Why does the girl in the Google Meet permission dialog have anal beads for hair?

Missing a meeting because I was reading devRant. Worth it.

So I have heard that some neuroscientists think brain function might be operating on a quantum level. I also know we are inching closer to quantum computing.

Does this mean as these two sciences converge we may develop consciousness transfer when they do?

Today I completed a childhood goal. Finished Time Crisis II

Yes, i like to rant.
Yes I confirm this:

Yet they produce bold statements about AI being in the 50 top programmers and shit.

LMAO

I tried vscode copilot insider both normal and with agents up to o3-mini and all other models (gemini, claude, etc)

I just had to do 2 things:

1) Custom angular table component which follows usual angular standards and custom columns are available (button columns, date columns etc). Asked to add an accordion column and test it in a component.
Given other samples from my code and internet.

Totally fuck up. Column never appeared and never worked. Tried to refine prompt and context 10 times each model. Nothing. it just spits shit in the chat console and tries to do backflips in resoning (agent mode) and also in edit mode.

Sometimes it even gets stuck and just goes into edit mode and refuses to modify files and just spits the code in the chat LMAO and I have to reboot vscode to make it work again.

2) Tried some unit tests with jest, given PLENTY of samples of working tests from my code.
Told it to strictly adhere to every syntax, rule and detail it sees in my tests.
Yet it adds unwanted imports, fucks up stuff and invent things.

what a delusional shit

I literally said to myself: "Sigh, I want to believe this shit will relief me from the unbearable pain of dealing with this shit angular code and this utter shit jest crap idiotic framework for testing.
I will allow myself 2 days to waste time on this retarded shit".

2 days wasted, ai = useless and bug shit.

Heck at some point i thought I was unable to write prompts and let another ai write my prompts for me to feed into copilot, but it didn't change anything.
I read an article that said you shouldn't talk "robotic" to ai and you get 10x results and i tried to talk to it like i was explaining to a colleague, then to a kid. Nothing.

Again work is safe. They are years away from making anything really replacing any human programmer with decent experience.

I got pushed into coding in React by my client. They're paying me extremely nicely so I couldn't turn the offer away.

Next up is going to be FastAPI which I assume it's Python???? I haven't looked into it yet.

Guess I'm going from Laravel/NodeJS/MySQL stack to Python/React/PostgreSQL stack now.

I'll make sure to document my learning journey here.

I really want this whole industry to die. I want it to happen from the bottom of my soul!

Their whole job ad was about web technologies where they were asking for a 7-10 years Symfony developer.

One would think being a programmer for 10 years should superseed your shitty LLM prompt crafting requirements.

Truly, there never was a better time for global EMP to happen..

And now, to nobody surprise, time to work again with Angular; all fun and games, until observables join the party.

RXJS IS RETARDED

FUCK YOUR GLORIFIED EVENT EMITTER, FUCK YOUR REACTIVE PROGRAMMING PARADIGM, FUCK YOUR HALF BOTCHED ATTEMPT AT REINVENTING THE OPERATORS I GET FOR FREE FROM ANY LANGUAGE.

They sell billions of prozac pills everyday. Prozac is well-known for increasing suicidal ideation either at the start or at the end.

There are LSD analog who does not produce any psycho-active effect but increase neuroplasticity (building new neurones, new connection and thus new coping mechanisms) and increase moods.

If these idiots didn't forbid drugs even for scientists we would have solved depression by now.

Jackson JSON parser can be a pain in the ass sometimes.
Like, bro, I don't want you to pollute my JSON when saving into Redis. Because now the frontend clients suddenly don't understand the schema because it's riddled with @class and type definitions everywhere.
You have to perform dark magic to get this thing to work automatically with Spring Boot caching.
I've had to implement my own custom serializer and deserializer after wasting who knows how many hours on this.
Shit like this is why I tend to roll my own implementation for many things at the slightest hint that a library isn't flexible.

I have been told to create smaller PRs, so now every big PR has a few other smaller ones associated. Hope my manager will be happy.

Did anyone here use .NET AOT/Native?
since it isnt CLR/VM dependent, theoretically it should be more performant, even if with a few limitations

my "Even if 5% perf increase, it's worth a code-refactor" senses are tingling 💀 someone give me a push to take the plunge

You'd think that after doing this for 8 years I would've gotten better at estimates...

Postman is shit, alternatives?

Recently discovered that Postman is now dead shit and its devs are fuckers that now made their shit a payware.

https://blog.postman.com/announcing...

The solution is to use latest normal version https://github.com/postmanlabs/...

Or get an alternative. Are there any good ones?

Wasn't yesterday Jan 1st? Why is time speedrunning jfc.

Drinking gluhwein 9:00 in the morning on a Wednesday. It's snows outside and I have special snow in my stash. This will be a fun day. Isn't life beautiful?

Edit: oh f, it's Tuesday. As you can see, very relaxed.

TeamLeader2: Mister IHateForALiving, client is reporting a bug, we need you to check out what is happening
IHateForALiving: I'm on it, anything I should know before I start?
TeamLeader2: just check the logs, they should tell you pretty much everything you need to know

The logs:

In CSS, never ever enlarge anything by hover. There will exist a set of cursed cursor positions somewhere on the edge of fully zoomed out and fully zoomed in states, which will make your UI element twitch between two states at 60+ FPS.

If you want this effect, wrap the element you want to enlarge in a wrapper whose size won't change. Add :hover state on the wrapper, not the element, and change the element in that selector. It will make the curse go away.

wrong:
.zoom:hover { transform: scale(1.1) }

right:
.zoom-wrapper:hover .zoom { transform: scale(1.1) }

I have noticed that most of the mentally ill posts on here are from Javascript devs.

Jira has its own query language called JQL. Also, Jira is Turing-complete.
Have a nice day!

Devrant servers are still running? Oh man it's been a while

You should build your next project in G

Some data scientists are like fucking first year baby devs and I've just got to try to be nice and hold their hand and not scream....

I found my favorite LLM I guess, it says whatever you ask it. But that first sentence, wtf :P

He's gone too far!!

Questions in job applications have become a fucking joke.

I'm done with them, from now on to stupid questions I'm only answering in same fashion.

Emailed a few recruiters last week. More or less immediately started getting a load of casino spam.

Clearly this is just a coincidence and that reputation for being a sleazy bunch of pimps is entirely undeserved.

So the people who gave root access to clowdstrike and broke half of the world's computers are gonna operate the three miles island nuclear plant?

What could go wrong, right?

I'm a sick to fucking death of reading 'documentation' by developers who assume you know everything they did at the time of writing and so leave out 90% of the context that would make the documentation make any sense.

Listen to me. If you are writing instructions on how to do something you have 2 options.

1. Write steps that are so detailed a person who has never touched the system could do them
2. Give enough information for a person who has never touched the system to work it out for themselves.

NOT. LET ME REPEAT MYSELF. NOT: 3. Give some half assed info that assumes you had already been working on the system and practically knew everything anyway.

If I had already been working in this area I WOULDNT NEED THE FUCKING DOCUMENTATION TO BEGIN WITH.
