Also, long time no see, stay safe

found this garbage/default manifest.json in production :

It's Friday morning, I haven't had my coffee yet and already stumbled upon 2 bugs in staging. How did QA miss this on development?

Oh wait, we don't have QA!

added two .mp4 files in commit while testing!
I feel stupid.

Deleted those files before push

Clients are total assholes, we all know it, just sharing my another depressed instance.

I promptly quit the project and tried to explain to him the difference between a "demo" and a finished project. He was supposed to check the functionality of the fucking form, which he didn't.

Got a call to finish the project, him explaining nobody is working for him for given budget, he can't afford anybody in this town (literally), and I am not going back.

none so far, they were all generic

I plan to crash and burn the interview like a boss and say NO to the job!

Can marketing (and PM) asshats take a moment, think about the word "just", the amount of time they are using it and STOP USING AT ALL. It's fucking irritation to hear that word.

for example, it just needs to be get done, OR

just do an AJAX call and it'll be done.

found this interesting snippet tool for all javascript devs out there: https://github.com/30-seconds/...

found it useful!

Stackoverflow in a nutshell...

me vs marketing guy, again

me: yeah, the database server is not responding, so you cannot log in to post your blog, wait for it to get online.

MG: But, the website is online.

me: web host and database server are two distinct things, they are not the same, *share a screenshot of the error*

MG: Oh okay.

Literally 3 hours later this fucking idiot sends an email and I quote.

"Hi Dev,

@CTO FYI, Someone has removed this code So there is some tracking issue on it.

Please add below google analytics code on the website.

Note: Copy and paste this code as the first item into the <HEAD> of every web page that you want to track. If you already have a Global Site Tag on your page, simply add the config line from the snippet below to your existing Global Site Tag.

<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
<script async src="https://googletagmanager.com/gtag/..."></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date());

gtag('config', 'UA-xxxxxxxx-1');
</script>
"

The fucking issue was of him not being able to post his shitty blog, and he shares an email like this, FOR FUCK'S SAKE!

normie uncultured dev : *Ctrl + S*
me being cultured dev : *:w*

about to deploy half baked project on production. wish me luck

I fucking lost my motivation for what I wrote a bug (unknowingly intentionally) instead of a feature. EXACT FUCKING OPPOSITE

just found a typo in a legacy php code

I just want to test my PHP code using phpunit on GitLab, what am I doing wrong?

image: php:latest

before_script:
# Install & enable Xdebug for code coverage reports
- pecl install xdebug
- docker-php-ext-enable xdebug

# Run our tests
# If Xdebug was installed you can generate a coverage report and see code coverage metrics.

So I woke up to this

Thoughts?

Plesk Onyx is the fucking useless piece of shit!

All I wanted to do was to review my old code.

So apparently GitHub now allows you to embed any gist in any given programming language as JavaScript code.

For example
https://gist.github.com/psdtohtml5/...

will be

<script src="https://gist.github.com/psdtohtml5/..."></script>

thoughts? is GitHub another CDN?

this is a chrome audit report/lighthouse report of the website of the company for which I work.

Has JavaScript gone too far?
