Recognised as “The Best Digital Piano for Students”

lolzcat:

Wow, it’s been recognised.

points, “That is a piano.”

moonburn:

This, with an instrument.

points at moonburn, “That is not a piano.”

It’s funny that the term ‘sparky’ is about something terrible that’d happen for an electrician. Maybe developers should be called ‘crashies’.

Watered-down humour

Phreakazoid:

At night dewpoint in Syd during summer might be 17-19. In brisbane it would be more like 22-24.

lolzcat:

Aircon ftw.

kristina:

Yeah seriously.

Carlfish:

What else can you dew.

lolzcat:

That joke really put a damper on things.

Carlfish:

I’m a bit of a wet blanket.

kristina:

Make the moist of it?

What does one do when one finds a FitBit in a meeting room these days?

moonburn:

Write a blog post, shared with all staff, title of "I'm leaving", body has image of FitBit with text "…this at reception in Sydney."

It's a pune, or a play on words.

Jirra:

I am working two days a week, will be three days once I can get another day of daycare.

moonburn:

Atlassian should build a creche. Like the Google.

Carlfish:

Put it in multiple offices.

Carlfish:

So it's a distributed creche.

Wobin:

I mean, if you can execute arbitrary code already, you can already cover up whatever tracks you might make in your attack.

dennilan:

Javascript is arbitrary code, no?

Carlfish:

Javascript is _very_ arbitrary code.

Siri can’t even fucking put a reminder in without me telling her to 5 times

If someone can figure out how to write that they should get a Nobel peace prize

dennilan:

Just use machine learning

dennilan:

Also big data

dave:

Yeah sick and docker and mongo

dave:

She’ll be right ayy

virtualwolf:

Don’t forget the blockchain!

virtualwolf:

Gotta work that in somewhere.

Nothing makes me hate autocorrect more than when I'm transcribing posts where typos are part of the joke.

furgin:

Vavle haven't done a good game since Steam.

Carlfish:

Portle 2 was nice.

furgin:

Except Portlet.

Carlfish:

Ah, Portlet, where you had a gun that gave early 00's Java programmers panic attacks.

furgin:

That was the best game. I still have nightmares.

furgin:

It's OK though, because as soon as you get it working the industry will move on because the idea was stupid in the first place.

Twitter goes to 280…

dave:

I don't get how people made such a big deal about the character increase. Maybe I don't understand Twitter.

virtualwolf:

I liked the force-conciseness.

Carlfish:

Worst Jedi power ever.

Carlfish:

Next, we cover our co-workers in whiteboard paint so we can write on anyone, any time.

Carlfish:

Although it really sucks to be the person who spends an entire week with “DO NOT ERASE” on their buttock.

Jirra:

Especially if it’s like the whiteboard we’ve had covered in text since someone wrote “DO NOT ERASE UNTIL 6.0 SHIPS”

lolzcat:

OK, that cruffin was delicious.

lolzcat:

One of the devs in my team was trying to convince me that it wasn’t nice, which i know think was a plot to try and get me to give him my cruffin.

moonburn:

What is cruffin?

lolzcat:

Crossaint-muffin hybrid.

moonburn:

SYNTAX ERROR

Jirra:

If your argument with the dev served to trigger a plot, it was actually a McCruffin.

What is your greatest weakness?

Furgin:

If there is one thing I do, and do a lot, it's self-analysis, even to a fault.

Furgin:

I probably do it too much.

Furgin:

Maybe I don't actually.

Furgin:

Actually I probably do.

Naked Shorts

Jirra:

tl;dr Don't re-use feature flags.

Wobin:

"Revealing that the system was systematically sending naked shorts."

Wobin:

Phwoar

Carlfish:

"Naked shorts" is a contradiction in terms.

Wobin:

Pft. I've heard of "Dress Shorts".

No half-measures

Jirra:

In a meeting this morning: “We don't want to do a half-arsed job on this” “No, all our work needs to be fully-arsed”

Moonburn:

“We're going to have to commit both cheeks on this one.”
