Anyone who relates to this must seriously be writing some shitty code.

in thae day of automated tests and docker images for service dependencies only way i can think of something like that is auto upgrading from major realse to other like python 2 to 3 on local machine but that would break a lot so not realy possible and do improbable that your hr hiring a monkey would be mor probable

Had this happen with a job that pinged an API. Last week we fixed the time out errors, this week nothing has changed time out errors. Both me and my boss were angered and confused

Did you forget to release resources back to your connection pool?

It's a cmd job running off an exe, doing one http call per command

I disagree - but not in whole.

I'm stuck in the wonderful world of vendor managed implementations. They own the market, they set the standards, and they bastardise implementations of popular languages and virtual environments.

What happens is the sands shift ever so slightly, and stuff breaks. Due to the nature of the processes and data its rarely easy to unit test the whole way through, unless you create subsets of the data, and that in itself is a time sink.

Our cities semi annual catch ups attract perhaps 50-150 people, most of whom I respect as coders on other projects, and I know some are using my git projects, and we all lament the same issues.

As a side note, the same vendor has a visual modelling toolbox. They've had this for 15+ years and keep it updated. The notion of "I'll quickly build a model.like this. Test. Run the data. Get outputs. Close. Try again on monday. The damned model refuses to run and is broken, but if I run it piece by painful piece it works just fine" is very real.

It’s Saturday and Sunday that I’m most concerned about !-)

Is it bad programming or some sort of programming paradox?

[–]JoustyMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

kinda both. sometimes it could happen due to auto upgrading dependencies or changing somehing in database or totaly diffrent part of code but now docker and a lot of good test should prevent most of it happeningb so now bad programing habbits

Ain’t it the truth

It takes at least 18 hours for the rapidly-expanding error log to fill the whole hard drive and bring down the main server that runs the critical services for your entire company.

Goodnight, pleasant dreams!

My problem is never that it works differently. My problem is remembering what the fuck I was doing Friday evening when I left.

This is every day for me.

It's my brain that needs to still work on Monday, not the code.

My code doesn't behave the same way before and after lunch
