Budget? Less than a round of beers at the bar.

Every year my work sends out a "mental health awareness week" email including some "useful resources" and the biggest problem for my mental health is those assholes.

I like coming up with novel passive agressive ways to say fuck you.

I have come to the conclusion our company hired exclusively the people that caused toasters to have a disclaimer advising you against sticking your dick in there

Americans love to complain that schools don't teach students about taxes...
If American schools started teaching American youth about American taxes, how they work and where all this money is going, it will end in either First American Socialist Revolution or the Second American Civil War.

This is a first... My CEO made a youtube video announcing that they fired an employee (sales). I don't even know why they had to make a youtube video. The link was part of an email, just write it down in that email instead of labeling it as "small message from our CEO"

So disrespectful in my opinion.

I want to bitch about so somewhat personal and somewhat political stuff, but no one will care for someone yelling at the clouds or be able to influence the situation in any meaningful way.

gaddayuumm advertisements are taking a field trip here. 70% of the screen area is ads.

i wonder if they have seen more than one cent of RoI.

Durandal raises parsing errors as "no property 'instance' on undefined", thrown in a context where "module.instance" is visible but the path the module was loaded from is not.

Have some fucking pride in your work man. If the module name is null, just throw.

sending files through vscode + ssh is the most retarded thing I have done so far. This shit is so slow.

Me and a fellow friend started working as a freelancer.

of 3 projects that we have:

One has a terrible code (like really nasty and over engineered to the maximum). albeit each new feature is a challenge to our sanity... they pay are are somewhat nice.

Another after we did the job they don't want to pay (thankfully we are on a platform that is like the middle man for work, they already have the money so should be "trivial") because they say we did not do what they asked. Brother, the 2 A.M. is not an hour to be called, and we did all the little shitty task they askend AND the original tasks...

And in the last one we hired a team to work with us because we don't have more hours in a day... and they only rename some vars, call it a day, ignoring the task on the sprint and they wanna get paid for the "job"

I just wanna drink a few pints of guinness...

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

We are refactoring the core feature of our unique selling point of our backend that all our products use.

And our product manager just decided that we will roll it out on Wednesday and we will not do any tests. r/whatcouldgowrong

My team mate is so fucking bad that I use his mistakes as interview questions for internship positions. So I really make sure I don't have a second Ouistiti in my team.

Tomorrow is monday, and it looks like ~4h of meetings everyday...

OKAY I GOT IT ITS SCALABLE THANK YOU NO I DONT WANT TO BUY A LICENCE NO I DONT WANT TO WATCH YOUR WEBINAR NO PLEASE GOD NO

I just learned that if I doesn't want to use Bluetooth for my MX keys mini and my MX master 3 I need 2 separate dongles because the first need the bolt one and the second the unifying one...
Ffs Logitech, really?

Finally got all the php errors fixed on my servers. Feels good man.

Slacktivism and privacy don't mix well. Privacy is a conscious, active effort that never ends. Don't outsource privacy. Avoid integrated "privacy" solutions that offer centralized "all-in-one privacy thing" for a monthly fee/for free, like Proton and Brave. Privacy doesn't exist without decentralization.

It's only 11am and today is already cancer

Svelte is if an unfinished sneeze was a framework.

I forgot why open space bothered me in the past, too much noises...
No I remember and I need a new headset with a very good anc

Today, a colleague and I had to travel to a different office 2h away one way to play our mandatory game of table tennis....

It's now 5 minutes past my official working hours and they still haven't pulled out their foldable pingpong table. So respectful

The English Wikipedia's article on "Ostrich" has "Not to be confused with Osterreich" written on top :D
Americans, am I right?

I don't understand CSS and am shit at it, moving forward I plan to treat CSS more like old legacy code I don't want to fuck with and preserving any existing working stuff.

Burned once trying to freehand off an example thinking I knew what I was doing versus preserving what was there.

A shout out to those considering deleting their dR account [esp. old timers here] and still on the fence. If you can -- don't.

If you're an old timer here, chances are you actually dev-ranted about real dev issues and possibly posted a solution found after all the frustration.

If you delete your acc, all these posts will disappear. Leave them be. Let them be a contribution to the community, to your fellow devs.

If this platform is no longer worth your time [can't blame you, really], you can simply log out and not come back here :)

DOOM

OK, so, @Demolishun seems gone. Big surprise. He spent a lot of time here like I do. He did not insinuate any signs of being done or unhappy. Adding the fact that he was a stable happy daddy with the daddest jokes often showing how well he knows the people here makes it so weird and unexpected.

Also weird, @Demolishun's deletion got captured in a hour or so (yesterday it was noticed already, but I was like, maybe he comes back) and still nobody noticed that @electrineer is gone for a few months now or so. Meh, he hated me anyway.

Don't people know that devrant is hosted on an airfield? You have to check in and check out.

Has @Demolishun deactivated his account?

Validating an input field while it's still focused is like a teacher repeatedly interjecting "this is no complete sentence" before the students have finished their sentence.
