Status: Production db borked, there's no backup. I haven't correctly guessed that the javascript ORM with default settings completely disables (not defers, disables) FKs while doing migrations, so that
ON UPDATE CASCADE
didn't do what it was supposed to. That was the most important FK connecting two business domains. So much for sane defaults.

@Tsaukpaetra If you try to open it, does it not show the popup anymore? I mean, if it still does, I don't really see the problem. Or rather, I see, but people click on links and ignore the warning already, so this is just convenience to avoid stupidly long copy-pasted nonsense query strings and such

Yeah it's still the same thing.

That's pretty standard on the web (and another reason you should use plain text email), but this implementation is fucked up. The displayed text is neither the URL nor the text entered.

You mean someone might be clicking a link thinking it goes to a Rick Astley song and get something else?

The db has been ~75% fixed overnight. Someone noticed that a particularly noisy service logs some ids from both sides of the broken FK together, so by writing a script that digs out these ids (with regex and a simple 2-state machine), uploading them to the db and joining with three other tables we could recover the relationship in most rows. I wonder if they will notice something's wrong. Probably not, because things that didn't appear in the log didn't work anyway.

Not my company. This client repeatedly breaks the staging environment by removing hardware and data synchronization from foreign systems, so we started testing on prod and he's apparently fine with it. And there's nothing about backups or sysadmin jobs (which we do anyway) in the contract.

So?
The user didn't enter
www.example.com
. The user entered some markdown akin to[this is my nice example](www.example.com]
. And then it normalized the link text, not the URL. It might as well have changed it to[this is my stupid example](www.example.com]
if it is already messing with arbitrary user text.

It's called "earning a bit on the side" apparentlyThere's plenty of news articles about this happening in Poland too. Like every other month the police raids the courier's flat and finds $100k worth of "lost" stuff. I've had a courier fake the signature on the receipt once. Nowdays I only use the automated parcel lockers which are plentiful here. I've only seen them fail once when the touchscreen backlight failed and the guys at the helpdesk were absolutely sure that the device is fine, because of course there were no diagnostics for such a trivial problem.

Of this particular issue? Certainly. Because is involves being stuck between management and Apple. One of which expects the other to be reasonable.

Not sure if the bigger here is JIRA, or the fact that you put "To paraphrase..." at the end of your paraphrase, instead of as a clause at the beginning.
Normally it'd be JIRA in a landslide, but this one is pretty tough....

Status: While I was in a meeting, I found the bug I was searching for last week (a failure to route messages in the test network I was using). Turned out to be caused by something I was doing to handle Python's rather loose typing, where I had made a checked type constraint be too tight and ended up rejecting some critical cases. Making the constraint looser (and all the downstream changes that implied) fixed the bug, but it was a devil of a bug to find because it caused no type errors and the failure was reported a long way away from where the problem was caused because if the degree to which things are plugged into other meta-interfaces for various things.

Expensive items here tend to need a special delivery code to receive. The delivery guy can't easily fake the code, so might as well deliver the parcel right.

Status: Stressed. This is just the middle part. I'll relay the rest after the convention because too tired now.
The days leading up to a convention are always stressful. No matter how hard I try to keep everything together, everything always goes missing. I spent forever searching for my tablet that I need to run credit cards. Located it during the unsuccessful search for my work badge, put it aside, lost it, and rediscovered it.
Next I needed the small container that I keep everything else in. Tape, markers, pens, Mario Kart bed sheets (to put over the tables), notebook, Square reader, etc. Could not find it anywhere. But I had pre-emptively run out earlier tonight and bought another couple of sets of bed sheets just in case (also as a gambit to force the sets I had to reappear, the same way I ended up with three Nintendo DSes of various vintages). No dice though.
I have tape and markers and pens all over the place from, you guessed it, buying more instead of these futile searches. I only just found the Square reader - inside a roll of tape - by dumb luck. Last was my business sign that I hang over my top shelves. I actually have two, one that was printed slightly offset and the corrected version. Of course the offset one is what I find but I should be grateful I found anything at this point.
So all that's really left is to hopefully find my old bed sheets and notebook. Right now I'm washing my cool retro T-shirts so I have them for the weekend. I've got to be up at 8AM to pick up a cargo van at 9AM. Please please please don't have a Seinfeld episode.
Oh, and my work iPhone wall plug that has mysteriously vanished. I was going to use it for wi-fi to run the card reader since I ran into a snag setting up my new phone. All of my personal equipment is Android so there's a plug differential. Hotels around here tend to have USB-A plugs if anything and this stupid thing is Lightning/USB-C. Meanwhile all of my Android charger stuff is MicroUSB/USB-A or USB-C/USB-A. I had the damned thing with me when I came home from having pneumonia so where the hell could it have really gone? Watch it magically reappear the instant I leave for the convention.
And will you take a motherfucking hint Dropbox and die? Why are you mysteriously trying to launch and update now after years of disuse? Fuck the hell off already.
Edit: Speak of the devil. Went to make sure my flashlight hadn't disappeared for the hundredth time and there's the plug laying on the floor. You God-damned little monster.

How?! "This is my box of convention stuff I need to run my booth. I lined it with some stupid ugly designer duct tape so it stands out. Stuff I need goes in and stays there. Stuff that needs charging stays with the rest of the stuff that needs charging, but just in case the box also has a set of cords."

Status: trying to convince coworkers that doing reports containing aggregations, grouping and subqueries with an object-oriented query builder and GraphQL is not exactly the best idea. They don't even know how to do it, but they just can't accept simply writing SQL and binding params. Is this sunk cost fallacy? "All these gigabytes of npm packages, all for nothing? We'll just write queries like in PHP in 2005?"
