Jus sayin'.

I have almost 8 years of experience, am currently a tech lead in the company im at (a big known music and video streaming platform), i live and breathe tech...

and someone i interviewed for (in a 4 year old fintech startup) wants to put me in a mid level position because he "felt i lacked depth". apart from his feelings he failed to make me understand how I'm not senior enough for him.

so how do i become deep? what is this depth he speaks of?

AAAAAAAH

NEW GUITAR HAVE BEEN SENT

Haven't been that excited since I was 8 I swear

time traveler: *steps on a bug*
changes to our world:
- C has python syntax based on indentation and has no curly braces
- mario has fall damage
- tetris is called triris and uses blocks of three squares rather than four
- the word "disk" doesn't exist, everything is "disc"
- every device uses a new version of mSATA instead of usb type c
- screens are 3:2 instead of 16:9
- javascript name wasn't adopted, the language was called lifescript instead, as originally intended. because of it, it didn't secure funding when it most needed it, so it never caught on. instead, microsoft bought macromedia, and every site is written with Microsoft Flash. CSS has XML syntax.
- steve jobs didn't rely on alternative medicine, so he succesfully beat cancer. because of him, every phone has the size of iPhone 4s, but bezels are tiny. everything that's bigger is called phablet, and big phones are not a thing. instead, web is "smaller" in size, every ui is more compact.
- wimax caught on and won the 4g war. 5g is called wimax 2.0.
- microsoft had more time to complete vista, and hardware manufacturers had more time to make faster chips. when vista came out, it wasn't buggy and was very fast. it acquired cult status like xp. because of it, windows 8 still had frutiger aero design.

Real rant.

If you downvote, go get cancer faggot.

I make $1,370.26 (200k yen) a month after taxes and rent. That's only if I overtime 40 hours a month extra, otherwise it becomes $959.27 (140k yen). I save and save, but a single trip breaks bank.

$2,740.36 bonus twice a year. (June and December)

Has a health insurance. In Japan. 27 y/o male. 1 wife and 2 kids.

Do I quit and look for better paying company/country or stay? ($5 a month pay raise if I stay)

I don't remember that at all, must've been pissed.

Maybe quit giving out your bitcoin to every scammer retard

Well, its been a ride folks!

If you see a toilet in your dream, do not,

I repeat,

DO NOT use it.

There is nothing easier than running an insurance company in the US of A. When a big request comes in from a client in distress that got into a terrible accident that is definitely covered by their (very expensive) plan, you just go to the data bank like Equifax and see if they're still rich enough to win a lawsuit against you should you refuse to pay.

For those of you who don't know what a data bank is: data banks are companies that buy/scrape/suck in every last bit of data they can about every person in the country, and then resell it through their fancy UI with all the convenient features and metrics.

So, Umbrella Insurance Co. goes to Equifax and asks whether Joe Schmoe's accident is severe and life-ruining enough that they won't be able to sue us. Exuifax says: let's see... Joe's Revolut©™ account has the grand total of $80.12, with $7,382.25 recently spent on medical bills. Joe's WhatsApp©™ (a Meta©™ company) classifies their recent messages as "desperate". Joe's iPhone©™ Screen Time©™ is increased, and Joe is doomscrolling a lot, especially on The Washington Post©™ (a Jeff Bezos company). All signs show that if you don't pay them, they won't be able to out-sue you. That would be $0.12, thanks!

As a person who is no one in particular that may or may not have been a US of A's supreme court judge once said, "sometimes it's not about justice, but about making the sucker spend all their money".

I work with a team of morons where they just keep overriding my code and business sending us mails saying this requirement hasn't been implemented so please done.

Those morons are just getting on my nerves

Azure sucks!

I have been pulling my hair off using Azure. All questions I posted on their support doesn't have any answers.

Their documentation is overwhelming as hell, they don't provide enough examples. They just put information like they expect the user already knows it.

F*K U AZURE

Angular sucks the joy out of programming.

Well it finally happened… I deleted the production DB 🤦🏼‍♂️

Rollback successful but lost over 3 hours of production data

dev communities can be the most toxic as well as the most welcoming at the same time.

just depends on what your timing is. You can get a bunch of links to help debug your issue or you can get told to "kill yourself".

You never know.

What have I done today?

Nothing. Stayed naked all day and smoked weed.

Well I did my budget for the month and send my bills.

Tomorrow I'm paid.

Can't wait to receive my 8 strings guitar omg

I've just learned that some unicode codepoints (like 𘀀) are wider than 1 cell in a normal monospace terminal

Yay, i hecking love unicode
(i want to die)

My boss published someones resume online to make fun of it because it was handwritten. He at least blurred out that persons name but not the past jobs & other info...

It took me 30 minutes on linkedin to find the person that I believe it is.

Isn't this a GDPR violation lol

Project Managers will ask six figures salaries to whip an entire team of developers because it's fundamental to add AI to a fucking toilet by the end of the week, then walk around like they understood everything about life. Given how that's what they do for a living and we're not currently gunning them down on sight, I can't say they're entirely wrong.

Yo check out my new website!!!

Incompetence. Incompetence everywhere.

AI can take my job. I can't do this anymore.

Best of luck waking up 7 A.M on Mondays, logging in to work and telling in those 10 am scrum meetings “I’m still wOrking on the sAme tiCket as last friDay.”

Enjoy my job graybot.

I’m gonna go outside and remember what sunlight looks like. Maybe touch grass. Maybe grow crops. Maybe herd some cows. Idk. Might start a farm or might scream into the wind.

We had a teambuilding last Friday. We went indoor karting and it was a lot of fun. My project manager does not have a driving license and it did show.

The karts have a boost button (electric karts) and my project manager used it before a turn and then slammed into wall. Now he got a few bruised ribs haha

Also, it's still funny to me that I was part of the teambuilding during my resignation but i'm not gonna complain about that. :D

When Russians talk about someone who is still a part of their group but is shunned, they use the word нерукопожатный — literally “nonhandshakable”.

Practical question: did anyone figure out how to pay less taxes in the UK (or somewhere else in Europe)?
I can’t lie it becomes pretty unsustainable…

390.8 MB worth of app just to change the brightness value of a single non-rgb led in my mouse.

Fuck, my company is doing an all-hands meeting / Division townhall... AND EVERY DEPARTMENT HEAD IS DOING SOME STUPID D-DAY REFERENCE.
Cringe.

Job search is absolutely soul crushing. I can't even.
