Two years ago I started a small online business. It was not a long term investment and it literally ended up being a one man business. The idea was to provide a service to a small group of people who will benefit from my idea and to offer it to them at a very cheap price. (It being the cheapest helped its popularity a lot).
However, never once did it actually make any profit. (and i never wanted it to make a profit) I wanted it to be self sustaining business and it was.
This was a project for my University by the way, I started off in my first year because of my extensive knowledge in the particular matter, and I only sold to people on campus.
Now that its been 4 years, my batch is graduating, and so there aren't many people to spread the word about this project. It's finally the time to actually say goodbye to this project.
I leased a dedicated server two years ago, and I am finally saying goodbye to that too (can't afford to keep it live anymore). And seriously, it feels sad to shut this machine down haha, I've had so much fun playing around with the configurations (even though it was a production server).
It's clear that this downsizing will continue and I will be closing the service in the near future.4 -

I love TDD.
It's so relaxing to know that your fix didn't fuck up anything else when the tests pass. -
What's with some devs around here posting their stories of doing shitty things like they're heroes or something?
Oh, you hacked your former boss and destroyed data because he did something you didn't like?
Oh, you tried to work smart, but then essentially defrauded your client by claiming you had to rewrite the app for another platform?
How many other ones?
It's shit like this that make it harder for the honest developers out there to get a client to actually trust us, and that trust is so important for both sides of a contract.
How can a client who was burned by one of these douche bags trust when another developer actually quotes a rewrite of a code base that is fundamentally flawed?
How about a business partner of the one who was hacked. What if they're as honest as can be, but heard the horror story, and now refuses to entrust anything to their developers?
It makes all our jobs harder and makes us all look like shit.
And here you are, posting it up for those precious ++'s.
Fuck you. Either shape up or do us and your clients a favor and choke on your keyboard.7
