Hell is other devs.

I just spent 2 hours configuring my parents' new Huawei wifi router using my phone's Google translate because the UI is all Chinese.

'oh so that's why it was cheaper'

It's 5 to 10am and I'm still in my bed. Daily is at 1015. So fucking difficult to get up lately since there's less sunlight. A couple of weeks ago I was getting up at 7 or 8 by myself. Life gets shitier when autumn begins. 😪

Spotify app is so full of shit. Everything is so slow, downloaded songs still load slow if there is no internet connection, the ui is atrocious. It's so bad I found myself unconsciously switching to using youtube more and more despite it requiring me to keep the screen alive.

So, since yesterday was such a wild ride, I was wondering if any devRant veterans would share for the younger members some memorable/infamous rants and stories from the past?

I used to have a collection of various pressed drink glasses that I collected over time from the office kitchen. Snagged one when I left the company. 😏

Our stand-ups last an hour. 15 minutes of board review and 45 minutes of chit chat. Oh and we have 15 minutes of team coffee in the afternoon every day. My new team sure love talking. 😅

Not awkward, just annoying. Had a recruiter call me out of nowhere and then try to pressure me into immediately declaring my salary expectations straight up saying "so we know you're not wasting our time". You're the one calling me, asshole; I tell him to state his budget so I know he's not wasting my fucking time. He named a sum that was laughable, especially knowing this company offered much more in their own listing.

I'm supporting myself and my girlfriend with my salary but because we're not married I'm taxed as if I was single and would otherwise blow this money on hookers and cocaine. 🤦

Just reminiscing about the time I needed to recover my ldap password and the procedure consisted of an asthmatic tech support dude showing it to me in a giant spreadsheet.

Our management pushes very hard to move most company communications to Facebook Workplace and I'm proud to say that after almost 2 years and with less than a month left here I still haven't made an account. I didn't fucking detox myself from social media to deal with this bullshit at work so that these greedy morons can pretend we're a 'communituh'.

Team during retro: management is full of shit, what can we do about it?
Me, already during notice period: I have some ideas

My company is a joke so I wrote my resignation in comic sans. 🤷🏼‍♀️

hello devRant. I've been lurking for some time but I have angers and grievances I'd like to air too.
