Just finished this great book! It was really entertaining and interesting 🙂
And it explained the advantages of DevOps and CI/CD in a very understandable way 😁

Do you have any other good recommendations for IT novels?

Why not have a game of DevSecOpoly? Doing DevOps and Security right!

I copy a line from one spec (to create a user) and paste it in another spec. It works just dandy in the first, and throws MySQL missing column errors in the other.

Fucking what.

This codebase is full of shit like this. Things work in one place but not another, and it’s never obvious why. Tens of thousands of gotchas and quirks. The only way I can get an answer to things like these is to either beg my boss for an explanation, which I’m sure he’s long since tired of, or spend a full day (or more) wading through several rabbit holes filled with raw sewage.

I wasted two hours today trying to get a simple fucking factory to work. And you know what? I just gave up and used the existing admin user. Yeah it’s a bad idea, but it’s fucking good enough.

They can yell if they want.
I have no cares left.

A catastrophe is the thing that turns biology into physics.

Layoffs are exhausting. Especially when you have to come off PTO to attend meetings. Still have a job. Back to PTO.

Aubergine, oukome, taupe… wtf man. Just call colors old fashioned names, you know? Red, blue, green, yellow? Bitch

I thought my laptop was going crazy, but it was just my CAT laying on my wireless keyboard that was in another room!

Rocks are quiet because trees are listening.

AWS has left me completely defeated. GET requests to an ALB works fine but POST gives a bad gateway error. What the fuck?!

++ if you've ever had an IDE crash at the worst possible moment! 🤦‍♂️

What did the Java code say to the C code? You've got no class.

The only thing that’s keeping python alive are its god tier libraries. Take those away and it’s a piece of garbage.

I think I failed my google interview. Interestingly though, I feel better than I thought I would have

#strange

so now they've got me taking aptitude tests

like a little lab rat 🐁

tune in next week to find out my next foray in the idiotic hiring slop world of death

My god do I hate changing DNS settings. Spent an hour double and tripple checking everything and reading documentation. Was super stressed the entire time. Still ended up with a misconfiguration and 15 minutes downtime. But things seem to be working now.

no notion, i don't want to "ask AI"

i want to write my damn notes

A group of wolves is called a pack.

A group of crows is called a murder.

A group of developers is called a merge conflict.

Have you ever wondered we programmers have so many strong communities.... Stackoverflow, devRant, Reditt, etc...
No other profession has such communities... Why? Why?
Because, we haven't built one for them.... 😂😁

When a hiring manager wants 5+ years experience in Swift.

Swift release date = June 2, 2014

😂👍🖕

Developer: We have a problem.
Manager: Remember, there are no such things as problems, only opportunities.
Developer: Well then, we have a DDoS opportunity.

Why did the programmer quit his job? Because he didn't get arrays.

What is a vampire's favorite fruit? A blood orange.

Had a longer talk with a friend today.

Acquaintances of theirs were at a restaurant (!) a few days ago, complaining about how much they paid for breakfast buffet. Their rant went on how the restaurant didn't even include coffee in the breakfast buffet.

I know this restaurant. I really like it there. They roast their own coffee in the back. They have a transparent bakery with spelt flour, from certified organic farming. They support the regional farmers, even the meat for the cold cuts etc comes from a local butcher, livestock is from regional free range farming.

If you wanna know what's wrong with customers, that's the prime example.

Not only didn't they bother at all to look at the menu... They ignored at all what they paid for. Just stuffed themselves without any thought at all.

Then they wondered why the price was so high.

Of course, high price = bad, so they rant everywhere what a bad restaurant they visited.

It just made me so fucking angry, cause that's the same shit I have to deal every day with. Not giving a damn, not reading any information at all - but spouting nonsense and foul mouthing everything is okay.

Fuck those kinds of humans.

When you see "Database must be encrypted with SHA1 or SHA2" in software requirements specification....

when you're done with your code and user requirements change again.. :/

Ship it!

Software requirements

I've learned that trying to jump into a project without properly understanding everything it will entail is bad.

I recently worked on a project that involved modernizing a legacy system and no one on the team (including me) fully understood how the legacy system worked. This led to us missing a lot of edge cases and attacking the project in a way that really wasn't beneficial overall.

If we had thought about the entire system beforehand and mapped out the legacy system, the project would've turned out much better.
