I work with idiots.

That is all.

Mind Blown...

So I was in a meeting with another dev talking to a customer. He instructed the customer to open a command prompt in Windows. Then to use the SSH command. In my mind I was assuming he had told the client to install SSH beforehand. Later I started thinking about it and did a search. Apparently Windows 10/11 have a version of OpenSSH installed by default. I had used Windows 7 in the past and always installed git shell to get this. So in my Windows 10 I did the same thing. git shell also supports aliases and other nice *nix like scripting features. So it is always a win.

So hear I am realizing SSH is installed by default on newer windows systems. Like damn, I never thought I would see the day. I think I still prefer git shell, but having SSH by default is nice to know. I know they got the subsystem shit to get Linux. But not everyone wants or needs that.

I probably should learn what is in Windows these days. lol. I mean, besides malware.

All countries should agree to destroy all bombs and guns.

I'm looking for a decent ai model that can do image detection, classification, whatever so I can organize the GBs of memes I've collected. I want to do this all locally if possible.

New baby girl 🥰

Worryingly, at 4:04pm.

I just listened to the devops at my new place recite a strategy that I recognised to be git flow. I surprisingly wasn't traumatised or suffer the ptsd I have at the sound or sight of SLACK and Microsoft teams, despite using them roughly within the same era

For some reason, the instructions for git flow now sound straightforward:

Pull from staging. Checkout to a fresh branch on your local. Push there. Once approved, merge to staging or send a pull request to staging

But slack and teams are an indication that the gig/position is going to hit the rocks soonest. Has happened more than once, it just makes me sick now. The beep of their notifications, their ui, their stupid rules and regulations why it doesn't work on the browser but want me to install their dumb apps on my phone (even if you use desktop mode)

You only appreciate the present when it becomes the past.

Here’s to a better 2025!

happy new year 2025! 🎇🎆

Christians are the most annoying people on the planet

please stop

It's not the "age of AI" you dissecated nutsack munching buffoon, you could lick and suckle my delicious tits with that grandiose old tongue you have, if only it wasn't so profoundly infected with feces of every consistency and color.

Your word, for the two shits it's worth, is still better spent elsewhere than promoting falsehood, giving importance to that which has none, or spreading the belief that a demonstrably unscalable approach still has, somehow, room to grow. It's no fucking s*ndrome but full on imp*sterhood, truly a grand fellowship of pauseless jackoffs.

This is it -- a glorified, disobedient, largely unpredictable autocomplete. A probabilistic bullshit machine. It wouldn't be able to replace you, if only you weren't so fucking stupid.

And yes, I *am* contradicting myself by addressing the incredibly cost inefficient overclocked melting minerstack in the room, but I can hardly make the point without doing it, so shush.

Back to the stone age with this shit. Now pass the fucking joint.

"yo would you please review when you have some time?"

Hey, @dfox

Is there anything we can do to help?
We miss you, and we want to keep devRant alive too.

ChatGPT seems to have shat the bed.

I decided to get over my pride and just start paying for assets that I don't have the skill, time, or patience to make myself and I have never been more productive or creatively fruitful.

It frees me up to do the stuff I can do instead of spinning my wheels doing the stuff I wish I could do.

love it when people rage quit when you fix the tech debt problem they created because they think the fix is too stupid 🤣BYEEEEE!

This guy told me that I was unprofessional because I called him reckless.
He thought that reckless is unprofessional word?!

Are you fucking kidding me?! 🤬

I was just pointing out his recklessness of wanting to delete files in our shared platform without permission from the owners.
These files may be important and he only gave us 1h to back it up. He's the one being unprofessional.🤪

Anyhow, this is not the first time I have had a fight with him, and certainly won't be the last.

Adobe fucked up

Spending more time debugging a language than actually writing code

Wow.. back from a two week holiday and feeling absolutely no drive to start work, no motivation to attack anything.

That's the effect of being surrounded by a couple of toxic colleagues for the past 9 months.

Todays rant is thanks to GoDaddy.

Thanks for parking our 9+ year old domain because of payment 'issues' without any warning.

Fuck you, GoDaddy.

Today I have no meetings! 🎉🍾

My TEN YEAR OLD twin girls came to me with a TIMESHEET and PIE CHARTS to explain to me why "Our household would benefiter (sic) a Nintendo Switch".

They... actually did what for an intern would be a passable data storytelling job (orthographic errors aside).
They explained how they would share the videogame between themselves (because it is not allowed at their school, not that we would let them bring it there anyway) in a colorful timesheet spanning four days a week.
They even put a pie chart showing how most of the time nobody will be using it.

I feel at the same time immensely proud, scared, and a wee bit freaked out that they came with all that to me but with their mother they just talked. Do I seem so distant that they feel they can't convince me without data? I gotta watch out for using work jargon at home.

Anyway, first "interns" that I have ever seen using a pie chart with the appropriate number of classes (even if highly biased).

You know, having covid [ie self-isolation] has its plus side. I am now getting a lot more alone-time!

I applied for four jobs today, including GitHub. I feel kinda proud of myself.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

One unfortunate thing I have realized about being a human is that socialization is necessary in order to excel in the long term

excuse me what

Apparently I got promoted again
