Fun Java test:

Without looking up anything, answer the following question:

Which of the following variable identifiers is legal in Java and why?

1) float $50.00;
2) float $50_00;
3) float 50;
4) float else;

Just came back from my first day at cloudflare. I've already removed quite a bit of dead code.

First it was Amazon region-wide service issues. Now it's Cloudflare having issues.

Fuck sake man.

Things that we should collectively refuse to do while job searching:

- AI interviews and live coding sessions
- Working with recruiters who don't know shit about tech
- "What is your Github" (I don't use github, retard, they're microsoft. Beside, I don't have a strong portefolio because I had an actual job, you should try it).

IT Support Be Like:
User: “My computer is broken. Everything is broken. The whole system is down.”

IT: “Okay… what happened right before it broke?”

User: “…Nothing.”

IT: “Nothing?”

User: “…Well, I did click a pop-up that said ‘Your computer is infected, click here to fix,’ then I installed something called ‘SuperCleanUltraMaxOptimizerPro,’ then the screen turned blue, then I heard a noise that sounded like a dying microwave… but that couldn’t have caused it, right?”

IT: “…Right.”
Takes a deep breath, opens the toolbox, pulls out holy water and a USB stick.

Just had a second interview for a job in southern france.

At least i wont freeze to death omg

Looking at a job posting and they check to ask if you have experience using javascript/typescript for the backend.

All I'm left thinking is why would somebody choose that for the backend. I can understand if you know nothing else it would make sense.

Who the fuck thinks that giving the user the possibility to delete/create any DB column is a good idea on a table that should have 100k+ records.

Why does this senior guy not realize how bad this is.

Management have become awkwardly moist over Google AI Studio in the last few days.

My senior dev pushed the backend on lab finally. It's even worse than expected.

- No documentation
- 1 query that retrieves data
- the one query is not even usable in our application without changes
- the total of 1 record that is able to fetched
- somehow misses queries he demo'ed in a meeting more than a month ago

Being unemployed for the first time in 9 years is definitely more stressful than I thought. I have enough money to ride out a job search for about 8 months, but still. Not having recurring income for the first time is scary.

Ain't nothing like compiler development to make you want to jump of a bridge

I went in with my childish naivety. How wrong I was... lmao

Best buy employees and geek squad don’t know shit about computers

Today I learned the difference between Hashmap and LinkedHashMap in Java.
After 20 years of PHP development I could not undestand the difference until I hit my nose on an error.
It'hard to change yous development stack whene you are 50 year old.

I just had a recruiter reach out to me on LinkedIn for a senior front end developer job. Hybrid, 70% more than what I currently get as a Laravel developer. And I really like working with Laravel.

Fuck... I've been in this new job since September and I might just pursue this. It's SO MUCH MONEY, HOLY FUCK.

Problem is, I won't have a lot of holiday time when my lover wants to come visit me next year.

If only all job-hunting web UIs had proper filtering options, e.g.:

- by location, job type, contract type, etc etc.

A number of them just dump all the applications in one place.. without filters.. sigh lol.

Countless times, the managerial leeches tried to get rid of us labourers. They tried with WYSIWYG. They tried with No-code bullshit. Now they're trying with IA.

Over and over again, they will fail. And if only they could realize before crashing the world economy AGAIN, that would be fucking great

So, I'm doing some freelance work for a company...

Holy shit their chatgpt chats.

I swear, they go to the level of import {isOdd} from 'is-odd';

Somehow I feel that I just can't lose any job because I'd be one of the very few able to function whenever openai is down...

How normal is it for someone working in test automation for 4+ years to ask how to install an intellij plugin via screenshare and accuse me for being impatient and rude for suggesting them to google?

Omg I hate github. Fuck microsoft I swear those leeches are ruining everything they touch. They're like reverse midas.

- joins new company
- here for a month
- finds out entire team is getting laid off
- hr: "can you finish your 30 day survey please"

I had to explain git merge to a senior level dev. It is 2025

"Bookkeeping" is the most Dutch looking English word ever!

Wow Been a while since I opened this app. Hi devRant

Just fixed a bug no one knew I caused.
Feeling like a hero… and a criminal… at the same time. 🕵️‍♂️💻

Why so much hate on PHP

Caching is a cruel mistress.

I've probably said that before, but I can't remember whether I've said it before or not, because caching is a cruel mistress.

ColdFusion is a bag full of pure, manure-reeking stupidity.
For example, some functions, like arrayIsDefined, return YES or NO - instead of true or false. I'm not kidding. Adobe == fucking lamers ? YES : NO. Definitely YES.
