The entire modern gaming ecosystem is a scam.
I added The Crew: Motorfest trial version to my library for free.
Click on Install and it downloads 43 GB of data.
Now it's time to launch.
Click on launch and Ubisoft Connect takes over and it starts downloading another 43 GB??????
WTF ??
If I can't even get the trial version of a game without nearly wanting to kill myself, how does the company expect me to pay full price for it?
Piracy FTW. Fuck all the companies.16 -
in your opinion, what is the most important feature of a programming language? For me it’s getting paid for using it.16

Coffee mugs should have an alarm for when the coffee is about to get cold. I'm too focused on work to care about the coffee.9

competitive salary
so competitive we refuse to compete by actually stating it
by this point I might just have some fun and not apply to jobs persay but just write funny blurbs to them about their ads
I think I'm finding I just don't wanna work with all these technologies1 -
One of my parents likely has cancer (waiting for results to confirm), my work is currently cutting benefits, I am reaching a new level of burnout where my voice just cracks during meetings and I have terrible sore throat afterwards and the only project I was looking forward to, is deprioritized due to company doing bs (so much bs that there’s a team that expects progress even though it has been officially deprioritized). And don’t ask me about the junior, I don’t even have energy anymore to rant.
People ask me how am I, and I’m wondering how much more shit needs to happen before it’s acceptable to reply “I’m regretfully sober”6 -
Company wants me to give a rough estimate of developing a new feature in a distributed legacy monolit. They told me they would inform me the next day and want the estimate on the same day for a project that will probably take 2 devs 3-4 months. I ask for more time and info, give the estimate and they say it "feels too much". I mean ok. Then why am I even estimating? If in the first place the client has only X money than do the project for X and it doesn't really matter how much work it is, does it?4

Yes, yes, keep asking detailed "how are we going" pressure questions to me, surely that will improve my performance and not make me lose focus!7

Why can't we move standup to a little later in the day? Like, just before lunch?
I can't seem to get going with any work before 9am standup, takes ±20mins to get into it and focused, then another ±20mins afterwards to get into it again.
I miss the days when I only had one 30-minute weekly progress check-in with my manager which involved weekly tasks, larger project updates, all of the stupid agile ceremonies in one 30-minute session. Got a lot of shit done.9 -
no fucking documentation
no fucking explaination
and your example doesn't even work
let's just run around in circles until we all die
waiting to exit this 🤡 world
yeah, i know, everyone is like "why can't you chill more"
because this what we are stuck doing 8-9 hour a day!!!!!! this is literally our lives just wasting away!!!! and it's not even fun anymore; you can't enjoy it if everyone is so fucking incompetant any step at being productive is fucking battle
god so sick of it4 -
In standup I talked about how I am blocked on two tasks and what I need from the people who can unblock them.
Business Analyst who runs the standup/acts as some type of scrum master thing then asks me what I need to unblock the tasks.
I JUST FUCKING TOLD YOU, HOLY SHIT.1 -
If you just git add . by instinct, you're already dead inside
Instead, consider checking out the diffs of your changes before staging them, and then stage the files or directories individually
Of course I'm saying this to complain about my colleagues who stage and commit things they shouldn't, it probably doesn't apply to small side projects, but staging individually is probably a good habit to have32 -
Microsoft has the audacity to put "Get the new Outlook (It's free for Windows Users!)" on my lock screen. Extraordinarily annoying because:
- It's just the web app packaged in the SHITTIEST electron wrapper you ever did see.
- IT FUCKING HAS ADS8 -
I've had today a meeting with the CEO regarding some designs. Here have some quotes that he made:
1. So you can click, click, click, click, click
2. numbers are so complicated so I just said something
3. I like the vibe in Amsterdam
4. We are doing a rebranding. Our rebranding document is the color of the 2 blues and one orange
5. I've to ask my wife for the design (with no design experience) to make the rebranding documents
6. In <the app our technicians/support use>, you can brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrb
7. This is what differeniate us between most applications; FAVORITE SQUARES
8. I never watch that mess. I don't even know if it works or have ever worked with it. (talking about a simple table view)
9. You have been reported to the admins (in an admin-only application for our customers)
10. It's always nice to see developers think; when I don't think
11. But it's already an iPhone (when looking at android designs & cries in largest userbase in my country)7 -
we need you to do migrations in a legacy codebase which includes changes against a tool you will not have access to test against1

I currently have a design meeting with the CEO. He joined the meeting on his iPhone mini and the designs are for a desktop app.
