When you’re in notice period and suddenly the workload increases 🙃

If you're the most intelligent person in the room, you're in the wrong room

THIS IS ALL WE NEED!
One chance!!

echo "Hello World!";

Just got here.

Write nothing; deploy nowhere:

Me (new position): Hey, can I run this locally?

Other dev: No, it can only run through CI.

Me (exploring): Oh, I see. CI -> Docker -> Makefile -> Ansible -> Packer -> Terraform -> new EC2 image -> new EC2 host -> command.

Well fuck. That's not going to work locally.

The loudest sound in the universe is a click when you expected a bang.

Me: [buys couch online and chooses in store pickup]

Website: Thanks for your purchase! Due to local laws on bag fees, you are being charged for 6 bags at the price of 5 cents per bag. These are the estimated number of bags for the size of the item you purchased. You can have this fee refunded when you pick up your purchase.

Me: It’s a couch. You can’t bag that. 😵‍💫

Funfact:
The last 8 days 330 rants were posted.
And 1785 comments were posted.
And all this from 312 "unique" users.

"unique" because who knows how many "unique users" are from Jase.

When you finally see the light....

Anndddd people are catching covid from the office again

What was the point again?

Is there a way to programmatically call terraform internal functions like plan/apply?

I’m have to take their output, get json out of them and then perform some options on them.

But using terraform binary just doesn’t feel right. Isn’t there a better way to do this?

Terraform library is open source but their internal command package is not supposed to be used this way. I’ve tried using terraform-exec package but it does the same thing. It installs and calls terraform binary.

I am stupid as fuck.

This just happened:
I walk by the kitchen. I think to myself, I should get a cup of coffee. Let's quickly go to my office and grab my mug. I go to my office, grab my full mug, go to the kitchen, look down in my full mug and realise it is full with coffee.

Look around the kitchen for a moment, wondering why I am here when I already have some coffee... Figure out that I am stupid as fuck. Go back to write this rant. And now I'll continue with my work.

I've been in this hostel for three weeks. Near the surfspot, close to the beach, everybody here is nice and loving, there are people from everywhere, we all speak some sort of creole between english, portugese, french, spanish, german, and so on. We exchanged recipe and song, made connection in half a dozens country, and overall had a great time.

But then there's this creep who's a violent alcoholic fuck, made creepy comment about a girl half his age, called women bitches behind their back, constantly using excuses like his mummy, his job, the booze to be a shitty person, hiding himself behind humour to annoy people around but threatened to slit my throat when we did the same to him. I swear to god if he doesn't shut the fuck up this is gonna get ugly.

Fucking psycho creep.

> IHateForALiving: Mister Supervisor, I need to do X, I know how to do it with Vue but I can't do it in AngularJS, how did you do it in the past?

> Supervisor: It's a mess, you need to do A, B, C, D and E, but webpack interferes so you have to come up with something to bypass the whole thing

> Me: ok whatever thx

> Supervisor: I know it's a problem, a more modern framework would do it in a heartbeat :(

Those are bold words for the guy who saw my first PoC, noticed I was using Vue and made me throw everything in the rubbish, explicitly ordering me to use AngularJS.

My irl friends that write small amounts of code got girlfriends mann this sucks cause now I feel I have to get one even though I don't like anyone at the moment.

You get promoted to Tech Lead.
You get 2 members in your team.
Production Go Live season.
Both members unavailable due to "urgent" tasks on every weekend.
"Hello! Yes sir? Noone's available? I need to connect?"

My toxic self, that never shows itself : "Screw this shit, y m I still here"

Jesus Fucking Christ can you just guess what the code is doing instead of me feeding it to you like a fucking baby. TRY TO HAVE SOME SORT OF INTUITION DAMNIT I’M TRYING TO HELP YOU SO YOU DON’T LOOK LIKE A DUMBASS.

I thought floating point numbers shouldn't be used when working with money but...

Question: is it a red flag if I'm "not supposed to" blog about tips and tricks I've found at work (not even code level, just organization and general design patterns)? Reason given to me: "we need to be careful about due diligence and intellectual property for our investors to be satisfied". Am I working with idiots?
