I woke up early morning on a Saturday just to interview a guy and watch him struggle with his Linux system for 20 mins before we decide to reschedule the call.

🤦

Just got pitched another one of those “billion dollar” app ideas at work....

An app that stores app ideas

You don’t need an app for that, you can write your app ideas on a napkin and store them in the trash where they belong.

When someone in my family start a wedding ceremony and I being invited to help, but I don't have any other skill other than googling javascript. So in that time I just realize I don't like being human because I'am uselless, better be born as mic stand.

Welcome to the future guys.

The reason devRant doesn't have ads is that most of its userbase will have adblockers installed.

If I were on the ECMAScript committee, I would just ask them to use python for everything instead.

You acting tough with juniors but you spit on your hotdog before eating it

Round of applause for Mozilla... First they fire over 200 employees and now this bullshit...

I just managed to configure a second keyboard to map its keys to separate keycodes. Basically, I should be able to use it as a complete macro deck 😏 Thank god for Linux

Companies: We can’t find any senior developers to hire.

Also companies: We pay seniors like juniors.

I am watching Amazon prime Mr. robot and WTF hacking is so easy you just need to be alone and yeah morphine :P

Automation always fascinated me. Not only it looks and behaves like a life form, it also can perform billions of calculations without making a single mistake while I can’t even multiply double-digit numbers with my double-digit IQ.

If you pick the right components, you can make an immortal, perfect machine that can do its job for centuries, even millennia without a single mistake. There is nothing else on earth that can do this.

There is a robot surgeon and its hands never shake. It’s just flawless. If it fucks up, there is only you to blame, the flawed, pathetic operator.

And now it’s time to remember that it was just a 40s technology all along. And now it’s time to remember that now there is machine learning. A whole new perspective isn’t it. All the mistakes that machines make are sitting in front of the monitors.

No wonder I decided to be an engineer.

My cat represents me so well

Straight from a marketing analyst (we didn't have a PM) I once had the displeasure of working with:

"Can you write a JavaScript that will scan a user's hard drive for credit card numbers and autofill the checkout form on our client's web site? I think it will increase their conversion rate."

The guy didn't believe me when I told him it was impossible (barring exploits that would break the browser's sandbox), unethical, and probably illegal. I had to escalate all the way to the CEO to get him to drop it.

I'm straight, don't patronise me lol.

Basically most of the python scripts I've seen.

Apache. You. Fucking. Piece. Of. Shit. What. The. Fuck.

Jin Yang from silicon valley

I bet the new Macs will cost an ARM and a leg...

Germany plans to reduce their VAT from 19 to 16 % from July to December....

I'd guess a lot of old legacy projects will be fucked.

Anyone else remember the fun when you had a project where the VAT was hardcoded....everywhere.... And needed to be migrated?

I had two or three of those... God I'm so happy that I don't work for these companies anymore.

And I guess.... A lot of schadenfreude ... Cause I remember the pain, especially database wise.

Wow I haven’t been on here in a while.... 😅
Either way I saw this and I hope it’s not a repost.
