100 updoots and I actually post this to my linkedin feed

entertain me, devrant, my finger is itching on the post button already

Our tech lead left a mess in the database. He turned his screw-up into an architectural discussion, weighing the benefits of duplicated, messy data vs. keeping it consistent. He suggested that, instead of fixing his broken script and cleaning the mess, we should break all of the other scripts and have them trash the database, too.

They almost believed it.

What a clever maneuver. I wish he would use his cleverness to make good software, instead.

Nothing (software or other) has an objective value, it just depends who you sell it to.

Dev trend I think will pass?

Creating new frameworks on this dumpster fire of a language we call JavaScript.

I've been ghosted by more companies than women at this point

Today I have received mi report card: flunked.

When I started at my current Company and was put into my first Project, I discussed the Design Architecture with the lead Programmer in the Project.
Then he dropped the line:
"I don't understand why you were employed as Trainee instead as a Software Developer"

(The Reason was that I wasn't that familiar with Java aside from a little bit what I learned in University)

That gave me a big boost in Confidence ^^

Hey folks, just need to get this off my chest! 😤

I finally broke free from the chains of a company riddled with politics and zero career growth. 🚫📉

But hey, I've joined a startup now! 🚀 It's a fresh start where I can escape the drama and unlock my true potential. No more suffocating bureaucracy or stifled progress. 💪💡

Tried to post on instagram, post failed, got a window with a button "try again" and a network response 400: "debug_info Object { retriable: false, type: "ProcessingFailedError", message: "Request processing failed" }"

I just wasted my 2 hours debugging the code with a misspelled variable name, "separate" instead of "seperate".

Fcuk !

1. Start ur day posting Good morning in #general thread.
2. Say Hello Team in the project group (slack).
3. Have a standup call with the entire team and discuss what everyone would be doing.
4. Evening 6 pm go on another call with the team explaining what you did for the day.
5. Time tracking software should always be on, so we can monitor your keystrokes.
6. Track time on Clickup tasks, as well as move them to appropriate tabs indicating their status.
7. Before u log off, post a detailed report on the group chat about what you did for the day.

Surely, this will increase productivity of the team, right?

My dad got a new phone over the weekend and asked me to help him set it up (TL;DR his IPhone broke, he likely cussed out someone on the phone and now he's on android).

Setting up his bank app, I asked for his password (I somehow knew asking a 80+ year old man password questions wouldn't end well)

<pulls a card out of his wallet>
Dad: "Here you go."
Me: "This is your business card?"
Dad: "Yep. Password is at the bottom. That way I never forget it."
Me: "Jeez dad, you shouldn't have your bank's password on a business card. You don't give these out to people, do you?"
Dad: "Sometimes. Hell, they won't know what that is. Its just a bunch of nonsense."

Luckily the password didn't work. He had to reset it when his IPhone messed up and didn't remember what he changed the password to.

Work starts ar 9:00 am

WFO: 7:30
OMG, FUCK!! I've overslept. wtf happened.. I'll be late for work.

WFH: 8:53
cool, I still have time for breakfast!

Cheers y'all!! Hope your weekend was good and tomorrow you crank out awesome code, so the CEO can finally buy a yacht.

I can _feel_ something is not right here but can’t quite point my finger at it.

hey google, make my life harder. let's have an SDK version, then a corresponding android version, and finally a clown name like cotton candy or oreo or whatever so I always know exactly what version I'm working with without confusion 🙄🤡

My phone keypad reads 1,2,3,4… and my calculator 7,8,9,4… What is wrong with all these people!!!

At a restaurant in Augustow there was a sign: "please wait for the waiter"

it confused me. If I'm waiting for the waiter, then what/who's the waiter: the one who's being waited for or the one waiting?

If I'm waiting for the waiter, do I become the waiter?

I think this is a good spot for a recursion bug to occur, resulting in waiter leaks.

What did I do while down for the count with Covid?

* Setup a static React site
* Hosted the site at Cloudflare Pages
* Protected the page through CF access
* Extracted the JWT
* Setup a Rails API to validate the token

Now I have static React UIs with a nice rich API backend.

There ain’t no feeling like replacing 6 lines of code with 6 characters of Regex.

On the further subject of "new trends" that piss me off, being in an important meeting, asking someone an important question about work they haven't completed, and getting back:

"Oh sorry I was *multitasking* then, could you repeat that?"

No you cloth-eared dufus, you weren't multitasking, you were focusing on only one thing - and it wasn't the meeting that you called and the meeting you're meant to be listening to. Arse.

Kinda wanna say my teammates are incompetent morons but the truth is I'm not much better

So saying that about them would be admitting it about myself

I HATE CORS I HATE CORS

API-TEST: This is a rant: Type 6

Do NOT "compress" your code by leaving out braces in control structures and putting the 300 char statement on the same fucking line as the control structure!
Yes, your code file becomes vertically shorter than the usual 3000 lines, BUT my brain tumor proportionally grows larger.

my friend: i have landed a job at a top tech company, without experience on their tech stack, through a referral with our mutual friend

me: happy for them, but also seething as when im referred through the same friend i dont even get to the screening process

the pain of being weak, shitty at your job, and lacking meaningful experience being stuck at a meh company for years

the universe will torture me, and never be so merciful as to just put me out of my misery

C, C++, and Java are legacy programming languages.

So, for the ones who fear that the language will go away in mere 10-15 years. Chill. These languages will stay forever.

I hate the fucking windows 10 (-_-)

In the Vietnam War, soldiers called M16A1 "Mattel 16" because of its plastic parts and it being notoriously unreliable.

Though, Eugene Stoner didn't design a bad weapon. M16A1 passed the test phase perfectly, but it was tested by experienced marine soldiers who knew what they were doing. Eugene and Armalite didn't realize that even though the weapon worked reliably for marines didn't mean it would still be reliable in the hands of inexperienced privates.

This is why you should always account for proficiency and experience of your users.

It is the year 2022.
We have multiple robots on Mars.
We have mRNA vaccines.

JIRA does not yet have a dark mode.
