OK, that white was cocaine. Guaranteed they’re dead.

For the record, I know the pic was from IASIP. OP’s joke was not based on that.

Javascript is basically just C with some syntactical sugar, right? RIGHT?!?

Where is “sleeping 60 hours cat”?

Easy, breezy, beautiful … clever girl.

Yeah, that white was lead powder. Guaranteed they’re dead.

Yeah, 7 seas … at least!

They’re not common at all, but I prefer a desk suspended from the ceiling with chains or whatever - complete and total freedom for the legs.

I remember trying to use one edition of MSDN (MicroSloth Developer Network if I recall correctly) on my laptop a few years ago. Whoever had developed the UI for it had been using a giant monitor because on a small laptop screen the article contents in the right-hand detail panel didn’t word-wrap correctly, so reading the article required constant scrolling left-and-right with the horizontal scroll bar (which sometimes didn’t even show up). For six months I just got in the habit of copying-and-pasting the contents into a simple text editor so that I could actually read the shit normally.

I’ve long advocated making developers use the shittiest equipment and no extra monitors, just to ensure that what we build actually works on most machines. I’m not a monster: the money saved could be used to give developers ACTUAL FUCKING OFFICES.

Home Office Box Office. Kinda catchy acronym.

Do people not aggressively prepare for this all the time?

They do not. People making $150K a year think they will keep making that (and more) for decades to come, and it’s ludicrously easy to spend all that on useless shit. Shit, just drugs alone can take most of that.

What does it matter if it’s a worse product, or barely functional

I spent (wasted) years of my career developing shitty Skype clones for cable companies and ISPs, just so these companies could say they had them on offer even though absolutely nobody ever actually used them. It wasn’t even a case of companies ripping off their customers - it was lower-level managers and vice presidents ripping off their own technically ignorant corporate executives. It was depressing busting my ass on this stuff when I knew it didn’t make any difference whether it worked or not.

I’m a Teamster as a school bus driver. When I first joined the Teamsters, I started making a joke about getting a phone call at midnight to go break some kneecaps down at the docks. One of my more psycho coworkers responded to my joke with a dead serious “I’d like that”. Same dude thinks us bus drivers should carry guns.

Sorry, I meant “motion capture Morgan Freeman”. Harriet Tubman would be CGI of course.

Medieval history especially

At least we have Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

they tend to be great talkers and networkers

This is selling them a bit short. They’re also generally pretty good at raping aspiring actresses.

does “Dr. Kwame Nkrumah” mean anything to you?

C’mon, there are lots of NBA fans outside of the United States.
