I was told that my comment on another rant needed to be its own rant. So here it is:

I had a client that runs a tattoo shops website to be updated and more modern. He wanted nothing to do with looking at or approve mock ups or designs so I just did my thing and took care of it. Once I was finished I showed him what I had and said “now I just need some content from you all so I can replace all the placeholder text and images”.
He seemed completely onboard. Took down notes of all the content needed, assigned all of it out to his artists to gather what I needed and provide it to me.
After 6 months, and several emails asking if they ever got that content together I finally get a response:
“LOOK MAN, if you didn’t want to do the site then you shouldn’t have accepted the money. I know you don’t need all these from us to finish up, you’re just stalling! I need the site up now!”
So I’m like “Sure man, I’ll publish it exactly as it stands now.”
An hour later I get a call “who are these people in these pictures? Why do you have our pricing all wrong? Why is everything in French or something (Lorem ipsum)? I just need my money back at this point.”
I explained that he’s not getting his money back because I already did my part, but just because it’s important to me that a client is satisfied (and seemingly what he wants is money) I can waive his hosting fee for the next 3 years.
It’s been a year now. Sites still up in all “French”, wrong pricing, random stock photos. Couple weeks ago he called to apologize for being a dick before.
Still haven’t gotten any content to finish up.
I don’t understand. It’s like these people think if you want to publish a book for instance that you just give the publisher the title you came up with and they’ll fill in the pages with story/info for you.
I’m a web developer, not a content manager.

I've told this one before, but the guy had his platform bought with a promise of partnership. they kept stalling the contract, and he would repeatedly ask when he was gonna get paid his share, and eventually they said "we never promised that". he deleted everything from the team's computers, revoked all access and left. since there was never a contract, they didn't do anything about it

Is it normal, or is the HR stalling?

I spoke with the HR and they offered me a job and they’re drafting the offer letter.

1 month later.

They’re still drafting the offer letter.

Do I have to worry about the length of responsibilities that I need to do?

Here's what being in a rut is like:

You wake up to the alarm, you waste an hour or two in bed stalling browsing social shit. Finally got out of bed. You have a todo list. You ignore it. Get something to eat. Open Netflix or some brain numbing shit while having breakfast. A few hours go by, you're still watching Netflix and switching to browsing social shit in-between so your brain is numb as much as possible. It's lunch time, you're supposed to cook something, nah, I will order something. Oh, it's bedtime, let's make a todo list and go to bed and start over tomorrow...

This is what I do while Linux is stalling 😁

Since Parse is shutting down by January 27th, I need to migrate my startup application's entire database to a new platform. What a pain. I'm thinking of doing Firebase...

Genuine question: Whenever an OS encounters a problem and I 'send' the report to help fix the problem, does anybody read that? Or windows just stalling?

Decided to fresh install ubuntu due to unexpected freezes, now I am stalling the Budgie flavor because J reaally wanted Solus.. but they still lack support for a lot of packages.

Well, now I have to set it up and its 12 am.. good for me.

I am currently a backend developer at a company in the financial services industry. In January I approached the owners that I wanted to discuss a pay increase due to new skills I have o trained that they want. At first they were willing to meet the next day but the next morning wanted me to wait until review time. I told I was willing to wait as long as they would give me a date and time. Due to last review season being blind sided and having to have my review 10 minutes after getting back from vacation without warning. It hey did they didn’t have the times schedule yet so I waited till last week to request the time again since it’s one month away and they basically said we aren’t giving you a time we will call you when we get your time. I think they are stalling because I’m highly leveraged now and that don’t want to face the reality that I am due for a pay raise. What do you guys think

There was a DB error which made my student card invalid which means that when my JetBrains license expired I couldn't extend it. Now I can't use it at all so all of my projects are stalling :/

Just when we’re about to launch a beta, a junior dev started fixing and stalling on an issue he wasn’t sent to fix.

How do I go about taking up a job that I might only want to do temporarily but the company X may have a long(er) term expectation? I can't wrap my head around it.

Also the other company Y in which I am much more interested, but still didn't reply to my email after 2 days. So I am stalling with X before taking it up...

I hate this timing tactics. I feel like I am playing a strategy game.

Not *drunk* coding per se, but there have been a couple evenings where a bottle of red has provided just the right push to finally get something done that I’d been stalling on...

That feeling when you don't feel like working but you can still hear bills creeping up on you and you need the money.

Methinks I shall ignore the robotic comments and focus on what I like.

I'm kind of confused on a 4 core device like a Samsung while simple download threads seem to be stalling when they work fine on Linux

Do not comment I will ignore you dead people

I suck at front. I lack some front-related stuff in my project and I seriously struggle with all that css.

I'd love if I could find someone to do those small pieces for me, but I really don't feel like paying someone a whole month salary for a two days job.

How can I find devs who could write parts of the code I lack skills to write myself? Do freelancers take on tasks that small? How do I know they won't be stalling the task just to get more €s out of me?

How can I find someone to help me out? How do you guys do that?

On Thanksgiving Day, I fell victim to a sophisticated forex trading scam that initially promised significant returns but ultimately left me unable to access my funds. It all began when I was contacted by an admin from a Telegram group with 300 members, where participants were discussing forex trading strategies and sharing success stories about profiting from signals provided by the group's leaders. Intrigued by their claims of high returns and the seeming transparency of the group, I decided to join. The scammers introduced me to a 45-day investment cycle, assuring me that at the end of the period, I would be able to withdraw my initial investment along with any profits. Trusting their process, I transferred $48,000 in several wire transfers. My account quickly grew, and within a short time, my balance had ballooned to $500,000. Everything seemed to be going as promised, but that’s when things took a turn. When I attempted to withdraw my profits, I was told that I couldn’t access my funds until I paid a supposed “tax” on my earnings. This tax requirement had never been mentioned when I first joined or invested. When I questioned the legitimacy of this fee, I received evasive answers and delays. It became apparent that the scammers were stalling, hoping to trap me into paying additional fees. Despite my repeated attempts to contact them, the group vanished, leaving me with no way to reach anyone. It was clear that I had been scammed. After further research, I discovered that many others had fallen victim to the same fraudulent group, which had used fake trading signals and false promises of high returns to lure in unsuspecting investors. Fortunately, I was able to recover my funds after seeking help from Rapid Digital Recovery. Their team worked tirelessly to track down the scammers and navigate the complex process of recovering my money. While the experience was long and stressful, I am grateful to have regained my investment. This ordeal serves as a harsh reminder of the importance of caution when dealing with online investment schemes, particularly those that promise unrealistic returns.

This tax requirement had never been mentioned during my initial investment discussions. When I pressed for clarification, I received vague responses and delays, making it clear that the scammers were stalling, hoping to extract more money from me.
