Today I've read this line of code:
$like === true ? $operator = "LIKE" : $operator = "=";

Should I be angry, sad or disappointed?
That was written by a person who I tought could code.

Hey there. Does anybody know a good tool to visualize a computer network? I've played around with cytoscape and gephi, but it's not really what i'm looking for. I also tried http://graph.io It's ok but kind of a pain in the butt to work with.

Just to let you know: i want to show our intern next week how we are organized with our servers :)

Today at work, I had to do a dry run of our new production environment config for our VM server.
So I setup ESXi in a vm in my workstation. Installed it it, no problem. Setup some VMs, still going good. Then my supervisor came and said I have to make some tweaks and use vCenter. I thought: meh, that came late but ok. Download the vCenter installer from our internal CDN and ran it. Sorry general config, blah blah blah. "Setup with embedded or external platform service controller?" -"Embedded" - "minimal requirements: 11GB ram, 250GB disk storage, 2 CPU cores". Well... Fuck me. My workstation specs: 8 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD, 4 cores.

What the bloody fucking hell does this stuff need 250 GB disk space for?!

Well at least I've got a permanent upgrade for my workstation.

I've became a better dev/sysadm since I've got a girlfriend. She has no freaking clue what I am doing when I'm working or sitting in front of my laptop. But she's often interested in the things i'm talking or ranting about when somthing doesn't work out like i've planned or some stupid problem occurs that I'm not able to fix. I am so glad i've got her. :)

Please don't tell anyone...

Worst part of being a dev? Ever got an error message without a corresponding stack overflow question/awnser?
