I think I'm never laughing again about other people misery.

After this enjoyable rant
https://devrant.com/rants/1261531/...

I got fucked in the ass:

The meeting got delayed to 2018-03-28

They discarded the prototype

I have to develop this fucking shit practically all alone

I'm so fucking pissed that I scheduled a fucking 3 hours meeting to monday and who dares to fucking go off topic on this meeting is gonna be fucking harassed for real.

Looks like I'm destined to be fucked in the ass every time I'm on vacation...

This boss : https://devrant.com/rants/1330624/...

Told me he is gonna implement the new backend of a web app we have while I'm on vacation...
He was trying stuff with python for it and I tried to explain him the benefits of polymorphism and the ideas behind it and he was looking clueless, as always...

I'm screwed... Last time I went on vacation they started using react ( no complains ) and firebase ( fuck this shit ) ...

Now we are moving this web app away from firebase but I can see it is gonna be shit and a lot of rants will follow from his "back end" that this motherfucker here is gonna have to help implement after 2 weeks of fucked up code...

TL;DR
5 day deadline with stupid requests.

So, after these series of events:
https://devrant.com/rants/1306582/...

https://devrant.com/rants/1303776/...

I was full on sarcasm mode yesterday and heard my name in a conversation between my boss and a front end dev ( my boss sits literally behind me ) ...
They were talking about improvements on the web app that I made in a rush to a meeting.

I was there thinking : fuck.. Don't ask... Don't ask

But I could not restrain my self and I did ask: hey, what's that about? It isn't for the meeting at day April's 9 , is it? ( in a "of course not" tone )

He said it is... With the most annoying dumb smile face he always does ( I'm convinced he might be retarded )

And I just : can't be done.

So we started chatting about it... How it is gonna be presented to our manager on Monday ( April's 2 ) for approval and how we are gonna implement it by April's 9.

Stick with me on this one:

I'm the sole dev.
The only one that know the back end tech.
The only one that deals with the servers.

I'm heeling you : 5 fucking days isn't enought!

Its gonna be 5 days if, and only if everything is approved by Monday fucking morning. Which I bet my asshole isn't gonna be.

So let's pretend we have 5 days to change the fucking logic of how shdt works we still need the data to put in there... Aaahh the data... That shit is the fucking holy-grail around here... Impossible to find.

And he said it is important for a 2nd round of investment that we do that.

These people are fucking insane...
I really don't know what to think... I'm gonna have to go full rage-mode once more to accomplish this?
I'm already burned down from the last couple weeks doing that.

I used my last energy with the last rush... For nothing.

A rather long(it's 8 hrs long to be precise) story

So I just finished an amazing homework assignment. The goal was to open a new shell on Linux using a C program. We were asked to follow instructions from http://phrack.org/issues/49/14.html . However the instructions given were for 32 bit processors and we had to do same for 64 bit machines. In a nutshell we had to write a 64 bit shell code and use buffer-overflow technique to change the return address if the function to our shell code.

I was able to write my own shellcode within 1hr and was able to confirm that it's working by compiling with nasm and all. Also the "show-off-dev" inside me told me to execute "/bin/bash" instead of "/bin/sh"(which everyone else was going to do). After my assembly code was properly executing shellcode, I was excited to put it in my C code.
For that, I needed opcodes of assembly code in a string. Following again the "show-off-dev" inside me, I wrote a shell script which would extract the exact opcodes out of objdump output. After this I put it in my C code, call my friend and tell him that "hell yeah bro, I did it. Pretty sure sir is gonna give me full marks etc etc etc". I compiled the code and BOOM, IT SEGFAULTS RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FRIEND. Worst, friend had copied a "/bin/sh" code from shellstorm and already had it working.

Really burned my ego, I sat continuously for 8 hrs in front of my laptop and didn't talk to anyone. I was continuously debugging the code for 8 hrs. Just a few minutes ago, I noticed that the shellcode which I'm actually putting in my C code is actually 2 bytes shorter than actual code length. WHAT THE F. I ran objdump manually and copied the opcodes one by one into the string (like a noob) and VOILA ! IT WORKED !!!

TURNS OUT I DIDN'T CUT THE LAST COLUMN OF OPCODES IN MY SHELL SCRIPT. I FIXED THAT AND IT WORKED !!
THE SINGLE SHITTY NUMBER MADE ME STRUGGLE 8 HRS OF MY LIFE !! SMH

Lessons learnt :
1)Never have such an ego that makes you think you're perfect, cuz you're retarded not perfect
2)Examine your scripts properly before using them
3)Never, I repeat NEVER!! brag about your code before compiling and testing it.

That's it!
If you've read this long story, you might as well press the "++" button.

Deadline is tomorrow as per this rant

https://devrant.com/rants/1363701/...

I taught my boss how to work his way around spring-boot + maven + jpa, I did a really good job with the classes and interfaces so he could update the project while I was on my two week vacation.

I set up CI/CD so no one should have to ssh into servers to make master branch live and I set up webhooks on gitlab to warn me on slack if anyone pushed any code.

Tomorrow is the deadline.
Tomorrow is the last day of my vacation.
No pushes made to gitlab, hence no deployment trigerred.

I'm here wondering if the fucker will push it on the last minute just to fuck it up tremendously.

Tomorrow I'm going to the movies and gonna turn my phone off :)

Spent the last 15 days deep into Golang and suddenly I stumbled upon Buffalo (https://github.com/gobuffalo)

Damn, it is fucking awesome.

Just wanted to share it.

Apparently I'm surrounded by morons...

For the past 7 days since I was ordered to learn react wich originated this rant https://devrant.io/rants/805055/...

I somehow know more of it then my team that is on it for the past month or more.

Looks like the "standard" is to pass refs everywhere instead of proper props/state utilization.

At first I was confused by the usefulness and credibility of it but after a literal 1 fucking minute google search I found it to be a bad practice discouraged even by official docs.

Wtf? No one read the docs?
