A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

After moving to SSD I noticed I'm too slow for my computer. When it finishes working I can feel it asking me "you done thinking m8?"4

Just replaced a 300 line switch case with a simple if statement inside a foreach loop.
Feels sooo good man9 -
So I had to chroot into my system (I fucked up). Plugged in my backup arch live USB and then suddenly... What the actual fuck? I guess somebody borrowed my drive and used it for barbaric purposes13

The most emotional moment was after seeing that "Hello, world!" printed out on the screen for the first time. That was the point where I felt like "yup, this is gonna be my life from now on"

FUCKING HELL
My sister has that Vaio laptop from 2012 and she wanted me to "clean it up"... You get the deal. I ran the bios and booted it up from my external SSD setup so I don't have to bother with her bloody Windows fucking 7. When I'm finished deleting some garbage she managed to accumulate on her disk I wanted to switch back to Windows to properly uninstall bloatware she had. AND THEN OT FUCKING STRUCK ME. Can't load bios. F keys don't do shit. Delete doesn't either. The bloody "ASSIST" button is as useless as always. Since the computer is so slow I'm gonna waste a whole day trying to fix it and in the end she will be like: "oh, it took you so long!". Why Vaio, why can't you just get over the fact that some people actually use BIOS and make it somehow ACCESSIBLE? It's the same shit every time I try to do anything with that laptop. I'm always getting shit on from Sony as if I paid them to fuck me. One last time. VAIO, FUCK YOU.4 -
Oh my fucking god. This blessed feeling when your code finally works and you can remove all those fucking breakpoints and move on.
These are the moments I became a programmer for2 -
I`ve just found this file on my MacOS and it made me giggle a bit. Is it a common practice to leave out useless files in an os?6

I know posts like this one don`t belong here but I`m so super proud of it...
I`ve finally (after like 2 days) finished setting up my macbook-air-arch-linux-kde-plasma and this is what it looks like. If any of you is interested I can share some details about making certain things compatible with apple hardware.
Peace!21 -
The obvious one:
E-Corp (aka. Evil Corp).
First they acted all evil, and then they wanted to control the world.
A brilliant business model tbh., but not very humanistic one.2 -
Just downloaded a theme designed for WordPress... Holy. Fuck.
Is this normal? [pic related - style.css]12 -
Always triple check which drive you are about to format. It may sound dumb but there are some people (like me) who had to reinstall the whole os because of that.6

Wasting so much time on gaming instead of learning software development when I was just starting out5

Everything can be fixed, it just requires a methodical and calm approach.
That's what I keep repeating in my head, as I desperately try to fix my mums washing machine before she gets back from holiday.1
