Manager: our file IO is slow, any suggestions to make it faster?

Code: multithread writing to a few hundred small (temp) files then single thread combine to one big file and delete the temp files.

Eyes: bleeding

In 2022 be like

Manager: We need to setup the security in the Mexico server

Dev: You mean that 3rd party firewall add on?

Manager: Yes

Dev: And set up the billing on the Mexico account?

Manager: Yes

Dev: lol, sure thing I’ll create the ticket

Manager: What’s so funny?

Dev: Nothing

Ticket: Build wall and get Mexico to pay for it.

Well, well, well, my new year's gift:

Someone is jamming thousands of requests per second, and NO firewall. JWT tokens that expires in 3 HOURS.

Now MORE THAN 40K stolen.

But, where did it come from? https://devrant.com/rants/4961285/...

I got a contract with this schools to build a student portal,

I do all the needful and the project whatever guy insists that I use their current shared hosting to host this MERN stack application.

first of all, cPanel is my least favorite place when it comes to deploying, I actually dont do deploying I just hand it over to whoever is the IT guy there.

I discovered there's no provision for nodejs in their current plan, I go through all the stress of contacting the shitty customer support and the process of squeezing out useful information from them.

I'm only doing this because the project whatever has refused to pay me until their site is deployed. throughout the process of creating this project I had setup continous deployment on heroku and netlify and I had to beg this guy to look at the changes and review them.

well, today I asked the former guy that built the current site for the login details to the schools dashboard on the hosting providers site and he says he used his personal details for it, according to him projects from other organizations are there too.

I swear I'm going to loose my shit, freelancing sucks

Priscilla Chomba in her TEDx talk "A free and fair internet benefits" said the following:

"We need to actively and collectively ensure that going forward, everyone has access to a free, fair and feminist internet."

How do you make the internet feminist? Call it La Interneta?

Don't say thank you I understand!

So, after reading a post I started wondering...
Would you prefer to work in a toxic environment but have a good salary or work in a good environment for minimum wage?

I'm in the second position right now.

Happy holidays

During my rookie days I used to glorify the fact that I wrote production grade code using vim.

Lol, explains why I would delay on delivery

well, true

Who's watchin the JWST launch?

On this special holiday, #DevStory# wishes you all:

MERRY CHRISTMAS

:)

Wish You And All Your Families A Very Happy Christmas 🌲🌲🌲🎄🎄🎄🎅🎅🎅🎁🎁🎁🤝🤝🤝

I knew this guy was pure evil.
Deployment on friday night !
And that too before Christmas.
Thank god Santa doesnt use Tesla

If a sentence could cause epilepsy this would be the one:

Finally got some free time cook for myself a lunch...

Don't have worry about the company project anymore.

😋

Happy holidays.....unless you're a Windows PC

polymorphic relationships are fucking stupid. it's a great way to make your shit more complex and less maintainable for no benefit other than having 1 less table (which also makes queries slower since they can't be optimized correctly).

Merry Christmas to the whole pile of you! ⛄

Unless you don't want a merry Christmas. Then that's fine as well

New project team name needed

Random team name generator suggested "The snowballers"

Errrr no I don't think so 🤢

To whom it may concern:
The Monty Python argument skit does not exist.

My best experience this year was to be the project manager of a software project and my worst experience was to work alone on this project.

I'm building a desktop Java application, the build is running from 20 minutes and it keeps going... and people still mocks C++ for being slow in building

If you don't let the company enslave you then you're not a team player.

Also, you're definitely NOT flexible!

So today this Mother F**ker get HR to back him up to accuse me of not communicating well in the team because I consistently asked him (the code owner) why he kept coding not following the coding guideline.

How is it not communicating? He literally ghosted me and blocked me every time I ask him questions. Which I somewhat don't understand what he is trying to do. HR lady told me that a senior software engineer should have the knowledge to understand everything and all the code.

But the code looks like this :

I’m so stupid for not starting a Youtube channel or buying Bitcoin.

Me in 2021: I have no idea what all that stuff in Node is for. All I know is that my boss says I need Node and gulp to compile this website to add a comma to a paragraph on a page for this client.

gulp
