I was told that my comment on another rant needed to be its own rant. So here it is:

I had a client that runs a tattoo shops website to be updated and more modern. He wanted nothing to do with looking at or approve mock ups or designs so I just did my thing and took care of it. Once I was finished I showed him what I had and said “now I just need some content from you all so I can replace all the placeholder text and images”.
He seemed completely onboard. Took down notes of all the content needed, assigned all of it out to his artists to gather what I needed and provide it to me.
After 6 months, and several emails asking if they ever got that content together I finally get a response:
“LOOK MAN, if you didn’t want to do the site then you shouldn’t have accepted the money. I know you don’t need all these from us to finish up, you’re just stalling! I need the site up now!”
So I’m like “Sure man, I’ll publish it exactly as it stands now.”
An hour later I get a call “who are these people in these pictures? Why do you have our pricing all wrong? Why is everything in French or something (Lorem ipsum)? I just need my money back at this point.”
I explained that he’s not getting his money back because I already did my part, but just because it’s important to me that a client is satisfied (and seemingly what he wants is money) I can waive his hosting fee for the next 3 years.
It’s been a year now. Sites still up in all “French”, wrong pricing, random stock photos. Couple weeks ago he called to apologize for being a dick before.
Still haven’t gotten any content to finish up.
I don’t understand. It’s like these people think if you want to publish a book for instance that you just give the publisher the title you came up with and they’ll fill in the pages with story/info for you.
I’m a web developer, not a content manager.

Client: This new feature is not working on Internet Explorer.
Me: Do you have enough oxygen in the cave you are living in?

"IoT is awesome~!"

"What things about it do you love?"

"Hm, hold on a second. Oh dear."

"Something wrong?"

"Just a sec. My Fridge is getting DDoS'd"

Our team just got the best email from our client hahaha

this one guy:

10:30
he: "Hey i got this problem, can you come over and fix it, it just takes 5 minutes?"
me: "Hey, I'm in Homeoffice today to focus on our current project. I'll come over tomorrow morning"
he: "alright"

14:30
he: "Can I give you a call? Nothing's working."
14:31
he: Incoming call.. [ignored intentionally, cause right now I'm zoning with a fellow dev, designing the mappings for new elasticsearch index and writing the indexer]
14:32
he: "???"
14:33
he: "ShittySaasTool doesn't work with salesforce anymore!"

14:40
me: "sorry, I've been busy. As I said, today I'm trying to focus on our Projects, please talk to [teamlead], he'll decided on the priorities"

14:41
he: Another Incoming Call.. I take it.. he's trying to convince me to fix his stuff. I tell him to talk to my teamlead again, hoping he'll get rid of him.

14:42
he: "okay, i got the go from your teamlead. Can you fix it now? Here's my number: 12345678"
teamlead: "this guy just came here. He said it takes only 5 Minutes, can you do it quickly?"
me: "usually I'm the one to tell how long stuff takes. nothing takes 5 minutes. also I have to be at his desk for debugging that and you said we should concentrate on this project."

teamlead: "Alright I'll tell him you come over tomorrow morning"

In the end, this guy clicked the fucking disconnect-button, which disconnected his ShittySaasTool-Account from his Salesforce-Account.
Next day i go to his office and reconnnect it. He made some jokes in a bitchy voice about how i was busy in Homeoffice watching Netflix. Half an hour later he clicked the button again.

Why am I still doing this shit?

The creation of an e-ink usb stick showing how much space is in use was to this day one of the best things lexar ever did.

Comprehensive HTTP Status Codes 😂

Don't know if this has already been put up, but I got a good laugh from it

It's never a good sign when a team lead writes code like this

IoT is when your ai powered toaster is mining bitcoin to pay off its gambling debts it has with the smart fridge.

Today is one of the days where I want to quit.

Oh wait, I own the company.

Fuck.

Anyone want to buy me out? :P

This is how you'd imagine a sysadmin.
