Stay away from 'master'. OK?

This is what working from home means in Argentina (that's a mate (pronounced mah theh)).

What we really mean...

My boss said something genius today: "understanding client's wishes is like writing a regexp for everything they say"😂

Million kilometers away, perfect aim...

Spent the last 15 minutes explaining the difference between bit and byte to a Comcast rep...

The AH-MAZ-ING feeling you get when you write 200 lines of code without compiling and everything just works as planned!!!

Pm: "so how long should this take?"

Me: "well, I see at LEAST 8 hours of work here for me, some of which can't be done without graphics, but let's assume graphics are done by designers by the time I get to hour 6 and I just have to plug the images in without much editing or tweaking."

Pm: "So you'll have this by tomorrow?"

Me: "Do you think I just sit on my hands all day waiting for one of you trolls to give me something to do? I said AT LEAST 8 FULL HOURS OF MY TIME, that would be assuming I could get 8 consecutive hours to work on this, and let's face it that's not gonna happen."

Pm: "So Friday...?"

Me: "Tell the client that so long as there aren't any unforseen issues it could be done as early as Thursday. I'll put it on my schedule, but it is not a priority until at least Monday. There's only one of me and 5 other active projects on my desk."

Pm: "I'm gonna tell them Wednesday morning we'll show it to them for approval."

What in the hell is wrong with people?

VLC has some problems with Windows

There are a lot of things that could rank up as the worst about being a dev, such as recurring meetings, documentation, shitty requirements, pm gnats, Monday, etc...but something that truly ruins it all is NO INTERNET CONNECTION.
