I just quit my job. We have a dotnet application running that I didn't write, but I'm the only one who knows a little dotnet, so I took care of it. My handover will be this, or "learn dotnet".

This is gramatically correct in some languages with double negatives, such as Czech.
Yeah, but that's not Czech written there...?
Seems to be a general feature of Slavic languages.
Although it would prolly be "never do not"
I mean, it's grammatically correct right as is. Do not what? never switch off. Ie, you gotta turn it off once in a while. Sounds like most of the piece of shit leaky software I have under my responsability right now...
Double negatives are fun! It's a little weird how, depending on the context and language, they can either be positive or extra-negative. "I don't see nothing!" is often used to mean you can't see anything, the double negatives reinforce each other rather than cancel out into a positive meaning. Similar for "I don't have no ..." or "we don't need no ..."
I don’t see nothing!
Isn't this something that only means so, in the recently developed dialects?
I mean if it were instead, "> I don’t see nothing.", I would understand it as the person is actually seeing something.
Hey, at least you got documentation! That’s more than I got at my last job.
I took over a project recently. I asked for updating instructions... as in "once I make changes, how do I push to prod?"
They gave me instructions on how to update angular and dotnet packages.
Mother FUCKERS.
I spent time digging around the code, setting up my dev env, and then I noticed dev and prod had a slight difference.
"yeah, we gave you the wrong branch"
Fuck.
I had to dig around and find out how they started the docker on prod and then I could replace the .dll and restart the container. It was not fun.
I took over a project recently.
I recommend you give it back to them
No can do. It's for someone who I owe big to, and the company that created the software has gone out of business.
Unless you have a position open for a full stack dev/SDET.
I once took over a project. The guy left in bad terms. Took off with the credentials of his virtual machine, on which was the latest build of the project. Tried to download and build on a different machine. Did not work. Nobody knew how to. Never found out, fuck that noise I left within a month. Oh, and they were starting to use git. Fifteen fucking years, they had been selling their software. No versioning at all.
It is exact opposite of what you think it means the second time, btw.
Play it safe. You never know how long you'll have the chance, so best to switch if off immediately. It's the only way to be sure.
