I thought I was gonna have that last week. Walking a kilometer in ski shoes + 4 pair of skis + 17°C has to be some sort of personal record for me. Hopefully never again.

Oh thank fuck, I’m not alone!

Un animal de bât is indeed a pack saddle animal, and bâtard is indeed a bastard so that’s pretty cool. Never realised the connection! -ard in French is also often a negative suffix, like connard which would be a… “cuntard” if you will.
-asse is the feminine variant, although there are inconsistencies, such as pétard / pétasse which are probably related but one is a firecracker, while the other is a tart (the lady kind)

Rude language is always so much fun!

Seriously, I was new to frontend and using jQueryUI back then and it took me like a few seconds to lookup the term and parameter so my autocompletes wouldn’t DoS my backend. I’m amazed to see shit like this in prod.

Well, nobody is turning back to rescue them these days, so they better be careful.

Oh dear. I may have done that a few times…

Same. And it sounded so silly I could imagine the look of hatred. But this explanation makes more sense.

Maybe a carton of eggs, even?

Water. Lots of it.

It’s funny to read the reactions and the people not understanding that programming questions are not enough to judge you. We need people with functioning brains and that usually means problem solving skills. And sometimes the problems are fucking idiotic! Nobody cares about the light switches. We want to see how you think. We want people who don’t give up if they can’t look it up.

You think you’re hot shit because you learnt the latest trendy language? I’ve wasted entire days with people like that because they couldn’t be fucking arsed reading error messages and figuring things out by themselves.

In my experience things are fine while you work in a single environment, or you have control over the entire pipeline of data. Things quickly turn into a story from the Bible when different systems start trying to communicate.
