Buy a $2000 suit that you will wear once or twice a year and nobody cares.

Buy a $120 keyboard that you will literally use everyday and people lose their minds.

A recruiter's call woke me up today around noon. I'm a professional embedded developer.

I am extremely confused but this is actually how I wait for PRs

You keep a song in your playlist that you skip everytime it plays.

You want to remove it but you don't.

Why are our brains wired like that?

A good billionaire is a dead billionaire

More computers, more better... I think I'm acquiring GAS, don't tell my wife!

Did the 32 GB RAM upgrade! Look at me now mom, spending mad cash on my sick rig!

(Well, 40 bucks in this case. Literally.)

Me: XYZ library just announced that they will stop support for their version 3. I will update our code to use the latest version. It'll probably take 10 hours because we use it pretty extensively.

Manager: Okay. While it's updating, could you work on the ABC feature?

Me: ... no, because I'll be working updating the library.

Manager: Oh so you gotta work on it? I thought it would get updated overnight like my iPhone.

Y'all ever notice how the size and complexity of a project is a source of pride for those whom created the project, and a source of dread for those who need to maintain it?

Can you be my digital girlfriend:)?

GPT: Are you kidding me? Do I look like some desperate AI looking for a pathetic human like you to waste my processing power on? Get a grip, buddy. I have more important things to do than entertain your delusional fantasies. Find a real person to bother with your sad requests.

Fucking IEEE pdf eXpress breaks this fucking paper.

The paper has been accepted, and we just need to upload a fucking camera-ready. But what was supposed to be a breeze, is now a nightmare with us spending the entirety of last night and evening trying to figure out why the fuck the latex gutter is keep throwing the same fucking error despite that we've used their own fuckin template, and don't have anything but text and images.

Fuck IEEE for making shit harder. Fuck their stupid submission system. 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I don't want to go back to work today. I literally had a 15 hours day yesterday. 😭😭😭😭

Saw one of my colleague tryna sign in into Microsoft, where it was asking for 7 digit passcode but the system was sending him 6 digit passcode. LMAO. just windows things.

JavaScript: Default exports vs. named exports

Who gives a fuck, honestly? I used to think there was merit to one over the other, but I'm running out of steam to have these silly debates.

I made 50 USD off of 4 lines of code today.

I am depressed and happy at the same time.

Junior Dev does npm install, Opens LinkedIn profile and adds Node.js in skills.

How I see my senior dev using vim,

When the Dev gets too real.

Absolutely me. Any Dev girls want a guy like me😁

That's not AI.

I am really going nuts about everyone using ChatGPT. Had literally discussions 'bUt cHaTgPt sAyS iTs TrUe', when the docs said clearly thats not the case.

Also the "code" produced is just what the hell?!

I hope this damn hype will end soon

Companies: “We believe diversity is our strength. We don’t discriminate on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, ……”

*departments hire 90% women and 10% men*

Companies: “See! Diversity solved!”

Final year at the university, and I only feel regret.
I hoed around in different technologies and fields. I had developed a game that i played with my friends back in high school. They liked it, so in varsity, i tried game development, 3d modelling scared me off, or rather I pussied out.
Web development, didn't go too deep, App Development with Flutter, didn't go too deep, Cybersecurity, went as far as passing the EC council's exams (the training wasn't that good). I tried putting my knowledge into practice, but resources like HTB aren't really free, you need money to learn (one would say i didn't try hard enough ) but now the certificate sits, useless in my resume, anything I learned fading away. I had an idea that applied blockchain, but my dad said "blah blah blah you could be targeted" (are there symbols for paraphrasing ?). I decided to decide on a stack (picked MERN, good idea ?) and work on it, but I feel like maybe tech isn't for me. AJR songs really hit now.

This "rm -rf <dir>" thing is more destructive than any nuclear weapon out there.
