  • Ok, opposite take.

    Somebody with business knowledge with just enough technical Excel knowledge to cobble together a 5000 lines monstrosity of unreadable, unmaintainable python+pandas workbook that needs 2 painful hours of single-threaded processing time each run, with zero understanding of general development best practices, technical or organizational constraints, who asks us tu put their shitstain straight in production today because our fucking moron of a manager told them so.

    Said shitstain could have been replaced by a 2h workshop and a couple of sql queries.

    Said shitstain crashed almost daily in production. The running costs alone would have been offset in a month by a 1 week refacto.

    Fuck this place. I’m glad I left before becoming insane.


  • Our wedding was under 5k, excluding dress and suit. Immediate family and close friends only, less than 40 people. Major expenses were the photographer, food and booze. We rented a cheap, small place in the countryside, we planned and did everything else ourselves, having a kanban board in the kitchen for a year was fun! My wife even did the cakes herself because she’s an amazing amateur pastry chef. No DJ, but I spent months on and off curating a playlist with a good flow and steadily increasing intensity.

    It was the perfect wedding. Huge amount of work but 100% worth it.
