This[^] seems like a good job, but I bet Nagy's already applied.

I am by no means a UX expert. I've taken some training, but I'm not really a UX'er.
If I can find a job writing utility code/libraries I'd be more than happy.

It's pretty frustrating that you can't keep them from harassing you when you don't want a job, but then you can't get them to answer your emails when you are actually looking. They take your resume, tell you about a few options, and then you never hear from them again.
I can totally relate to that - indeed some of 'em risk to need an update on their business card to headless hunter...

Hang in there loctrice, something will present itself to you, soon enough. Most of us, not all, have been where you are at; it gets better.

Not quite. As a left-hander I'm offended his joke implied that only right-handed people can throw butter.

Easy trigger. We're the only one's in our right mind.

I have to admit, I am tired of these April fools gags now that so many people do them.
Or, maybe I'm just a bit cranky today.

One of the games I play recently suffered a disastrous bug release to production yesterday. Fortunately the developer already has published an incident report[^] on what went wrong and how they intend to prevent future recurrences:
Quote: ...
During the week of March 23rd, one of our senior gameplay programmers was performing a routine refactor on our core skill code. In preparation for our upcoming expansion, changes were made to the functionality of Trigger Gems. The goal of the refactor was to improve the reliability of the gems that trigger spells on various conditions - Cast on Death, Cast When Damage Taken, etc. During this process, the names of the gems were entered by hand. Unfortunately, due to a combination of tiredness and the programmer's previously undiagnosed Toxoplasmosis infection, the word "Cast" was entered as "Cats" for these gems.
Unbeknownst to the programmer, the consequences of this small typo were severe[^].
This change was deployed to our production realm at 10:05am on Wednesday, April 1 (NZ time) as part of the 1.3.1g point release. Players reported that the Cats Trigger Gems now spawned black cats when their conditions were met. Cats When Damage Taken suddenly started creating cats in addition to endurance charges. A feline army mourned the passing of Hardcore Exiles who used the popular Cats on Death build. Needless to say, these new gems became a powerful combo with Chance to Flea.
...
In light of the fact that typos can summon animals from nowhere, we will be dramatically changing our development methodologies. Not only must programmers now copy/paste existing game terms (to avoid typographical errors), but we will be improving our code testing framework to detect the accidental introduction of animal names into the game
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Priceless. I deal with the horde of cats plague every morning during breakfast, but at least not usually when playing Guild Wars 
According to my calculations, I should be able to retire about 5 years after I die.

That's funny haha. I remember at one of my previous companies, spme guy in charge of business reports and such frequently spelled "Count" without the letter "o".

Some former programmer of our application had the idea to abbreviate the term "analyze" in various variable names in an unfortunate way. Luckily these variables hide away in some core functions and don't cause any embarassing imagery in the GUI 
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)
