Am I appearing to be that frustrated, that when I‘m taking a day off for a prolonged weekend trip, my colleagues ask on how the Job interview went? (Seriously, it was just vacation 😄)

"Microservices" implemented on a PHP symfony/doctrine/rabbitMQ stack, whereby the app was daemonized. Lots of fun.

Are you guys rather work from homeoffice or do you like to go to the office?

Personally I found out that I'm almost twice as productive in homeoffice than at the office...

10 years ago my bosses came to me: Make a few adjustments to the logic of this website. Should be a quick thing they said. Got a zip file later. Hundreds of php files. Inside, thousands of lines of the best PHP/HTML Spaghetti I've ever seen. No CSS though, but lots of nested table layouts. The best part: everything was in french, content, comments, varnames. The original dev didn't use includes for the most repetitive stuff, even db credentials were copied in every file. Took me a week.

Two weeks later: Change that and that please....

We decided to write everything from scratch then.

I once forgot to lock a cronjob, which dispatched queued text messages. Some people received the same message ~five times. I wasted around 4000 EUR in total ... :(

Found this gem in code review today:
$stringValue = (string)-5;
