I've chosen system/embedded programming because I liked system programming and did not like anything connected with web, frontend or UI.

So far it seems like it was a good choice. Even though web was not such a clusterfuck before, it was already repulsive.

Blackout. I guess it's time to hibernate under a blanket.

Some rhythmic psytrance or full-on.

That's basically everything I need to good into semi-flow state.

Sometimes an energy drink can give additional kick.

What do you live for?

Week long fever. Hazy mind. Productivity level "mashed potato".

Sucks to be me lately.

IBMs Rational Team Concert.

Whole the VCS is okay for a semi-centralized one, the client was based on eclipse.

Who in a bright mind could possibly think that writing the client as an eclipse plugin is a good idea?

"Sorry, but nothing in this MR is as it should be (I don't even know where to start) - all you do here is waste scarce CI resources"

Much helpful. Such wow. Teach me how to make such toxic and useless merge request comments.

A very high chance of becoming asocial which will fuck up everything afterwards. Basically the same reason as with any other nerd work/hobby.

My colleague did a "btw, I use Arch" in the daily scrum meeting. 🤣

That feel when my solution runs way faster than world average

PS: the puzzle is SAWAYAMA WONDERDISC

Dafuq... My new position label is Senior Software Developer.
I do not identify myself as a senior even in my wet dreams.
I'm confused.

Did not pass an interview with management after passing a tech one.

Meh-man is sad. Meh-man needs sweets.

PS: well, at least I've got an actual negative reply (proxied via recruitment manager) rather than was left waiting for a reply.

I hereby congratulate you all with the end of Friday.

Cheers 🍻

Blackout

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Cable police anyone?

Wow, barista in an 8 floor office recognized me after 4 month of WFH

Have you ever felt like you don't want to fall asleep?

I do feel that quite often but I don't know why.

Pros of working at home:
Beer time at 14:00

Do you have a specific ritual for entering the flow state?

Mine is pretty simple: blast high BPM trance/psytrance/full-on trance to the headphones and let it consume all my thoughts

<Email thread>

Manager: Hey @iiii, please, create stories for {things that shall be done}. You will be responsible for that implementation next sprint.

Me: *procrastinating like a bitch*

**several hours later**

Dev from another team: Actually, we discussed that with {upper management guy} and it seems like those things are unapplicable for current project, so we'll send a letter to {client} to remove those requirements.

Manager: @iiii, don't create stories.

</Email thread>

Me: *welp, good thing I did exactly nothing so far*

Dear me,

Please, stop binging video games at 3 am.

Thank you.

What do you guys think about a "middle" developer from one project taking a "junior" position in the other project?

Hereby I congratulate all of you with the end of work week.

Cheers 🍻

Huh... Seems like my company is going to implement flexible office/home hours even after lockdown is lifted.

Not sure whether they're trying to rip us off, because we're going to use office space less and they will pay less accordingly, or whether it is really a an improvement because allegedly many people here responded that they would like to have such a flexible option rather than being glued to the office space.

I just want to do nothing. Be a cat: eat and sleep as much as I physically can. I'm just physically and mentally exhausted and basically have no desire to do anything anymore.

Fuck everything.

The only thing which prevents me from doing that is some leftovers if common sense which tell me that it's unwise to abandon everything when you've left only 3 weeks to do shit and then it's not your problem anymore.

But even this sense cannot disarm an overwhelming procrastination.

And people. Fuck people. Only a very small minority is actually tolerable.

Thanks for listening to my TED talk.

The third clause perfectly describes a recent "showstopper" defect I was working on.

How do you find inspiration and motivation for your pet projects?

Meh-man has an interview later.
Meh-man is in a very rut and shitty mood since Monday.
Meh-man feels like he should care, but fuck everything.
Meh-man feels meh.

A third day of misery. Will the light shine again or will our protagonist plunge into abyss of despair?

You will find that in the next episode of "The Meh-man"
