  • My boss is having his wedding tomorrow. He was supposed to start his vacation earlier this week. He definitely showed up to meetings I GUARANTEE he didn't need to be in on the first day he was supposed to be gone. Man, we've been here longer than you. We can handle it. You're awesome, but don't let upper management bully you. Us senior devs sure don't. Fuck em.

  • Fun side story. My first job as a developer, I was working in a small porn company in downtown Chicago. We had just hired a few people, so being the only techy in the company it was on me to order a bunch of hardware from NewEgg.

    It was supposed to be delivered days later. But no, they had an employee, just like a regular dude, hop in his car and deliver the order on the same day. This was probably 2006, so same day delivery way NOT a normal thing.

    I rarely get to tell this story because I don't want people to know I started off my (somewhat long) software engineering career in porn and because who cares about this in today's world.

    However, OP mentioned NewEgg, so it fits here.

  • Wasn't there a Vice series like way back in the day where they'd go spend time with people in remote locations and just see how they lived? Maybe I'm imagining it and it was just about drugs. But, I think that was a thing because I remember thinking it was super interesting.
