Sometimes I write inline CSS because I'm a lazy piece of shit.

True true 😂

Me: I have admin rights
Windows: Looks legit
Me: can I delete this folder ?
Windows: Nope

Where is the LAN cable and why the hell does my chair not...

Oh.

macOS treats chess like it's the System32 file in windows

You know, exiting Skype is even harder than exiting Vim

Yesterday, my employer promoted me to lead web developer.

I’m still the only web developer.

Friend: OMG are you hacking ?

[sudo apt-get update] running

Me: Yes. I am.

I had a secondary Gmail account with a really nice short nickname (from the early invite/alpha days), forwarded to another of my mailboxes. It had a weak password, leaked as part of one of the many database leaks.

Eventually I noticed some dude in Brazil started using my Gmail, and he changed the password — but I still got a copy of everything he did through the forwarding rule. I caught him bragging to a friend on how he cracked hashes and stole and sold email accounts and user details in bulk.

He used my account as his main email account. Over the years I saw more and more personal details getting through. Eventually I received a mail with a plaintext password... which he also used for a PayPal account, coupled to a Mastercard.

I used a local website to send him a giant expensive bouquet of flowers with a box of chocolates, using his own PayPal and the default shipping address.

I included a card:

"Congratulations on acquiring my Gmail account, even if I'm 7 years late. Thanks for letting me be such an integral part of your life, for letting me know who you are, what you buy, how much you earn, who your family and friends are and where you live. I've surprised your mother with a cruise ticket as you mentioned on Facebook how sorry you were that you forgot her birthday and couldn't buy her a nice present. She seems like a lovely woman. I've also made a $1000 donation in your name to the EFF, to celebrate our distant friendship"

Thanks @dfox and @trogus for the stickers! Letter got a little wet, but swag is in good shape. I'll definitely use them when I'll buy a new laptop 😀

It's disheartening to see a senior member of my team shitting on the code of less mature developers. Don't just say "this is unacceptable", elaborate, teach them. How are they going to action anything from that feedback?

Take the time to respond to their questions when they ask for clarification on what you're saying. Don't berate them.

Honestly some developers need to learn a thing or two about code etiquette.

There's no room for good cop / bad cop behaviour.

Today is NFF. No Fukk Friday. Not a single Fukk will be given today. No.
