New home, new workspace :D

Being a student this was how my colleagues felt about my code and SQL procedures. They didn’t even let me create a change ticket to present to CAB 😂

You know the code is in bad shape when you see variables starting with "get":

Integer getDataBlockSize;

Last year I had a meeting with the newly hired Senior Graphics Designer.

She was presenting the new design of the company's website with all the features she wants.

After a few minutes, I asked her, did you design it as a responsive website?

"What is that?" She said. I said that the website should display or have atleast a design for mobile view and desktop view.

And she replied, "is that a requirement?"

Talks to myself: how the hell we hire designers like this?

PS, she earns 4x my salary

Keep calm and chive on

Minimum resolution supported on the project is 1280px

Learn that Product Manager is selling it as responsive

*sigh

Why install a native app to use devrant on a mobile phone? Your website is not totally broken in a mobile browser. Responsive web is possible in 2020, believe me and give it a try!

Digging though my old emails found this joke sent to me long time ago. Think that originally was posted in a 1997 issue of Computerworld. Maybe you already suffered the effect of the "Opcodes" listed here. Hope that !tl;dr

"Why do this heading change size? I want it bigger!"

"the photo was ok side by side with the text. Why does it move above on my iPad"

"i can't zoom!"

Emulating a mobile browser in desktop Chrome does not show any virtual keyboard even when tapping into an input field. Same error in Firefox (and same in Vivaldi).

I thought there had been an emulated soft keyboard in the past, or was that only in Opera mobile emulator?

Is there any browser that runs on Linux that still does a proper mobile emulation?

looking for freelancing, for RWD web applications and hybrid mobile apps..
