  • The last job I applied for appeared very suddenly on LinkedIn on a Saturday. it was for a company I had no idea even hired software developers. I threw my CV at it, ranted in one of the question boxes about how using MVC as an example of a design pattern is a bit odd because it’s more of an architectural pattern, and that CQRS sounds good on paper but everyone in the team has to know it or it falls apart. By the end of the week, the ad was down, I had an interview scheduled and after a technical interview I had a job offer. This was… About 2 years ago.


  • I hate cookie banners because UX keep going “We keep getting holes in our analytics!” and blaming me for it. I understand the whole “We want to see at what point people are dropping out of the login process so we can make it easier for them to complete the journey” but it’s still fucking annoying when they complain about analytics drops when our users are naturally very privacy focused and I can’t control whether they deny cookies or not!

    There might be ways of tracking without using cookies, but I’m apparently not allowed to use those because the GA is controlled by someone other than me.






  • You have 4 in your library, but only 1 is installed; it’s Call of Duty. Since there’s no need for physical media anymore, the footprint of games has ballooned to the point where if you want to install CoD, it’s going to cost you 2TB of storage. They threw in 8k textures just for the 0.0001% of players that actually have an 8k TV, and there are a lot of textures since the Big Chungus update which introduced 255 different coloured Chungus textures for every weapon and weapon attachment combination in the game.
