One is not enough!!!

Looks like a Chinese app for some "smart" gadget you buy off AliExpress.

Anyone with Photoshop experience will tell you that (at least 10-15 years ago) in order to create some abstract image, you need a base texture.
That texture is the clouds.. CLOUDS!
In HR eyes: CLOUD == BACKEND

Number 3 reminds me of Westworld and the way the devs talk to the robots for debuging and diagnostics.
And in the end it's all JavaScript.

@Jilano Yeah but Windows virtual desktops are more clunky than the Linux/OSX ones.

Does that mean that Comic Sans is your default font?

Are we there yet? Are BIOS UIs built with JS already? :D

@jotamontecino Crooks in Clover! ;)

@Fradow It's fine mate. I'm used to the fact that my friends treat my work stories with disbelief, I can't blame them.
The retreat thing was told in a more humorous way than it actually all happened. For example the cheating wife situation was extremely embarrassing for everybody. You don't get into these topics with your managers, older people, their families and etc. The husband cried and there was lots of swearing. I choose to omit it and focus on the good things.

Regarding the firing policy in the company. It seems like it's nearly impossible to get fired in the support department. I have a guy who worked here for two years and didn't finish a single task. He got fired after 2 years, and a couple of reassignments to different roles and teams.

Honestly, I should include him in these series, but he wasn't an intern. Though he's stupidity and antipathy were very funny at certain times.

@bdriesen you're partially correct.
Sometimes it's much easier to build something of your own then learn how to implement a better, existing solution.

LOL!
This must be the best case of a bad developer.
Even the laziest JavaScript devs would use an existing package/library and not build one of their own.
This one went below the bar of laziness.

@metamourge It's a question that my family, friends and coworkers keep asking all the time.

I think that such (and other, yet untold) things happen to everyone. I just pay more attention to these ones, remember them, and mostly take part in them.

Or maybe I'm just blessed / cursed.

As a respected Redditor with over 60kk Karma and the moderator of /r/lifecoaching I suggest using opaque themes for your IDE and only programming in C#, which is the fastest language that was granted to us by the great Bill Gates himself.
Python, like any other language without curly braces and semicolons, can not be taken seriously and should be destroyed!
Linux is obsolete since the day GNU/Windows was released. I like to laugh at all the Posix nerds while vaping and using my master race Frontpage IDE to build lightning-fast, scalable, printer-first, single-a4-page, web apps.

@Fabian It's called a fork bomb.
Fork, because it multiplies itself, and then runs the created children, which multiple again and again, exponentially.
Bomb because it depletes your system's resources.

You can run it on your PC, no damage will be done. Just be prepared to terminate the process or restart the PC.

Basically a function that calls itself again, twice.

I'm using Linux as my main OS, MacOS for work and Windows for gaming.
No matter what I say on this matter to my friends, I am immediately being labeled as a "hardcore fan" of the OS in question.
Talk about having no one to talk to 😅

@michezio @gitpush
MobaXterm would be better.

Maybe it's the ultimate fate of every successful company to become controlled by sales people.
People who don't care about the quality of the product, the customer experience or the original , pure and naive mission.
They prey on the stupid masses and care only about higher revenues.

It happens to every big company, disregarding the industry it's in. Be it internet services (Google), gaming (Blizzard) or social media even.

So, maybe it is indeed an expected outcome and some management ways need to be changed?

@theKarlisK their drivers are bad, because it's really hard to write software for their hardware. 💡

@theKarlisK I feel you, AMD hardware is horrible.

devRant is more like a devRepost nowadays.

This one triggered my subliminal rage.

Just provide the correct sorting function.

@echonox @broseph I was the one who built all that internal software, so work influx didn't really change.

That's a horror movie

@JoshBent that's what companies do. You sign an agreement for it.

I wrote a python script that does exactly that - it creates a new css and a new js file and separates those blocks from the html.

The company liked it and copyrighted it.

CompilationError: Remove UnitTest in production environment.

Those little arrow keys are the reason why developers have anxiety issues.
