It can get difficult keeping up will all my tabs.

Well played, good sirs :D
Also, I'm up to word # 27397502 in my database and I haven't even gotten through my personal wordlists yet.

I've never really worked with other programmers before, and in the near future, I'll have to follow guidelines and do code reviews and (actually, for real this time) comment. Only a few of the things that we plan to implement are already in place and within the last 4 months, my understanding of collaborative work has increased tons and consequently made me a better dev.

That's great man. I am in the exact same boat as you. I started programming by myself, and now am a developer in said "industry", and have faced the exact same learnings. I think code review, testing, documentation, etc were all pretty annoying concepts for me to start, but now I really appreciate them as helping me become better at writing effective software.

Flixel was duplicating bitmapdatas unnecessarily for static background sprites. I brought it up on GitHub, hacked a quick fix, and now we're restructuring flixel. That escalated quickly. https://github.com/HaxeFlixel/flixel/issues/1593

Nice... That is pretty cool. I wish more discussions were like this when making changes to software in the business world where people want things done immediately. Maybe there is at some places, but I am constantly making changes that are quick fixes and bloat the application. This is how it was always done in past and still being done now. I wonder when it will get to bloated and just explode...

It might be hard to do when you aren't in charge of dev, but I'm finding that a large initial investment into api, usability, and clean code makes the rest of dev easy. Like when some major change comes up, it's much easier to adapt when you've already planned for the unexpected to occur.

Yeah. I agree with that.

I am in a strange situation in the way development is done. Legacy code. Our main application written in VB6 with access database with link tables that then go to sql.... And we want to get away from designing new feature in vb6.

And want to rewrite a lot of applications, but for some reason we havent started the development of the rewrite of new applications.

So it is like, hey they want me to add a column in this report to show dates. This code is mess and shld really be rewritten like this so it is easier to manage. Should I just add the column or add column and fix up the bad code in here?

Just add the column because we are going to be moving away from this and because we will shortly be rewritten it in future. I agree with this because why waste time fixing vb6 stuff when we are gonna rewrite in newer technologies, but it has been 3 months, still havent started rewritting anything...

Maybe 30% of the reason I got a CS minor rather than changing majors was bc I knew I'd be dealing with other people's code for a job. I couldn't stand just adding the column, I'd be refactoring or rewriting all day.

And if they don't cuddle their braces, I'd quit

This is why I made my own library.
Fewer bugs, lighter in weight. Not as comprehensive, but more flexible. Bare essentials needed to quickly create stuffs.

I love the guys over at Flixel and everything, but I honestly think their project went from "simple game library" to "game framework and full engine" way too quickly, and it's hard for them to keep up.

I've actually been working on a lot of projects at my work that apparently have been put off for months/years. Thankfully since I'm the only dev on them I don't need to sit there and hack my way through everything.

.. I'm also setting up a date where I get everyone on git and teach them how to use it.
Meetings ahoy!

Yeah. That is lucky. Digging through code trying to figure out what another developer was doing can be hair tearing. Especially with no documentation. There is laughter though, better than crying. And sometimes there is the occasional smirk once figure out what they were doing or how they accomplished something.

Looking at legacy code though, I am always like poor guy.... he couldve done it this way with this new technology and saved him weeks of work. Must of been rough back in the day.

The place I'm staying at now has no internet set up at all so I'm using an unlimited data plan on my phone and tethering it to my laptop, problem is theres a 4gb/month limit on that which is less than stellar. I've already tried jailbreaking my iPhone but unfortunately I have the newest update and it could be weeks till a break comes out for it. I've been googling around for about 2 hours now without any conclusive answers, all I've learned is that there are a shitload of ways for the network to tell that you're doing it.

Within 5 seconds of tethering, AT&T texted me saying they would revoke my (grandfathered) unlimited plan and switch me to a crappy tethering plan.

Jailbroken phones are also security risks if you didn't know. I haven't had a need to since ios5, but apparently some exploits can only get into a jb iphone.

Rooted Nexus 5 (doesn't even need to be rooted)

Simples.

Honestly I don't think there's a way to circumvent all that. If you don't like your plan, either upgrade or switch.

The problem is that you can't "upgrade" to a tethering plan, you can only go laterally or down to a tethering plan (last I checked). Unlimited beats any other plan, and you can't get it back once you switch. Even mobile hotspot is another plan, everything is another plan so that they can get more people off the old unlimited plans.

I used to have unlimited 3G (with HSPA) that had no tethering limitations - I wish I could have it back :( 4G here in the UK is getting better but holy shit I can't live off of 4GB of data a month. I'd rather it be slower and have as much as I want.

ST is technically unlimited, but it chokes you after 3GB to a point where Pandora stutters badly.
I only use about 1-2GB a month, though, so it's not really a problem.

What the hell are you doing that 4GB isn't enough? You realize WiFi exists, right?

Apparently I used 8gb last month, not sure how. Though some web pages are fucking huge on mobile.

Also you should be able to download stuff at your house before you run off. Watch a video that's already been downloaded = no bandwidth usage and no buffer times. Win/win

Both Android and iOS can show you what applications used all of your data.

For me, it's Pandora.

Since June 3, I have

8.7 gb Twitter
5.6 gb YouTube
5.4 gb Safari
2.3 gb Spotify (I thought it would cache songs like on PC but maybe not all of them...or ads are huge)
1.2 gb Mail
1.2 gb App Store (I think my wifi died while I was updating huge-ass hearthstone)

cellular used.

Twitter and Mail are also storing 3/4 gb total because of their awful caching.

I honestly have no idea how that happened. Maybe autoplay wrecked me before I turned it off. Or maybe gifs are the killer. Idk what the app is doing sometimes...

But it's twitter!

There's 1000 bytes in a kilobyte and 1000 kilobytes in a megabyte and 1000 megabytes in a gigabyte.
(ish)

Then you've read 8.7 gigabytes or 8,700 megabytes or 8,700,000 kilobytes or 8,700,000,000 bytes.
If each keyboard character is 8 bytes then you've read 1,087,500,000 characters. Assuming each tweet was 100 characters long, you've read 10,875,000 tweets in the last month alone.

Assuming each tweet takes 5 seconds to read then you've spent 54,375,000 seconds or 906,250 minutes or 15,104 hours or 629 days reading tweets. In the last month.

You spend too much time on twitter.
My math is flawless.

Ah, shit. My AS3Utils library is actually a framework and I've been trying to force it to be a library.
There's too many internal dependencies. I should just make it a framework and let it be that.

Eh, that's not a bad thing I suppose..
More Github projects

It's not when my 30 minute break is nothing but waiting for a video to load.

Yeah, my Spotify playlists and some favourite albums are downloaded, but I waste so much time on reddit looking at videos and gifs on the train, that's probably what wastes it (as well as snapchat and other shit).
