Step away from the computer...

Running your own mail server is a lost art

why are operating systems so beautiful 🤤

Is it me or do you also get put on numerous projects simultaneously?

I don't know why companies do this. To save money, probably. What were they thinking? It's not efficient to put a developer on several different projects at once, much less projects that are not in their field.

What do you get when you put an employee on 5-10 different projects simultaneously? A nerve-wracked, stressed out, easily-burnt-out employee. I've seen it myself.

An important lesson I learned:

When upskilling yourself and taking notes, make sure you do it on your personal laptop because when the time of contract termination arises, you will have to sign a waiver that you can't keep any of the data you saved on company infrastructure (including cloud). And then you lose all your notes and possibly knowledge. lol.

I find this concept so annoying. Even in college they said that anything you write down is property of the university.

So there I was, maintaining our rock-solid Java 7 codebase, older than this Gen Z intern who still thinks floppy disks are 3D-printed save icons.

First day in, he’s like, “Bro, let’s rewrite this in Next.js! Microservices! Serverless! AI!”

Son, this code has been running longer than your TikTok attention span. It doesn’t need scaling, it needs to keep working.

But nooo, he wants TypeScript. He wants to Dockerize a Hello World. He saw a YouTube tutorial and now thinks Java is dead.

I asked, "Why do we need microservices?"

Silence. Blank stare. You could hear a single thread in our monolith peacefully executing a transaction.

Then he mumbled something about "scalability" and "modern architecture"—like we’re running a billion-dollar SaaS, not a POS that’s been happily running since the Nokia ringtone era.

Microservices? Buddy, our biggest spike is the Sunday brunch buffet reservations when the retirees remember they have grandkids. Sit down.

The industry is so incredibly demanding beyond measure.

Please be proficient in:
- Java, C#, Python, TypeScript, ReactJS, AI, UX, COBOL, AWS, DevOps, security, SecOps, Linux, Unix, System Administration, Database Administration,...

Yeah? Give me six years then before you try to overload me with stress in having to deliver top quality code using these.

I actively try to diminish stress in my life and the major cause of stress is my job.

n BAM. Copilot (in Visual Studio) autosuggests the ENTIRETY of the class with accurate JSON-POCO conversion ._.
I dislike AI but can't deny its usefulness in this kinda manual work. I'd take this over some low-tier junior dev anyday

So let's settle the TAB vs SPACE debate once and for all. Loser have to leave town at down covered with feathers and tar.

From the era of typewritter, we inherited a key to bring the carriage to a specific column, aka INDENT. It's the tab key. Space key are there to separate WORDS.

Whoever use SPACE for tabulation/indentation is a fucking idiot. Just imagine this bafoon having to set his fancy jetbrainz IDE to do something that typewritters can do for 150 years, and then having to press backspace 4 time like a parkinsonian retard.

They are dangerous people who are probably anally raping cute kittenz as we speak.

Dear HR,

You're so incompetent, had I followed your instructions I'd have broken the law and endangered my life.

Get fucked.

When someone interrupts me during concentrated work:

"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!"

I checked out a mining technology course at the college. It was a boring class.

We rolled out yesterday a new update out to our Desktop application. The goal was to do it last weekend but we failed for reasons. The update is a success and now we (devs, project manager, QA, COO, support) got an angry email from our CEO, he mentioned:
- He is very disappointed in the whole process
- we released it without a coordinated marketing campaign
- That the devs should have communicated to the customers
- That the devs should have communicated internally more
- That support is getting a lot of new support tickets. I asked support, they counted 0 for this product in the last 7 days.
- Asked us to self-reflect how we can improve.

My project manager (who is currently on paternity leave) responded with an angry email to defend the dev team and pointed out that the CEO fired the marketing guy (again). The deadline is here for months, that the CEO literally ran the update locally and sold the update to new customers. He also called the CEO "lack of self awareness" and "not understanding the update process" and "disappointed in this approach". He also said that he asked the developers not to respond to the email.

Love me some drama between higher-ups

Fuckers stole my ground. Can't have shit in South Africa

Games which have a save point or checkpoint system: FUCK YOU!

This is a technical limitation that was present in game consoles in the 90s.

There is no fucking need to implement save points in games made today!

It serves no purpose other than to generate frustration for the player and make the player redo the same section of the game again and again when he fails.
Oh how much fun it is to repeat 20 minutes of tedious shit as a punishment because I fell into your cheap trap and died!

And even if I don‘t fail, I want to be able to stop the game at any time and continue later where I left off. Is that too much to ask?

I don‘t want to be forced to progress in the game until you decide that NOW, after 20 minutes is the time that I am allowed to quit playing.

This is a fucking design decision. Don’t make your design suck to imitate the games from the past that did it for technical reasons!

I think the jobs of people who say that they will be replaced by AI must be so mundane that they probably will and should be replaced by AI.

Creating functions inside loops should be a felony

I am not a particularly vengeful one, but today I was, and everyday onwards I'll be turning it up a notch on recurrence. WTF is Kobenz talking about? Well, let me fill you in. For the worst part of 7 months I've been having my already fucked up hearing beaten to a pulp by the neighboring apartment's renovation works, sounds that would often balloon over 120dB, continuously. Last week the actual owner finally moved into their apartment and the sounds had stopped. Of course, i had spent every minute of my blight concocting vengeful schemes to get even. But while I was so full of think hatred and maliciousness, I, of course, let it all got. As i said, not a particularly vengeful individual, that I am not. Until yesterday that is, when the whole reformation crew was back here at 8am, banging my ears with those awful noises... So today, i woke up at 4am, set up my blender and my speakers, waited until 6am sharp and turned it all on, ALL of it. If today I hear even so much as a wisp of that deranged reformation noise, tomorrow at 5am I'll do it all over again. And every day from now on, I'll rinse and repeat it an hour earlier than before, speakers cranked up a notch above their previous noise, the blender running half hour longer than its previous running time and I'll add a new source of noise every single FUCKING DAY!

Haha, Skype is ending. Bye bitch. I'll never forgive what you did to msn messenger. Damn, that was some bad software.

We had a series S Xbox. Somebody left a drink too close and I think it spilled inside. The series S no longer functions. My son has been bugging me for a few months to fix it. He is gone this week for a competition.

Last night I went to walmart at around 6pm. All the weirdos were already there. (so was I, what does that say?) Got heckled in the parking by some randos in a car. (honestly have no idea what they said because lazy asses don't even try to speak anything but inner city garbage) I looked toward them and looked away. Fuck that noise. Shit heads keep showing up in my town. (thanks California, you are leaking)

Anyway I get a series X and brought it home. I set it up where the older one was. Am not going to say a word. I named it: "Dad's XBox". Gonna see what the kids say when they all get back. I stood it on end so nobody can spill anything into it.

Looked through gamepass. Not that great a selection IMO. Noticed Starfield is there. It sucked so bad it will probably always be on gamepass. Trying to recoup lost revenue. I might try and see just how bad it is. I dunno. Would rather play a TES game. Gonna try Outer Worlds I think.

I think the charcoal series X actually looks cool. Seems to have cool features too. Like you can play a game on there on your phone or some shit. I think steam has that too. Wild.

I don't like Agile so much. Things are always rushed and you rarely ever have 30 minutes to discuss something in depth, not even in the retrospective meeting. Team mates too busy to discuss concerns. Sigh.

say what you want, but z-index: 99999 and z-index war in general means you’re an uneducated amateur.

Am I the only one not liking noise canceling at all? Don't like the whole concept.
