I have a non-dev colleague that created a report in our pseudo-self service viz tool. Shortly after creating and forwarding said report, he submits a ticket stating "the data, in the db is wrong. Every time I run my report, the sum (of a numeric column) is five time more than (and here is the funny part) when I run the SQL in developer!" My response, after reading this ticket: "it is the same data, from the same db, and the same tables! CHECK YOUR JOINS!!!!" His response: " found the issue. My bad! The report used outer joins vs' inner joins." Then he resolved the ticket!

I am starting to agree more and more with Linus' assessment that C++ is stupid! Maybe I should move to C!

Thanks for the sticker DevRant!

The best: when systems writes a snide comment on a ticket, then close said ticket to prevent you from replying! Touché douche', touché!

Got to love when the on-call takes their sweet-fucking time with the back-up. All this because the lazy douche did not what to verify the back-up was complete.

Windows, I am not your father!

The best parts of day are meetings with my boss. Meetings where said boss is always late, and inevitably asks "is it time"!

How is it security, a function of IT, does not understand developers? I mean, they work in IT, should not at least pick-up on the culture?

Bill: Hey Linus, can we talk about Windows and bash?

Can't polish a turd!
