So, do you sell liquids or gasses? 🤔

A young guy I work with burst into tears today, I had no idea what happened so I tried to comfort him and ask what was up.

It appears his main client had gone nuts with him because they wanted him to make an internet toolbar (think Ask.com) and he politely informed them toolbars doesn't really exist anymore and it wouldn't work on things like modern browsers or mobile devices.

Being given a polite but honest opinion was obviously something the client wasn't used to and knowing the guy was a young and fairly inexperienced, they started throwing very personal insults and asking him exactly what he knows about things (a lot more than them).

So being the big, bold, handsome senior developer I am, I immediately phoned the client back and told them to either come speak to me face-to-face and apologise to him in person or we'd terminate there contract with immediate effect. They're coming down tomorrow...

So part my rant, part a rant on behalf of a young developer who did nothing wrong and was treated like shit, I think we've all been there.

We'll see how this goes! Who the hell wants a toolbar anyway?!

Don't you love it when you spend hours working on a project, only to find out later that you've somehow broke something else?

‎Ways of doing a for loop.

Writing tons of code without testing and it all works

When someone says I develop website using wix

Python is the boss!

Woaahh 😅

My life...

The building is booting.
Please come back later!

Boss: Don't be afraid to break things
Me: *breaks things*
Boss: Why did you break things?
Me: ...

I tried something new. Otherwise, I am hitting a wall.

True! 😂

I have really been digging the Material Theme for Sublime and JetBrains IDE's.

Every hour or so someone shows up at my desk requesting a query to be executed.

I feel like I'm just a human-sql interface.

Welcome to the future

On a break I went into a Best Buy to browse laptops. I had no intention on buying from them because they suck, but I just wanted to touch a few and look at specs. A salesman then thought it was a smart idea to approach me. Immediately, he was talking down to me about specs and asking if I needed it for email, Facebook, Instagram, and the like. I'll be honest, I am super girlie in my appearance and mannerisms. So I get it, I suppose. The big pseudo-nerd is going to help the little girl find a cute, social media laptop. He actually walked me over to a pink HP Stream lol. Sure, I like pink, but I don't want a useless paperweight of a machine. When I mentioned I need a new rig for coding, he actually chuckled and said "really?". So I replied "yes really, you presumptuous cockbag" and walked out. Needless to say, I won't be buying there.

So I’m working on an app with a friend who is designing it and I spent a week building a custom segment control as a menu bar. He said that it looked nice but he got inspiration to make a tab bar instead 😑
Cheers to the dev life

And it ran forever

For any job, you can include in your resume, without a hint of lying, that you are Time magazine person of the year 2006. Seriously.

Find out the company hiring and apply directly to the company. Don't go through a 3rd party agency if you can avoid it. It gives the company a massive saving and a great incentive to hire you.

While most people want the force to get stuff like a TV remote, I want to use it to get people thinking how they can solve their problems independently

Anyone knows a good source for Pc/laptop stickers?

That WTF moment before you realise the code is asynchronous...

Every "hacking" scene in every movie.

She: Do dates make you nervous?

He: Oh yes, especially when the client and server are in different timezones and I need to calculate the difference and they are in different formats and I mean why can’t everyone just use ISO8601, right?

She: Okay never mind bye..........

Now that's a creative hack
