I'm doing it. I'm going full ubuntard. Bye for now, windows.

Can anyone recommend a good JavaScript/jquery markdown editor that supports file uploads for images?

Working on a new laravel project and want to use markdown instead of WYSIWYG.

Imagine being so full of yourself that you use your own URL schema.

How do you deal with bad managers?

I'll give you an example. One of my managers requests a feature and then a week later claims it isn't working correctly, and asks me to change it again.

Another example, we were in a meeting and she requests a feature, then 5 seconds later requests something entirely different. It's like she didn't even remember what she requested 5 seconds ago. Everyone in the meeting saw it, but nobody said anything about it.

I'm on my way out of this company, but I'm just curious how other coders deal with it. I've watched this woman completely destroy 2 systems I've coded now.

Call centre manager was made VP of my tech company. Is now directing the programming department.

Yesterday she spent 30 minutes looking through Excel files in an attempt to prove me wrong. Literally found nothing, with 3 other people in the meeting.

Repeatedly told everyone she was "not crazy" in her failed attempt to throw me under the bus.

I love coding, but these human interactions are going to give me a heart attack.

Is this devrant or feelsorryformerant. If you're struggling with mental issues do this:

0. Stop watching the news and other negative garbage.
1. Remove shit people from your life. Just stop answering their calls or tell them you're busy with work/family/whatever.
2. Exercise at least 3 times a week. Weights and running.
3. Meditate every single day for at least 5 minutes. Mindfulness will help you let go of thoughts.
4. Start looking for a new job if you hate the one you're in, or try starting a side business.
5. Do things that make you uncomfortable. Complete small challenges every day.
6. Find your passion and do it even if only for a short amount of time every day.
7. Stop using desktop Linux.

Me yesterday:

"I think I've been too harsh on desktop Linux. Maybe I'll give it one more shot. Ok, debian 9 looks decent."

- Unetbootin fails to recognize usb drive

"Hmmm ok. I'll use ether to to put the iso directly on the drive."

- Bios requires disabling of secure boot

"Uhhh..I guess I'll just disable it in the bios."

- Debian fails to configure network

"Lol fuck this."

A call centre manager is dictating the direction for the development of an app I'm working on.

Everything is working perfectly and then I'm asked to implement logic that makes sense to noone else but her. Then a week later shit breaks. Then I'm blamed. Then I implement a "fix". Repeat this cycle over and over.

I've started looking at local postings for a job in construction.

Someone please explain to me how you can become vice president of an internet company and have no fucking clue about simple database logic. Not only that, but then ask developers for query logic that is literally impossible and waste weeks fucking around trying to get it to work the way your deranged mind has shit out these absurd concepts.

Know how they say programmers don't quit jobs, they quit managers?

Imagine having 3 managers that all want 3 different things and none of them know what the fuck they're talking about.

I've thought of the perfect analogy for people who constantly interrupt us while we are coding.

It's like you're a mechanic and you are working on a complex engine. You're focused on what you're doing, your hands are filthy, and you're just about to fit the part in that you've been trying to fit in for the past hour.

Someone comes along and asks you to help them open a pickle jar in the middle of your work. So you have to stop what you're doing, wash your hands, and then help them open the jar. By the time you're done your focus has completely shifted, you lost all momentum, and your progress comes to a complete halt.

This is what it's like for us when you come into our office or call us to ask us a question that isn't important or urgent whatsoever. It's especially frustrating when it's the same question that has already been asked 100 times.

Getting pretty sick of closed APIs that cost more money than I would make using them for an app.

Linux desktop fanboys: proprietary hardware support is a huge issue in all major Linux distros. It is the fault of the hardware companies.

Also Linux desktop fanboys: hardware issues are the fault of the beginner/novice end user.

Windows/mac users: *installs any component they want and has it work flawlessly without even having to read a single word from the manual*

Why isn't this working? I've wrote this same type of code at least 1000 times. Why must there always a problem? Literally every time I try and get something done there is always some stupid error and it's PISSING ME OFF. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH MY BRAIN AN...oh...I misspelled "fucntion"

Manager: this feature is not working correctly
Me: yes it is
Manager: no it isn't, change it to do X
Me: but X doesn't account for half of the logic
Manager: I don't care just get it done

(1 day later)

Manager: hey, the changes you made aren't accounting for some of the logic we need. Change it back immediately!
Me: ...
