A Day in the Life of a Programmer

Amy needs help with ULS's Spireon integration. Trailers are not showing up. Investigating... Found ULS has 2 Spireon accounts. Only one was being updated. Fixed. Amy found a heading bug in the Spireon import... on it... heading not available from the import Found an email bug. Fixed. Followup Eleos turn by turn issue - Resolved. Brandon had a strange password issue. Settlement PDF 1:28 PM I'm getting stacks of interruptions. My interruptions are getting interrupted. This destroys my concentration... I'm screaming inside. 2:55 Back to settlement...

I forgot I did Us Trans Lo Co yesterday. I such a small ticked that I forgot. Siedhof settlement doesn't match the pdf Jason said it appears that they are using different queries. investigating... This is some really old code 2011ish. I have 2 files that do approximately the same thing but have diverged. My action plan is to use the one that is considered the authority as the scaffold for the other, the pdf.  I now have the correct data on the pdf but it needs to be formatted correctly. This evening I worked on the  iDispatcher Mapbox issue. Determined that moving to  Mapbox GL  will require me to remap some JSON. Not a big deal, just time consuming.

My coordination is a little off today. Need coffee. 9:05 got coffee, read some news. 9:25 now where was I? 9:45 - 10:00 daily meeting 10:30 - 11:15 got a haircut. 1:50 break 3:00 attempted to help support troubleshoot some wnl payroll issues. Look like some loads may have extra settlement headers

Last month my Mapbox bill was $39. A couple of days ago Mapbox sent users an email stating that they were adopting a "fair" pricing model. (I'm paraphrasing). And that all customers will be forced into it in November 2019. They went further to explain that 75% of users will see a decrease in their bill and 25% would see a "small" increase. They said you can wait until November or you can opt-in now, but you won't be able to otp-out if you do. So, I'm thinking I'm a small user (1.8M tiles per month) and as such, I most likely will see a decrease. I opted-in. Two days later, that would be today, my billing cycle closed and they billed me retroactively at the new rate. $444.75! That is an increase of 1140%. I wonder what they would call a large increase? Needless to say, I have removed my credit card from my Mapbox account and I deactivated my usage tokens, lodged a complaint with their support team, and started looking for a new provider of map t

I had a doctor appointment this morning. He wants to see me back in 3 months probably to review the changes in my medicine he made today. Arrived at work at 10:00 AM Made coffee settled in. 10:25 Brandon verified that the changes in El Paso are working. 10:33 Brandon has asked for 2 mods to BTW     1. direct messaging to the driver - nixed by Jerry     2. need to implement drop and hook - drop a trailer and hook up a different one. 10:39 Brandon has expanded the request to implementing all stop types 10:45 Shop conference. New investors coming onboard - probably. Sept 1 is the signing. 10:52 Starting work on Drop and Hook 11:19 Setting up a load with a drop and hook 11:54 Drop is working 11:58 Lunch 12:12 goofing off 12:17 Naptime, I had a bout of insomnia last night. 12:36 next on the list is Spot Trailer... 1:32 writing a test to view the load data 2:04 PM Exhaustion is setting in. It's getting hard to concentrate. Insomnia sucks. 2:05 Went for a walk.

I work for a small software house. We produce a SaaS (Software as a Service ) TMS ( Transportation Management System ). My boss, Jerry. has asked all members of the dev team to write a paragraph about what we accomplished every day at the end of the day. I can't just do that. I'm forgetful, I don't like to brag. So I plan to track my activities throughout the day and then summarize them at the end of the day. Here goes. Day One: 2019-07-25 9:00 - 9:43 CFC settlement 9:45 - 10:00 Standup meeting. 10:05 AM Starting blogging my daily activities:  Working on CFC custom driver settlement. I'm having to relearn how to do this, which is part of why I don't have a completion estimate. I have only done one custom settlement, that was VFJ in October 2018.  I'm using VFJs as guide currently. 10:26 AM Amy found a zipcode bug in the Appian import. Looking at that now. 10:34 found a copy/paste typo - uploaded the fix to CFC on Buffalo 10:35 Back to settleme
