Welcome to the ultimate 🤡🌎 . You are in my domain now.

Today I was told I can't use the word retrofit in a sentence because I have to 'use words a nice year old would understand'

There's being an effective communicator and then there's becoming a soulless, creativity killing nazi

Developers in India are expected to work with the US counterparts at their comfortable time. And due to the VISA rules in the US, the people there get to travel often to India for trainings, whereas no travel at all here 🥲🥲

Women rights weren't given to you by the government. They were given to you by girls throwing bricks at cops.

Always fucking remember fucking scroll fucking position in your fucking web app you fucking bitch

Unpopular opinion: Don't trust anyone at your work place.

Third-world countries like Russia do deplorable shit. First-world countries do deplorable shit too. The difference is I can be vocally anti-Biden in the US without a red-hot soldering iron being inserted into my rectum by the police.

If you're homeless, just buy a house

The builder pattern sucks shit.

There I said it.

Person marked the ticket as ready for review, but if you merged the PR, no effective changes would have been applied to the codebase as all line additions were commented out 🫠

For the love of buggery, stop watching bloody videos on your bloody phone with the bloody volume turned up.

I was thinking about something, just starting to get in the zone, when suddenly that tinny little speaker opened up a portal into the howling chaos of the underworld.

It sounds like cats fucking in an empty grain silo.

For the next half an hour, there is no room in my head for anything apart from the diabolical echoes of that bollock-wrenchingly hideous noise.

After a week’s vacation, I felt the briefest feeling of being a person again. I was able to do something small and enjoy it, and even planned to do another small thing.

Code freeze is such an idiotic concept. What year do we have? Just make a goddamn release branch and do your codefreezy things there. Why the fuck would we stop the entire development just because you can't figure out git?

FUCK LEGACY CODE.

My memory is a minefield.

Today, I had new instructions at my work : report what I do
- in the redmine ticket
- in the project slack channel
- in the project manager's slack channel
- in the slack channel where there are 3 people monitoring
- face to face
- in an activity report
and this, several times a day

Can we call this micromanagement ? 🤯

I will never not laugh at this

He did not 😢

Hot Take
Eclipse IDE is a shit application

Don't products have disclaimers that say where they shouldn't be used? Are people just not reading these?

Cat of the day

Many people want a cashless society. This is especially useful when:

- you just lost your bank card.
- the banks mobile payment app isn't working at all.
- its Saturday evening.

I'm so fucking glad that I've got some cash left at home and that cash is still a valid payment method 😅

Is anyone else hard on themselves when making a console application since it’s not as fancy as a GUI application? Idk why but I am. But like I prefer the console applications for performance and simplicity but I’m still hard on myself idk

TLDR I’m retarded

Also thanks to one of my last posts comments for clarifying it should be at the bottom

TLDR2 I’m even more retarded

Shared screen with a client over Skype. Showed them in Postman that their API wasn't working as expected. It was expecting a json. Instead it was giving error code 400 instead of 200.
Message :
"Error: No error. All OK"

I'll never forget the words of the client:

"Don't use all this fancy software, you don't know how to call APIs, open Internet Explorer or chrome and paste it in the bar. You'll see All OK, means all is okay."

*insert you dense mf meme here*

Sorry if I make a typo, my hands a still a little shaky, just had to stop myself from crying.

This morning I came in, opened my email, saw an automated response from Jira saying .... saying ..... saying the backend team provided details about their new endpoint.

After a year of screaming, they finally did it. It was so beautiful I fell to the floor and wept like a baby.

Thank you all for your support through this difficult time. Together we can accomplish anything!!!

Rumour has it the driver is still stuck inside...

A co-worker/friend came in to work this morning and told me how amazing his interview went yesterday and how amazing the company is. He said he won't know if he got the position till Monday after they interview the other guy.

I didn't have the heart to tell him that the other person they are interviewing is me. I think it might get awkward when Monday comes and I'm not at work and he realizes why.

Everyone is abusing that word "Urgently" in email.

My mom never touched a PC or smartphone. Well, most people didn't back then, because it was the early 90s.

But I brought a borrowed SNES to the hospital and taught her to blow on the Zelda cartridge if it didn't work. She died after we finished the game.

After that my dad bought me a commodore 64, the machine that taught me about electronics and programming, and molded me into who I am today.

On the first date with my girlfriend (now 12y together) we just sat talking for hours in her room, playing Zelda on her SNES taking turns, and I told her my mom would have liked her.

Are you fucking retarded?

This is a real review for dR
