Fuck React

Hookers and Cocaine

Being able to build automating tools and scripts. It's cool building your own tools, and even cooler if you like the process.

Being a developer allows you to enjoy using most of the creative skills artists also put to use (writing structured prose, design, semantics, ergonomics, ethics), while adding logic, job safety, and a decent paycheck to the mix.

Also: puts you in a good position to readily take advantage of new digital goodies (eg bitcoin), and to understand the gem that is developer humor

time zone shift.

Am I the only one whos's inner clock seems to go absolutely crazy...

Might be due to my health issues, but whenever these one hour time shifts happen - trouble sleeping starts again, feeling sluggish and blue and nothing seems to work.

I hope it doesn't take long to readjust, cause today was completely unproductive

I am just gonna leave this here and watch the world burn

I hate and love my job at the same time.

Refreshing the Let's Encrypt certificates, one of them wasn't applying properly.. couldn't find the issue for like 15 minutes...

Eventually I realized that I was refreshing the wrong domain 😅

Thank me later....

Im new to code anybody got any tips?

Cracked a nut by dropping Laravel framework on it. This framework is fucking heavy.

Our most recent development process:
1. Implement feature
2. Create task
3. Release feature
4. Review feature
4.1 Possibly reimplement
5. Add tests

I saw a guy building a website today.

No Vue.

Can't believe i've just had to explain master/slave terminology to someone who has been running our Jenkins CI/CD stack for several years.

That's unusual right?

Don't ever talk to non-tech people about tech. It'll fuck up your mood.

I've talked to a non-tech person lately, so...

Good visualization of security through obscurity

Agreed

!security

(Less a rant; more just annoyance)

The codebase at work has a public-facing admin login page. It isn't linked anywhere, so you must know the url to log in. It doesn't rate-limit you, or prevent attempts after `n` failures.

The passwords aren't stored in cleartext, thankfully. But reality isn't too much better: they're salted with an arbitrary string and MD5'd. The salt is pretty easy to guess. It's literally the company name + "Admin" 🙄

Admin passwords are also stored (hashed) in the seeds.rb file; fortunately on a private repo. (Depressingly, the database creds are stored in plain text in their own config file, but that's another project for another day.)

I'm going to rip out all of the authentication cruft and replace it with a proper bcrypt approach, temporary lockouts, rate limiting, and maybe with some clientside hashing, too, for added transport security.

But it's friday, so I must unfortunately wait. :<

Just people not understanding basic stuff. Headphones mean GTFO.

I just find this joke days ago.
