More like:
"IT people when software people talk about their requirements"

No, we won't whitelist your entire program folder in Endpoint Protection.

[–] Valmond 1 points 14 minutes ago

Ouch yeah that windows endpoint stuff is really rattling though. I get you just can't whitelist some folder without compromising security, but when the "eNdPoInt pRoTeCtIon" just removes dlls and exes you are compiling (and makes your PC crawl) you really hate that shit.

Right click? 40 seconds plz (maybe any of the possible contextual right clicks might be on a virus so lets just check them all once again).

At home I have an old linux pc, and it blows those corpo super pcs out the window.

Rant off :-D

Ah yeah, IT people are chill, always be cool with them is also a good idea, not their fault all this crap exists.

As a software person i have to protest at being called out like this. It's the fucking weekend man...stop picking on me for just one damn day.

No, we can't get gigabit fiber everywhere. No, I don't care if your program needs it. Yes, the laws of physics are laws for a reason. Write more robust code.

[–] Valmond 1 points 21 minutes ago

Gigabit fiber? You're in some posh spot but needs to downgrade for some reason, right?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 minutes ago

Write more robust code.

Sure, I could read a book about best practices and Big O...but...What if we just table the idea for a few iterations of Moore's Law instead?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Yep, unrealistic expectations.

Or "you need a 12th gen i7 to run this thing"... the thing is a glorified Avidemux.

Christ, if you could see the abysmal efficiency of business tier SQL code being churned out in the Lowest Bidder mines overseas...

Using a few terrabytes of memory and a stack of processors as high as my knee so they can recreate Excel in a badly rendered .aspx page built in 2003.
