      Hahaha! We’ve an “architect” who insists he needs to be the owner on the gitlab. My colleague has been telling him to fuck off for the entire week. It reached the point that fool actually complained to our common boss… The guy is so used to working as a start-up and has no fucking clue about proper procedures. It’s terrifying that he could be in charge of anything, really.

      Ouch yeah that windows endpoint stuff is really rattling though. I get you just can’t whitelist some folder without compromising security, but when the “eNdPoInt pRoTeCtIon” just removes dlls and exes you are compiling (and makes your PC crawl) you really hate that shit.

      Right click? 40 seconds plz (maybe any of the possible contextual right clicks might be on a virus so lets just check them all once again).

      At home I have an old linux pc, and it blows those corpo super pcs out the window.

      Rant off :-D

      Ah yeah, IT people are chill, always be cool with them is also a good idea, not their fault all this crap exists.

      No, we can’t get gigabit fiber everywhere. No, I don’t care if your program needs it. Yes, the laws of physics are laws for a reason. Write more robust code.

        Write more robust code.

        Sure, I could read a book about best practices and Big O…but…What if we just table the idea for a few iterations of Moore’s Law instead?

          and Big O

          It’s asymptotic. Slower O doesn’t mean faster program.

      Yep, unrealistic expectations.

      Or “you need a 12th gen i7 to run this thing”… the thing is a glorified Avidemux.

        Christ, if you could see the abysmal efficiency of business tier SQL code being churned out in the Lowest Bidder mines overseas…

        Using a few terrabytes of memory and a stack of processors as high as my knee so they can recreate Excel in a badly rendered .aspx page built in 2003.

          We have a table with literally three columns. One is an id, another a filename and a third a path. Guess which one was picked as the primary key?

          Never seen something so stupid in 28 years of computing. Including my studies.
