Definitely down in Hungary. I think it's kinda worldwide.

I often find that I am the only person among my friends/colleagues who can manage tabs. At work I have Firefox open for casual browsing and Chrome for development, and I usually don't have more than 15 tabs open altogether.

I was about 13 years old when I started to code just for fun, on an old 100MHz 386, using QBasic. Before that I watched my friend hack away in BASIC on a C64.

I was in CS-specialized class in middle school, but that was kind of a joke.

I am still doing my BSc in CS at the university. The first "dollar" (forint) I earned was back in 2011 when I worked as a non-registered PHP developer for a startup here in town then in Budapest during the summer.

After that, I got employed as a full-time Junior Software Engineer at an international company last August. So I've been here for a year, picking up a lot of experience and earning OK. It is not exactly easy to manage university studies and full-time work, but I can manage.

Well, I'm working for an established international IT company. We are developing desktop, mobile and mostly web applications for well-known clients across the globe.

I am currently working on a huge (for us anyway) web project with 100+ people actively developing every corner of our infrastucture.

So my day is like: Arriving at the office around 08:30-09:00. On Tuesdays I have an inhouse English training with a native speaker, which means a couple of guys just talking about kind of everything.

After arriving/English training, I get myself something to drink from the kitchen, turn my workstation on and check on my mails which are typically not many, so I got through them under a minute. I fire up my dropdown console to fetch the latest changes on our develop branch (we use Git and GitHub), log into our issue tracking system and into the CMS we are using.

After that I start working on any task I have assigned to me. I put on my headphones, open Spotify, select a neat album I like at the moment and off we go to Sublime and Eclipse-lands.

I interact with testers, UI guys, squad leads, technical architects and other backend guys regularly via Skype. Our team consists of fellow Hungarians, British-Indians, Frenchmen and Belorussians, so it is pretty diverse. My day is usually about implementing new features and handing them over to the QA guys when done. We have a standup meeting at 2 PM when the team discusses the status of the stories which are in the scope of our current iteration.

We have a lot of fun during the day, joking around while coding. I always bump into coworkers in the hallway or in the kitchen and we usually have a little discussion.

On Thursdays we have a so-called "Beer Lesson" at a local pub where a couple of guys from the office and anyone interested get together to have some drinks and speak English only with the guidance of our English "teacher".

Other comments cover it well, all highly recommended ways to deal with a bad day I think.

What I would personally do is sit down and clear my mind for 10 or 20 minutes. Meditate, breathe slowly and deeply. Let your thoughts race and get out of your mind. Think of all the things you have achieved, all the great people in your life. Let that remind you that it is "just" a lost deal.

Then, go out and drink a few with the guys.

This is exactly what I did when we started our current project at work, on which we use Git. I also made aliases gl, gr, gb. gc means 'git commit -m' for me, and I have gco for 'git checkout', gcb for 'git checkout -b', gpod for 'git push origin develop' and gpud for 'git push upstream develop'. Made my life so much easier. :)

Deep Breathing and switching off my mind is one of my goals too. I am also trying to meditate but all I do is think about all kinds of stuff. Good luck with your goal, mate!

On our current project (which is quite big) we use Mingle.

Computer Science student at the University of Debrecen, Hungary, while working professionally as a Java developer at an established multinational company for almost a year now.

The good, old-fashioned way: I store my music on my hard drive (lots of gigs), and using MusicBee for playback and management. Awesome audio player! I am a huge music enthusiast and if a release doesn't come with album art, I download the picture from the net and put it in the metadata.

As a Hungarian developer with two Node based small side projects so far, it is nice to see something like this :) Too bad I don't live in Budapest. Keep this up! :)

I'm not quite sure why anyone would browse through GitHub commits. I wouldn't, but that's just me. Presentation is nice though. :)

Well played, JetBrains. :)
