Hello developer pal!, glad to see you here.
What about sharing one spooky story from your life as dev?, me first!
When I started to work, it was as a Jr BE dev, using C#
and Visual Source Safe
, there was this delivery we needed to accomplish in one week, so I started coding on Monday, Tuesday, I made a couple initial commits, the CI/CD we had that time took the changes, created an artifact minimized and optimized, deployed it to QA and that was all, everything was running smoothly.
Next 3 days, I was so focused in my work that I completely forgot to commit, 3 days in a row without committing, on Friday afternoon, I finally did, and guess what?, the panic.
Something happened that I lost all my changes, I tried to recover it in any possible way, unsuccessfully. After spending a couple hours, I went to my boss, sure that I was gonna get fired, explained the whole situation, and instead of asking me for a card box, he sat at my desk, helped me to track down the latest deploy(from 3 days ago), disassembled some minimized files(function names as i
, return values as x
, etc), stand up from my desk and just said Good luck during the weekend
, then left.
After spending the whole weekend decoding and remembering what a function with signature (a,b,c)
with a return z
could be, and not sleeping at all, I was able to deliver by Monday.
Moral: always commit!
Thanks for reading!
