JavaScript Developer’s Post

Alternatively… Programmer: “Aha, now I’m getting an error, that’s good!” Non-programmer: “What?!”

I teach at a coding bootcamp, and I tell my students that this is often a cause for celebration.

This is accurate, however, we must stop normalizing on programmers the abuse of junk food, coffee and energy drinks to solve problems on long periods of work, if you really want to solve the problem, go get some sleep and get back the next day fresh and with new ideas. That guy is THIS CLOSE to get a heart attack, just one of those energy drinks contains all the caffeine you can drink in a day.

Hahaha, life of a newbie

Take a short walk and let your mind clear up. Go back to your IDE and place a break point. Now step through your code and fix the problem. If this is a matter of configuration may the binary gods be with you. I remember when I read Code Complete there was an explicit step that before you commit your changes you place a break point at the beginning and go through your program one more time to make sure all the outputs are as expected. Obviously writing tests as part of the process is really important and I still struggle with it. Kent beck said in the test driven development book that his daughter has the rules ingrained and she would always write the test first compared to him. Software Engineering is a beautiful frustrating never ending problem.

Honestly if the error message changed i would still be worried. Because it’s possible for an attempted solution to trigger a different error. Now if they are warnings, then i would celebrate a little.

I think both these Pages JavaScript Developer and Web Developer are the Same, Never seen a different post from them

If you're a dev, you know this feeling

This meme is absolutely on track! I had a couple situations today where systems would not boot properly after a change in volume label... Well, looking for changes in error messages is EXACTLY what solves this sort of problem as the boot path tends to be opaque, especially if there are errors in the command procedures/scripts. Well, all solved but LONG DAY.

On espère toujours que c’est le dernier message d’erreur, mais parfois le chemin est tortueux et rempli de petits bugs surprises! Les messages d’erreur que je préfère sont ceux que j’ai écris moi-même, bizarre… je n’aime pas ceux des autres. 😀Et vous ?
