@HardwareGeek That's cute that you ignore that you don't have a fixed IP.

Yes, but, that's not the question.

Isn't delay-induced frustration one of your kinks?
It's probably easier to list my non-kinks.
*shudders* That brings up echoes of a time when after lengthy discussion of what the client wanted in a report, they literally said, "Give me everything. It's easier to tell you what I don't want."

My IPv4 address hasn't changed in perhaps three years. I guess they ran out of them and didn't want to capriciously change it on me.
My IPv6 on the other hand... Still getting used to my internal machines needing to be specified because NAT is essentially not a thing in IPv6 anymore... And also they change just because my router was rebooted.

Well then you can say "It's easier for me to tell me which of your money I don't want.".

Seems like a screenshot of some sort of web browser.

It works. I wish it worked on my tablet too, which is where I really have too many tabs. (I have too many windows on my desktop…)

A popup about a feature that certain other browsers had a decade ago?

We have a QA tester who keeps opening bugs about our website that are just variations on "I don't know how to use a web browser."
I'd be annoyed if I was a developer on this project.

Confession: I'm secretly loving how much this project has divebombed since they pulled me away from it. I'm flattered that everybody on the old team wants me back.

A little fed up with some of this. Tell me again, whose software can run on a P4-era desktop, didn't cost $200M+ to develop, and wasn't a recurring feature in the "look what government fucked up this time" section of the newspaper?

There are thousands of DOS applications. And then the script kiddies came...

@Tsaukpaetra It really irks me that I had to hear about how my software engineering degree wasn't real engineering and every step towards "real" engineering has destroyed the readability of code, usability of interfaces, reliability of error reporting, and performance of applications in general.

I was thinking primarily of off-shore developers in low-cost-of-labor areas, but of course there are plenty of similarly competent developers in the US. So, your first version would come closest to what I was thinking of.

?
If you mean the evolution of IT (as opposed to actual computer science), the steps have been going away from real engineering. Things like
"let's make it up as we go along"the Agile Methodology™ and"proper design is hard, let's go shopping!"NodeJS would be non-starters in any serious engineering field.

Yes, they totally brought the unreliability of ship first test later from software engineering to real engineering. Much wow, so disruptive. Might explain why they’re expected to take over the whole world. At least by the traders, looking at their market cap that’s higher than all other car manufacturers, even those that sell more than 3 cars a year.
