You know what's the difference between
- static page written purely in HTML with inline styling
and
- dynamic page generated in PHP, that actually loads data from MySQL database and is correctly styled in separate CSS document
on national level exam necessary to earn a title of technician?
ONE HACKING PERCENT!

Ok, backstory. So, few days ago I got results from that exam. To be honest, it was very, very easy so I wasn't worried at all, unlike some of my classmates who just don't understand programming at all (you need at least 75% to pass). Our task was to create database, write website in PHP that shows contents of that database and use CSS to give it a look that of example web page and run it on XAMPP. I've got result of 96% and while I was wandering what I've done wrong i hear my colleague almost screaming with joy "I passed! And I haven't even touched PHP. I was soooo sure I'll fail." So I asked him what's his result and he says 95%. And then another colleague said he got 95% without PHP. So, in other words what I thought to be the main task was worth 1%. Apparently, what was more important was for the page to look identical to the example, so I guess some examiners didn't even look into the source. And don't get me wrong, I don't wish my classmates had failed. That's not why I'm ranting. But why in the name of Ada Lovelace the task said to use PHP and all that if it weren't supposed to check our knowledge of programming in PHP? Sometimes I think the people who design these tests don't even know what they're doing.

Client: I need html code for this search bar *attaches png*

Me: Ok. I will send you the code. HTML is just for front end views.

Client: ok. I will place an order, you can send it over *places order*

Me: *copy 6 lines of code from bootsnipp*
*make some changes*
*submit to client*

Client: Thanks but when I press the search icon it does not display the relevant records.

Me: *smh*

Start a billion personal projects and work on none of them...

I broke up with my girlfriend today

She asked me a help of a some real time issue.
What she actually want to accomplished is to copy content through mouse from one laptop, unplugged the mouse, plugging in the mouse to other laptop and trying to paste content there.

Anyone used Electron at all? What are your thoughts?

Her: I like a man who lives dangerously
Me: I sold a game to my client without debugging it
Her: grab a mop

I hate people who put underscore at the beginning of private variables names in Typescript. And I don't care if they have their reasons, I just hate them.

Actual message i got today from a friend: "How to send a GET request with css"

I dont know him anymore

"That piece of code sucks...I will fix that tomorrow."

No, Patrick, Dropbox is not a Version Control System. Google Drive isn't a VCS either.

Psychiatrist: How would you describe your life right now?
Me: Have you ever wrote JavaScript?

Me: "It's been three months, and you haven't placed the footer at the bottom of the page yet? It's in the bloody middle"

Colleague: "I havent gotten around to it yet"

Me: "I'm not really involved in this project, but I'm gonna move that fucking footer, it takes literally 2 seconds!"

He got pissed of and told me no.
He later told me "I don't want you to do it... cause I want to learn how to do it myself".

He's been working with web development for the last fucking year and a half...

Oh. It's been another 3 weeks. The footer is still right in the bloody middle of the page 🙃

I automatically don't trust People who use pictures of clouds on the background for anything related to cloud computing.

So, I needed a package installed on one of our Unix servers. The package manager--which is obsolete garbage--was failing with a message which can only be described as a variant of "Go fuck yourself". A quick Google search didn't help.

3 espressos and an eternity later, I have descended into a manic state. My hair has turned grey and I have started lactating. As a last-ditch effort, I try a new search query on Google, and the first link takes me to a forum with a thread discussing a similar issue. The last post in the thread has a solution which works for me. After fixing the issue, everything in the world feels right and I decide to thank the generous poster, who is like an angel to me at this point.

Guess what? The poster is none other than me. 8 months back, I had created a user account on the forum just to post the solution to a similar issue I had on another server.

My friend introduced me to rick&morty.

My weekend mostly consisted of me getting schwifty®.

Instead of getting work done.
