I had to explain to a customer's head of IT what a public IP is! He is (still) convinced all addresses in the world have to start with 192.168...

How do people like this get/keep their jobs?!

okay, I promise.

🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂..

I know it wasn't ethical, but I had to do it.

Semester 4 started this week, we all got to vote which day we wanted the lecture to be held on. There were quite a few options. My preference was Monday at 7:30pm.

So I entered the poll, as I have every other semester. But I noticed something, this particular poll didn't require any form of identification. Not even a Student ID.

I dug deeper, found that it used local cookies to store weather you'd voted or not, this is obviously a security problem, so I opened up Python and wrote a simple Selenium program to automate this process.

I called it the "Vote Smasher". First it would open the webpage, then it would choose Monday 7:30pm and vote. Then it would clear it's cookies, refresh and do it over again.

I ran it fifty times.

Can you guess what the revealed vote was for UCD SP4 IT was?

I heard my lecturer mutter:
"The votes aren't usually this slanted..."

I could hardly contain my giggles.
My vote won by about fifty over the others 😂

Let me just say, it was his fault for choosing such a naive poll system in the first place 😉

Architect: So, what's your dream bathroom?
Me: I'm a programmer.
Architect: Say no more!

What's your funniest error message while testing your code ?

For me : Fatal error - Parachute deployed.

Mom: Oh cool! So you can hack sites and accounts now?
Me: No mom.. I'll be making stuff, not breaking it.
Mom: Well what's the fun in that 😐
Me: ...

True...

It's weird reading about everyone bitching about their PM / manager, and I'm here and have the best boss anyone can ask for. I work from home whenever I want, if I work extra I can always take that extra time off. If I work weekends I get 100% overtime pay. If I want to learn new tech for a project he tells me to go nuts.

What I'm really trying to say here is.. in all yo faces I guess. \o/

Is it just me or does everyone face a murphy's law situation when it comes to coding drones??

How the f**k am I gonna press F1

I now know why I'm a developer and not a designer, it's so fucking hard like it's goddamn bootstrap that shit is basically built for me but it still looks like an egg took a shit on a toaster

Adding in a sleep(3) so my program looks like it's doing something, and not just throwing an error *straight* away, at least it will look like it tried...

Marriage is basically deploying your relationship to production.

I always hate going back to C++ after using JavaScript for long periods of time. I'm always like, "Fuck I just wanna split this string!"

Someone just offered me a position at Microsoft. Had to decline it, I'm not desperate enough to use Windows again.

Thanks for the stickers!

Welcome back from vaccation....

What is the best PC spec for development?

Things I mostly work on: Node frameworks, React Native and some Java and C++ (QT)

I know that even a dual core is enough for this but it takes a while even for a webpack build to complete in my current build.

Disclaimer: just fascinated by this one in 9gag

suddenly my whole life seemed to become a 'list' of events 🤐😔

the irony is most of us work to live and those who live to work create something which we dreamed of

When you install 10Gb ethernet...

... then want to trunk ports for more performance!

Aparently there is piece of code out there, which is completely bug free.. its called hello world.
