Whenever anyone refers to software engineering as "IT" 😵

I use wake on lan to turn on a server 2 meters from me.

I can't tell you how many hours have been lost because I have accidently clicked and dragged a file in to some random spot in the solution explorer!

There's a huge difference between cloning (flappy birds) a successful product of software and making a better version of something (instacart). It requires having creativity, talent, and a desire to truly make something great.

I can't take this Swift compile time anymore. It's up to 40 minutes now and all we can say is "optimize the code" and "get faster computers"

When debugging, why oh why do I forget that multiple browser consoles can be open and then get frustrated when refreshing the tab doesn't show my changes?!

An interns excuse to not do work, "I'm a Java developer, not objc" are you really even a Dev at all smart ass?

When you want to install devRant on your pretty old phone and find out it's not compatible...
Guess it's time for a new phone then

How many remote workers here?

In hindsight, sending WoL to an untested machine while 30 kilometers away was not a very smart idea.

The machine is up, but does not respond to pings and is unreachable.

I currently don't have access to my good computer, so I installed a remote control software on it. I also made sure I could turn it on over the internet (Wake on LAN).
This worked well for some time: I powered it on remotely and after a few seconds I was able to connect to it.
Now what I didn't know was that WoL only works if the computer has been shut down completely. It does not work if it's in standby mode.
So I turned it on today, but didn't establish a connection immediately, and after a few minutes, it apparently fell asleep (standby). Now I can't reach it remotely, and I also can't wake it up again with WoL. And as I don't have physical access to it for about a month, so my only hope is that there is a power cut and it will be shut down the hard way.

Had to fix some stuff in the documentation for my internship... boot up Windows in a VM to use Word, virtual machine crashes *twice* for no apparent reason, making me lose some unsaved progress and somehow all the pictures in the document got a read error.

Ah well, should be done with it now (:

I chopped of my dick accidentaly, while trying to fix my javascript code

I just want to get a job developing. Currently doing heavy equipment. I'm still in school but damn I need experience.

Feel boring on Sat.
Open laptop and refactor a bit of code. Haha
