I dont complain, I write constructive comments and useful bug reports.

So good I got invited several times to closed beta by developers who really appreciated the effort.

I am pretty good at flushing out all memories of my work during weekends these day, so that’s why I have great comments for such things.

(how do I know they are great? I got colleagues thanking me for the helpful comments. How fucking often has that happened to you in your career?)

In the spirit of the joke, it would be a Nugget that does absolutely everything you need and then some, used to be free, and since version 4.5 has changed license and now requires a 399$ annual fee per dev, which of course your employer positively refuse to invest in when there are so many other options available for free!

What we need is to gather a group of specialists into a task force to address the problem in a more efficient manner. Let’s have a meeting about who to put on that team!

Holy shit, it’s been a few years since I haven’t seen these mentioned but I do not miss it.

Pointer to pointer is fairly common stuff once you get serious with C++ but I’ve no idea what this abomination is supposed to even be, haha!

But are you as ashamed as Shinji, is what I wonder. I can’t believe I got the ref, though. I’m not even a fan of the show but that scene was so out of nowhere… I guess it did mark me.

Yes! That’s what I usually do as well. Unless there is some house specialty I’ve been recommended and I came for, I will try a “reference dish” to get a baseline.

Unless you bought something, then you get the exact item in your ads too. Because hey, we know you liked that book! Why don’t you want another copy of it, uh?

I love that my kids actually do not do that and stick stuff anywhere they can. With age they understand some surfaces are off limits so as to not damage them, but my windows and light switches never stood a chance…

You ever heard of the snip? Because that’s what I think they’re hinting at.

Well, Israel and Russia are trying to claim some room in that space, but yeah, it’s still probably “most of them”.

Hopefully. Anyone with braincells would have realized that a long time ago…

I just describe it as “bilingual level”, because fluent is often used but can represent a range of levels depending on how demanding you are.

For me, fluent is what I’d describe someone who’s studied well and can live only speaking the target language. They may have a crappy accent, make mistakes but they know they can express their ideas and be understood and generally don’t search for words.

I’d use “native level”, but that can be a bit misleading too.

And so, that’s why we have exams/diploma with levels and such.
If someone tells you they have a C2 level diploma in French, I assure you that their command of French is worthy of respect even for a native French person.

If I tell you I have HSK3/4 even in Chinese, you know I’m nowhere near fluency, despite how well I can fake it with what little I do know! :P

Left the --hardcore compile option on. Easy mistake.

I once landed a job at a small company doing a software for medical analysis labs all over the country. Software had been around for over ten years at this point. They had no source control. Nothing. Absolute nightmare.
They were literally starting to use source control when I arrived.
In 2015.

Or Jazz RTC. That one was fun.

Krita is fucking slow though :/

Wait wait wait… RiF ain’t dead?!

Probably the reference manual for HR departments everywhere…
