@Condor
The cursed words have been spoken.

@spyke I'll log in this evening and screen cap a few.

Prog in the morning, death metal in the afternoon, metal and blues at night.

Instinct moreso than need.
But yes.

Money makes the weak willed compromise his morals.

The worst kind of bugs are the ones that bug me while I'm debugging. Little buggers, which they would bugger off.

@JKyll

Likely a rudimentary understanding of networks.
The problem isn't getting in, it's covering your tracks.

I have the time of my life with people who watch a few YouTube videos and think they can compromise a whole corporate network. Well, if the network admin is a dumbass then yeah you probably could. But if he is worth his weight in salt, screwed x 2

@brano88

Where I worked previously, the same was apparent. The lead Dev was self taught, but his knowledge on, well every language the company worked in, was insane.

@bioDan

The fucking dictator part would be no word of a lie.

I'll gently remind them that I have 35 days of leave due to them not letting me take leave as well.

Thank you for the continuous support and advice.

@Brosyl
I built most of the servers the company uses. It would hurt me so badly to have them compromised.

Although, Citrix app servers does get a little wonky when the licensing services registry keys are chsnged. And citrix has a pretty bad logging system.

Evil maniacal laugh.

Seriously though. I took a moral oath to myself that I would first hurt the person, then what would have been the servers I administered.

The director told me there was no money for a raise a while ago, and then went about bought himself a Jag and hired two irrelevant employees. If I was a worse person, I would do some horrible things.

But I'm too good and don't burn Bridges. I build them and then walk over them.

Is he going to be using Budgie, or ParrotOS?

She must be really good at making passwords - or ran out of passwords and called you.

I deal with people like this at least once a month - users are special people.

Welcome.

Enjoy your stay.

Dev.

Rant.

Needs more JPEG

You know, I hadn't really given too much thought on the font in my coding. I just find myself comfortable with one or two.

Now, you have opened a can of worms - and I am going through fonts like mad.

I generally go grab a cup of coffee, then watch an episode of something, then browse some devRant, then drink another cup of coffee, then...

Oh shit, my beard grew to Gandalf proportions.

So, as an update -

I spoke to the relevant parties as mentioned here, and the director has basically laid it out to me like this:

Either you do the app by Friday (which is building a fully fledged application that would take me about two weeks to finish), or "you are going to be sorry".

I am currently speaking to a few friends this side, and I shall have new employment within the next two months as a Junior Dev.

Going to be quite a change from Sys Admin to Junior dev (responsibilities changing, stress differences). Will likely be something that will take some time to get used to, but it will be worth it.

Applicable, for once.

Perhaps it was an IT course in networking? Or in a field that doesn't pertain to programming?

@S-Homles I guess there's a use for it still then.

@Wack

I have thought prior of the paper trail. I have kept everything documented.

I read through your points, and you make a lot of cohesive and precise logical points.

I appreciate you taking the time to answer, and I'll definitely take what you said into serious consideration.

@bioDan
Your words resonate in my head like a bell being struck.

There are a lot of atrocities that occur within the office space, but one tends to turn a blind eye to the trepidation.

I'm talking to HR tomrorow, and seeing how this pans out.

Thanks for the subtle advice and support.

No.
"if it hasn't been backed up, don't touch it"

I deal with this far too often. Best of luck.

Some terrible luck there. Sorry you had to go through that.

Seen a client using XP, who refuses to upgrade.

He should get a badge for loyalty.

The corporate world is filled with people who will try and put the blame of their shortcomings on you.

What defines you, is how you deal with them.

That, and you get to rant about it. The familiarity breeds the though of, "yeah, f*** that guy."

Now I just have the SEGA screen sound in my head. I remember opening Sonic, and then... SAAAAAAYGAAAAAH

Found very little wrong when I code in windows (when I'm done with an online game, and too lazy to switch on my laptop that has Linux - I code in windows too.

Perhaps you just have bad Iuck

Sugar, quality, and everything textual - these were the ingredients used to create the perfect little post - but Professor lxmcf accidently added an extra ingredient to the concoction --- Chemeical SHIT.

POOF
