I was told that my comment on another rant needed to be its own rant. So here it is:

I had a client that runs a tattoo shops website to be updated and more modern. He wanted nothing to do with looking at or approve mock ups or designs so I just did my thing and took care of it. Once I was finished I showed him what I had and said “now I just need some content from you all so I can replace all the placeholder text and images”.
He seemed completely onboard. Took down notes of all the content needed, assigned all of it out to his artists to gather what I needed and provide it to me.
After 6 months, and several emails asking if they ever got that content together I finally get a response:
“LOOK MAN, if you didn’t want to do the site then you shouldn’t have accepted the money. I know you don’t need all these from us to finish up, you’re just stalling! I need the site up now!”
So I’m like “Sure man, I’ll publish it exactly as it stands now.”
An hour later I get a call “who are these people in these pictures? Why do you have our pricing all wrong? Why is everything in French or something (Lorem ipsum)? I just need my money back at this point.”
I explained that he’s not getting his money back because I already did my part, but just because it’s important to me that a client is satisfied (and seemingly what he wants is money) I can waive his hosting fee for the next 3 years.
It’s been a year now. Sites still up in all “French”, wrong pricing, random stock photos. Couple weeks ago he called to apologize for being a dick before.
Still haven’t gotten any content to finish up.
I don’t understand. It’s like these people think if you want to publish a book for instance that you just give the publisher the title you came up with and they’ll fill in the pages with story/info for you.
I’m a web developer, not a content manager.

When you look for a strongly opinionated article about JavaScript but you get a JavaScript framework instead..

Yes, Mr. Client. It is extremely wise of you to demand changes on release-day. Of course it won't go smoothly, untested and buggy as it will be.

Just got a job description from a recruiter with this little gem:

"maintain internet using MS Visual Studio"

If I have to use VS to keep your internet up, your company has some serious technical challenges ahead.

Git Bowl

I would like to put easter eggs in the software I work on.
I just doubt the surgeons/nurses that use it will appreciate when operating.

Me: Hey, do you play ku?
Friend: Ku?
Me: sudo ku?
Friend: :-|

Coworker: "localhost is down"
Me: "See you monday"

Friend texted me some binary.

Decided to impress him and decode it by hand.

Spent 5 minutes decoding "I eat ass".

Last minute changes B)

A small ducky for syntax errors

Oh but I insist ...

I know a brilliant joke about UDP but you might not get it..

Spending more time on JIRA than actual work...

maybe JIRA is actual work ? 🤔

Worst day ever!
