Some are a bit cross eyed or have weird corner drops on the side of the mouth, but sleep drunk me is super impressed.3 -
HTML/CSS, as a person who strongly prefers strong languages which nearly guarantee only a single way to explain each possible command there is nothing more to say.

Microsoft seriously hates security, first they do enforce an numer, upper and lowercase combined with a special character.
But then they allow no passwords longer than 16 characters....
After that they complain that "FuckMicrosoft!1" is a password they've seen to often, gee thanks for the brute force tips.
To add insult to injury the first displayed "tip" take a look at the attached image.rant password security security 101 security fail annoyance passwords passwords stupid practices microsoft13 -
To all the business owners, it's good to have employee's. It means you get to do their jobs besides your own too.1

Got an excesa rpi2, booting from usb, with external rtc. Has been replaced so it doesn't have a purpouse any more.
Anyone got some good ideas?
Was thinking about a two way mirror and a small screen for some in bathroom displaying, but other than that I'm out of ideas.3 -
Coworker who ignored a closed door (like everyone does, but all had been warned) for the umpteenth time.

Sometimes the best "bug" are the troll posts, although personally I agree with it (even though a separate byte for both \r and \n make sense to keep for other purposes).7

The dutch government started using "mono" as a slogan against distracted driving.
The only thing that enters my mind every time it's on is the mono project....1 -
Enabled a mysql optimization once, corrupted the whole live DB on a sunday while I was an hour away from the nearest internet connection.....
Luckily we had a live replication server so not much was lost (though uploading it over a 14mbit connection takes a long time for 30GB) -
Programmers hell, spending an eternity being told every little coding error you made and every stupid little thing you missed.2

Sometimes the pebkac is so strong it continues to amaze me.
Step 1: customer updates pos software
Step 2: customer is presented a perfectly reasonable UAC screen with yes/no choice
Step 3: customer panics and takes no further action
Step 4: a few hours later the first customer enters the store and more panic ensues as the update is still waiting on the uac
Step 5: the customer calls us in panic and acuses us of writing shut incomprehensible software
Wish this was an once in a year exception, untill we wrote a bypass for the whole uac crap this was a daily occurance.3 -
Difficult things that would never make me any money. Hell they were okay with me being a ballet dancer, but nothing with it/technology was ever good enough.

Spent two days writing an automated UAC bypass via the task scheduler because most customers are litteraly too stupid to press the yes button....

Just getting a pizza, can't help but get annoyed by the jittery as fuck newsticker, they didn't even get the encoding right....
(Yes our POS software has 60fps jitterless hardware accelerated fully utf-8 encoded newstickers before anyone asks me to do a better job)2
