everywhere, WoT requires admin rights to install. Maybe I can just disable it?

Hell is a cruel myth to scare children. But Java Runtime hell is real, and your sin is, well, using anything that depends on java.

RescueTime says it took 73 hours to find my significant other on OkCupid. I'm marking it as productive time instead of "highly distracting"

I want to write a game where you have to identify tunes by "dum a dum da, duma dum da, duma a dum da". Askers get point for being guessed.

Step 1: Refactor by renaming classes HONESTLY. They are now called: JustABunchOfFunctions1, JustABunchOfFunctions3, JustABunchOfFunctions3

DC Agile Book Club! http://www.meetup.com/DC-Agile-Software-Management-Book-Club/events/198603232/ It is happening now!

Insight: Telling a team of dev to hit an aggressive due date (ie arbitrary short) is like ask people to make an arb # of widgets, quant>qual

Pycharm community edition is free. So what is the excuse for crappy python code? Sabotage... and... I'm drawing a blank.

Why do I have to sign in over & over to view #TechNet and #MSDN documentation? Someone hates developers.

How to ship in 6 months, cut unit tests, you will deliver in 8. If you cut linting, 12. If you cut ALL time wasting quality assurance, NEVER

In python, you write in a pythonic manner. In awk you write in an awkward manner.

614 tweets since I last looked. Be patient, I will answer each one in the order that they arrived.
