Ed is responsible for servers in the IT department at work. He is an electrical that does a lot of electronic/electrical design work. So IT concerns are not as high as his design work. Today we had a server fail due to aging hardware. We have another guy that handles IT stuff for Ed. So I went to the IT guy and said:
So I understand the server has Electronic Dysfunction. Is Ed having trouble keeping his server up?

Opened a legacy PHP file from 2008.
No functions.
2,000+ lines.
Inline SQL.
HTML inside echo statements.
A single if (true) wrapping the entire thing like some cursed gift box.
At the top:
// Do not modify. Works perfectly.
At the bottom:
It writes to two databases. Only one exists.
Somewhere in the middle:
It sends an email…
to the client’s ex-wife.
I closed the file.
Rebooted my laptop.
Took a walk.
Still not okay.5 -
Still alive. Wrist’s been hurting lately so I’ve had to stop crocheting 😭
But I got into paint by numbers!5 -
They started measuring deleted and added lines of code as a metric for productivity at my company. I have heard it's been done in other companies among friends... WHO THE FUCK IS PUSHING FOR THIS!?
Like WHY EVEN DO THAT USELESS SHIT???8 -
been working in the same company for 7 years, founder removed all our remote flexibility, told us people who dont come to the office can be replaced with AI, we have no excuse to being late to the office, etc...
feeling violated i began applying to other companies, and im very surprised that after 8 years of development experience, many side projects and curious endeavours later, i keep getting rejected or ghosted... wtf is this job market? i used to get interviews at least in almost any company i applied for before...
how tf do you land a new job these days?8 -
Me and a fellow friend started working as a freelancer.
of 3 projects that we have:
One has a terrible code (like really nasty and over engineered to the maximum). albeit each new feature is a challenge to our sanity... they pay are are somewhat nice.
Another after we did the job they don't want to pay (thankfully we are on a platform that is like the middle man for work, they already have the money so should be "trivial") because they say we did not do what they asked. Brother, the 2 A.M. is not an hour to be called, and we did all the little shitty task they askend AND the original tasks...
And in the last one we hired a team to work with us because we don't have more hours in a day... and they only rename some vars, call it a day, ignoring the task on the sprint and they wanna get paid for the "job"
I just wanna drink a few pints of guinness...1 -
Israelis just attacked a civilians boat in Malta. Malta is in the UE. This is clearly a cassus belli and we should retaliate against Israel and its support (Germany, the US). Putin isn't the only threat.
Just nuke these fuckers.4 -
No no, this is too funny to be downvoted out of "the public eye" I think everybody should see this xD xD xD

Stack Overflow has the best April fools prank!
They are doing an 8+ hour database migration on a business day during business hours!
The prank is the fact that it’s not a joke! They really decided this for some reason!4 -
Congratulations to the devrant app developer
I can tell it was written by a decent dev
Where other lazy things like graphical browsers fail when my phone is being throttled via my high speed data running out, somehow this app runs on the equivalent of 90s dial up speeds
Thanks for something to do lol9 -
Years ago, I joined a company making games for handheld consoles.
Because a game's audio needs to be tested, too, I connected earphones to the console so that:
0. I wouldn't bother others w/ the sounds coming out of the console.
/* !Everyone wants to hear that crap. */
1. I could hear the sounds better.
PM: * Enters the room. *
Me: * Focused on testing the game. *
PM: * Walks up to me from the side, starts talking. *
Me: * Focused on testing the game. *
PM: * After approx. 30 seconds of complete lack of response from me, kind of irritated, knocks on my desk to get my attention. *
Me: * Take out the earphones. *
Oh, hi, how can I help you?
PM: Haven't you heard a word I said?
Me: Well, no. I am testing the game, including the audio.
PM: You need to pay attention to what's going on around you.
Me: Testing audio is one of my responsibilities. I am using earphones because of the reasons [0-1].
PM: Even still, you just need to pay attention to what's going on around you.
PM: * Finally explains the reason for him bothering me, then goes back to his lair. *
Moral of the story: Fuck being good at what you do && knowing your responsibilities.
When PM wants something from you, you better give him the attention he wants.
/* The expectation being I grow an extra pair of eyes && ears, so that I see the guy coming && am prepared to listen to him whenever he wants something _while_ doing the best job I possibly can. */13 -
