Can we call it the Trump Recession?

There’s one guy in my department who does all the smart home shit, but I absolutely don’t see the point in it. Didn’t even connect the washing machine to the wi-fi as you can’t set it going without having loaded it first anyway.

I miss the kill frenzies. GTA4 was an absolute nadir of the series feeling like a job rather than fun - I get that they wanted you to to get drunk with Roman to experience the drunk controls and have to stop at the toll-booth like a commuter, but both things quickly become tedious.

What is a “beast mission”?

Edit: The divine beasts. The mission bit totally threw me.

My CV vs whatever the heck turned up to the office this morning.

Somebody who worked here before tried to do functional in C# by passing delegates into methods instead of injecting interfaces into constructors, across hundreds of repositories. This is why clever people should not be allowed to write code.

Climbing a bell isn’t that impressive.

Technically correct, as the request processed successfully and returned the outcome. TBH this is just one reason why HTTP is a bad RPC medium; for some reason we keep reinventing SOAP even though no-one liked it the first time around.

Keep track of the names of collaborators for the trials.

SVN is fine for most corporate workflows. Your project is probably not anything like Linux.

You need a USB C “Power Ctrl+Z” key. Unlike the regular Ctrl+Z key one of these bad boys is capable of reversing edits across system reboots until as far back as when you originally plugged it in.

At uni I did a lot of my Java coursework in notepad, then I’d have to take it into a computer lab on a floppy, tar it and upload it to a unix terminal so it could be emailed to the professor. Java syntax with only the command line compiler is not fun.

“I store my records on vinyl. You’ve probably never heard of them.”

Just one more loan bro…

My delivery manager says he committed to a date. I’m a software engineer - I never commit to anything, and certainly not dates.

“Yeah, I’m into Indie games… you’ve probably never heard of them.”

They forgot the bit where the Waterfall method blew through the budget and deadline about five times over.

Wait, that was the happy bit?

“Never” - You keep using that word. I’m not sure it means what you think it does.

I just kind of knew that, but not sure how.
