The Caps Lock Confession

Content I heard of a guy who put a js function in every piece of spec workcompetition work he did. For every day after full payment was due, the function would lower the opacity of body by 1. As soon as full payment was given, he'd remove the function. If the client paid in full and on time, everything was fine, if they did not, their site would slowly fade away over the course of a few months. edit: Here's the code: var due new Date('2020-01-01'): var today new Date(); var daydiff Math.ceil((due.getTime() - today. getTime()) 86400000); var opacity daydiff 0 ? (100 daydiff) 100 : 1; document.querySelector ("body").style.opacity opacity; Give Award Share Report Save

The recruiter promised you a tech paradise of Python, C++, SQL, and embedded systems. Six months later, you're a broken shell of a human manually copying data between Excel sheets. The thousand-yard stare says it all. Your CS degree is collecting dust while you're becoming a human VLOOKUP function.

Behold! The most accurate depiction of development reality ever drawn by human hands! On the left, your code change workflow - majestic, detailed, robust like a thoroughbred horse ready for battle. And then there's your database change workflow - a pathetic stick figure abomination that looks like it was drawn by a caffeinated toddler with a crayon. We spend YEARS perfecting our code deployment pipelines with tests, CI/CD, and version control while our database migrations are basically "run this SQL and pray to the data gods it doesn't destroy production." The AUDACITY of us calling ourselves professionals while treating our precious data like this! 💀

When someone asks about the "perfect date," most people think romance, but developers think ISO 8601! The responder skipped candlelit dinners and went straight for DD/MM/YYYY formatting—because nothing says "I'm a programmer" like standardizing timestamp formats. The date format wars are real and brutal in codebases worldwide. MM/DD/YYYY fans are typing angry comments right now, while ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD) enthusiasts are smugly nodding in their ergonomic chairs. The perfect relationship? One where you both agree on date formatting conventions.
