Found this line in code that's been in prod for 10 years
"int kak = object.getValue()"
There is no contextual reason for it to be called kak, which means shit in Afrikaans11 -

Why do some devs who work for corpos have a superiority complex?
“Oh I cannot imagine working on a small team of 3 people (2 devs, 1 designer) on a website”, saying it like if he was disgusted. “The team I work in has 40 people”, with a hint of superiority in his voice.
Bro, chill for a moment, it ain’t a race to the top.10 -
Ugh, meetings - the productivity vacuum of corporate life. Like who's got time for those never-ending discussions and PowerPoint slogs. 🙄💼6

My company employed a new back-end guy from a random country in Africa (our first non-european). After firing the internal IT guy a year ago, they have now noticed that he has fully protected our company from login attempts outside of europe. The replacement has no idea how to revert it and honestly is not an system administrator.
Our DevOps guy knows how to solve it but nobody asked him and he cannot be arsed.8 -

Big boss: Last year we had much more revenue and profits than our expectations, and this success is thanks to all of you. Thank you! You made an excellent work! Impressive!
Some employee: Can we all get a raise?
Big boss: Wtf that question again? No way!9 -
Man, I love Postgres, but one thing I hate about it is its naming scheme.
As far as I know, there is... None.
So I'm always left wondering how certain configuration directives referring to Postgres will be written down as.
Pick your favorite:
Postgres
PostgreSQL
Psql
PgSQL
And maybe more...
Or is there a naming scheme / system I'm not aware of?3 -
I download YouTube videos just to watch them on a clean user interface without distracting advertisements and suggested videos.13

you don't need a cms for everything. just use md and git instead of coding unmaintainable plugins for cms that stop working after upgrading to the next major version1

Somehow I find NOT working much more exhausting than working.
By "not working" I mean being blocked for days/weeks by procedural, technical or communication stuff (peeps I depend on are busy with other HI-prio tasks, waiting for approvals, etc.), where I have to keep on pinging them for updates, monitoring comms channels for news, finding smth to do to justify for the clients the 8 hours I bill them for.
Just let the man work alright!!! GIMME WORK!!!!4 -
I did an coding assignment for a new job... Now they are asking for more code to judge.
Cmon, just change your coding assignment to be enough to judge it...5 -
Lost my auntie to a very long cancer battle.
There is a long list of people that I would've rather died than her.
Why don't workplaces have a category of leave for "literally dying inside"?10
