In the tabs vs spaces debate I'm on the tabs side of things, but I have no problems with spaces.
But if you indent your entire code with 1 space and then indent everything else with 3,5,7... etc. I will hunt and kill you.

My game design & dev teacher. He was a level designer for an old german game company so he wasn't actually a proper programmer.
What made him a good teacher was he knew what he could teach and what was beyond his skills, and encouraged self study in those areas.
Not that many did, but those who did are all decent devs now.

Convinced the boss we should move to .NETCore 5 because *future proofing*
and *security*.
Now I get to use records and can use all that fancy syntactic sugars.
Life's good.

So today in discord one guy cracked this banger:
"Engineering in a nutshell"

Engineer A: *explains for 20minutes how to solve the problem in a very complex way*
Engineer B: "Or you could just put a screw here"
A: Dude that can't....
A: Fuck you you're right
B: you're welcome

Applicable in any engineering department, software included! xD

When you open a SQL File and you just here Maligaro whisper in your ear: " do you know the true face of nightmare, exile?"

If you use ID selectors in a stylesheet for a component you reuse in the page multiple times you should be shot.

This is influenced by my current situation but best tool: Visual Studio. Versatile and rich debugger, good language integration for what I do. Worst tool: eclipse. What the fuck is this permacrashing nightmare of an application. And what the actual fuck are these keybinds.

So I want to build myself a custom buttonbox for star citizen and warthunder, my hotas really doesn't have enough or fittingly placed buttons for either of those games. What would be the best approach for this?
My first thought was to take an arduino or some AVR chip on an USB connection and write a custom JoyStick driver but that would be a major pain on the buttocks.
Also would I buy an Arduino or go full custom stuff and buy some chip from TI and DIY the board completly?

On the other hand if I'm gonna tinker with stuff on my own time I propably should pick up an ARM processor so I get familiar with the architecture, but that's propably overkill.
But 8-bit AVR is so constrained so maybe if I want to expand and create something like an MFD the poor 8266 would propably just go up in flames.

Has anybody a better idea or knows some ready to rock board for this kinda stuff? Best case scenario with a Joystick driver or something?

Politician or Actor. I acted in plays since my childhood, even though only minor roles, and my interest in politics is still high to this day. And if none of these had worked out I would've become a soldier. Leo goes wroooooom.

*me logging into the demo system*
Me: so what is the login data?

Boss: admin admin.

Can somebody please explain to me why I need to be an expert at witchcraft & dark magic just to merge 2 SVN branches. And why the fuck anybody still uses SVN when there's git.

We're installing a new kitchen right now and basically every 2 hours I have to help carry something.

Today I've got the energy of a wet matchstick in a dark cellar.

FUCK TOMCAT
FUCK JAVA

To my fellow windows users:
Anybody else using the fullscreen startmenu?
I prefer it over the classic one, just using the entire screen to give me quickaccess to programs seems like the better way to me.

Happy fucking christmas I hate being a christian.

I just love customers:
Customer: "ftps doesnt work! It says Port blocked you are using the wrong port! Fix this now!"
Me: "did you open the port and allow it through the firewall?"
C: " yeah ofc i opened the ports on the server! Do you think i'm stupid?"
M: "On the client too?"
C: "...."
C: " let me call back in 30min"

I propably mentioned it in an earlier rant but my father was a programmer, my grandfather was a programmer, and thus my son shall be too.

SAP shit. Bad documentation by design.

Just had a presentation of my application. There was an error my colleague knew about but didnt tell me because I should've asked him. After he went full shittalk mode on me because of a different bug.
Yeah that was totally my communication mistake. I also expect people I just shittalked with all my energy to ask nicely for the other bug i didnt mention.

I'm a 3rd generation developer in my family, my grandfather did it, my father did it, and my grandson will do it.

Yeah a week late but I got an update: I'm propably gonna get reduced to 20% work/pay. Yay.

So management decided that they wanted to reduce the infection chance by 50%. How? Half of the employees are gonna be working from home. I mean they are technically right.
