I know a place where they still do this. Theyâve got an 8-digit user count, 7 digit monthly profits, all running on one server that costs something like $20 a month. Theyâve downsized a few years ago to single-digit employee number and just sit there and collect profits. And this is why Iâm now working for a company that casually dropped a few grand for a glorified CPU usage meter and a few grand on top of that for deployment tool that does the same thing that the old guy at a former place was doing with his trusty FTP client.
The best Hello World I saw used a random library. Because thereâs no true random without hardware, the author figured out the correct seed to write Hello World with ârandomâ characters. Iâve used that to show junior devs that random in programming doesnât mean truly random.
I would love to start using ipv6 but my ISP decided that their devices wonât support prefix delegation because ânobody uses ipv6 and nothing works with itâ
I uninstalled one drive immediately, itâs so annoying. Itâs also really fucky with when it updates files. If I need to use it, Iâll go on my browser
Apparently Iâm Neutral Evil. But I consider myself to be Chaotic Neutral.
Iâll fix the problem only when itâs actually a computer problem and when you can explain what the problem properly. I donât care if itâs a ticket or an email. Though I might not get to the email today and tomorrow I might forget about it, so you might want to put a ticket in thatâll stay the until itâs closed. But the ticket system sucks, so I might not log into it and see your ticket for a few days. If you send an email, I might do it right away, but you might have to remind me about it in a few days because I mightâve forgotten about it.
I donât care about your job title. If you VP of whatever the fuck and think youâre important or if you were hired yesterday to an entry level position, youâre all users to me. But the issues arenât fixed based on the order they come in, itâs based on how much effort you put into describing the problem. If you think youâre too important to describe the issue properly, youâre low priority. If you want a meeting to describe the issue verbally, oh you better believe youâre low priority, Iâm not your fucking secretary thatâs going to take down your dictation. You got a keyboard in front of you, use it. I might eventually get around to asking you for more details about the problem, but only after Iâve fixed all of the problems reported by people that made an effort. Your priority is based on your effort.
Ok so maybe Iâm Lawful Evil? But everyone thinks Iâm Chaotic Evil because they donât understand why some people get stuff done right away while they have to wait.
