@simpleJack so you bug fix during sex to last too? Thought I was the only one 😂😂

I am ready to win this! Got my hair all did up, fancy clothes on, and a brain full of my shit talking stories! Going to pee on someone's desk to assert dominance!

Kidding, but it is really helping that I feel like I look good. One less thing to worry about

@Kodnot haha yeah, I am watching for that! Or if my coffee jitters get bad enough to look like a junkie.

@Froot yes, but think of how awesome a coder could be if they started Fortran at 7?! By 25 they could be a code deity!

Or you could be like me. Got told my pupils are like 50% larger than normal, so light just hurts...

Doc said just said to wear sunglasses when it is bad, otherwise ignore. Nothing he can do.

I mean, if I am the client and it had that much improvement, I wouldn't ask questions. You did animal sacrifices to make it faster? It won't give away secure information? Ok, here is your money

Wtf, such bullshit. Like, are they concerned you wont be able to survive or something? I assume your husband is in the military and they are concerned about having to send him back to take care of you?

Also, what happens if you had two arms, and fall and break both? Or your neck? Or spine? So much bullshit.

Personally, I go with like broken bells or something. Maybe the killers, maybe glass animals. Something I can flip between while coding to satisfy the ADHD demon I have a pact with my head 😁

@stop 4 times?! I was thinking of offering 2 times, once a week. And definitely on the contract, paid up front

@mkdirLuci4 lol exactly right. They asked if I could stay late and work weekends to do it later, after I (re)explained the hard stop date. Now we talk money possibly haha

Oh, we just panic deploy "fixes" on top of it, losing lots of time, energy, and uptime...

@bahua sorry, less money than the offer I received, not less than I am getting now. Still a crap deal though

so they offered me less money and worse hours. Then told me to beg for more time before switching jobs...

After all that, the second guy contradicted the second manager saying that hours would get better. I know they won't, because I deal with this s*** everyday!

Anyways, no bridge burning, but I didn't keep them intact on purpose either

@Navigatr Right! Then a Tweed suit!

Can it be a black turtle neck? Just claim Steve Jobs! I already have the hipster glasses, but I am not built for skinny jeans...

@Floydian I get being the better person, but when he has been laughing at me pulling 120 hour work weeks for months to meet his estimates, it would feel SO good to do finger guns on the way out 😋

he does actually crack jokes about me not having any spare time, and my wife forgetting what I look like...

Right! That is why my projects are named things like Orthodontist Shark, or Wretched Flamingo! No confusion there.

@JoshBent haha the true question! I would give details, but it would make me identifiable to my job...

Essentially, their corporate structure has been dicking my team around, and their devs have not been giving a shit and letting our system and timelines go out the fucking window.

All while sending us propaganda

@paranoidAndroid interesting idea! It would save on train tickets.

My only issue is that I am married, so I don't think my wife would be thrilled.

In my last two interviews, we had internet access. First one we were actually shown Java documentation and told to use some obscure function. Second one just allowed Google.

Work does 6 ints only, changed every 5 weeks... I would bet money my entire building is insecure and easy to guess

It is supposed to be a smiley face btw haha

I agree with you, but hr does love to see certificates...

@rising 😁😁

@rising Yeah, I am trying to find ANYTHING to get me out.

We have a devops leader funny enough. Not sure what ours actually does though. Not ragging on the profession, just haven't seen ours do anything in particular

@rising yeah, sounds great! I would love some setup like this, but nobody really seems to know what is going on enough to do that. We have no automated testing even though some of us has pushed for it. It is very "get it done!" Mentality with people overwriting other people's changes...

I am no excusing the bad behavior my team has committed(some of us have done our best to stop it, but most don't even care anymore), but we have been in crunch time for 8 months now, so most people just don't give a fuck haha

@rising Showing my inexperience, what is continuous deployments?

Our current plan is trying to make it look good for the boss, so it goes like "Look at the 150 things we did last 2 weeks! Play with them all and don't notice as we panic deploy hot fixes." Also, the testers demand no deployments until they are done which can take a week...

@allthingsinmod We may not deploying every Friday, but when we do a major deployment it is scheduled for Friday at like 3. Which rolls into 6 or so...
