So this i quite a big project, hundreds of files everywhere, pages are rendered using multiple files.

This is one of the latest created page, it was made by my boss, and it just give me the creeps.

I REALLY don't know how he always comes up with shit like these.

I just hate having more than 5 closing tags in sequence...

How do you even come up with shit like this?

How does your rubber duck feel?

How many times has this conversation happened at your workplace?

NEVER take a shot of vodka every time Unity (on Mac) crashes...
You'll end up way beyond drunk before 12am

Just ran "rm -rf <project_folder>" instead of "rm -rf <project_folder>/Library/PackageCache"

I'm almost afraid to open the project itself right now

I stopped it like a second later, but still it has deleted some project configuration :(

I know I can't be the only one thinking safari is the new IE, like "it has to work on safari" makes me way more sad than "it has to work on edge"

IE is default unsupported in my company

This time around I figured out that fucking safari can't work properly with dates!

Like:
new Date("2019-05-16 11:00") // won't work
new Date("2019/05/06 11:00") // will work
new Date("16/05/2019 11:00") // won't work
new Date("11/05/2019 11:00") // will work, but it's November the 5th

Ok, the last 2 bugs are due to English&American who can't understand how dates work, but still... WHY IS SAFARI THE ONLY DIFFERENT ONE?

Am I the only one who would like to sign every project like "guiltily developed on a Mac"?

You know? Usually people say put stuff like "Proudly developed through wordpress or similar"

When I have to updates the apps for the second company of my boss:
5 apps, 4 different projects, 4 stores.
Each app with different VR SDK, which makes the differences minimal, but still can't merge the projects.

It takes about 1h to build all of the apps (like 30m just for the iOS ones), 5minutes to 5 days to make the edits, 1-2 weeks of debugging and testing, plus the time the stores take to actually publish the apps

Always makes me wanna kill myself

Making a VR app.
It must work with:
- pico VR
- oculus go
- oculus gear
- Android (standard mobile
- iOS

Now, except for iOS they all work with android, which make things way easier.

Now guess where most of the troubles are?

FUCKING IOS, I just fucking believe iOS even inverts the whole fucking textures while using Unity+GVR

WHY THE FUCK DOES IT EVEN HAPPEN?

I have 4 different projects to build 5 different Apps

Fuck my work

It literally just happened:

my boss taught me how to use npm, bower and similar to have plugins while developing websites.

This time around we had a project which is divided among different repositories.

One was a foundation project using npm to build, the other one was a socket.io server, using actual nodejs

boss thought: "well they both have node_modules, let's merge them and merge the package.json as well

Nothing worked anymore.

This little game took me like 2h of development, it's build without any framework whatsoever.
It is based on my memory of a very old game my brothers used to play on DOS, it was used to teach how to type superfast
Little details on how this works: the inputs at the bottom are programmed to be used with keys (only letters), ENTER and TAB, no need to use mouse in this game to move around, just hit tab to move to next, hit enter to confirm what you typed.

I know I should upgrade this to use a list of actual words instead of just random letters, but never wanted to actually work on it again.

I highly recommend trying it on a PC, also contains Ads, not invasive, tho

Sometimes I wonder if we invented WebPack just to have to compile and therefore have time to tweet shit around

I was teaching a friend of mine how CSS works for her exam and we reach the point where she had to style the tables and she reads:

To avoid having spacing between table cells you can use:
border-collapse: collapse
[...]
border-collapse can also have value "separate"

She fucking freaked out like "WHAT THE FUCK IS EVEN THE SENSE OF IT? SHOULD I HAVE BORDER SEPARATE: SEPARATE? WHY THE FUCK SHOULD I WRITE THAT TWICE? HOW THE FUCK DOES THIS EVEN WORK OUT?"

I just loved how she doesn't know how to make a website but she already hates CSS before even using it on an actual browser

The company I work for just followed me on Twitter.

Now I can't just complain about random bullshit happening at work :/

Fuck logic with JS

One of our clients is a club near my town.
My ex loved to go there.
The club finally asked me to manage the access to the club through the CRM we made for them.

So I could literally let her in for free and none would notice. Now I might even make her pay extra, but who cares...

When I work for clients I despise, like those who ask for 10 things and while you're at it, those 10 things become 25, I just start the timer, go on reddit/twitter for some time and when I'm tired I start actual work...

Am I the only one like this?

I live in Italy and in here we all write the date like we're French...

What's up with these "locale" not working properly?

So my boss started to use https://toggl.com and now every single clients calling must be tracked by our timer.

This specific time I forgot to activate it as he called, but by the time I got to start the timer the fix was already finished...

IDK if I'm too fast or the client to stupid to fix his shit by himself

Am I the only one spending like 70% of my work-time tweeting and the remaining 30% coding like crazy at super fast speed?

And still make it all work super properly :D

So I've been working with this company for like 3 years now, my only issue with it is I'm kinda underpaid (1.3K/month in Italy).

Today I had an interview at another company, like 1km away from this one, and it feels promising, the only difference would be in the products: here I make web-based stuff and VR apps, in the new one, I'd just be there incapsulating AI into other stuff for medical and industrial usage, using python and a lot of other stuff I never used or that I haven't used in the past 3 years or so...

Current company is made of me, boss and dude who works on social medias
New company is 17 people and many of them are engineers, mathematicians... more focused on what I actually do/like to do

Current company would go through quite a hard time without me (hardest projects were entirely developed by me + design/css from boss/other)

What would you do? My dream job is to make videogames with my own ideas (but can't rely on that to earn money)

I don't even know if this should be a rant or a good thing, but here it goes:

my boss smokes (legal) weed in the office, under the AC, so the smoke goes up and it spreads all over the place => we all get a bit stoned

I just love working with this other company!
Their projects are fucking complicated, but still doable, they entertain me

But most of all, the examples they make are just awesome!

Like now I'm developing a CRM for a small clinic and there was an issue like "what are notes for?"

Reply:
"The patient is showily homosexual, remember to ask for his HIV exams after his next visit"

Other examples:
Q: "what happens during the visit?"
A: "the patients comes in, the receptionist will hand over a tablet with some questions like how deep his asshole is, then proceeds to to doctor office and there he will be raped for 30m, during the rape the doctor will take note of how destroyed his anus is, and will proceed to prepare a therapy"

Q: "I see there's the requirement for attachments"
A: "yeah once they get into the doctor room, they will be asked stuff like feet pictures to let the doctors jerk off later at night, but also PDFs about exams or some kind of stuff like that"

Q: "Will the staff be able to notify one another about random shit?"
A: "They're 3 people in like 40 square meters, so they might as well just shout 'hey, I shit myself bc there's no more toilet paper', they're close enough to hear one another"

I'm sorry in advance if you feel offended by any part of this

Found this on Twitter mirroring reddit

I hate the fact that I hate to develop a small gui to let my colleagues use the server through it

I learnt something from every single project I made, but this one... it was really different, new language, new library, new hardware.

Problem:
there's an infopoint in a place, that was really hard to use (ball mouse over a monitor)

Solution:
make the screen be touch.

Developing the solution:
- after a bit of research I find out there's a library/project called OpenCV
- there are example programs that detect hands written in C++ (which I know) and Python (which I don't know)
- the whole infopoint works on a raspberry PI, with raspbian (I'm not new to linux, but it's somehow different, plus tons of customization)

So I spend like 3 weeks trying to understand how to make it work, at first, the webcam was on the TV and you could move the mouse just by shaking your hand, but it didn't work too well, so we tried making the webcam look at the screen and then calculate the differences between "no-hands" and "user-hand", but should have been calibrated, wasn't too precise... dropped solution.

put the webcam 30cm above the screen, let it just analyse a few centimeters of sight from the screen and it worked flawlessly, BUT it could just recognise the horizontal axis => had to rework the infopoint UI to make it dumb-easy

It all finally worked, I learnt python, openCV, a bit of photography

Then hated it all and decided to never do that again

How many of you use FTP everyday to work?

Well today the whole GoDaddy FTP server for EVERY website I manage was off.

Had to work through the webpage editor (a notepad provided by godaddy/cpanel), it kinda works, but I can't even use ctrl+s to save since it's in the browser :/

Today is just one of those bad days where I just don't even want to be in the office (yet outside it's rainy as fuck)

Either way I gotta make this oculus go app and I have to look into the headset every like 5 minutes to test it.

Damn VR programming is just so awesome bc you can literally sleep with headset on and none will find out

I seriously don't fucking understand those people who like programming iDevices.

I mean, in my personal experience you have:
- iPhone not connecting to a WiFi (while working on a network project)
- Mac, while using multiple desktops on 2 monitors: I have the 3rd desktop active on the 2nd monitor, search for terminal to open it and it opens in the 1st desktop of the first monitor
- while making an app (ionic or unity), is about 5 to 15 times slower compared to the same android apps (same exact code, but gotta go throught XCode, y'know?)
- takes YEARS to download XCode, but is necessary to even just build for lastest iPhones updated
- takes years to upload to AppStore and when it's done it just tells you "oh bitch, you know what? you forgot that fucking icon for tablets, how about you rebuild it all? and NO, you have to change the build number or I won't accept it"
- App quality was so pedantic on the first publish but then always fucks it up at the second upload, like "hey we checked it the first time, now we can just 100% trust it works and doesn't use anything scammy"
- code+compiled app for iOS is like 1GB while android vode+build is like 100MB WTF do you even put in those 900MB? random trash? WHY?
- I'm not even gonna get into the forums or the amount of money you have to pay for both product and services
- MacOS works ALMOST like Linux, but takes all the worst from both windows and linux to give you the worst performance with the best graphics, but it looks cool, so doesn't matter

A good world would be a world where Apple goes bankrupt after Steve Jobs died

The intern beside me just called me to solve an error in PHP.

He wrote:
for($slides as $s){
}

The PHP error message wasn't quite clear:
Fatal error: expected ';' on line 84

How could possibly an intern who's becoming an engineer in IT make such mistake and lose like 1h on an error like that? I even attends one of the best universities in the country

PS:
I know engineers aren't supposed to code, but he's been coding for the past month in PHP and was here just to do that
