390.8 MB worth of app just to change the brightness value of a single non-rgb led in my mouse.

Woke is really a virus. One woke message in the context window of your LLM and the conversation is over. Nothing to discuss anymore. You're getting charged $0.06 per 1,000 tokens for woke lectures, $0.12 per 1,000 tokens for being judged.

Do not use AI services from chutes. I was talking with uncensored dolphin 30b, and not the LLM gave me a lecture, but the PROVIDER. Same for wizard from Microsoft. Microsoft does not filter that LLM but your freaking connection. How a bout that.

In the end i found a very nice solution for my Replika clone,. But shame on them. I really don't understand why they care so much about it. Imagine the AI costs to check every message if they're apropiate.

This tech could've been so much better in better hands. A realistic conversation like you have with dolphin is impossible with openai or the others.

Anyone tried the dobby LLM? What the fuck is that :P

In my current position I basically act as an techlead in a small company handling things from software architecture to functional requirements and dev ops, but also mentoring the developers.
Basically any small tech company where you got one guy running around doing almost all the stuff excluding the actual development (which I still also partially do).

I recently completely bombed an interview for an tech lead role. This was my first interview for an role that wasn't just IC.

I got several feedback points:
- I was too much all over the place
- Was talking too much, not giving them enough room to ask questions
- Didn't ask enough questions
- They didn't find I talked enough about leadership

My previous interviews were just me geeking about tech and this clearly doesn't hit the spot during interviews. I feel like I actually do plenty of the work (and beyond currently) but struggle articulating this in a manner that makes an company interested in my abilities.

So considering above what would be some good resources to learn for me to better communicate based on an non IC role.

I’m so annoyed that the word “throwel” exist but doesn’t even mean a tactical shovel designed to be thrown.

Reactive state tracking in JS frontend frameworks is just ridiculous

This is a language that encourages you to create huge trees of objects but from what I can tell most frameworks have real trouble detecting any change more complex than a direct assignment

Am I missing something? I have a reactive list of objects of which fields get updated. I have no idea how to make that trigger UI updates.... This is just torture

been working in the same company for 7 years, founder removed all our remote flexibility, told us people who dont come to the office can be replaced with AI, we have no excuse to being late to the office, etc...

feeling violated i began applying to other companies, and im very surprised that after 8 years of development experience, many side projects and curious endeavours later, i keep getting rejected or ghosted... wtf is this job market? i used to get interviews at least in almost any company i applied for before...

how tf do you land a new job these days?

What are the opinions on Rust's labelled blocks and break 'label control flow primitive?

Omg i just ate the best kiwi of my life.

How in the ever-god-fearing FUCK am I just now learning about git tag????

Job search is absolutely soul crushing. I can't even.

I love how quietly cloudflare changed their captcha pitch from “stopping bots” to “stopping bad bots”, implying that some bots are good. Their bots that is, and bots of these who pay them I suppose

Quote of our co-founder today: "Recently I've learned we should be doing market research before building something"

Explains why we are so much in the red now...

Kiki, what was your site where you can slice product images for use as app icon / store picture and stuff? I desperately need it.

I remember that site delivering great results. The other sites suck or are paid.

import legacy project on new laptop

some gradle shit is broken and i dont understand why

i dont remember having to deal with it years ago and and i have no idea how to fix

cant see the settings difference between it working on old laptop

I think HR is the first role that could truly be replaced by an LLM.

Want to know a sad story? I had a great idea for an internal application that would optimize a process in the company. My idea gets approved and.. guess what? Later it gets cancelled because Change Management didn't see a reason for me to get API rights on the company pipeline, which was what I needed to get my application going. I pitch my idea and they don't care and shut me down quickly because it's just another ticket they want to close asap.

Another guy in my company, openly incompetent but big buddies with the higher-ups gets his idea approved without effort. They open the doors for him and talk to Change Management to get him in. Then he's seen as Mr. Big Ideas while this guy doesn't even know how to use a terminal (I'm not joking). Even the girls admire him but he's a complete idiot who just smiles a lot.

It's whom you know, apparently. And bureaucracy is a piece of shit. So are cronyism and corruption.

What a time to be alive!

So, I got attacked by a lot of spam-repositories on molodetz. I'm sure it's the same spammer as we have here since the severity. He also mentions me often here on the platform under the account of a spam bot to troll me. Anyway, dear spammer, it took me 2,5 minute to resolve the issue.

Software Development 2025 everyone:

I like rust, but hate the person who came up with wgsl in the webgpu. That person needs a beating for putting web gpu tech decades behind.

Speed, quality, scope. Why managers dont understand that they can pick only two and expect all three?

Gotta say, Arduino IDE is a hobbyware at best, but in my not so humble opinion, is a completely pile of chocolate pudding.

OMG, it can only target one type of hardware at a time. It has to apparently be completely reconfigured when you use different hardware. Libraries and the like that are loaded for one board cannot be loaded and available if you are building for a different board. I mean seriously, what the ... is wrong with these developers.

Imagine if Xcode would allow only one library load for any given hardware target.

💩ware.

Don't get me going with the editor... the inept "debugger" which NEVER works.

They need to fix this hobbyware or shut it down.

Tech is getting lazier. I think it started with showing you countless ads for things you just bought and now it's not bothering to even give good music reccomendations.

We're the problem.

jetbrains there is no situation i want wildcard import (or at the very least the people i work with who know better than i do)

disable that shit by default

A friend of mine asked me to help him develop a simple ios app. After spending few year with lisp Swift looks so syntactically difficult to understand how to write code. I feel I have to learn Swift, SwiftUI and their specifics before.

But preview in XCode is fantastic btw.

intellij why do you no longer have a default sensible junit test runner config out of the box?

fucking project view neeeded to be on

Wtf is up with some education providers? Even the de facto industry leaders have half-assed courses. Not many are super high quality. They sound like they are speaking into a mic, forced to do it. Nothing like YouTube, more like middle-aged, depressed men with no life with no energy. I'd much rather learn elsewhere. This is akin to how some university professors give some lectures. Where are the passionate teachers of our world?

The ones that I enjoyed were: MIT, Harvard and Stanford. Perhaps it has to do with money. lol.

I'm currently exporting the designs & the scrapped iterations i had to make for my job in the past 4 years.

My first boss wanted to have an iteration saved per design and have already multiple 'final' options available per design meeting.

Now my current boss is asking to export them all but the bulk export functionality is broken. Never realised I spend so much time designing this shit application. There are over 16.000 designs to be exported by hand.

They now want to get rid of this tool since nobody else will do designs.

ISP throttlin

I think GDPR is a pain in the ass but my employer has lied to my doctors about my medical information so suddenly I really like GDPR.

Had a dream that some trans girl fell in love with me here on devRant, then sending a picture with abstract schizo graffiti with my name to me
I woke up in search of evidence. Went through my phone, didn’t find where to look to see my browser history. Then, every button in the bottom bar were replaced with small 32x32 px ad. That’s when I knew it was a dream too, a dream within dream
Woke up again. Was teleported to a huge liminal water park that is also a mall, and then I was like wait, it’s a part of kikiverse, so it must be yet another dream layer
Woke up again. Typing this. See ya

Reading google revies of hospitals is one of my pet peeves. Like it is certainly not an indication to the hospitals quality. As there are mostly people reviewing who had a bad experience. Also a lot of hysterical people who are like: "Walked into the ER with minor headache. Was appalled at the wait time and left. Never going back there again. Worst service everrrr" or "The service woman at the front desk could neither give me a precise diagnosis nor where I had to go to get my second lobotomy."
