To make a lot of money and get out of this field as soon as possible

leave the job, keep the salary

Okay, here's a rant for you: neo fucking vim and their fucking wrapper plugins for wrapper plugins for wrapper plugins for plugins "tHat'S wRitTen in LOWAA". The fuck is wrong with you, you fucking dumpshits?! Bram was right to not get involved in this bullshit!!

Java is like Alzheimer's, it starts off slow, but eventually, your memory is gone.

coding elves...

After days of trying I finally got Vulkan to render something and I regret it I absolutely regret it

Reddit is a fun place to watch talentless streamers and feel better about yourself.

People who fall for headlines like "Learn React in 5 minutes" are among the first to be replaced by bots.

In this company master branch is abused more than the hand brake in fast and furious

> You need to make this small change, it won't cause any problem I swear

The small change:

There are so many weird hacks in the quite legacy app I work with I could write a book about all them hacks…

But I must admit, the worst of them all is internal time. Yes, so some blockhead thought it’s a good idea to represent time in a manner completely removed from Datetime objects or timestamps or even string representations. Instead we deal with them as intervals represented by integers - and because this is not fucked up enough by itself, the internal time doesn’t start at midnight, yet the integer representations do. It’s a bloody mess. No wonder most of the bugs we face have to do with dates and time…

Training the beast!
Hopefully I will submit my paper soon, and then I can share a video of the beast in action :)

what was I doing?

my colleague was ordered to the site of a customer who had claimed that our software was a total bunch of crap and nothing was working. they had created a list with something 100 bullet points of the bugs they had found in our software that made it impossible to work with. since their production was relying on it they were really pissed off. after a very uncomfortable meeting where they angrily disclosed the situation, finally he got access to the system they were working with. after a few minutes he found that the system's GPU and hard disk drivers were totally outdated and devices weren't even working correctly. after he had updated all drivers, our software worked perfectly fine. at least the customers were kind of embarrassed afterwards... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

!rant I finished crocheting the capelet I was working on. Not too bad for a first attempt, I think!

There's one thing I hate about the new year. Everyone assumes it's the best time to do some cleanup, some maintenance. As the year starts fresh - everyone should start fresh, right?

NOT!

No, Hetzner, you don't need to restart my servers on Dec 26th.
No, local VPS providers, you don't need to clean-up all my /tmp/ files for me on Dec 29th, leaving me in the dark and unaware I have to restart my apps.

That's just a dick move. Your intentions might be alright, but the consequences... Damn you!

Interviewer: "I'll checked your GitHub, your side projects looks very interesting! Tell me about your other hobbies. "

Me:"Other hobbies? "

Manager: How come the intern does way more tickets than you?

Dev: Because you told me to only give him the easy ones since he either can’t do them otherwise or takes too long on the hard ones

Manager: Well how is he going to learn if we only give him easy ones?

Dev: That’s what I told you when you orig—

Manager: Assign him ALL of the hard tickets on your board immediately!

*Tickets closed per day drops significantly*

Manager: WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG ON THESE TICKETS!!!!!

Dev: …

My code review nightmare is reviewing C++ code that was written by Matlab people. Letting them commit code without reviewing it will surely bring Armageddon, but having to watch these horrors...
Functions signature like 'void func(int arr[3])'. Nononononono.

At the end of the day, we all have our little dirty secrets.

I fucking LOVE when visual studio crashes while I'm debugging.

You know
I really do hate node

Yet I find I enjoy hating node

I literally just got a ticket that says "make the scrolling easier"

gonna be a great fucking day

Some people write unreadable horse shit pretending to be code it even puzzles the computer.

Photoshop in my country with a low dollar exchange rate, literally required 1/10th of my monthly salary when I was a beginner.

Literally go fuck yourself Adobe.

Microsoft Fucking Sharepoint for development

I always fall for it ...
