Every damn time I visit the server rooms for tunnel infra, I feel like I just entered the backrooms. Endless winding stairs, rooms that appear out of nowhere, doors galore, labels in ancient hiroglyphs and time travel are very common.

counter strike but with v.a.t.s. system from fallout

Fucking hell, enough. Let's see if my 300+ friends are charged enough to remove spam again. Fuckers. Will even make 300 more but have to optimize some things. Current code scales not very well on certain part.

I'm building a multi tenant application, each client can access the application and store that data, the question now is wheter to use one single database for all clients or create a database for each client?

Whats the best approach in this situation

If you're adding a few bullet points to your CV, copilot offers to generate whole paragraphs of brazenly made-up shit.

And everyone seems to be fine with that.

Lets assume you don't know anything about industrial protocols. You are also working for a very high profile and very technically inclined company. Your job is to figure out how to get data over a network interface using a specific standard port. The protocol in use is THE standard for information systems in the industry: opcua.

How much hand holding do you need?

I am actually shocked at the amount of technical ineptitude of the people we have interfaced with. How did they get in the door?

When I first started out in my industrial controls career I just read whatever manuals and websites I could find. Do people not do that anymore?

I want to scream: RTFM Mother Fucker!

It’s been two months, and my last two “high-priority, drop everything and work on this!” tickets are *still* in code review.

I finished another ticket, “semi-high-priority” this time… whatever that means. It’s been sitting in data security review for a week and a half. I just convinced someone to do a code review on it.

In our virtual standup today, we all have our updates, and the boss replied to all of us with this fancy animated “ty” reaction. I got a 👍🏻 instead. So minor, but feels very off.

My “company AI hackathon” idea got co-opted by someone else (on the security team), changed into a security-related project instead, and I got put on his hackathon team instead of the other way around.

Kinda feeling unwanted lately.

Here’s why I pirate music:
1. 90% of my playlist is made by dead people. I’ll never pay for anything whose creator is dead.
2. 9% of the music I listen to is very obscure — it’s not on streaming services. There is no way to contact creators, let alone pay them.
3. The remaining 1% I bought directly from creators on Bandcamp or elsewhere.

Also, when I used Apple Music, at all times many of the songs in my library were unavailable in my region. Songs pop in and out of this state based on some ongoing, never ending legal BS perpetrated by those who had no hand in creating the music itself. Miss me with that shit. I want my entire library available to me at all times.

Piratesoftware's "2D Raytracing" code is just shitty radial light diffusion with collision checks. The worst part is he's individually checking each pixel and manually adjusting the lighting pixel by pixel😭 🙏

Does anyone else feel like Piratesoftware's content is just dedicated to people starting out with coding and game dev? Should this piece of shit be the person these newbie devs look up to? What a fucktard. This is the dude who has "DECADES OF INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE" hacking windmills and sending emails like "please let me hack you" in blizzard

Bugger me that's a big turtle.

This is so true. A month or two goes by and it is like learning certain pieces of code over again.

Crocheted a hand puppet. Just because.

I'm a slow developer because i try to think things through before i start coding and end up not doing anything or taking a long time to do simple things.

I dislike just jumping in and writing code because I end up not understanding why things work

@retoor account wiped and spamming comments, what's this about?

Sprint planning, we spot a risk for one of the stories: An old client wants a new feature that relies on a third-party component that has not been included in our integration tests for the last 2 years.

The risk: It's probably not compatible with the new version of our system, if that's true, we'll need to make changes to our system before starting to work on the new feature, and setup integration testing.

Management: - Are you sure it's not compatible anymore?
Me: - No, we would need to bring both systems up and test if they work, there's no automation for that right now.
Mangement: - If you have not checked it's not a risk.
Me: (o_O) ? Whatever, I've warned you.

2 Days later: Our system does not work with this third-party system anymore, we can't finish the feature this sprint.

Management: (☉_☉)

DOM custom events, and the Node.JS Event class are both so easy to work with and intuitive. Why doesn't JavaScript have native events? It was literally made for UI.

Also: I asked ChatGPT this exact thing before I posted because I had a sneaaaaking suspicion AND I WAS RIGHT. He called it a fuckin quirk.

ChatGPT is a 14 year old that just learned a new word and won't stop using it.

Am I going nuts or have comments and votes been restored?

aaaaaand it's back

Didn't even take a day and people were already posting melodramatic goodbye posts lul

Reading today's feed has been a hilarious roller coaster ride. Was a bit worried there for a second 😅

Plot twist: @dfox disabled comments to let us catch a break from @jestdotty’s ramblings under every single post.

Sudden urge to design my own programming language. Specifically built for concurrency. I really like the async/promise style stuff but I always think it's a pain to put together. Why not make the "putting it together" bit the languages job.

Medium is a machine, albeit a broken machine, that somehow bot farmers manage to get the most shitty click bait titles up... and the content of said shitty articles (if you can even call it 'content' i.e. two sentence recycled slop designed for those with single digit to negative IQ) is even worse...

Dev.to has become a laundry list of "(X fucking shitting things that Y developers didn't know with Z) - I swear browsing yesterday I saw literally the SAME LLM shitted template like ("Here's 9 things that you NEED to learn in 2025) - they even both used the number 9... fucking christ

Reddit... not even an possible way to even get a foot in there, I don't even understand that platform...

And, I can't believe I'm saying this, but Hacker News is quickly reaching the same level too - just filled with clowns who don't even know what LLMs are, or what even fucking copilot agent mode is - and keep in mind these are the guys who are supposed to be making 300K a year because they are the "leaders in tech"? fuck off

I'm quite close to just quitting it all entirely, even you guys (sadly)... I haven't been on in forever but I can imagine the type of bigbrains who have since come and gone in my absence here...

I wanted to stake my claim and make my living here... but currently, if the internet isn't 'bad' enough since say 2015/2016 - it's going to get AT LEAST 100x worse - every platform has their fucking dumb ass social quirks and the moment you don't conform you're an outcast - if you can even make sense of why certain articles get more traffic than others in the first place. fucking backwards ass idiot machine, I swear

I'm gonna go have fun in the real world for the foreseeable future, have fun trying to 'make it' in this cesspool. jfc

javascript is a dogshit language

typescript makes a valiant attempt to make it better but it's contrived on top of a rocky foundation so it can't quite get there unfortunately

yes i am trash at programming and appreciate strongly typed languages for any heavy duty work, in most cases those languages designed for it from the ground up, don't feel as frustrating to deal with
