If I stopped using single letter variable names in 3rd grade, you can too. Although I admit the variable names were all insults.
I'd rather a meaningful function name in Bangla or Esperanto than garbage like intmax because at least google translate could help.
Jira's issue data entry is 1000x better than TFS. I'm surprised at how much worse a UI is for being native application.

A foot machine gun isn't a feature. There are some features that you should not add to a product. Ever. Single checkout in source control,
@mistersql and placing a suicide button next to the windshield wipers is another.

That a source control product does support locked checkouts: That alone is better than all the features of TFS, all 2 trillion LOC.
My plan to fight terrorism is to subscribe to #wapo No one can make fun of terrorists for us if we don't help pay journalists salaries.
"It doesn't have to be perfect" isn't a quality standard. "It has to launch once on one machine" is.So is "It need 20 meaningful unit tests"
SQL Express 2008 R2's installer is buggy. And it's a known issue: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/54bbcac3-41c5-4a5d-a4f6-2669e538dc82/sqlserver-2008-express-install-error?forum=sqlexpress
The #powershell 3 download page is a preview of the user-hostile UX to expect, right? Are the product download folk trying to kill PS?
The RTM version means "ran out of time". I think it's Latin, not sure what the M is.
If someone wants single user check out they should be encourage to install TFS server on their workstation and disconnect from the network.

With determination, gumption, infinite patience, you too can install python tools for visual studio #PTVS installer only hung once.
Things I install first: 7z, timesnapper, Notepad++, Github.
5 plug in you need to sleep at night: flashblock, https everywhere, lastpass, web of trust, adblock.
Bingo! You need a SAML single sign on app right? Of course. Now go get ForgeRock's OpenAM : https://forgerock.org/openam/
The install and setup of Tomcat is as easy as it was in 1999 back when I was in college. Java still can't find * without setting env vars
despair is trying to get simplesamlphp to do anything. at all.
I know, let's ship a source control product with no usable UI and missing features. And after RTM, we'll release a "Power Tool" add in.
To use PHP & Eclipse, do you need to install the Zend Server? The "Run Configurations..." menu & dialog seem to hate me.
Katana and Owin have so radically changed the landscape that one of my personal projects (an on premise hit counter) is now trash. :-(
#adfs is magic. And I mean, "continually bemusing", not "reads my mind and does useful things"
And #VS2013 can attach a debugger again. Can we send a bill to the VS Debugger team for time lost?
Stages of #VS2013 debugger attachment: 1st stage, rejection. VS will not attach. 2nd stage, Repair. 3rd stage, begging and bargaining. 4th..
Commitment devices, a topic dear to my heart at the moment: http://bit.ly/1w1hb0O
It is a race! #VS2013 Repair vs the heat death of the universe. My money is on the universe.
VS2013 installer finishes faster than VS2013 repair. And repair had a long head start. This is why dev machines should be 2 VMs on 1 box

TSQL Procs have the elegance of COBOL, the clarity of encrypted binary, the productivity of toggle switches.
I felt a great disturbance in the net, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. #stackoverflow
An episode of peak befuddlement and a flurry of questions has taken down #stackoverflow http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/stackoverflow.com
#MSSQL Error 825 would be more memorable if it really was called "The Error of Impending Doom"
All I know 4 sure is I don't want to work 4 the guy I met who said the only problem w/meaningless work is not enough people willing to do it
VS2013 gave me a "bad" habit. I can now put 25 classes into 1 file and comfortably navigate among them in solution explorer.
TFS is the optimal process tracking system for teams of 500,000 and larger, but for teams of 500,001 it likely will not scale. Choose wisely
array<String^>^ splitNumbers = winningNumbers->Split(splitters, System::StringSplitOptions::None); That took a long time to figure out.
Do people hate c++/cli because once you are somewhere where you could use c#, you should?
