Me: *hours of coding, develops a feature*
Code: I'm working..
Me: Oh good.. will monitor you for sometime.
Code: Ok, I'm done. I'll stop working now.
Me: WTF

Me: *sits for hours to solve bugs*
And when almost done,
VPN: Someone's having a good day, I'll disconnect you now.
Me: WTF

Tried to install an existing web dev project in Windows 10:
- Install Atom IDE and trying to clone git repo
- Git missing, installing Git for Windows
- Installing Node (so far so good!)
- npm install
- Python missing (???), installing Python
- Ruby (????????) missing, installing Ruby
- .NET Libraries missing, installing .NET 4.0 for the 100th time
- Visual Studio Libraries for C++ 2008 missing (now you're just messing with me mate), installing 4GB of Visual Studio Libraries
- [drumroll sound]
- .....
- npm install breaks with fatal error
- Git for Windows can't be found anymore

Switched to Ubuntu out of frustration:
- Installing Atom IDE
- Installing NodeJS
- Cloning git repo
- npm install
- project is running

Me: *sigh*

My mentor is a GOD. He's a workaholic. He knows everything. The only fucking thing he doesn't know is that his MENTEES ARE NOT HIS FUCKING SLAVES.

So... uh, damn...

Client sends me support email concerning the CMS.

There's not enough details to go on, esp. browser info, so I ask her to fill out a support ticket.

She does, but doesn't enter any browser info, AND mistypes her email address so I have to correct it to reply to the right email.

I send her to whatbrowseramiusing.co and ask her to send the info to our support email address.
She emails support directly with these words: "I am using Google bowser".

I reply: click "Send to my designer" on whatbrowseramiusing.co and I give her exact steps to fill out the three form fields

She replies: "There is no 'Send to my designer', I only get the option to buy the domain."

I'm like "Whut?!" Did you mistype the URL? Why don't you click the link in the email? (Paraphrase)

This time I get an official email from whatbrowseramiusing.co, telling me that the client is using Safari 5.0.5. Which is five years old.

At that point I replied and said we really can't support this older browser, and included a link to the Firefox download page.

We all make mistakes

I get bothered when I hear someone say "my program is refusing to do x". The program is doing exactly what you have told it to do.

Will add better photos in the comments!

A client of mine received an spoofed email from their domain. It was a
script with visual basic source code.

Maybe someone here can explain what the script does?

Client didn't opened the file!

CAN I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION:

Thanks. This is a notice from Yahoo Mail to warm up your IP’s.

Preferably by toaster but only microwave as a last resort.

Background:
Long story short a mail server was used by botnets to send out a few thousand emails over the past few days. We contacted a few email providers in hopes that they remove our IP from their blacklists.

Just tested in production and sent over 3000 leads that shouldn't be sent. Ooops. ;-)

I am more honest than console.log

When hosting company changes mysql host name from localhost to mysql. And you spend hour to see why your app does not connect to db because you don't wanna call support. &#-+_$&#&

My cross to bear when any new game comes out.

Whoa!! The last time I was here, stress ball was worth 15 ++

Well, f*ck off Salesforce database system. :-)

Windows automatic updates.

What's the link between Computer Science and Physics? I get turned on by both..

I think I'm loosing my friends because of my work/career

It's funny when a girl says where's the "any" key to start a game it's found cute and when a guy does the same and it's like here should crawl back into his mother's womb and rethink his life decisions.

UGH.

I hate when I have to debug an issue and find out its somewhere entirely else, than I was looking.

>Installs a virtual server on the Proxmox VE platform
>Reboots and grub be like "No such device *UUID*"
Whut?

Okay, so... reinstall grub, maybe a bug in the automated install?
>Nop.exe, still an issue
Huh...
>Partition tables all good, drives all visible when booted from a live environment, grub is up to date
>Finally gives up and goes to mess in the (terrible) grub rescue environment
>Grub only sees (hd0) while root is on (hd2), what?
>A whole lot of cursing ensues, wtf?

Turns out it was a bug, but not in grub... Rather, in the QEMU-KVM agent daemon, wtf!

I never had to deal with a bug in the virtualization agent itself.

Downgrading from pve-qemu-kvm 5.0.x to 4.0.x solved the issue.

Now, maybe, I can finally go have my lunch...

In our company, "UAT".
We using staging environment and most of the data is either missing or corrupt. They don't refresh the data, saying it can impose some security issue.
How the hell are we supposed to complete UAT when there's no data that's in production!!!!

Anyone else on Android DevRant not able to share invites?

Wondering if y'all could help.

I'm trying to set up a VPN on Ubuntu that has been provided by CyberGhost.

I'm trying to do it via the VPN menu in Wi-Fi, but whenever I attempt to connect, it either says the service stopped or nothing (checked the logs, it's unknown...)

Anyone had this issue and solved it?

Thanks

If a programmer meets with an accident and forgets his past, will they remember how to code?

Worst coding mistake was assuming that the NameCheap domain API was an update and not a replacement. I went to added a test sub domain to our company domain and it cleared out 40 unique sub domains taking down our sites and email until I could manually add them back.

at a Weezer concert watching Rivers Como and it clicked why I want all the stickers.. We all just want to be rock stars!

My co-worker X and I worked late nights for a project every single day including weekends, and our fucking senior manager invites X to his party and not me. Seriously.. does he even know I'm in the same fucking team?.

I mean yeah X did a great job working hard and shit.. but so did I.

I really hate my manager.

Fuck Him..

I once declared and initialized a variable with a default value all together. (var a= "default";)
And in a certain IF condition the variable value has to be changed, so i was changing the value of the variable inside IF condition. If (x==y) { a=" newVal" ;}
During a code review i was asked why i am not assigning the default value in ELSE condition. And i was like whut 😑.
So........ Some Programmers be like IF shouldn't exist without ELSE.
