I admittedly do this way more than I should, but if the dev put zero effort into making a comprehensible ticket then they deserve a zero-effort reply.

Rich is relative. Rich compared to the poor sods out on the streets, definitely. Rich compared to their fat-cat bosses and shareholders who gave the orders for layoffs in the first place, hell no.

Vue was cropped out in the post preview, I thought the lady was saying "I made it"

@TrevorTheRat Someone else has stepped up to take his role, the next best person for the job TBH.

The team he lead is full of very stubborn people and he somehow managed to command enough respect to wrangle them into working together and under a cohesive vision, I don't know how well his replacement can manage that.

@Floydimus You're not supposed to put milk in an electric kettle, it's just for boiling the water. If you're pan-boiling it, sure, add the milk, but don't break the machine

@ScribeOfGoD I meant here as in where I worked. Only two tea-sipping brits to tell the rest how it worked.

@C0D4 Do people microwave their tea water now or something? Even I'm feeling old if thats the case...

Partially true.

I am extremely happy when my tests fail after I make a change.

I am absolutely terrified when my tests fail after absolutely nothing/I run them on a different machine/ they pass when I rerun them/I didn't pray hard enough to the Omnissiah.

The robot ones are honestly kind of cute

1) no politics
2) assuming that demagoguery and corrupt enforcers is somehow unique to socialism and doesn't plague our capitalist society is laughable, megacorps and their executives are pretty much above the law

Not a single q in the entire message

Accurate

@rEaL-jAsE i had really bad leg cramps from exercise that day and what i did to get on the toilet was less sitting down and more dropping onto the seat like im in the WWE trying to bodyslam my opponent

multiple times

This post was made from the office toilet

This is the most absurd thing I've read all week. Funny af too, HR at my company would bust something like this so fast.

Anyway, just say "quack quack" to one of the guys next time you have a private meeting to assert dominance.

Chrome's tab groups have been a lifesaver for work. I keep a general-purpose window with a couple of tabs like email and anything miscellaneous, and one or two windows with a few tab groups for different things I'm working on. If you subdivide or prune groups that get too big, you get all the benefits of keeping lots of tabs with all the benefits of a few clean tabs that you can identify at a glance.

25 Gbit? Pretty sure my hometown's internet doesn't even hit 25 Mbit.

@C0D4 I think part of my problem has been not having deadlines or tangible goals at times. Like I finished some big task and everything else is minor or optional or a long way away and I'm just waiting for the next big thing now. I could work on the little things, but part of my brain says that nobody will notice if I don't.

I was actually in that situation yesterday when I posted this rant but I got a couple of tasks with close deadlines and today I spent most of the working day actually working without much difficulty.

Got me twice

homie, devRant isn't for getting help with your code problems, that's what StackOverflow is for.

Sucks to hear, I know what it's like. For me, I got better when I realized that nobody is infallible, and that people who my anxiety believed would crush me for the tiniest imperfection asked me questions that were, in my mind, stupid.

But they weren't stupid, my questions weren't stupid either and the only one hyper-analyzing situations and expecting perfection was me.

@Ranchonyx but tabs > spaces

...

oh god i've re-started the holy war

@Ranchonyx Why wouldn't you?

Just say shibboleet and you'll get a (qualified) human

I'm going to be honest, I thought that the goto was in the try which would've caused an infinite loop. Using a goto and an if instead of a while in 2021 in the middle of an exception catch is almost as awful though.

Part three, the finale: https://devrant.com/rants/4223407

Honestly, what pisses me off the most abaout this whole thing is that he was leeching off of three separate projects, but the only time he even flinches is when he could fail the course. The prof graded him lower last sprint and I was about to redo his entire module so suddenly he starts giving a shit and trying to push back as hard as possible. He never gave anybody else this much shit and that's because nobody else told him to get off his ass and do his fair share of the work, and no other professor cared enough to dunk on people like him.

But hey, it's a lesson learned. The project went well, we got good grades, I learned a lot about people management and if nothing else Mr DDTW taught me how to handle office politics.

@pipe When you put it like that it sounds like a ploy to get subscriptions haha. What really happened is that I started writing during a break at work, hit the character limit and couldn't be bothered to carry on until the next day.

I'll see if I can finish part 3 tomorrow though.

Part 2: https://devrant.com/rants/4220715

@hack I think it's an evangelical thing from what I'v seen, since god created the earth and we're special it must be the center the universe and such. The earth being round and gravity being real would mean that geocentrism is bunk, hence the earth must be flat.

minor shit this bitch did that didn't fit in the rant

•Talked about sending the JavaScript files. The project is in nothing but Java.

•Said that "Working code is better than legible code" when confronted about having an unreadable mess. Too bad it didn't work either.

•In a completely unrelated project, put ArrayLists (the Java class) as a data type to be stored in an SQL database.

Gotta love Arch with the laser eyes there
