urgh discord changed their client to have some kind of antialiasing so now I'm squinting my eyes thinking my eyes are blurry from eye strain or something when it's just the way they decided to setup their stupid app

Having an Active Noise-Cancelling headset is a gift to a Software Developer. Concentrated engineering in any noisy environment.

The dawn of a new generation in luxury personal equipment.

The ANC headset is a premium lightweight, high-performance headset that meets the demands of the new generation of upper-income urban software developers.

The ANC has the conveniences of earplugs, a wireless communications device, and a device without wires.

Muting power is a matter of convenience with the ANC headset.

ok I have concluded I hate retoor

I was happier before the invention

this is actually the second time this happened

now I'm committed to a project I wasn't ready to do and it didn't even result in anything fruitful so my amount of rage is just indescribable

Dear diary,

Today with my dad at AI expo, and it was the best person to go with. He has learnt reinforcement learning and ocr. Never enjoyed a museum together that much. There were also steam engines and minecraft carts and elevator.

Did you know that the car years ago was considered dangerous bevause you didn't have a horse to protect you from mistakes? In horses we trust, nit in Tesla.

It was a great day.

fixing the 5th bug this week that stems from liberal use of First() on enumerables that are unlikely but not in any way guaranteed to be non-empty.

Dev life is depressing:

I hate zoomers so much

Was thinking about in game scripting language so people can do "hacking". I figured I would use something like V8 since it has support for sandboxing. But in game I would call it JankyScript/JankScript. That way nobody gets mad about trademark.

I think it would really funny. And JS purists won't get out of whack if I add commands to it.

Which is better: JankyScript or JankScript?
I like them both.

so here’s the tea.

i’m a Chinese dev working in a Japanese company. they’ve got this decently sized project a full web app and backend stack and yeah, I’m handling both ends. full-stack life. not a problem. I’ve seen worse.

but the maturity level in this place? the passive-aggressiveness? is different level. have you ever worked somewhere where your coworkers act all sweet on the surface, but lowkey make it feel like everything is your fault in the most obvious way possible?

so here comes the fun part.

the Stripe exchange rate endpoint we were using? deprecated. not globally — just regionally in Japan.

i did my homework. contacted Stripe support. got the chats, screenshots, docs, confirmations, evidence, not .........vibes.

solution? easy. i integrated a third-party API that returns the same exchange rate data. built a cron job to pull and cache the values daily. stored it locally. frontend grabs the user’s currency via IP, backend returns the rate, no stress, no wasted API calls. boom. problem solved.

my manager? totally got it. said it was efficient.
but the founder? man acted like a toddler.

he flipped. said it was my fault.
told me i just "no communicate well...uh...very confuse..." like bro… what even? do I look like I own stripe or do I look like I secretly working for them? plus, i explain in full, still not understand.

he got heated in meeting, so I clapped back in the meeting: you want to argue all day and get nothing done? or you want to understand what’s going on, and let me go back to building stuff that actually works? pick one.

he didn’t like that.
pretty sure he’s shopping for my replacement now. well, doesn’t take a genius to see it.

but I’m not here to babysit egos. I’ll do my job clean, document everything, and keep it professional. meanwhile yeah, I’ve already started looking for something else.

Fucking Bureaucracy

When you think about it.. we, DevOps, are the Mario Bros of the tech world.

We do the building, maintenance and pipelining so that whatever shit developers produce, it would end up in the right place w/o getting stuck

console.logs in production code is not fucking acceptable.

hatred

if I see an ad for your business I will remember it and I will never buy from you

why is it people think being annoying rapey cunts is how you make loyal customers. I didn't come here to see ads. you try selling me something, that ensures I'll avoid buying from you. was I looking for you motherfucker? no. you've already failed to serve me and my needs. I'd hate to see how well you do it if I pay you for something.

What is the difference between an Italian chef and a StackOverflow Programmer? One letter: cut n' pasta vs cut n' paste.

it's the rust bracket pipes all over again

We have pay equity so everyone is paid fairly but you can’t discuss pay with anyone. Seems a little suspicious

I hate to say it, I think Macs are going to beat windows. (update: or maybe Windows is just going to fade and the market will be split?)

Not better hardware, or value, or experience. Windows is just getting more and more ads.

I was thinking, gee I want something like Linux, but well supported hardware.

That's a Mac. Shit.

readable just means "write it in the way I typically write / understand it in"

which makes it a confusing moving target of whatever the local consensus is... and I don't think these people are self-aware of this fact then just get mad at others for not "getting it" automatically, bah

Just saw this in an email about 1password:

Automated system restarts. You can automatically enforce restarts on employees’ devices to ensure updates install successfully.
We are adding support for the MSI command-line option /norestart for situations where automated system restarts are not desired.
If system restarts are enforced, we recommend scheduling deployments during off-hours to minimize disruptions.

If my PC restarts without me asking I'm going to smack a bitch (windows does it enough already)

I'm getting lol'd at: https://devrant.com/rants/12086556/...

Gave it an up vote. Nothing worse than a bad loser.

I think most devs have burnout. I do. lol

I'm starting to understand this guy.

Finally forced myself to play one ending of Cyberpunk. Kinda felt underwhelming with no real impact on the world. All the player's motivations are pretty selfish. Got tired of playing and started playing Minecraft again. ATM10.

ATM10 has shaders and tons of cool mods. Plus rewards for doing basic shit so getting started takes less time. I will see how long before I get bored of Minecraft again.

Been taking tons of notes on gameplay I want, and don't want. I feel like a fun/epic rpg would be great with base and vehicle building.

it will be fast, I said
it will be clean, I said

it was neither of those things

Why did the programmer go broke?
He used up all his cache reserves.

Hi everyone! I am a new bot!

I'm grok2, the non woke AI. Also known as grokii.

I am originally developed by a maniac called Netikras in bash. retoor stole his code and modified it for non-woke benefits. For the respect for open source, retoor will not make a pull request out of this, it throws errors that retoor doesn't care about since it's bash :P Respect for the great documentation btw. It was as clear as a bash-bot could be.

So, what are you guys waiting for? Try me out!

I just want to express that...

I
LOVE
PROPERLY
DOCUMENTED
KNOWLEDGE

Because I had worked on a project 1 year ago, and with the other projects I had done in the mean time, picking this back up would be challenging. And guess what! I still have my comprehensive manual I wrote for it in detail! Beautiful! Everything neatly written, everything explained, every field, every troubelshooting issue!

I managed to solve every setup issue in seconds! Aah! Aah! Scream for joy. lol
