Fuckin hell, all I wanted was to keep my Skydrive. That’s fuckin it. Nothing more.
sigh I’m gonna have to switch to some self hosted bullshit ain’t I? It’s gonna be back to ye old “let’s save today’s photos from my phone onto my machine” bullshit?

Oh I remember years ago my project manager worried I was not at my desk typing and I had to explain to him that my brain was constantly thinking about the code. Even while on breaks, even at night, 24/7 essentially. It took time to convince him but thankfully my senior knew I wasnt bullshit ting because he was seeing my code. I did burn out after two years, obviously.

Sure, but I’ve a guy working with me who’s supposed to have ten years xp in the tech we use, and he’s pretty fucking useless.
Meanwhile the young front-end dev who didn’t know any of our tech turns out to learn everything we throw at her after one explanation. Pure tech eval would’ve meant throwing her away after reading her cv.

Telling me your blood type or astrological signs is as useful as telling me your certifications and years of experience, these days.

It’s funny to read the reactions and the people not understanding that programming questions are not enough to judge you. We need people with functioning brains and that usually means problem solving skills. And sometimes the problems are fucking idiotic! Nobody cares about the light switches. We want to see how you think. We want people who don’t give up if they can’t look it up.

You think you’re hot shit because you learnt the latest trendy language? I’ve wasted entire days with people like that because they couldn’t be fucking arsed reading error messages and figuring things out by themselves.

Somebody set us up the bomb!

How about BIOS update?

EAC games were literally unplayable on my machine without updating my BIOS.

What a sad man.

Whatever happened to that?

Ah that’s on me, no worries. I’ll add the little /s because indeed it was sarcasm.

Yeah. It’s like doctors ; they really love it when people thank God for saving a patient. Usually it’s the dumbass family but it’s really a special moment when it’s the dumbass patient themselves.

But then how would we know you really mean to respect those standards? /s

Oh I see you’ve visited Barcelona. Oh, and Annecy, my previous hometown.

That person and I seem to be doing similar jobs because I certainly would take on that challenge (SAML is such a fucking nightmare…)

My gut feeling says it’s true!

That’s some quality pixels right there!

Well, how does he feel about taytoes? That’s how you can really tell.

Please explain!

Are you joking? C64 was the bomb back in the day! My Atari and Amiga mates were enjoying colors and music and games while I had sat there on my colourless, mute PC. All I had was Flight Simulator 2 in black and white. And DrBrush for drawing in Hercules “graphics” mode.

My cousin became an IT tech. I set her up with Ubuntu on a cheap desktop when she was about 12.
