pay it!

Consume plenty of beer, both at the office and at home.

Don't just blindly do what's asked to be done by superiors. Be critical, suggest alternatives and take ownership of and participate in processes beyond your own scope.

Yesterday, I was looking back at a project that isn't a focus right now, and unintentionally realised the cause of a frustrating bug. It's a one line fix and the smallest PR I've ever done, and it was such a good feeling!

Q: Why do Programmers love coffee?

A: 'cause programming is not their cup of tea :/

When you finally see the light....

Anndddd people are catching covid from the office again

What was the point again?

The real reason that i started using split keyboards

Writing my first code review. Even though it really is a nice review and I'm happy with the solution code, I still somehow feel like an asshole for each critique I make. Maybe it's unavoidable with code reviews / pull requests?

Got a full stack job in a really large org. They write shit code and refuse to comment on code saying the code should explain itself.

And I’m like yeah but if you’re writing spaghetti code at least fucking comment why.

The new job’s pay is like 2x my old job so it’s really fucking good pay but my brain is melting from frustrations with these devs.

When you are told "JS is not a real language"

Recruiter: Your skills are amazing! There's hight demand! massive shortage! the market is hot!

Me: great

Recruiter: But your rate is too high.

Me: ....

Me (new position): Hey, can I run this locally?

Other dev: No, it can only run through CI.

Me (exploring): Oh, I see. CI -> Docker -> Makefile -> Ansible -> Packer -> Terraform -> new EC2 image -> new EC2 host -> command.

Well fuck. That's not going to work locally.

Found this potential solution to your boss problems on reddit:

Some had teased me a bit on my previous meme so let me tell my anecdote...

I have to tell you a rather funny anecdote that happened to me during a job interview..

To put you in context, I am a front/back developer and the language where I perform best is JS. I started learning JS at an early age during an open source project to make animations on websites then I also quickly moved to the backend using NodeJS. I gained a lot of experience by going to small start-ups and this time if I wanted to try my luck on big companies in the field of video games.

So I wanted to present some projects to my interlocutor who seemed to be someone with an important position in the company, about 26 years old and we talked about the JS language. I showed him all my projects including those where I was doing free/open source and also in the field of video games such as volunteering like the back off https://mylolmmr.com And suddenly he called out to me and said "JS is not a real language".

I must confess that I was quite disturbed by his assertion and did not understand his condescension or his belittlement. This mind...

Especially since I find it extremely misleading to say that the JS language is not a real language when you know its advantages and disadvantages, but I did not dare to express myself on this subject and we continued the interviews, even though he saw that it bothered me.

The funny thing is that once the interview is over and I decide to go home and I receive a call from the company in question who wanted me to take a technical test telling me that the oral interview was successful...

I reassure you right away, I refused.. For a question of salary which was extremely low and obviously the bad experience with this famous director.

still can't believe someone actually hired me as dev and then multiple companies tried poaching me (one tried twice, another tried four times)

what are they all on

"Only the strongest gains the right to get the oil". Saw it at the shop yesterday.

This slogan is indeed correct — China soon will be "getting the oil" on russian land. Say bye-bye to all the land south of Ural Mountains.

Today I wrote on my door 'Do ! Disturb'
Why tf is everyone disturbing me

I need to sleep.
So tired.

I fucked up hard for the first time yesterday at work.

Came in and expected a huge speech from the bossman.

He called me to his office:

Explained me where I went wrong and what I should do next time with a big smile on his face!

Tech support to my friend:

Friend: Root my phone!
Me: why
Friend: play store is not working
Me: why do u want to root for that?
Friend: is there any other option?
Me: give me ur phone

After 20 sec ...
Me: Sign in to ur Google account 😐😐

"let's be all productive tonight!"

Who was I kidding, a night of sleeping longer than 5 hours is all I want right now.

Good night, devRant.

Job done

Co-worker: "I wish I understood how this program worked"
Me: "I wish I understood how THIS program worked"
Co-worker: "You're the the one that wrote that"
Me: "Your point?"

Who else feels this way? Current mood 😔

Had a good laugh on this one

A boy asked his bitcoin-investing dad for 1 bitcoin for his birthday.

Dad: What? $15,554??? $14,354 is a lot of money! What do you need $16,782 for anyway?
