This is perfect because it illustrates how rage addicts will go out of their way to get their fix. I just think of them lining up this picture to get as many of the offending rainbows in the picture as possible! Ugh! I hate them so gross! Hmm, if I kind of nestle myself into this pants rack... yeah, I can get those rainbow bottles too...
Man I don't regret leaving this behind at my last job. You start out by doing someone a one-off like "sure I can pull the top 5 promotional GICs broken down by region for your blog article - I love supporting my co-workers!"
Then requests become increasingly esoteric and arcane, and insistent.
You try to build a simple FE to expose the data for them, but you can't get the time approved so you either have to do it with OT or good ol' time theft, and even then there's no replacement for just writing SQL, so you'll always be their silver bullet.
Ah reminds me of the time (back in the LAMP days) when I tried to apply this complicated equation that sales had come up with to our inventory database. This was one of those "just have the junior run it at midnight" type of shops. Anyway, I made a mistake and ended up exactly halving all inventory prices on production. See OP's picture for my face.
In retrospect, I'm thankful for that memory.
Not this particular example, maybe, but the concept of a device remaining usable in failure runs counter to planned obsolescence.
Joke's on you, I have so many abandoned activities, I can just cycle through them
Wait all the time iPhone users have been flexing?
If they'd done this right out of the gate, they would not have nearly the market share they have today, let alone all of the free advertising in the form of guides, courses, Q&As, and general expertise.
It's a classic honeydick.
My sister bought me a bunch of pastries for my birthday, and just left them in my refrigerator. Like seriously a problematic amount of pastries, that I had to schedule my days around. I work from home, and after a while, I just got used to deking into the fridge for a quick pastry. It was ridiculous, but also a lot of fun.
Anyway, when those pastries finally ended, man... the jonesing I felt when I realised I couldn't just reach for a pastry all of a sudden...
rm -rf $STEAM_ROOT/ takes me wayyy back. I remember hearing about that one. It was part of a script that shipped with a Stream installer?
Whatever it was, the bug was that if the env var in that line wasn't defined, it would just rm the actual root. Hilarious if doesn't happen to you!
Oh that's infinitely less disturbing than the images my mind conjured up
Engineer here - we're undervalued too. We just happen to have more clout in the workplace at the moment, and so more individual bargaining power. That can change on a dime, though.
Wow I didn't even know that Amazon owned Whole Food. That's disgusting.
