Well that was a fun call I just had.

Owner of the company I freelance for: Hey I forgot to tell you something.

Me: What?

Owner: I bought you a plane ticket to fly to Puerto Rico. You're heading out in a month.

Me: What?! Why????

Owner: To set up cryptocurency mining rigs.

Me: Just because I know a bit about mining doesn't make me an expert.

Owner: We have $80k in our pocket in investments from outside parties, with another $20-30k on the way. You get 20% of the coins mined for as long as you manage it.

Me: So we're gonna set up several rigs, utilizing a b250 motherboard, g4400 CPU, 8GB of RAM and 10 GPUs each. We'll have AMD rigs for monero and Nvidia rigs for Ethereum and others. We'll use awesome miner for profitability switching on the fly. Each machine is probably going to be $5k each, possibly $4k with bulk discounts. We'll need at least 1500W per rig for power, 2000W to be safe, so we need to make sure we have ample power delivery to the mining warehouse.

Owner: I thought you weren't an expert?

Me: I'm not, but when there's money involved my motivation to Google goes into overdrive.

When you release your first plugin for vscode and you just see it grows and grows yeserday was 350 downloads and now it's almost 700!

Now that's a great feeling and it seems I was helping people! \0/

It's been over a year coding professionally as a frontend Dev and it seems like I have built my career so far just by knowing flexbox.

(I'm a flexbox wizard now btw)

Frontend is as hard as backend

An appreciation post for every single frontend developer out here who can bear customer, project managers and designers nagging

You guys deserve a gold medal

"You're gonna lose. BUG TIME"

Just make sure it works!

Me: I have admin rights
Windows: Looks legit
Me: can I delete this folder ?
Windows: Nope

Rest In peace

Office gives me a Windows laptop.

Never have I felt this handicapped in my life.Sigh.

Probably the strangest thing (bug?) I've found on Google Translate.

You know, exiting Skype is even harder than exiting Vim

Got my new mechanical (gaming) keyboard. I don't play games though.

Support Call:
”our PC stick isn't booting up! Come and fix it! (angry)”

Me:
”The PC are meant to boot up whenever power is delivered to them. Are you sure your TVs are powered on?”

Support Call:
”Yes! I just pressed the power button on both TVs and it didn't turn on the PC sticks.”

Me:
”So you can confirm the TVs are on? Can you change the input and see what happens?”

Support Phone:
”Stop wasting my time and send someone down to fix it now! I told you it isn't working!”

Me:
”Ok, we will get someone out to you as soon as possible.”

Then a support guy drives 2 hours to their store.

When he gets there he realizes that the TVs power is connected to a light switch and they has the switch off!!!

He said ”can we turn on some lights so I can see behind the TV?” and then all the fucking TVs came on.

These are times when I fully understand the concept of “firing a customer”.

The customer sent an email saying ”the downtime for your product was unacceptable.” even after it was explained to them that the problem was them turning off the power.

These fucking idiots actually expect us to deliver products to display on TVs without fucking electricity to run them.

That was.. Unexpected...

"OUR SERVER IS DOWN!!!!!!"
*ssh server*
*succesfully logged into the server*
"The server is very much up, sir."
"BUT THIS WEBSITE ISN'T WORKING ANYMORE!!!!"

Ah, so one of your websites on that server with 100s of websites on it is not working anymore. That doesn't mean that you're entire fucking server is down. Please learn the fucking difference.

I don't think GitHub expected 1,000k+ on the code frequency graph...
(Look at the scale on the left)

Just wanted to show you all a completely relevant image I took at Living Computer Museum in Seattle.

This week I started my internship at our local University.

Me: Can you give me access for the internet?
Boss: Well, do you have an antivirus software?
Me: I got Linux.
Boss: *nod of approval*

Elon Musk: Space junk is a serious issue
Also Elon Musk: I put a Tesla into orbit lol

Love this guy

This is my collection of geeky stickers! Do you like it? :)

When you don't have money to pay a designer so you decide to do it by yourself.

It's my first try...

Got a star on GitHub once

My most successful project? The next one.

If that doesn't happen, read this again.

Code Documentation 😍😎

User Guide Documentation 😭💔

We just spent 30 minutes standing around watching Elon Musk launch his car into orbit.

I love working in IT.

IT CAME!

I'M REALLY EXCITED! :D
