Decided to spend my weekend on a little side project that I thought I could finish quickly.
Not only does my code not work, but what I wrote is so horrible that I'm honestly ashamed. Its like the despicable porn that you sometimes end up watching and the horror of realizing what the hell you just watched after you finish - I thought my code was good, but really, it was trash.
Before I started writing I though to myself, "I'll finish this project and then I'll upload it to my Github to expand my repository", but now I cringe at the thought of someone else reviewing this pile of shit I call my code.
It's 2 am here in Israel. I know I should go to sleep, but I'll just stare at the ceiling, feeling unproductive because everything I did today is literally worthless.
How the fuck do I justify this shit to myself? Calling this a "learning experience" feels like a fucking joke.
Honestly, I don't know why I chose Python to do OOP when Kotlin would have served me much better.
But, there's always tomorrow, isn't there?2 -
Horror Story Time:
Acouple thousand years ago, before the great plage and the rise of the machines I met the founders of a startup , they visited silico valey, one of them worked in san francisco, but they were struggling, So they fired the senior engineer who built their system, and decided to contract out their development.
Their system relied heavily on Location data, it was very central for their business and they used Google APIs, so a few months after they let go of the dude, google starts billing them. Founders did not want to pay so they contracted out a junior dev to fix the issue... And he fixed it.
On that same weekend they attended a big convention, invested a good chunk of money there, registration numbers skyrocketed, huge success. Come monday morning they call me on Skype.
There was no location data in the new accounts, zero, zilch, nada. The "fix" the freelancer did was disabling Google integration altogether, They never tested the stuff properly, just accepted the changes and went with it.
I don't know if they went under because of this, or if this was just the a part of the issue. But sure enought the company lasted less then a Year after that.5 -
BEST BITCOIN RECOVERY COMPANY |CRYPTOCURRENCY RECOVEY HIRE CYBER CONSTABLE INTELLIGENCE
One evening on a Friday after work, I found myself in a terrifying situation. I had just finished a long week and was looking forward to unwinding over the weekend when I decided to check on my cryptocurrency holdings. To my horror, I discovered that my XRP had become trapped on a cryptocurrency exchange called Crypto change, which I later realized was operated by scammers. Crypto change had always seemed like a reliable platform, but now, under strict geopolitical restrictions, it had suddenly become impossible to access my funds. Every attempt to withdraw my XRP was blocked, and I was left helpless, with no way to recover my assets. The value of my XRP had grown to over $100,000, and the thought that it might be permanently out of my reach was overwhelming. Panic set in as I realized I had fallen victim to a fraudulent exchange, and all of my usual recovery methods seemed useless. Desperate for a solution, I reached out to Cyber Constable Intelligence, a firm known for its expertise in Cryptocurrency Recovery. I didn’t know what to expect, but I was willing to try anything at that point. From the moment I contacted them, I felt a sense of relief. The team at Cyber Constable Intelligence sprang into action immediately, understanding the severity of my situation. They knew that Crypto change wasn’t just an exchange with withdrawal issues, it was a scam designed to trap unsuspecting investors like me. However, they assured me they had the skills and experience to navigate this challenging scenario. The experts at Cyber Constable Intelligence quickly identified vulnerabilities in Crypto change's KYC (Know Your Customer) processes, weaknesses that the scammers had overlooked. They put together a detailed plan to exploit these gaps, enabling them to move my XRP to a secure wallet, bypassing the scam exchange’s restrictions. It wasn’t an easy task. The process took several weeks of careful, discreet work. The team had to balance security measures while avoiding detection from the exchange’s administrators. Throughout the recovery, I was kept informed of their progress, and their dedication was evident. In the end, their efforts paid off. My XRP, valued at $100,000, was safely moved from Crypto change to a secure wallet under my control. Thanks to the relentless effort and expertise of Cyber Constable Intelligence, I regained access to my trapped funds. The professionalism and skill they displayed in handling my case were extraordinary. I can now breathe easy, knowing my investment is safe, and I owe it all to their exceptional service and dedication.

My work laptop broke over the weekend and now I have to use a replacement device… (cue the horror film music) …with Windows 10! (no, not 3628800)
So far I've gone mad about 20 times, including white font on white background, Chrome freezing on login, blurry font, Edge and Bing being opened all the time, displaying the "Users" folder as "Benutzer", despite it not being named that, …
I thought I could avoid Windows 10, I'll leave this company in a few months anyway. But no, the old laptop decided to die with almost the worst possible timing. At least it wasn't early May, then I'll write my final exams, including a five-day-project.
Also, who thought it was a good idea to put the "End" button NOT at the end of the keyboard? I've remapped it on three of my four laptops so far (one already had this arrangement), but on this one I don't even have admin rights. So I press the wrong button every minute or so.1
