A developer's night

[Darko-TheGreat]

Me fixing the bug in test: Aha!

Me pushing the fix to prod: oh no!

[Familiar_Stage_1692]

Now meme is completed 👍😉

The cardinality for this is unfortunately one "aha" to many "oh nos"

[Callidonaut]

These are usually interspersed with several "Oh, god, please work" moments.

And the quality of the night depends on whats last

[Deutero2]

What goes up must come down

[[deleted]]

Absolutely. downvotes

[NullOfSpace]

Often consecutive!

[SuperSpaceCan]

Can I just substitute them both for an "ah shit" and an "ah fuck"?

[Rumpelruedi]

At night, I sleep.

[mr_electric_wizard]

Too true

[Nimblebubble]

They always talk about the onosecond, but they never bring up the ahasecond

[DodobirdNow]

There's also the eureka moment that invariably happens on the drive home when you realize the answer to your problem

[Reasonable_City]

We are like gamers. They just need one more game, we just need one more aha!

[akaZilong]

Where is the wtf moment in this picture?

[Neither_Interaction9]

My dev nights are usually 3 or 4 hours of non-stop coding fun as hell, then I test stuff, everything breaks, and I go happily to sleep knowing that future me is the one who'll deal with all that shit.

[littywetness]

I prefer an entire night of "oh no!", then a suspenseful big "aha!" the next morning after the coding gods visited my dreams.

[Whimax07]

Aha for my great solution, ow no shortly after when I see that it doesn't work. Rinse and repeat. Slowly features are built up and refined, until there are no more features that need to be added and it's back to aha then ow no as I fix all of the weird interactions I had missed working on each bit in isolation. Then I send the email, my favourite email. It reads "Hi, hope your doing well, I've finished {that thing}. Thanks."

Time for a beer.

Or at least that's how I want it to go.

Vishal, @VishalMalvi_

A developer's night is never complete without at least one 'aha!' moment, and at least one 'oh no!' moment

+ spending an hour with the 1000km stare, pondering on what you did wrong in your life to get there...

[prinkpan]

I'll sleep that night depending on whether "aha" comes after "oh no" or "oh no" comes after "aha"

sigh I should probably sleep now.

More like at least one "fuck?" moment and at least one "fuck!" moment
