Outsourcing company offered me a 6 month contract....
The freelancing is pretty slow right now so I basically have to take it. Only thing is the interview was so long ago I can't remember where or who the client is2 -
Client: We're already behind schedule and over estimate
Also client: *keeps asking for more changes*
Why are civilians like this11 -
So we're now in the year when Power Rangers SPD is canonically set...
Feels wrong...
The future didn't really deliver, huh5 -
Clients be getting all clienty.
I'm sorry there's been a couple of delays here and there but we're building real software. This isn't some drag and drop WordPress nonsense with plugins for everything like the outdated site for your hair salon. I'm annoyed by the delays too. I want to get paid...

Has anyone ever tried using socket.io through a cloudflare tunnel on Ubuntu server in Oracle Cloud?
Everything works great locally. Everything works great on my home windows machine through a cloudflare tunnel3 -
Y'all ever have a project that's going great until you get about 80% in then the client starts getting all clienty?5

No raise. Not like I single handedly rewrote one of our weirdest and most complex legacy code bases or anything... Oh and even so they whined about how long that took that's probably reason they'll cite if I ask about this lack of raise thing.
I mean, technically I got a little more just because the tax rates are different for the new financial year but come on5 -
So I gots me an Android app I'm writing in Ionic Angular
Cleartext is disabled by default these days. However I need to make requests from the app to ESP 32's running in the same network. They will always be running in the same network.
Setting cleartext = true in the manifest hasn't worked.
"whitelisting" the ip hasn't worked
It works when usb debugging and keeps working after I unplug the cable but won't work if I close and then reopen the app3 -
Anyone else suffer with an inability to compartmentalize?
Like f I have the slightest issue going on in my personal life, you can forget about giving a shit about your fictional deadlines on products that aren't even going live anytime soon3 -
Did I ever tell you guys about that time I got a whole monitor for 1 Zar?
Probably but I shall again.
"twas the same auction at work where I got the R100 laptop. There was an LG Flatron W2243S listed with no reserve price. It had description "Faint line down middle of screen"
Figured what the hell, bid R1, mostly to see kif anyone else would. I won it. Literally just swapped out the vga cable and did a factory reset. All happy now. Only downside is that it's vga only but hey, what else are you gonna do with R1?5 -
Found this line in code that's been in prod for 10 years
"int kak = object.getValue()"
There is no contextual reason for it to be called kak, which means shit in Afrikaans11 -
I may have asked this before...
Freelancers, what do you do wrt marketing / how do you find clients?10 -
Set this as my lock screen at work (3 days a week in office) just to see anyone would notice/say anything
