Fist day at new job. Supposedly I only came to pick a laptop. Been here for seven hours because the team leader wanted to meet and pass some instructions, and still a no show.
Not a very good omen…6 -
JS method names I still can't remember, even after 6 years of writing in it:
append is called concat,
any is called some,
all is called every,
contains is called includes
I always have to pause for a good long while or look it up when I need to use any of these is annoying, but my brain refuses to adapt to these names.4 -

Was playing fallout 4 a couple days ago. About 20 minutes in. The computer just shuts off. Like no power at all. I start up the computer again. Try fallout 4 again. It shuts off at the beginning video. WTF... I try Skyrim wondering if video card is busted. Skyrim runs perfectly fine. I startup Fallout 4 again. It runs. WTF...
Next day I try fallout and bout 20 minutes in power off again. Now I am assuming cooling issue and I am trying to see temps with programs. Cannot really tell.
So today I take apart my laptop and vacuum every cooling orifice out. Vacuum any dust looking crap I can see. There was dust in the fans. All clean. I run a memory test for a couple hours. Memory passes (it was brand new memory, thought maybe flaw in ram). Now I run fallout 4. Runs fine, zero issues for about an hour.
Me to myself: CLEAN YOUR DAMN COMPUTER MORE OFTEN! Okay...
In between I read about Fallout 4 causing system reboots and shutdowns due to loading and heating. Apparently something about Fallout 4 causes this more than other games. Wild... Pretty sure it was thermal shutdown protection going on.3 -

Modern approach to displaying dates is shit
I want to see a face of a fucker who decided that "5 YEARS AGO" has more meaning than exact date "15 Sep 2019". All apps that use that fucking retarded date representation are useless shit, worst UX ever.4 -
It's nearly May. I am therefore going to start referring to apples as "tree potatoes" whenever possible.7

I hope this is not illegal content, as I don't want to "Advertise" here but would like to share my first game on Steam with the community, as I am really proud of it.
There's a free playtest soon and dev opinions are much appreciated! Let me know guys what you think. https://store.steampowered.com/app/...5 -
Wake up, it's 1983...
Node? React? Copilot? Programming Socks? Furries?
Man, I told you to not drink so much the last night, now wash your face and grab a coffee, you have a program for the VAX-11 to finish.11 -
One of my favourite things in JS is the absolutely cursed shit that it lets me do.
Did you know that you can return anonymous classes from functions?16 -
team lead/senior telling you that you're probably going to break prod and have to patch it for the next couple of weeks when working on one of the first migration epics on legacy monolith, but we'll get good data from it doesn't make it any less terrifying4
