For this episode of practiseSafeHex's most incompetent co-worker were going to move past developers and go straight to a CEO.
*sitcom audience oooooohhhhhhh*
I know! , always risky, everyone has a bad story, but lets try bring it home. Here we go, Most incompetent co-worker, candidate 2, "R".
R was ... now how do I say this ... R was a special kind of Bastard. A perfect blend of impatient, arrogant, a dickhead and to borrow a phrase from family guy "below the line of mental retardation".
I've actually spoken about him recently here: https://devrant.com/rants/1141873/...
I won't bother duplicating the content here, but its worth a read.
Some of the other highlights of R include:
- Not understanding that my first demo was UI / Frontend only (despite frequent explanations). I didn't slack off for the next 2 weeks, I was busy making all those buttons actually do stuff and connect to the server. Shockingly "Test 1", "Test 2" and "Lorem ipsum" wasn't our content.
- He once asked how long a bunch of tasks was going to take, I told him 2 weeks and he gave me 2 and a half days. He pulled me into a meeting the next week to see where it all was, and I literally sat there saying "I asked for 2 weeks" over and over until he shut up.
- R's favourite phrase was "when I was a developer", typically followed by some sort of insult, forever labelling him "asshole" by everyone who has ever worked for him.
- When apple launched iOS 7 and changed the UI and the methods you could use, he refused to invest the time in upgrading to iOS 7, but demanded the app look like an iOS 7 app. No amount of "There is no method to access the status bar in iOS 6" could make him comprehend the issue at hand.
- The worst was when I was dealing with an issue to do with 64bit being introduced (which I tried to explain ... christ give me strength). When another dev fixed a similar but unrelated issue he stood up in front of the office and said loudly "pfft practiseSafeHex tried to tell me this was something to do with 64bit, which made absolutely no sense, guess he doesn't know what he's talking about"
Thankfully I handed in my notice ... after less than 2 months, making in abundantly clear why. Will R make it to the top of the list of most incompetent?
Tune in later for more practiceSafeHex's most incompetent co-worker!!!12 -
Mam: Hey can I ask you a question about Facebook?
Me: (Christ give me strength) ... sure whats up?
Mam: You know when you get a notification and you click on it and see what someone uploaded?
Me: ... you are not on Facebook, you can't be getting notifications
Mam: well I do. Is it possible to...
Me: No hang on a second, it is 110% not possible for this to happen. Something else is going on that you think is a notification.
Mam: You know when you are on, and you see a message like "12 new notifications"
Me: on? on what? this is happening on your phone is it? Can I see?
Mam: No its on my laptop at home.
Me: ... you have an old laptop with an old windows, you can't get notifications on it.
Mam: OH FOR GOD SAKE! ... you know when you are in your emails and it says "12 new notifications"?
Me: ... right so we are talking about EMAILS about unread notifications and not getting notifications on your phone. So you have an old account then that you don't use?
Mam: Yeah I don't know the password to it, haven't logged in, in years.
Me: of course
Mam: Right anyway. When I get one and click on it, lets say its about you, can you see me reading your notifications?
Me: ..... you can't not read my notifications.
Mam: uh, can you see me reading your emails then smart arse?
Me: ... can't do that either.
Mam: So what the hell am I doing then?
Me: You are reading a post someone uploaded, which you got alerted to from an email.
Mam: Right, can you tell when I've read your POST then?!?!?!
Me: no
Mam: was that so hard?
Me: ... yep7 -
Should I be afraid right now?
Dev: can I swap out an existing UI framework from this codebase for a completely different one, because it doesn't do the small enhancement I've been tasked to do?
Me: ...............
please lord, give me strength in these pressing times.rant what could go wrong it's going to be a good week it's only monday @c0d4 needs a whisky mondayitis has begun6 -

"no micro managing here!"
*Boss comes in at 5*
- how much work have you done?
- why isn't this finished yet?
- you're working too slow
- show me git status
- show me git log
- why is this taking you so long?14 -
Made the mistake of mentioning ISO27001 security standard near management.
- "What?? Why don't we have that certificate?! Why are you not thinking about this?"
- "We don't need it."
- "Of course we do! we must have the highest standards!! Lets hire some lawyers and security consultants to help us get certified!"
A week later:
"Ok, turns out we don't need it."
Satan give me strength...9 -
(I'll give some context before the rant: I'm part if the IT department of a manufacturing company (actually I'm 1/2 of the department), and all the applications (old an new - except the ones used on production line) used in the company are my responsibility, that including most of databases too... Also, English isn't my native language so there will be some words or phrases that I'll probably write wrong... Sorry for that, if there are any corrections, I'll be glad to hear them)
So...
There will be an implementation of new "control point" on the "shipping department" which consists on a electromechanical equipment controlled by a PLC. And despite the original concept was a collaboration between 2 departments (we, IT, and Production Control), I was never taken in consideration about anything of the project... To be fair, I forget about its existence until two weeks ago.
So, a few days I learned that there are a huge delay regarding the original deadline (mainly because the supplier was delayed with the delivery of their system), and since two weeks (less, actually, because some holydays in between) I'm learning how to integrate that "P.o.S" into an existing application on a PC using a serial communication (not the main problem, as I've done that before... With another brand of PLC's) while avoiding buying any additional software (to get the communication done and in a easy way) and that sort of things... But discovering in the process that it will be necessary to acquire such additional SW in order to finish the job ASAP.
When suddenly I get the "news" that it's almost all my duty (and responsibility) to meet the original deadline, because it doesn't matter how the other departments screw all the schedule, it's the job of IT to get the shit done in time... And what is worst: they didn't said that in such straight manner, no, the implied it while making a quick test with the general manager.
I mean, WTF? Besides doing a "respectable" number of "user support" activities in a dialy basis, I also need to manage the activities of other departments? And also fix their screw ups on a schedule that I just learned days before?
And also there is a coworker (one of whom screwed up) that, almost every time she see me, is asking "how much until you'll finish?"
As I read on a meme years ago: "please, give patience, because if you give strength, I'll need bail money too..."
Damn... I don't know of the benefits of this work are worth all this nonsense -
Here it is.
The CS final.
I reached this point in my life.
I hope I won’t forget the base case in recursion like last time and fuck up an entire question.10 -
Quited my Job.
So... How to spend half a salary in a day...
Go to the shrink after like 3 years of not completing my burn out treatment.
Btw been having health problems lately, incapacitating stuff.
Got so many medication that im using a grossery bag.
Also had to quit my job... I just can't work can barely think, have no strength and a pressure in my head all day.
Now.. I was a temp, working in shifts on a shitty badly paid job, so fk it. 3 weeks down time, then I just quitted...
Now, on my parents house, getting 1 day of sick leave means a person doesn't want to work... How am I gonna tell them that I quitted... Lol
A few years ago I had to ear stuff like your lazy and don't want to work up to the day I got couth trying to cut my wrists... And I'm against suicide.
Now I dont know if I should hope my recent health problems are burn out related or not... Because some of the other possibilities are quite bad... I mean worst.
Can't think, fealing depressed because I hate to not be able to give 100%... And I just keep looking at my CNC machine... Finnaly got enough pieces to finish my project, but I can't get the will to do so... And it's there, in front of me, the opportunity to create my own job...
Life sucks5 -
Got my first task today while still being under training (large worldwide corporation - OMS department) and I'm practically drowning! Oh you wonderful devs give me strength!4

Give me strength people, I may have to have an install of stock ubuntu just to use unity because the UI is unusable on Elementary OS...
I feel dirty..12 -
Oh Lord give me the strength and the brainpower to step a way from freelancing or at least overcome the humongous pile of shite tied to the aforementioned barely lucrative activity.
AMEN !!
Recently got a client. We had an agreement on requirements, deadlines and on pricing. It's a job that can be done in a week if all the resources are at hand.
He reaches back a couple of days later and says :
Him: Listen I am on an intermediate...
Me: Mmhmm.
Him: I had a talk with the actual owner and he can only pay you in June.
Me: I see, but that I can't do. That means if the website is live by the 15th I'll have to wait for 2 weeks at least before getting paid.
You'll have to come up with something that makes more sense.

Client emails and asks why a certain element appears on particular page of their website. I respond by saying that they'd asked me to place it there. I then find and forward them the email in which they requested that I place the element on the page. Client replies to forwarded email, "What is this in relation to?".
I must stress that this was all in the space of about two minutes and no other emails were exchanged in-between; there was zero possibility of crossed wires. -
Start new project today. After several years doing C# and Java,now i face new challenge with something that i never heard before.God, please give me strength to do this..
CKAN..Python..OSTicket..Laravel..nice to meet you. -
Client: On the website, the thing won't open when I click on it.
Me: Oh right, what browser are you using?
Client: The one you sent me.
Me: *nrgh* -
people with fit muscular bodies, was there a time in life when you mainly focused on working out and gaining muscles? like doing it for 4-8 hours everyday and not focusing on work/life/studies?
or did you always kept fitness/workout a small part of your routine, like 1-2 hours everyday during free time?
I want to get fit, and i have started to like working out 1 hour everyday . but haven't started taking supplements or mass cutters or stuff like that. recently one of the trainers gave an offer to give me personal training at additional cost. sounded a little shady deal coz am already paying the gym owner a fees, and he wanted to keep it between us.
He emphasized on how he is going to give me a complete 1 hour time each day, but that's what i already expected from him (which he does not. he just tells me the exercises and rarely see me doing them ).
well, if its just about the time, i am still okay with that. but if he started pushing me to workout more, or do those steroids/supplement stuff, i am just not interested completely.
However i am interested in getting a good body. so maybe this intense workout , if done in limit could help. so just wanted to know that have you ever did intense workout or just gradually gained more strength/mass/muscles?13 -
CONTACT BOTNET CRYPTO RECOVERY TO SPY ON YOUR CHEATING PARTNER
Navigating the complexities of online relationships can be challenging, especially when trust begins to erode. When I first started to notice subtle changes in my partner's behavior, I felt a mix of confusion and suspicion clouding my thoughts. I found myself in a maze of doubts, unable to pinpoint the reasons behind the growing distance between us. That's when I heard about Botnet Crypto Recovery, a tool designed to help individuals uncover hidden truths in digital interactions. I realized that this could be the key to addressing my concerns and understanding what was truly happening. With a sense of hope, I decided to give it a try, believing it might assist me in shedding light on the situation. The process of utilizing Botnet Crypto Recovery was surprisingly straightforward, which eased my initial apprehensions. After setting up the software, I was guided through various features designed to track online activities. It offered insights into messaging apps, social media interactions, and even browsing histories. Each step I took felt empowering, allowing me to regain a sense of control over my search for answers. As I delved deeper, I discovered patterns in online behavior that I had previously overlooked, such as late-night messages and secretive app usage. The information started painting a picture that I couldn’t ignore, compelling me to confront the reality of the situation rather than living in denial. As I continued my investigation, I was struck by the emotional weight of what I was uncovering. Every detail felt like a piece of a puzzle slowly coming together, but not in a way I had hoped for. Botnet Crypto Recovery didn’t only give me access to data; it also offered clarity. I remember feeling my heart race as I found evidence that pointed toward unfaithfulness. Each discovery was laced with a bittersweet mixture of relief and anguish. While I appreciated the facts that were coming to light, they also filled me with dread about the future of my relationship. I realized that what I had wanted was to find an explanation, but the answers were leading me down a path I was not prepared to tread. Finding out the truth was both a relief and a burden. Armed with the information from Botnet Crypto Recovery, I had the difficult task of confronting my partner about their behavior. Before this, I had been hesitant and unsure, but now I felt fortified with knowledge. The conversation that followed was one of the hardest I’ve ever had, marked by tension and vulnerability. I was prepared to face reality, whatever it may be, and that felt empowering. It was essential to have that moment, although painful, as it was the turning point in our relationship. I realized that clarity can sometimes come at a steep price, but living in confusion was unbearable. In the aftermath of that confrontation, I came to understand the profound impact of unveiling hidden truths. While the revelations were painful, they also became a catalyst for change. Using Botnet Crypto Recovery not only helped me navigate through the complexities of online behavior, but it also pushed me to reflect on my own needs and desires in a relationship. I learned important lessons about trust, communication, and self-worth. Although the outcome wasn’t what I had hoped for, I felt a renewed sense of strength in my ability to confront challenges head-on. Ultimately, the experience taught me that clarity, even in the midst of discomfort, is crucial for personal growth and understanding.

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful." This quote has always driven me as a truck driver, where every mile I log is for my family’s future, their comfort, security, and dreams. However, my pursuit of stability was shattered when I lost $130,000 in Bitcoin to a cyberattack after a careless decision while delivering goods in California. During one of my routes, I stopped at a shop to take a break and noticed that a Wi-Fi network was available. Thinking it would be convenient to connect and check my crypto accounts, I didn’t consider the potential risks. The moment I saw my empty wallet later that day, my world collapsed. That money represented years of sacrifice, late nights, missed moments, and relentless effort gone in an instant. The guilt and helplessness were crushing. In my desperation, I scoured the internet for solutions, only to hit dead ends until I stumbled upon Salvage Asset Recovery. Initially skeptical but with no other options left, I reached out to Salvage Asset Recovery. Their team responded not just with expertise, but with genuine empathy. They understood the emotional toll this loss had taken on me and my family. Salvage Asset Recovery meticulously traced the stolen funds through the blockchain, working tirelessly to achieve what felt impossible: they recovered my Bitcoin. This ordeal taught me that vulnerability isn’t a weakness; even the most cautious can fall victim to unseen threats. It also reaffirmed the power of resilience and the importance of trusting the right people, like those at Salvage Asset Recovery. This was a harsh reminder of the risks we take in our digital lives, but it also highlighted the strength we can find in community and support. Today, I’m back on the road, driving with renewed purpose. My family is secure, my faith in humanity restored, and my definition of success has been refined. It’s not just about wealth; it’s about perseverance, love, and the courage to seek help when all seems lost. If you’ve faced a similar nightmare, don’t give up. Hope exists, and sometimes, it takes the right ally, like Salvage Asset Recovery, to reclaim what was stolen. Salvage Asset Recovery was my lifeline, proving that even in the darkest moments, redemption is possible. Keep fighting, your success and happiness are worth it. I recovered all my funds, and with that, Salvage Asset Recovery, are the true keys to a fulfilling life.2 -
