Someone's having a bad, bad day...

I've handed my resignation and given notice 45 days ago, and my boss still doesn't believe me. It will be quite interesting to see how he reacts on my last day.

C++ application running on Linux. If customer makes a mistake, I log CustomerIsDumb to kernel message buffer.

Ex-employer contacting me after 6 months asking for 2FA codes into their system which I handed over a week before leaving... Sorry guys (not really!)

Maybe not so smart after all...

Recently bought an Adafruit Industries board which controls stepper motors over i2c. It has a Phython library, but my code is in C++. Decided to convert the Python code to C++ to get started quickly. Behold the magic line that made everything work:

std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(10));

I can't believe Python's ridiculous performance is being harnessed to let the field generated by electromagnets in a stepper motor to grow to sufficient proportions to affect movement. Without the said sleep(), the stepper motor just vibrates with my C++ code. Not sure if the library was created with Python's performance in mind, or they simply didn't think about back EMF in electromagnets...

Four years without taking a vacation...

What the shitbiscuit is happening with trying to build a single window, 200 line node project? Who thought it is a good idea to use ShitScript to write desktop applications?

Be responsible for something like Heartbleed (as in, the developer who introduced the bug).

The money I earn affects my life...

Upgraded my project from .NET 6 to .NET 7.

Looks like some kid who writes shit in JavaScript and pats themselves on the back has had some input on System.Text.Json

Learn enough math to solve the problem Chat GPT (and two university math professors) have been unable to solve :(

The hardware is ready, the software is ready, and the only missing piece is to align a laser pointer with a Lambert's conformal conic projected map... I thought Chat GPT would be able to at least provide me with the necessary formulæ, but not...
