  • “logs show a reoccuring error in layer 8 everytime a subset of users engages with the system, reassigning this to the service desk to gather more information.”

    i’ve read that on real ticket, i’ve laughed about it. it also makes me glad that i don’t do customer support, i don’t have the patience to keep explaining the same people that they keep doing something wrong and i lack the diplomacy skills to engage with devs that believe to be infallible and pretend that bug reports are personal insults against them.


  • because no one follows the damn guide and “scrum” is done so managers can claim the company can work “agile”, because customers dont want “not agile”, customers also dont want to participate in the way it would be necessary for a project thats supposed to follow the scrum guide. that also sounded good for people looking for a new job so hr wants to put that into job descriptions and now everything is scrum and agile and i still have to sneak in refactorings or have to fight to get time to work on our fricking ci pipeline or need to conspire with QA to get them time to work on test automation, because screw the notion that decisions should be done by the people doing the work.

    screw “scrum”, and the word “agile” should never have been taught to anyone claiming to be a “manager”, we don’t need managers we need people helping us getting the tools we need and trust that what we do, we do to deliver better solutions and helping us to fascilate constructive exchanges with customers.


  • data-plumbing-for-corporations tends to be able to be done in a way that’s easily testable, but also most people get paid to bolt on new shit onto old shit and spending time on “done” code is discouraged so once they fall behind on writing tests while developing the new shit those tests will never be written.

    and bad developers that won’t write tests no matter what actually do exist.






  • the “what” is interesting on interfaces or when you generate documentation with some tool like sphinx or javadoc.

    the “why” is interesting when you are somewhere inside a class or function and do something in a “strange” way, to work around a quirk in the codebase or something like that, or when you employ optimizations that make the code harder to read or atleast less obvious why somethings are done.



  • Definitely not normal.

    I’ve got mine for 2 years now and could probably still count crashes like that on one hand. so if you are sure it’s not a faulty sd card or something like that causing this i’d send it back.

    e: sometime ago an Update introduced Fan Curve settings, its a checkbox in the system settings titled “enable updated fan control”, some people reported higher temps with that enabled, so your crash might be the system powering down to avoid overheating, thats atleast worth a try.


  • Mega Man X, basically finished am just to stupid for Sigma.

    Pokemon Unbound, a Romhack for Pokémon Fire Red, probably my favourite Pokémon game. Enemy Trainers are way better than they were in the official games so some fights actually require thinking.

    Elden Ring, started a new play through for the dlc, have not entered the new area yet, but my last play through is more than a year past and i’ve forgotten way more stuff than i thought so even the old areas feel pretty fresh again. and while i still love the game, but damn it fromsoftware quests should be more than bumping into an npc in random locations where they have some cryptic thing to say and then bumping into them again later for more cryptic stuff.
