At $work, I just learned that a daemon on prod makes an SFTP connection to the same domain every 0.5 to 10 seconds, all day long, every single day. That’s a minimum of 8,640 connections per day!
The senior developer responsible for it had the dev skills of a junior and the management skills of a puppet, but she’s a “disadvantaged minority” and is great at stealing credit and throwing people under the bus. Naturally, she has been given multiple promotions and a team to lead… which she fills exclusively with other Indians, all of them at her skill level or below. (I used to do their code reviews and security reviews.)
When I asked one of the fintech managers (a former dev) about the crazy number of SFTP connections, he said “[Her team] did that intentionally, as it didn’t used to be that way. They must have had a reason” and cut me off.
Okay then.
Not my garden, not my fertilizer.
Just another day weeding the fields in hell.9 -
Want to prevent your Windows PC from ever entering sleep mode? (Okay, okay, I know, you can do it in settings.)
Easy solution: Launch the Amazon Music app. (Without even playing any music, just launching the app prevents sleep mode, lol.)
What dumb developers from Amazon...2 -

I really want this whole industry to die. I want it to happen from the bottom of my soul!
Their whole job ad was about web technologies where they were asking for a 7-10 years Symfony developer.
One would think being a programmer for 10 years should superseed your shitty LLM prompt crafting requirements.
Truly, there never was a better time for global EMP to happen..16 -
I didn't become a developer to be legacy's bitch. But we're all legacy's bitch.
I want to roam free. I want to piss in the rain and sing at strlen. I don't want to be in corporate meetings anymore.
I don't want to contort my ideas and good intentions to fit legacy's ugly painting.
I want to be free.
Please let coding be fun again.

This is lead acetate. It looks like sugar and tastes like sugar, yet it’s as toxic as lead.

Guys what the hell.
I clicked “update and shut down” and it honestly did it. It didn’t restart and leave my laptop running. It actually really for real genuinely earnestly updated and SHUT DOWN. Microsoft finally figured it out? They finally did it?????7 -

And had to do open heart surgery on the service to get it unfucked.
Shit happens. Luckily its internal prod only...10 -
