When Team Lead of Design (HTML) department wins PROGRAMMER OF THE YEAR award annual award of your organization :|

And Sr Tester wins GEEK OF THE YEAR :|

No personal vendetta but what the fuck :/

Sometimes it's better to burn a bridge so you don't even think about crossing it in the future.

See, I left a company some years ago because I didn't see my future in it and all management combined had a collective intelligence of a chicken.
However, I got a call from them a couple of months ago asking me if I could return. The salary was double and the working arrangement seemed fine. On paper. WFH. Flexibile hours...
Since I actually liked the project itself for its technical challenge, I accepted the return offer. What a bad idea that was.

Of course, the things that made me leave for the first time had only gotten worse. Bad leadership, idiot developers in team leader positions. Tech debt higher than Mount Everest. Bad infra that makes you want to off yourself every time you work on it. The whole circus.
Seriously, the "senior" team leader will happily merge code that includes assert(true == true), but hold up a well written MR because he has a personal vendetta with the developer.
Personally, I always check him whenever he starts being an ass. But the poor juniors are in hell. They're terrified.
Now I'm leaving again, but this time I've made sure I can't come back.

So without even realizing today is the 5th, I watched V For Vendetta

to whomever it may concern...

if i wanted to do code review keeping in mind how asshole you have been and made it my personal vendetta, i would not review it at all.

i would let you and your shitty code rot in hell.

My manager is still being an asshole to all our customers. I cannot stand him, or his bullshit corrective action/write-up he sent to HR. The entire team is frustrated with him and his personal vendetta against me has caused me to go full force, looking for new works and well as transferring teams within the company. Things are getting politically heated right now and I'm not sure how things will pan out. I wish our old VP of software didn't pass away last month. The new CTO is a total tool and fuckwit. He sees developers as subordinates who must always away managers. He hasn't talked to anyone on the networking team since being hired, or anyone on my team.

Everything hurts. Starting from DevRant preventing me from making separate posts except I wait two hours. I'm infuriated at such a stupid rule like wtf is it supposed to achieve ffs? I'll just merge both rants into this

Next are the discriminatory fucks on reddit. I hate this platform for a number of reasons but the one currently on my nerves right now is the warped stigma against contributions from users with site rep below a certain threshold. How do myopic freaks like this make it to a position of authority?? Being knowledgeable in a given field is not exclusive to reddit users who were able to amass a ton of upvotes. It automatically excludes everyone with potential to stir valuable discourse. Just cuz they're not well liked on the platform

Basically, you earn points on cheap subs, come leverage them on the "prestigious" leagues, where those animals could lynch you. This isn't even hypothetical. Several times, all the visitors on a thread would launch a vendetta on a user (usually the OP), mass downvoting all their content on that thread. They're like wild beasts feasting on carcass

The next group absolutely pissing me off are organisations that use 2fa. How did this crazy design get so popular?? It makes absolutely no sense cuz in the event of losing my device or if the dev to whose device it was tied to leaves, you're fucked. You'll lose all your accounts. You're always calling some colleague holding the phone for codes. You need to snap barcodes on one phone and scan on auth app. Everything about it is so frustrating and painful

I was forced by github to use sms for 2fa. I'm already reluctant about working on this project but I drag myself to the system and try to sign in. Turns out the security conscious dickheads let me view my secret gists without being signed in, but they won't send the 2fa code. I faintly recall a mail that it was getting deprecated. So after what felt like eternity in perdition, I manage to setup the app type 2fa but what if I lose the phone or it's formatted?? I'm locked out! So so stupid. One of my banks sends OTPs to my line. The other doesn't. But a useless organization hosting my OSS that nobody wants to use is bent on ruining my life with their insane security measures. So So daft. What's with the excessive paranoia?? Same goes for facebook. Just send an alert to my mail if ip or location is suspicious and I'll click a confirmation mail. What if my screen is bad and I'm trying to login on another device?? How don't they think of all this before tying authentication to a physical device for christ's sakes?????

And then there's the horrible customers I've been getting on my fledgling business, along with a supplier as well. One requests for location, implying seriousness. Then ghosts. Another one wants to buy a commodity for less than half its price. How do you bargain from 330k to 150k? I rallied around for an alternative at 170k just to make sales. At the end of the day, he only wants the one for 330k. I wish I could take my skin off and black out. I'm so tired and cranky. I woke up so early today to be productive but everything I've met ever since has been nothing but pain and sorrow

when all the code makes no sense at all
