When Russians talk about someone who is still a part of their group but is shunned, they use the word нерукопожатный — literally “nonhandshakable”.

I’m so annoyed that the word “throwel” exist but doesn’t even mean a tactical shovel designed to be thrown.

All British inventions:
- were invented in a garage
- are still being built in a garage
- would've been better if they were built in a garage.

XSS attack means game over, and no httpOnly cookie is gonna save you. Here’s why:
1. I copy the exact html and css of your sign-up form, but make it send data to my server
2. I perform XSS that replaces page content with that malicious form
3. 99% of users think they should sign in again
4. Profit: I now have their login and password.

Have you ever proposed great ideas to the company, yet they were rejected time after time, only for some half-assed golden favorite boy to steal the show for you with their half-assed idea?

I mean, now I understand that once you've been long enough in the industry, you express a deep, long sigh at least once a day. Plus, it affects your mental health. Not giving a fuck and just working on yourself more and your personal projects is crucial.

If you want to make a passable UI, let chatgpt make it.
If you want to make a good UI, make it yourself.
If you want to make a great UI, test it in iOS Safari as you make it.

Remember when I told you that American idioms are always about the money? Well:
- Normal languages: “I’ll remember this”
- Americans: “It will live in my head rent-free”

Because of all the injustice done to a regular folk by the banks and megacorporations, as well as the parts of government that value those two higher than doing the right thing for the regular people, piracy is all but justified.

For me, piracy is the default option. When it comes to stuff made by a megacorp, the first thing I do is see if I can pirate that. I would argue that piracy should be the default option for everyone.

No, you're not depriving corpo staff/hires of their salaries by pirating. If a megacorp is not paying them, it's not your fault.

I only pay for content if I want to support the creators. I was pirating since I got my first computer, I do pirate right now, and I will pirate in the future. I will advocate for piracy.

nee rule in office: if you are taking leave on a wfo day, you must come to work on wfh day in the same week. even if your whole team is working remotely.

wtf!?
I am being punished to take an emergency leave because i was in a er room taking breaths off an Oxygen cylinder?

what is the point of this rule? just day Directly that its 5 days a week. why even give a fake illusion of 3 days office

if i try to reject this rule, i need to take double leaves... leave on wfo as well on wfh day

i am tired of being in such an exploiting company. If only my country wasn't in the middle of war and I wasn't getting any worse in terms of health, i would have quit even without a job offer in hand

One day you'll go hiking and find a house built by no one. It will be then that you'll realize you can't go back home.

My brain vehemently rejects every piece of knowledge related to inductance and inductors. Every time I try to learn something about those things, the knowledge just leaks out as if it was being erased by an external force. Oh how I want to understand how inductors work, but I can't!

mechanical keyboard proponents be talking about longevity... I never ever had a membrane keyboard fail on me. they're indestructible. but I had a mechanical keyboard with kailh red switches fail on me, and I had to constantly spray it with wd-40 to make it work again. ugh.

Goodbye, Apple.

VSCode is a good, fast editor that has great flexibility and an extensive feature set out of the box. Sorry Sublime, but VSCode is just better.

I used Sublime since 2015, and after using VSCode for several months, I realized I’m not going back to Sublime. Their plugins ecosystem is totally broken, every plugin is abandoned.

Vim and other bigoted editors can go fuck themselves. Unlike Vim users, I have actual work to do, so I don’t have time to polish my configs. I want things working out of the box.

Every line of code you write, every variable you name, all should be soaked in 100% testosterone. Every decision — a big dick move. Your code should give raytheon exec a stiffy. pussies say memory safety, patterns, yada yada, this and that… I say weaklings die. big deal.

If you want to know how bad the job market is in India, a colleague told me that he got offered a job from an employer, where the condition is he has to give 20% of his paycheck back to the employer in their other bank account.

You feel sorry for everything, but what for exactly? Because I remember all of it. Do you?

— There is a bug in prod!
— Omg, why aren't you fixing it yet?
— No, I'm just raising awareness!

A coworker just died. He wasn't even 50.

Everyone make sure you're keeping your stress in check, and prioritizing your health. Go get that thing checked out you've been putting off.

This career is lucrative but it has its toll. Make sure you're taking time away.
