Don’t offer me a position that’s not yours to give. 😤

Today the Git for Windows updater asked if I wanted to let Git decide on the naming of my default branch... Hell no snowflakes!

Getting oversea calls all of a sudden. If you’re trying to scam me, at least speak the local language and check local time.

Talking to me in a language I don’t understand at stupid o’clock doesn’t help your case...

Just bought a curved 49”, ultra wide, 5120x1440 screen. LOVE IT!

I found a tool that saves passwords in plain text. Our client didn’t involve us in the decision process. They bought it. You did this to yourself... #1995 #fuckit

PHP 5.6 > 7

Just changed jobs and learned that this client, a big international company, spent a whooping 2.000.000,- USD on a WordPress that does not work.
My job: clean up the mess they made.
Annual budget: 200.000,- USD
FML.

Marketeers 🤬

Not a rant, but a story.

Last 3 months I mentored our new development trainee. Last night, he presented his thesis in front of other students, profs, and a jury. He received the highest score of all the projects we evaluated, and was even nominated for an award.

I feel like a proud dad. 😅

My local coffee bar. At first I missed my second screen, but it’s so worth it!

An old one, but funny af. Shows the pain freelancers have to go through.

Please design a logo for me.

LinkedIn shows that I’m a web developer, using mainly laravel, twig, less, JavaScript, etc.

Recruiters: are you interested in a java function? Possibly .net? We’re also looking for network engineers...

Big client, sells products in 30+ countries.

Tries to generate newsletter subscribers, so asks for a system to send a coupon upon subscription.

2 days later, client calls in panic. “We have too many subscribers, our marketeers say it’s a bot issue, can you do something?”.

Checked the data, checked analytics, turns out there’s a lot of referral traffic from freebie-sites, no sign from a bot issue.

Called the client back, “sorry, but there’s nothing you can do about that, you wanted your newsletter to become popular. Not you’re the victim of your own success”.

Client: “can we add captcha?”

Me: “why would you want to do that? You don’t even have a bot issue”

Client: “to make it harder for people to subscribe”

I tried to talk som sense in their heads, but after 3 times I gave up and implemented the damn captcha. It’s still there, doing nothing but annoying thousands of people, including me...
