Hacking is like sex. You get in, you get out, and hope that you didn’t leave something that can be traced back to you.10

if you're going to fucking change the project requirements on a daily basis, don't ask me if I ever considered designing the project the way that I initially proposed and you shot down, like you fucking thought of it.1

There's not much worse than trying to fix your CSS for half an hour, only to realise that it's a cache issue...9

My (junior) colleague gives me an existential crisis as he builds a fabric.js clone from scratch up in very little time.
Then he tells me he forgot his 4 digit bank pin he's be using for 7 years. -
There should be a name for rants about fake stories. Like the ones you read and can smell some bs going on. I suggest frants.3

What do you call 8 hobbits?
A hobbyte!
You've probably already heard this one but if not and your a LoTR fan, your welcome.

I got board and decided to make a weather app.
I have designed everything except the font which is Open Sans.
The app will be created on Electron and will be my first entry into that world.
It is currently in the design phase but thought it might be nice to share it's development with you guys.
I hope you like it and as always feedback is more than welcome.69 -

Nothing worse then the fear you made a mistake a sudden feeling of absolute terror.
Lucky this time did nothing wrong 🙄
Why aren't I more careful.4 -
My first dev job. Me and another guy get hired at the same time. He will be the lead dev, and I’ll be the junior dev on a long term project. Project gets delayed (and eventually canceled, but that’s a different story), so the lead dev decides to give me programming challenges to test my skill level. I successfully complete the challenges, but they aren’t up to his standards. Belittles me in front of our manager. Afterwards I ask him to show me how he would have done it. The dude can barely type let alone show me the way it should be done. I say nothing to the manager.
A few weeks pass, it’s clear the project we were hired for is canceled, so we are given other work. They task the lead dev with porting the company website to Wordpress so non-devs can alter content. They chose Wordpress mainly because the lead dev said he is familiar with it. Two weeks later, no progress has been made. They ask me if I can do it, and I do it in 2 days including additional functionality that was requested. Manager asks me why I thought lead dev couldn’t do what I did. I said, “I don’t think lead dev knows what the fuck he is doing. I don’t think he knows how to program.” Manager says, “Huh.”
Several months later lead dev is still there, but has yet to work on any projects with any success. They finally let him go.
Glad to finally get that off my chest.6 -
Pro Tip: You can also charge your laptop faster by placing it carefully in the microwave and setting the timer for 10 minutes.
If all else fails; jumping off a bridge is also another natural way of preventing you from getting your devices infected8
