Every computer programmer. :)

My screens have a different height, but luckily I solved the problem with c++

The joys of web dev

I'm no longer quitting with formal letters.

😥😥😥😥

Programming in a tree. I usually climb up here and read, but I decided to code, and I didn't drop my laptop :D

I covered the screen with my hand because my code's ugly, and I don't want anyone to see it lol.

*Trying to finish up this project I'm doing*

Me: "Fuck this shit I'm done shit doesn't work"

*non-dev girlfriend sits in front of computer*

GF: "I believe this line shouldn't be here it messes up what happens in the loop. Or atleast that's what it looks"

*checking it*

Me: "So what's your ring size again"

Sister: today I discovered two new libraries
Me: what lang?
She: what?

She was talking about real libraries xD

my girlfriend knows how to work with linux based systems and she does not like apple products. She's the one!

I had to add a "I'm not a robot" checkbox to protect an email address written in a page reachable only from our intranet. Boss asked, I executed.

Me: I’ve been in the web since 2006, of course i know html,css,javascript.
Also me: Google how to center a div.

Started sniffing the packets on a public wifi hotspot. Found someone was reading TheHackerNews and got excited.😲 Later realised it was myself. 😯

Fucking awesome. The 'encryption backdoor law' in Australia went through!

Now, whenever served with such warrants, companies which are active in Australia will have to pay hefty fines if they don't give encrypted messages to law enforcement in readable form. No matter whether this means just decrypting it with the keys they have or pushing backdoors/inject code into the messaging apps/services in order to extract the contents.

Now let's see how much the big companies really care about their users! (I'd expect them to pull out of Australia but the chance that this'll happen is as tiny as about nothing)

Dear team,

Train people well enough so they can leave

Anyone else put in headphones with absolutely no intention of listening to anything, just to make people less likely to bother you?
