@rallport tbf I'm no longer there even though I had a month trial, just simply did not work out. That decision was made out today.

Laravel applied, no laravel code or projects and slapped into Wordpress theme building & working with their opencart bastardisation of an ecommerce system. = waste of my time and efforts.

@johnny-cache that library and your name is pretty damn witty too :)

I retract my previous statements. Fuck IDE's / Editors all together.

I'll stick with Tmux, Vim, Grep, Sed. I can get a lot more done in a quicker time than I do with Atom or any other editor. Without stupid load times :).

I know the feelings on this. I am using a Mac now for Work ^_^. Had to naturally install Tmux.

I know the code is shit, but the point was just to say I found out that I'm gonna be a dad :)

@Voxera It generates very ugly html :P. You are correct however if I was being pedantic I would've challenged the guy and got him with a technicality of the output of WordPress is HTML, but PHP is doing the work as Wordpress is nothing but a third party tool for lazy people.

@spences10 I don't know yet, at the moment they are taking me on for a month at first, then after that I'll get a review. I can't blame them though, they're really a genuinely honest company. Very transparent. I will check the contract when I start as my official start date is on the 3rd.

@spences10 I offered to go in at a certain rate, to me I'm not bothered about salary really, I haven't got x amount of years in commercial experience, but plenty in personal projects, friends, family etc and my own self learning. I have had 6 months experience in commercial taking that into account.

However I have given a bottom line which I will be able to live on and the company agreed. Once my experience grows so will my salary that's the bonus and benefit.

I start out small and work my way up the ladder.

@jdmkaan @stalinkay Oh I won't release that info on here, just for confidentiality. Hence why a lot of it is censored out. Just to protect myself and the company I'm working for :)

@burtybob Thank you :D

@Flarp This is indeed real. No joke.

@rallport ^_^

@rallport well all my efforts didn't go a miss, I done a sterling job and went above and beyond for the company which made them feel valued and landed me the position :)

@corjaantje Me too, been playing it lots. It's the only way to literally BREAK in a Guitar Hero Controller.

@theothergod Still has been customised though from that version. ^_^

@theothergod Cheers :)

Thank you @dfox @trogus! The envelope was nicely handwritten too! :)

@theothergod I used KS-Matrix or something like that, and basically made the colours a bit better and changed the font to "Hack".

@pily Don't use GDM or Gnome :P

Use openbox(at least)/i3/lightdm <3

@maximizer I wasn't intending to make anyone feel guilty, if they feel guilty then clearly there is something wrong.

#MentalHealthAwareness

Should research Asperger's Syndrome. It's a high functioning Autism Disorder.

To further lighten the mood,

Here's Rita Ora doing a cheeky jingle bell dance.

Oof.

@BikerMouse Apologies myself for being such a dramatic ass. Maybe I was a bit harsh, however I felt the need to rant especially where Dev Kitty was concerned.

I too am a Linux user, which is why he relates to Devs being a Tuxedo cat, I should have named him Tux but that was too common.

Lets forget the above comments and move forward.

@maximizer Of course everybody has the right to post w/e they want. Ducks are pretty damn cool to be honest but I prefer my cats. I personally don't want to see the aforementioned meme crap blasted all over dR and the same rants over and over however I don't bother commenting, I just leave it because if things are left then they don't get ++'s if a post doesn't get ++'s then it doesn't pop up in said dR feed. With regards to taking things personally, that's pretty hard to do when someone is insulting on something as simple as this and when you have Asperger's Syndrome. If people dont make twats of themselves then things wouldn't be taken personally.

Maybe there is a method to the madness. If said peripheral isn't clean, other people won't touch it but only the owner. I say that's a good security measure :)

@deadlyRants I like the old IBM Thinkpad x41 which you could use like a Surface but guess what... You could install LINUX! <3

@dfox @Trogus Hey! Apparently I shouldn't post pictures of my cute DevCat and we shouldn't be allowed to post imgs/gifs according to these people above.

Submitting feature request to REMOVE the attach img/gif for these people to be happy!

*Yawn* Stop complaining. At least it's not a stupid 90s meme which is posted 50x over about the same shitty subject by different users. Maybe if you got off your shitty Windows box's you wouldn't be so uptight.

Besides, that pussy cat right there, is always with me when I'm coding hence why he is here. He is my Dev Kitty. So he is a post in himself. It's also to see how many other devs on here have cats and actually appreciate them.

Also, I hardly use Facebook. Unless it is to post all other random crud generally about programming / web security or network with friends and family overseas. Personally I think Facebook is complete and utter wank. However that is another rant.

So my message... If you don't have anything nice to say then STFU because it isn't wanted on devRant. This is supposed to be a friendly community, not full of pretentious fuck wits.

@BikerMouse Sorry, you must be a dog person.

Dictating doesn't get you anywhere. If you don't like a post, don't comment? :).

Probably Postgres. I know this is used heavily in analytics systems.

Laravel and CI are both love.
