This rant is a confession I had to make, for all of you out there having a bad time (or year), this story is for you.

Last year, I joined devRant and after a month, I was hired at a local company as an IT god (just joking but not far from what they expected from me), developer, web admin, printer configurator (of course) and all that in my country it's just called "the tech guy", as some of you may know.

I wasn't in immediate need for a full-time job, I had already started to work as a freelancer then and I was doing pretty good. But, you know how it goes, you can always aim for more and that's what I did.

The workspace was the usual, two rooms, one for us employees and one for the bosses (there were two bosses).

Let me tell you right now. I don't hate people, even if I get mad or irritated, I never feel hatred inside me or the need to think bad of someone. But, one of the two bosses made me discover that feeling of hate.

He had a snake-shaped face (I don't think that was random), and he always laughed at his jokes. He was always shouting at me because he was a nervous person, more than normal. He had a tone in his voice like he knew everything. Early on, after being yelled for no reason a dozen of times, I decided that this was not a place for me.

After just two months of doing everything, from tech support to Photoshop and to building websites with WordPress, I gave my one month's notice, or so I thought. I was confronted by the bosses, one of which was a cousin of mine and he was really ok with me leaving and said that I just had to find a person to replace me which was an easy task. Now, the other boss, the evil one, looked me on the eye and said "you're not going anywhere".

I was frozen like, "I can't stay here". He smiled like a snake he was and said "come on, you got this we are counting on you and we are really satisfied with how you are performing till now". I couldn't shake him, I was already sweating. He was rolling his eyes constantly like saying "ok, you are wasting my time now" and left to go to some basketball practice or something.

So, I was stuck there, I could have caused a scene but as I told you, one of the bosses was a cousin of mine, I couldn't do anything crazy. So, I went along with it. Until the next downfall.

I decided to focus on the job and not mind for the bad boss situation but things went really wrong. After a month, I realised that the previous "tech guy" had left me with around 20 ancient Joomla - version 1.0 websites, bursting with security holes and infested with malware like a swamp. I had never seen anything like it. Everyday the websites would become defaced or the server (VPN) would start sending tons of spam cause of the malware, and going offline at the end. I was feeling hopeless.

And then the personal destruction began. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat. I was having panick attacks at the office's bathroom. My girlfriend almost broke up with me because I was acting like an asshole due to my anxiety issues (but in the end she was the one to "bring me back"(man, she is a keeper)) and I hadn't put a smile on my face for months. I was on the brink of depression, if not already there. Everyday I would anxiously check if the server is running because I would be the one to blame, even though I was trying to talk to the boss (the bad one was in charge of the IT department) and tell him about the problem.

And then I snapped. I finally realised that I had hit rock bottom. I said "I can't let this happen to me" and I took a deep breath. I still remember that morning, it was a life-changing moment for me. I decided to bite the bullet and stay for one more month, dealing with the stupid old server and the low intelligence business environment. So, I woke up, kissed my girlfriend (now wife), took the bus and went straight to work, and I went into the boss's office. I lied that I had found another job on another city and I had one month in order to be there on time. He was like, "so you are leaving? Is it that good a job the one you found? And when are you going? And are you sure?", and with no hesitation I just said "yup". He didn't expect it and just said "ok then", just find your replacement and you're good to go. I found the guy that would replace me, informing him of every little detail of what's going on (and I recently found out, that he is currently working for some big company nowadays, I'm really glad for him!).

I was surprised that it went so smoothly, one month later I felt the taste of freedom again, away from all the bullshit. Totally one of the best feelings out there.

I don't want to be cliche, but do believe in yourself people! Things are not what the seem.

With all that said, I want to give my special thanks to devRant for making this platform. I was inactive for some time but I was reading rants and jokes. It helped me to get through all that. I'm back now! Bless you devRant!

I'm glad that I shared this story with all of you, have an awesome day!

Everything hurts. Starting from DevRant preventing me from making separate posts except I wait two hours. I'm infuriated at such a stupid rule like wtf is it supposed to achieve ffs? I'll just merge both rants into this

Next are the discriminatory fucks on reddit. I hate this platform for a number of reasons but the one currently on my nerves right now is the warped stigma against contributions from users with site rep below a certain threshold. How do myopic freaks like this make it to a position of authority?? Being knowledgeable in a given field is not exclusive to reddit users who were able to amass a ton of upvotes. It automatically excludes everyone with potential to stir valuable discourse. Just cuz they're not well liked on the platform

Basically, you earn points on cheap subs, come leverage them on the "prestigious" leagues, where those animals could lynch you. This isn't even hypothetical. Several times, all the visitors on a thread would launch a vendetta on a user (usually the OP), mass downvoting all their content on that thread. They're like wild beasts feasting on carcass

The next group absolutely pissing me off are organisations that use 2fa. How did this crazy design get so popular?? It makes absolutely no sense cuz in the event of losing my device or if the dev to whose device it was tied to leaves, you're fucked. You'll lose all your accounts. You're always calling some colleague holding the phone for codes. You need to snap barcodes on one phone and scan on auth app. Everything about it is so frustrating and painful

I was forced by github to use sms for 2fa. I'm already reluctant about working on this project but I drag myself to the system and try to sign in. Turns out the security conscious dickheads let me view my secret gists without being signed in, but they won't send the 2fa code. I faintly recall a mail that it was getting deprecated. So after what felt like eternity in perdition, I manage to setup the app type 2fa but what if I lose the phone or it's formatted?? I'm locked out! So so stupid. One of my banks sends OTPs to my line. The other doesn't. But a useless organization hosting my OSS that nobody wants to use is bent on ruining my life with their insane security measures. So So daft. What's with the excessive paranoia?? Same goes for facebook. Just send an alert to my mail if ip or location is suspicious and I'll click a confirmation mail. What if my screen is bad and I'm trying to login on another device?? How don't they think of all this before tying authentication to a physical device for christ's sakes?????

And then there's the horrible customers I've been getting on my fledgling business, along with a supplier as well. One requests for location, implying seriousness. Then ghosts. Another one wants to buy a commodity for less than half its price. How do you bargain from 330k to 150k? I rallied around for an alternative at 170k just to make sales. At the end of the day, he only wants the one for 330k. I wish I could take my skin off and black out. I'm so tired and cranky. I woke up so early today to be productive but everything I've met ever since has been nothing but pain and sorrow

How to write a great resume and Linkedin when im playing 3 roles at my current job?

Iwear many hats right now on my Job (you can check my LinkedIn, the link is on my devRant profile).

Right now im looking forward change job in 3 months or so, mostly due to non flexible working hours and somewhat toxic environment.

The problem im facing right now, id how to put all the stuff im doing right now in my profile without it sounding crazy or something like that.

I also see companies open positions for very specific roles, so i dont know how write a resume to apply to a job without excluding half of my skills from it to looks "specialized".

Other factor is that i really have fun doing diverse things on my Job, it is boring for me do a single thing for months.

How can i include everything i know in my resume? or what job title can resume all my expertise?

Thanks guys!

PD: If you are in an small startup, and trive working with people that wear many hats, contact me on LinkedIn! i can consider your offer

To all the newcomers.

Greetings.

If you are a Normal person do not trust most of the people who are still alive on here, myself excluded.

If you speak to the other living people on here try to understand that my narrative in the past is often what some of them are mimicking including posting my photographs from occasional brief fucking inexpensive trips I took and THOROUGHLY DESERVE because the powers that be seem to have ignored me and decided I should feel like shit all the time around people who are stupid garbage like @tosensei

I am the resident 'crazy' person who at least admits as far as he is able to his age when people arent' going to say 'oh that's not what my system says'..

yeah their system also says my grandmother is still alive. she'd be 110-120 right now.

please enjoy devrant.

blessed days,
