Stumbled upon on Twitter ... 😜

"Works fine on my machine."

"10"+20+30 is "102030"
10+"20"+30 is "102030"
But ...
10+20+"30" is "3030"

One must love JavaScript

P.S. Nice and funny answers, too.
P.P.S. I can understand frustration. ;)

"Meetings are known as the place where productivity goes to die."

"What normal person would voluntarily work with any kind of programming?"

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it - unless the customer's paying."

Rule I've never learned and main reason why I don't have enough money despite 25+ years of experience.

So true ...

"Many developers on a schedule aren't making efforts to write clean and efficient code, relying on idiot-proof languages (and consequently more RAM and faster processors) to make up for their malaise."

That one horrendous in-house legacy application that should be ditched, but no one is brave enough to start building replacement from scratch ... Every company has one.

Don't.

This is great rant!

Fuck You Startup World - https://medium.com/startup-grind/...

Manager informed me that I need to go on business trip abroad (only 2000+ kilometers, two, perhaps three flight exchanges) in three days at customer's plant for (at least) two weeks. Of course, he only hinted vague details what I should/would do there. I must admit that I'm a bit baffled but ...

Please note that, because of health issues, i didn't leave home town for more than 5 years and didn't leave country for more than 20 years. ;)

Oh, joy ...

P.S. Only a week for NYC to Veliko Gradište, Serbia?! I'm pleasantly surprised!

"It was a slow day at work and another intern suggested finding a way to send messages discretely between our computers on the local network.

To accomplish this I chose any true programmer’s favorite tools: excel sheets and VBA."

Monolithic (compiled to native executable) 20MB application for internal purposes only (in-house developed hence source is available) is bad/unacceptable but Docker container (based on public image) of 800+ MB is good?! O tempora, o mores!

I empathize with him.

Actually, this makes sense - https://twitter.com/bitfield/...

I've stumbled upon some sources (mostly C/C++ and Pascal) during reorganizing backups in home LAN from 25+ years ago. Hell, I've used to be better coder then (code is more optimized and cleaner).

Perhaps it is just hardware (much, much more powerful) and choice of languages/libraries/frameworks I use nowadays?!

OK, I'm spoiled Linux bra^H^H^Huser, so MD5, SHA1,... checksums for distributions' ISO files are something I take for granted but is really that hard for Microsoft to provide same for Windows 10 ISOs (plain and simple info, not something that require equilibristics and deep diving into MSDN site) ?!

Strange days - bash on Windows, PowerShell on Linux ...

Interesting hashtag on Twitter #FirstSevenLanguages ... You can clearly see age of programmers. ;)
