I liked the one where he asked: if an iPhone is offline can it it tell the server about it π€
Does he even know what CTO means? -
BM3224477yI don’t blame him. He was born an idiot. I glad the dumb CEO for hiring his friend. His idiot friend will ruin this company.
-
BM3224477y@theScientist he fucker is 10 years my junior and he thinks he knows shit!
I did some background checking on him. It tired out that he did don’t quit Intel or join us, he was fired! -
Oh lord, it pains me to read this.. the ignorance of this CTO is to much to handle.
-
sinisas3237yYou have to look at it as a blessing: imagine you are like him, now, wouldn't that be a tragedy?
-
MaxS1177yffs... what a moron.
Well I think you can use his stupidity for your advantage... Just tell him some random tech words and make him feel good about himself...
Eventually he'll get off your back -
This guy is pushing the very concept of incompetence to whole new levels. Is he married? I'm just wondering who ties his shoelaces for him in the mornings.
-
"What is MySQL? Why aren’t you using a database instead?"
legitimate question ^_^ -
deMark4257yMay the RNG Gods have mercy on your soul.
...
...
Unless it was the RNG Gods that created this muppet of a CTO in the first place in which case.... Pray they allow for rerolls? -
IsDev8047ySorry for the non-english expression, but porco dio, i hate when dumb people have some power
-
Archsharp937yOh god get out of there. If i were you, i'd have died a thousend deaths just because of facepalming :o
-
My fucking god, this dude gave me cancer... remotely. I can’t imagine being face to face. His mother should have swallowed...
-
Ederbit7267yThat's a joke right? RIGHT?! I hope you exagerrated because changing Backend languafe on a whim doesn't sound fun. Don't even mention the offline API call lol
-
mundo0349117ySometimes a company needs a dumb dude that knows how to direct.
But the dumb dude has to understand and aknowledge it and really know how to direct.
This dumb guy seems to feel smart, that is very bad.
I am sorry, kick the crotch to reboot the brain. -
techdoc7107y@BM32 if I were u I'd take advantage of the situation. You can easily tell him things will take twice as long, and just work on side projects (either for urself, or make more $$ by freelancing)!
-
@gitpull No kidding, I literally, literally just closed my eyes for a few seconds and opened them again in the hope that I read it wrong! Mother of fucking god, this is. just. idk I don't have words for this level of retardness.
My condoleances @BM32! -
awnz5697yThose questions seem legit to me, here are my answers
1. GitHub is a website just like PornHub
2. JSON is famous movie series starring Matt Damon
3. Array is collection of objects
4. Get is used to get data from post and post is used to post data to get
5. iPhone cannot do that but Android phone can.
6. There are lots of online convertor for .php to .java
7. For .java to node.js is paid service there are no free services.
8. MySQL stores data in text files. Now onwards I will use MongoDB (Database)
9. NULL is nothing but a pointer to this -
BM3224477y@Sunsette yeah I have to smile and pretend everything is ok so I get my shares. It’s not easy to hold my tongue and my fist!
-
BM3224477y@SHA-16384 hahahah, you’re hired. You seem to have all the necessary qualifications!
When can you start? -
BM3224477y@teadrinker Apparently this guy is married he has a kid and he lives with his mother also. He also claims to have a PhD. I should have his credentials investigated. I have no idea how he got his job at Intel but I can understand why he didn’t last long there.
-
does the ceo know that the cto is wasting time & money big time?
I mean if you built the backend in PHP for 11 months and then another 11 months for the Java one, and another 11 for the node.js one i see 3+ years of resources wastet. -
BM3224477y@Ederbit no it’s not a joke. Sadly I couldn’t edit my message and add more comments because I ran out of time. This app is the five-minute grace period in which you can edit your original message. That was a lot more bullshit that the sky said that I couldn’t add to my message. I tell you what I die a little every day working with this asshole
-
BM3224477y@falmesino I absolutely intend to do that. Maybe I should call Homeland security and have his visa application re-examination
-
@BM32 Strangely, after I posted that I thought "hmm... I wonder if he still lives with his mother..." !
-
@gitpush apple is working on a future technology which they codenamed SMS. You can send 160 character text using it to a number even not when internet connection is not available. The server will read the text and respond accordingly. Though bloody androids had already cloned the project and already working on the same
-
Dont remind of sony xperia ... Sony service fucked me badly ..Sidewise
Damn sony xperia XA -
BM3224477y@chiragiem36 it doesn’t matter if it’s good or it’s bad. A leader (CTO) should be able to justify all his directives and have his deductions based on logic, budget and time.
-
@BM32 atleast he was wise enough to switch tech stack twice.π Now he know that two more languages exist. A costly lesson. But sure, gonna help him with next company ( if he make it to?)
-
Another unqualified C level executive controlling technical roles, why am I not surprised?
-
No reason to hate the guy if he's unqualified, I don't think it's his fault they hired him.
Now would I work at a place where I thought I was severely unqualified? Probably not, but for enough money, maybe π -
@BM32 Maybe it's a blue collar thing. My background is blue collar and military prior to getting into this industry. I figured it was a well known saying. In any case, it's one I've heard all of my working life, haha. There's often merit to it as well, apparently.
In any case, I feel your pain, and I hope it works out for you. -
s0nic1211207yI feel you! I know people always give on about the Java/Javascript confusion, but I literally got into a fight with my boss because he wouldn't believe me that they were not the same thing.
-
BM3224477y@chramori176 it is his fault. He deceived everyone. there’s plenty of blame to go around that he’s an asshole And doesn’t deserve to be in my vicinity
-
Wait, did you rewrite the codes from php to java for real? Just because that kind of CTO said? OMG. You deserve a better company, leave dear.
-
BM3224477y@magic0822 yes, we started to do that on Monday. I presented my opposition to my CTO by he said I have to do as the CTO demands or I should find a new job.
Needless today I have stated to look for a new job. I can’t take this BS any more. -
BM3224477yI had posted todo on another thread as it’s related, I thought I’d post it here...
The dumbass CTO emailed me this weekend asking “what is big data?”
I replied: “...it’s when you use a large font in your code...”
He thanked me. I bet he will be at some presentation and will reference using large fonts in an IDE -
@BM32 really is he that dumb ? or you are just trying to win us against him, so that you can persuade CEO to fire him, for personal gain or some other reasons ?
-
koukou1947y@AnonyOps if that happens there is a serious possibility he will ask her to write a whole OS, a more secure one you knowπ because why not?!
-
I dont you just say to the boss that he is not qualified for the job? I wouldnt stand for that kind of dumbness.
-
BM3224477y@jalebiBhai My CEO is a dick. The less I say about in the better as he is the one that introduced me to DevRant!
Anyway I’ve started to look for new work so I don’t care about that company anymore. I don’t like the stress and I don’t like to be demoralized by dumb colleagues -
BM3224477y@valium123 That’s if he actually went to school. He claims he has a PhD but won’t say which university he attended. Kind of suspect, do you think?
-
BM3224477y@WorstVarNames Well it doesn’t help that they are best friends and they’re from the same country. So I’m sure when is helping the other for the countless favors. Who knows? But the bottom line is I’ve stopped caring.
-
@BM32 you don't worry ... I am from india. In case there is some kind of widespread protest, trust me, my support will live with you
-
I was having doubt, since you liked that comment where I asked if he/she/other is india. Now I am more sure.
Let me go through events once again. Maybe there's a clue I am missing out -
Could be pakistani too... Are you from states ? But not many pakistanis make it to US, specially in software industry
Hmm -
BM3224477y@jalebiBhai I try to like everyone’s comments as a way of thanking them for posting on my thread. I’m new here am I doing this correctly? Or should I not be hitting the plus button?
But I hit plus on your message because you hit the nail on the head! It was my subtle way to let you know you guessed correctly. -
BM3224477y@jalebiBhai I think the less said about his Ethnicity the better. I don’t want to come off as a racist or anything mean like that. I don’t think it’s his background that’s the problem I think the fact is dishonest man is the issue
-
Agreed. But I also believe ethnicity also plays a role in developing a person's mindset
-
@BM32 you should 'out' him in an anonymous blog post and just share the link here, so that we all know who this idiot is.
-
can't even Complete it and started laughing with "FU*K". Why do these people even exits. Makes me think that I am Over Qualified for the CTO position in your company. * Proud Moment *.
-
BM3224477y@valium123 I think he may actually be a member here so that’s why I’m watching what I say. I don’t want to get fired and not have a job secured elsewhere
-
If he is here then he would not wait to be named. You name him or not, he will know who are you
-
BM3224477y@jalebiBhai I think I will name and shame him and quite possibly post his LinkedIn webpage here when the start up failed
-
I'd just leave the freaking place... With such dumb people at the wheel of the company I doubt it would be an interesting job anyways....
Surround yourself with idiots and they're gonna transform you into an idiot too. Surround yourself with better people than you and become a better person yourself. -
If that CTO were any dumber and any more arrogant, he could become president of the United States.
-
@conmarap That's not an answer. First of all, there were only a lot of opinions like "PHP is crap", but nobody really says why it's crap. Opinions, no facts. Secondly, I was asking you, why do *you* think PHP is the worst? Because so many others say it's crap? Have you even programmed PHP yourself?
-
@TerriToniAX my post there answers the question of whether I've programmed in it. I have roughly 5 years of experience in it and I can, confidently, say that it sucks.
-
@conmarap Ah, looked again and there it was. In your comment there you say "there are things PHP is just horrible at.".
Such as?...
I have 11 yrs experience of PHP and sure, it has its caveats like all languages, but I don't agree that there would be no worse language. I haven't tried all the 2000+ or so (anyone has the figures on how many languages there are in the world?) programming languages, but based on those that I do have experience from, I'd say Basic is the worst. It's a charming, fun and lovely toy, but useless for any serious development. -
@TerriToniAX lol Brainfuck is an even worse language, It's a charming, fun and lovely toy, but useless for any serious development. I don't hate php i just don't see why I would use it when I can use node Js lol. I think languages are very subjective and you will have fans for all languages e.g. https://red-gate.com/simple-talk/...
-
@gitpush CTO stands for Cool Title Officer. Everybody knows that. Wink wink @BinaryProvider
-
@gitpush i thought so. The "Cool" in CTO is something are bestowed upon you by others. Nothing to take lightly! Actually, formally, I think the CEO simply appoints the coolest guy in the company.
-
bb6xt3257yI don't own an iPhone but I'd imagine number 5 is possible. I expect there should be an event that is emitted when the phone is about to shutdown, a background service could listen for this event and call the API.
-
BM3224477y@bb6xt the clue was in the question. It’s offline.
In our case, the device goes offline when the user enters an area without any connectivity, no WiFi, no cellular.
In other cases, as in your example, shutting down; iOS doesn’t report to Apple it’s last known location. However, this data is never diaper to you as the owner of the device or is as I. Develops of services. The iPhone also periodically turned itself back on just to report back to Apple its location and then shuts down again. -
BM3224477yThanks everyone for your kind comments. Working g at this hellhole has been, hell!
I’ve decided to leave and form my own new start up. My husband has been very encouraging and is helping me to launch business. We will be producing a mobile app. He will make the iPhone app and I will make the backend. Now I just need to find a good Android developer. Can anyone help me? -
sinisas3237y@BM32 I would warmly recommend you to take a look at unity3d. It is an excellent multi-platform framework with compiler (native app) that can be used for apps and games alike.
More than 50% of games on AppStore are written in Unity.
Ppl however have wrong perception that it is for games only. It is extremely powerful, GPU-based framework that can do absolutely anything u want.
You can also write your own plug-in for it in case there is any function that you need, and does not already exist.
Nothing beats it. And on a button click you can get native app package for all of the following systems:
Android, Android TV, iOS, Apple TV, OSX, Windows, Linux, Windows Mobile.
Coding is done using either C# or JavaScript. -
sinisas3237yP.S.
It can be used for free, with Unity logo shown as splash screen. You can use it like that during development and testing.
I don't wanna leave link here (not sure about policy on sharing links on devRant), but will be first link in Google search :) -
@shaji Question 1 actually isn't that bad, after all github hasn't been around for very long. Questions 2...3 are perfectly legit if you're new to web dev, questions 4 and 9 are legit if you're new to any dev. The rest of the questions are just dumb.
-
Even I knows more than your CTO and I have no formal studies in CS.
What an amazing company you work at. -
yaroster135yThe "Because Facebook uses it" one is already amazing but the "If an iPhone is offline can it call an API to say that it is" for me is 100% CTO genius.

My dumb CEO just hired an even dumber CTO. The new CTO asked me the following questions...
1. What is GitHub?
2. What is JSON?
3. What’s an array?
4. What is Get and what is Post?
5. When an iPhone is offline, can it call an API on our server to tell us it’s offline?
6. I know you’ve spent 11 month the writing this backend in PHP but can you change it to Java now?
Me: Why?
Dumb CTO: Because it’s better.
Me: How?
Dumb CTO: because it is.
7. I know you’ve started to rewrite this codebase I Java but can you convert it to Node.JS now?
Me: Why?
Dumb CTO: Because Facebook uses it.
