Running a script to do some checks on a list of Git repos.

One repo is taking ages to clone.

Take a look at the repo…

A 8 FUCKING GB VAGRANT DISK IMAGE IN IT.

I'd probably open an office supplies and stationery shop.

I could also go full time singer, although then I'd be the only full time member of my band.

We need a “Wrong fucking category” reason when downvoting posts.

People that contact me through LinkedIn trying to sell me some marketing shit or asking me about some issue with the service provided by a company that I started but with which I don't have any relation whatsoever since October 2016, which by the way is pretty clearly stated in my LinkedIn profile,…

DON'T YOU KNOW HOW TO FUCKING READ??? Stop pestering me about that company. I don't have anything to do with it, I can't do anything about it and, even if I could, I DON'T FUCKING WANT TO.

I'll add Jamie Zawinski to the list as well. He was the main driving force of the creation of Mozilla, and is also the creator of XScreenSaver.

I don't really have one favorite programmer, there are many. I'll just add one to the list:

John Carmack

Got them! Thanks a lot, @dfox!

I got the news of my promotion in the middle of our Team Building feast, which was also the same week I won the singing contest at my office. Good week, that one.

Building on this other rant: https://devrant.com/rants/2168393/...

What other pet peeves you have when chatting or texting? What things grind your gears?

For example:

People.........that type..........long messages................with lots of dots in between.........like they are allergic to the spacebar......

people that don't write any punctuation because they write like they speak and when you speak you don't speak the punctuation right and you also don't speak the question marks right do you agree

People that send a message to you, then after a whole minute has passed…
Hey
Hey
Hey man
R u there?
Heeeeeeeeeeeeey
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

Heeeeeeeeey

Finally set up my 5-node Raspberry Pi Kubernetes cluster.

Classes are classist.

Objects are objectifying.

Race conditions are racist.

Foreign keys are xenophobic.

Functions are ableist.

Thin clients are weightist.

Bitmasks perpetuate heteronormativity.

Code beautifiers promote unrealistic beauty expectations.

Test-driven development is victim blaming.

Forced commit pushes are rape.

Motherboards perpetuate gender roles.

And don't get me started on white space.

People that call you, get to voicemail and, instead of leaving you a message (especially if it's something important), just hang up.

Why is it so hard for people to just leave a message saying “Hi, I'm ${PERSON} and I'm calling you because of ${REASON}, to let you know that ${WHATEVER}. Please call back”?

I don't know if it's like that in your respective countries, but here in Spain people seem to have a phobia of leaving voicemails and it's fucking annoying.

New career opportunities have surfaced.

Oh, I'm at 2^^8 ++'s. Nice. (^_^)

1. A login window or form appears
2. Enter username
3. Enter p-
4. Another application STEALS THE FUCKING FOCUS
5. Enter half of the (or the whole) password in the app that stealed the focus and press Enter by mere inertia

Or this variant:

4. The username field gets autofocused
5. Enter the password in the username field, out in the clear for everyone to see

DON'T YOU STEAL ME FOCKING FOCUS MATE

Sometimes, when I want to get asleep fast, I just watch any SAP tutorial on YouTube and ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ…

I should really try to stop pressing i to type and Esc when I'm done typing when I'm not in Vim.

One ex-coworker friend of mine everytime he saves a file in Vim:

:w<CR>:w<CR>:w<CR>

One day, this ex-boss of mine dropped the following bomb:

“Stop using switch statements, the switch statement is archaic.”

The if statement should be even more archaic, right? So, should we stop using ifs as well?
