Ive been using our spammer to keep the app running, and to start it after restart cycles.

Has been cheaper than me doing it..

Well obviously the one with the bigger tab does the thing that the other one doesn't

I just use mailgun. Mostly for the webhooks.

I've got lotto numbers for sale

If a manager suggests you do something to better either yourself, or your perceived status/level; there is probably a reason.

Maybe the company is approaching a staff audit, maybe his boss says you can't be promoted due to qualifications, maybe anything else.

The fact that "bologna" and "pony" rhyme always freaks me out..

Reminds me of this bad boy https://hackaday.io/project/...

Haha.. TIL thank you!

And yeah, those guys can be bad around clothes on a line.. would hate to see them around shiny concepts..

@Root hahah yup. Ive never heard the term magpie dev.

But being in Australia during their mating season, I can imagine...

It's probably hard to be a leech of society, wholly reliant on the skills of others to make ends meet.

Annoyingly, example #1 is probably just going to attract those who just splatter apply everywhere without any real skill.

When you keep it up long enough, and they eventually start showing you life insurance ads..

Just pretend your code is more like a treasure map!

Tf did you think was going to happen?

Rarely can you start something like this in a company, then pull the rip cord when it gets boring..

Just tell them that your accounts department has flagged them for non payment, and you have been instructed to get the account settled in 48 hours, or shut off service.

Give them the heads up and a fixed time restriction before pulling the plug.

That said, they will probs just ask you not to, then you can play silly buggers :)

Another possible design you could consider.

The second iteration is always better than the first. I mean, check out Jaws 2!

Ive always assumed that a Geek was a Nerd with friends..

@crapped the first nice "let me google that for you" in the history of ever.

@1nfinite sorry. It is a reference from The Simpsons.

Do it for her

Don't forget your browser history, first.
Developer search terms sound crazy without context.

Become a digital marketer.

All they seem to do is change the scope and take a cut.

Woololoo

"Complete this test over christmas, so we know we own you"

Just show em the ascii code equivilent of each character and have them prove you wrong.
