    I can’t browse lemmy or play phone games while I read docs, but I can while I wait for the program to compile, load itself into a docker container, deploy to the test server, load my browser, and then fail to have fixed that bug I was looking at. Oh well, let me change one character and try again, it only takes about 15 minutes per attempt.

      What a horrible pipeline you have. There’s surely some way you could speed up that process?

        compiling is like doing a poo at work. you could do it faster if you tried, but it’s much more fun to browse your phone instead

          Meh, I guess I’ve been at much more humane workplaces, where it feels nicer to get my work done efficiently and then no one cares if I leave much earlier.

    Ahh, or just reading the changelog…

    It wasn’t 8 hours for me, but the last Nimbus skin of Kodi broke some ratings due their recent API upgrade or something like that… I was doing all kinds of troubleshooting, but the solution was stated in the changelog… Just clean up ratings cache 😃

    My work doesn’t really have any documentation so the way I find out how to do something is by Cmd+Shift+Fing the code for relevant things

      the true corporate dev experience. Oh yeah we don’t need documentation because our senior dev (who definitely won’t leave for a better salary within the next two weeks) knows it all
