Next time I have to negotiate a contract I'm gonna ask for x hourly but 2x for meetings

Fuck meetings

Just need to vent, so here goes:

Fuck doing cutting edge projects for great glory, low budgets and tight deadlines. I'm tired, burnt out and just don't give a shit anymore.

I got promoted to lead dev and thought my fortune was made but what it really meant was just: Here solve all these bullshit bugs that the rest of the team can't figure out and oh we are also taking this single app you guys made and scaling it globally. You have half a year to figure that out. You handle the devops.... sigh

Fuck that noise.

Honestly i just feel like quitting and finding a nice specialist place, with a cap of at max Senõr developer, no more being the one making the big decisions for me, rather just diving into certain areas and coding the fuck out of that. Maybe some teaching too, i like that.

Anyway, won't happen right now, i need the salary. My wife just graduated and can't find a job what with a certain flu fucking over the economy, so I am stuck here for now.

Who’s mistake😂😅

Math is sexist because everything two-dimensional is presented in xy-coordinates

What if there was like a 1-2 day workshop that helped recruiters be more technically fluent? Like the basics of software development (not programming, but concepts and what engineers really do)?

Silently change all the coffee to decaf

Best work prank?

Get a random friend to burst into my home office during a zoom call, wearing a ski mask, gun in hand, speak foreign language, and drag me out of the room. Have another masked friend go up the camera and threaten to kill me if my coworkers go to the police. Disappear for a week, then email my boss saying I need 100k or they’ll start killing my family members one by one, take the money, then go on vacation while I fill out job applications. Get a new job and repeat the prank every few months until I retire.

I show up for work sober and on time.

There's this song on radio going like "Can't make a wife out of a hoe" and it reminded me of Google Chrome. 😐

Need to code myself a girlfriend

Machine learning in all its glory...

Do you think that "Work From Home" or "Remote Work" tends to reduce the work life boundary for the employees?

What I think is that Managers feel fine pinging employees at any time of the day. And as employees either you get good at ignoring messages or work outside the working hours.

I got a job. A job where I get to sit in front of a computer. I don't know what I'm doing yet... Developer is in the job title description. I'm scared. I'm excited. But most of all, I'm really glad that I get to stop stacking boxes for a living.

Found where electric scooters spawn

.........

Developers too lazy to google search/read the README.md yet too proud to admit their mistakes.

They create disasters that I need to clean up later because they took a vacation.

.........

I had a weird dream last night: at the office, my co-worker sliding a wide rubber band over my cup of coffee up and down 🤔☕

What's your go to way of getting over a burnout?

Good Night

"Oh Step Cable, I'm Stuck"

"he said it didn't work for him"

What the fuck does that mean!?!?!?

Okay, so they sent me to lead an implementation. This is my 5th day of working with that crap, I presented it to the company and they praised me because of my efforts. So they gave me another tasks. Because one of our developers contract wasn't renewed so they want someone who will finish the task of that dev. Well maybe it's more cheaper for them to give more tasks than raising their employees salaries.

Happy XXI - 2021, 21 Jan, 21:21:21 UTC !

Launch that project as is... There is always room for improvement.

1970..................................................2020

Lecturer who is supposed to be teaching us to program somehow cannot debug his own code, instead I am telling him how to fix it... 🙈

I carelessly took a freelance project to make an app.....there was a friend involved so I was careless, shared all the code....and they refused to pay, ridiculed me too..... and I could do nothing...... I dnt care about the money; but I feel so insulted and I was being so nice and civil, and they behaved this way,..... anything I can do to their stupid website? https://spasgo.com
Nothing major...just a little something to annoy......

Dear Customer,

I think you misunderstand the reason I sent you some documents for review.

I sent the examples to you so that you could see what your inputs produced.

I didn't send them to you so that you could fart out your mouth and about what you want like a little kid.

If there's shit on the page it is because you put that shit in the system ....

Please have someone else who is going to put a little bit of effort into this 'super important project' contact me.

Also bullet points don't work like this:

- Here I talk about a thing but
- and here I continue that thought with no context and incomplete sentences
- Also this is unrelated.
- But this is about the first bullet point again.
- Here I repeat another bullet point but I say it in a completely different way.

What the fuck is even this?!

The empty fucking box in the middle!

I am not even angry now. Just frustrated. I have encountered so many visual bugs in iOS now. This is my first iPhone. Tim Apple doesn’t want retain me.

iOS: A beautiful looking OS that shits at times.

"Holy shit that was fucking traumatic to look at" you whisper under your breath

That moment you get the satisfaction of deleting 2468 lines of legacy code.
