I just can't understand what will lead an so called Software Company, that provides for my local government by the way, to use an cloud sever (AWS ec2 instance) like it were an bare metal machine.

They have it working, non-stop, for over 4 years or so. Just one instance. Running MySQL, PostgreSQL, Apache, PHP and an f* Tomcat server with no less than 10 HUGE apps deployed. I just can't believe this instance is still up.

By the way, they don't do backups, most of the data is on the ephemeral storage, they use just one private key for every dev, no CI, no testing. Deployment are nightmares using scp to upload the .war...

But still, they are running several several apps for things like registering citizen complaints that comes in by hot lines. The system is incredibly slow as they use just hibernate without query optimizations to lookup and search things (n+1 query problems).

They didn't even bother to get a proper domain. They use an IP address and expose the port for tomcat directly. No reverse proxy here! (No ssl too)

I've been out of this company for two years now, it was my first work as a developer, but they needed help for an app that I worked on during my time there. I was really surprised to see that everything still the same. Even the old private key that they emailed me (?!?!?!?!) back then still worked. All the passwords still the same too.

I have some good rants from the time I was there, and about the general level of the developers in my region. But I'll leave them for later!

Is it just me or this whole shit is crazy af?

//TODO fix me ..

If my projects could talk.

Does it happen with anyone else - you try to fix one small bug Friday evening before leaving work and the next thing you know you are still at work at 9pm?!
If it's just me, I really need a life :(

Got to love Ubisoft web devs.

Their new "30 days of Ubisoft" calendar has the browser download 30 images of closed numbered boxes, 30 images for the hover state of each box and another 30 for the open state. Granted, the images aren't big, but hasn't anybody heard of custom fonts and CSS3?

Oh, and the "surprises" have already been leaked on reddit, gj on keeping hints in the page source.

Just managed to crash my laptop by opening too many tabs in chrome :/ I have 16gb of RAM

Fuck, forgot a semicolon. I hate CSS.

!rant

System.out.println(age);
if (birthday.isToday())
age++;

Output:

Anyone remember when PHP was a straightforward procedural language and not a pseudo-objective mess?
