Thought I would share a picture of my boss's wiring job...

Light vs dark IDE themes

I personally prefer dark and all my coworkers use light. When they ask me to look at something, it hurts my eyes just scrolling for 5 minutes on their computer.

In response to the picture I posted of my boss's wiring, we got a new switch today and he cleaned it up a bit.

When your boss is too cheap to upgrade the server your data warehouse is on. 8GB of RAM is not enough when you're regularly querying for 1m+ rows.

My ideal job (which very fortunately my current one), is best described by Troy from Community is, "a job that looks from a distance like I do nothing", (or at least that's what my parents think I do -- nothing).

Thanks for the stickers!

I bought a MacBook Pro Retina wanting to upgrade the memory, then realized the Retina models have it soldered onto the motherboard.

I need to run Visual Studio for ASP.NET development but can't fathom paying $80 for a Parallels license at the moment. I've tried VirtualBox, but the RAM usage is really high for the 4GB I'm limited to.

FML.

Fuck Facebook!

Disabling apps without warnings or anything which means no customer login. This is a huge pain since the solution doesn't have any way to login to the same account with another credential.

"Oh did you use that? Now you can't. And the only way to do anything is to submit a form to 'appeal' the case which we'll just reject without any notifications or emails"

Normally I won't rant like this or use that much swearing.. but in this case:
Fuck you, Facebook. Fuck. You.

Just now while having dinner, we saw Troy was on TV. The part where Achilles' younger brother went onto himself, disguised as Achilles, into war... even when Achilles said we're going home.

In my mind, seeing it as... That's how a junior developer fucks up when he is overfilled with enthusiasm and patriotism towards company and deploys on server with senior's credentials, even though senior said "NO DEPLOYMENTS ON FRIDAYS"... and now everybody has to deal with this shit.

You know of people weren’t pretending to have amnesia I’d feel like Cassandra vindicated even if I’m being denied the I told you so because Troy is burning down

Heh told you so a second or third time
