Don't you hate it when business people think they know everything about the technical side?

So I just launched a website where you can create web-scrapers with just the click of a button:

Haters gonna say it's photoshop

Wish Adobe would take a similar approach like Microsoft and release their Applications for Linux.. so I could use Photoshop and Lightroom there and ditch OS X completely...

The life of a frontend developer

Deadline on Friday.

Usual legacy development flow (https://turnoff.us/geek/...)

Just heard the principal engineer say "C Hash" 😱

Anyone else here ever used a bit of bluff to land a job?

When you think you're super cool and clever for creating an algorithm but then later find that there's a friggin library already made for that purpose.

IKEA can't "assemble" a functional website. I spent two days, had 4 checkout attempts and used 2 cards and 3 browsers to get to this stage.

Still beats driving to the store.

That fealing when someone that picked from the graves an old project that you've started when you were just a noob developer... and then you look at the code... and then the shame.

One of our customers calls everytime when he thinks he found a new bug. Then he literally yells "I found a new bow" since he thinks "bug" is a german word, so emphasizes it like that. In german "bug" means "bow of a ship".

It's me or there is an actual tendency of moving from php to node.js?

I hacked a browser game a few years ago for fun and the exploit I found and used was basically this:

<$php

$f = $_GET['f'];
$p = $_GET['p'];

$f($p);

So it was possible to pass a function and it's parameter in the URL to the server. The author used this to include() sub pages. I to highlight_file()s.

When I'm bored I play developers roulette.

($RANDOM % 6 == 0) && rm -rf / || echo "Click"

This is an old rant from over 10 years ago in my first job at 19. I was tasked with turning off one of our clients email because they had left the company. Easy enough, logged into cPanel, job done. Later that day I get a phone call from the clients company asking if there was a problem with the email. No I said, everything should be fine, I did remove a 'joe.bloggs@blah.com' email address as instructed because... *reading job bag*... they had left the company. The client then said, that's my email you've turned off and hung up. Turned out he had been fired and no one told him. I felt horrible. I will always remember that conversation 😓

Does any one else presses cmd+c / ctr+c multiple times just in case the first one did not work?!?

Work from home they said

If I could talk to Linus, I would ask him to change sudo for simon. And I'm convinced he would accept immediately.
