Been busting my ass on this huge-ass project since fucking March. I was ready to roll out the final solution into production today on a 70-something node cluster. The final testing broke cos the motherfucking biz professor that gave me the data didn't format his fucking files properly.

Goddamned MBAs!

Man, we had this project ready to go live today on a 70-node cluster, but some IT mother fucker couldn't format the data correctly. What do we pay those guys for? We should outsource them.

God-damned American IT fucks.

Unfortunate choice of words there.

I noticed that & was going to change it when I posted, but I think something shiny caught my eye & distracted me.

Technically speaking, I am paid by the hour, but goddamn, this is more code I gotta write which takes more time. I wanna finish this fucker & I just keep finding one weird-ass convention after another.
