After 10 years of pain. The sweet delight I got from deleting Jira. Better than squashing any bug.

I'd love to tell the guy who invented *null*: "Thanks for nothing!"

Being a Woman in Tech® is exhausting because every time we know something a male superior doesn’t, we have to end our statements with “but maybe I’m wrong, what do you think?” so they feel like it’s their idea and take the topic seriously.

I used to be adamantly against this type of coddling but they beat it out of me. You can only be straightforward and confident a finite number of times before you’re pulled aside and told you’re “cocky,” “arrogant,” “irritating,” etc. So many of us use this strategy to avoid those labels, but it’s a tiring part of the job we shouldn’t have to think about.

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

All B2B solutions boil down to "How I import your Excel"

3 more workdays and then this nightmare of MS Teams will be over. I swear when Microsoft planned that they had a list of everything Slack did right and told the team if anything on that list was included they would be hung up by their unmentionables with fish hooks.

People who say “hi” and wait till you reply to tell you what they want should be strapped to a pole, covered in maple syrup and dropped into a pit of hungry ants.

Told by boss earlier that my job description should be changed.
It should be cook or chef, as I'm making spaghetti inside my editor.

He argued it could be risotto as well

Anaconda. Quite fitting a name to something that fucks up python environments so thoroughly. Ironic too, given that it was meant to simplify. Anaconda doesn't give a shit about the python that came with the distro. And all packages installed with pip are only visible to anacondas python. Not a single note of caution during installation​. Or a best practices guide for the newbie. Just chaos. Utter chaos. The price of being a noob had been paid.

Oh shit

Hey everyone! @trogus and I are headed to TechDay New York tomorrow (May 10) and there will be a devRant booth in the social network section. If any devRanters are attending, you should definitely stop by our booth! There will be free swag and we’d love to meet some fellow ranters!
