I took over a project recently. I asked for updating instructions… as in “once I make changes, how do I push to prod?”
They gave me instructions on how to update angular and dotnet packages.
Mother FUCKERS.
I spent time digging around the code, setting up my dev env, and then I noticed dev and prod had a slight difference.
“yeah, we gave you the wrong branch”
Fuck.
I had to dig around and find out how they started the docker on prod and then I could replace the .dll and restart the container. It was not fun.
I took over a project recently.
I recommend you give it back to them
No can do. It’s for someone who I owe big to, and the company that created the software has gone out of business.
Unless you have a position open for a full stack dev/SDET.
Well, I could, but then you’d owe me big too, which puts you in a terrible place, so, you’re better where you are.
Play it safe. You never know how long you’ll have the chance, so best to switch if off immediately. It’s the only way to be sure.
This is gramatically correct in some languages with double negatives, such as Czech.
Seems to be a general feature of Slavic languages.
Although it would prolly be “never do not”
Czech has nearly free word order. You can put “nikdy”, “nevypínejte” and “server” in any order, depends on context and what is emphasized but this one is indeed preferred.
Yeah, but that’s not Czech written there…?
Could have been a dumb translation from one of such languages… like on this piece of military equipment made in the Czech Republic

Double negatives are fun! It’s a little weird how, depending on the context and language, they can either be positive or extra-negative. “I don’t see nothing!” is often used to mean you can’t see anything, the double negatives reinforce each other rather than cancel out into a positive meaning. Similar for “I don’t have no …” or “we don’t need no …”
Satisfaction
I just quit my job. We have a dotnet application running that I didn’t write, but I’m the only one who knows a little dotnet, so I took care of it. My handover will be this, or “learn dotnet”.
Learning .NET is easy, the hard part is understanding the business. You can buy books or training for whatever language, but once the people who thought up the logic of the system leave, all you can do is archeology.
The business:

It’s okay you don’t need to know the language anymore, ai go brrrrr
I just watched the episode of The Office where Michael drives his car into the lake because the GPS told him to turn right. LLMs will brrr you right into the lake and it will be your fault for trusting it
I just watched the episode of Seinfeld where George has the puffy jacket
It’s Gortex.
As long as insurance covers it, do we really need to care? If there’s a big problem, insurers’ lobby groups will get the law changed
“Did you get the rental insurance?”
It is exact opposite of what you think it means the second time, btw.

Thats as clear as I can make it
Hey, at least you got documentation! That’s more than I got at my last job.
🌟self documenting code🌟
Not for nothing never happen
So… sometimes switch off? As a treat?
We don’t need no education
Not never Uh? So do? Why not say “Don’t ever?”
