*Client calles me at 7Am*

Client: why did you make everything smaller on my website ?

Me: look at the right side of your URL bar, do you see a minus sign ?

Client: yah, so ?

Me: click on it and set it back to default.

Client: oh ok this is working for me now, will this fix apply globally across the internet

Me: ...

Client: oh I think I asked a stupid question, thanks mate have a good day.

Me: you're welcome...

Who knew, Usb and rj45 are the same width? Not me after spending 10 mins trying to work out why mouse not working.

Thug life

Microsoft mentioned devRant on Twitter

Whenever I see a sign that says 'push', I always pull first, to avoid conflicts.

Picked up a legacy site to re-build, turns out just adding:

'?admin=1'

to the query string gave you full admin rights to the entire site without having to authenticate. The site was live for 2 years.

Worst part of being a dev: "we need this done by the end of the week"

Me: "ok what are the specifications?"

PMs: "not sure yet, we have a meeting with the client on Thursday."

Me: "cool, I'll look at it Monday."

Don't come to me with deadlines before you know what I'm building.

How it feels holding the power button when the pc freezes

Absolutely seamless upgrade from El Capitan to Sierra. Total time from downloading and installing Sierra, testing all my apps, servers, VMs and VPNs....under 90 minutes 💪

Got a great compliment today from one of my clients. "What you're developing for us right now, we thought was not probable". It make my job so worthwhile to get feedback like this 🙏
