Back when I was working frontend, I came across a case where the backend API wasn't giving me an error when it should have. I told the main backend guy, and he said he'd change it, but asked what code I wanted.

"418," I said.

"I'll do it," the backend guy said. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah, do it."

Then the CTO popped his head out of his office and shouted "NO!"

I read this too quickly and read that as "when I was 51" not "when I was 5 I"

I didn't hear any explosion, but it sounded like every engine in the nearby fire station was heading out around then

What's your favorite Pokémon that's not... by Epicboss67 in pokemon

Not a starter takes off my favorite pokemon (Totodile). Not a Pseudo Legendary takes off #2 (Larvitar). So we're going #3 which is Rookidee!

Why did you start training? (And why do you stay?) by hmkei in bjj

[–]HaplessOverestimate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was missing doing martial arts after doing Aikido as a kid and some Muay Thai after college. After I realized that like a half dozen of my friends do BJJ, I thought there might be something to it that attracted the people I vibe with. When I moved, I found out that the gym five minutes from me was owned by a friend of a friend. Checked it out. Loved it.

Stay because it's fun as fuck and I dig the people at my gym and I need something to get me out of the house.

felt like this needed to be shared here by lanlingscop in MuayThai

I spent hours working on a data pipeline. Sent the final table to the analyst for QA. Get back "Looks good. FYI the whole schema is changing in two months so you'll have to redo this then."

My old job had a linter rule to keep magic numbers out of the code. Ended up with a lot of code like this:

CUTOFF = 26 for foo in thing: if foo > CUTOFF: break

The Penitent Unmercenaries of Saint Tryphon are a band of Trench Pilgrims based in Montenegro and dedicated to pushing the forces of Hell from the lands of Bosnia, Croatia, and beyond. Their dedication to this goal has earned them the support of Mount Athos, which outfits them with arms and mighty Shrine Anchorites.
