Guys I'm launching a retired dev camps. Let's just pool a few thousand each, buy a piece of land and a couple of tipi in spain near the surf spot, grow weed and do contract jobs and finally enjoy life.

The English Wikipedia's article on "Ostrich" has "Not to be confused with Osterreich" written on top :D
Americans, am I right?

A shout out to those considering deleting their dR account [esp. old timers here] and still on the fence. If you can -- don't.

If you're an old timer here, chances are you actually dev-ranted about real dev issues and possibly posted a solution found after all the frustration.

If you delete your acc, all these posts will disappear. Leave them be. Let them be a contribution to the community, to your fellow devs.

If this platform is no longer worth your time [can't blame you, really], you can simply log out and not come back here :)

It's only 11am and today is already cancer

I've had to create a very simple frontend feature connected to an API. That part works flawlessly but we have rewritten a bunch of code in the system for a certain hardware device.

Now the person that was working on the backend just said today he has no device to test it on lab environment. Neither does any colleague apparently

And guess who got a meeting with the CEO, COO, sales people and the project manager for a demo of that said feature :D

nee rule in office: if you are taking leave on a wfo day, you must come to work on wfh day in the same week. even if your whole team is working remotely.

wtf!?
I am being punished to take an emergency leave because i was in a er room taking breaths off an Oxygen cylinder?

what is the point of this rule? just day Directly that its 5 days a week. why even give a fake illusion of 3 days office

if i try to reject this rule, i need to take double leaves... leave on wfo as well on wfh day

i am tired of being in such an exploiting company. If only my country wasn't in the middle of war and I wasn't getting any worse in terms of health, i would have quit even without a job offer in hand

Hi folks of Devrant,

I’m looking for a remote job.
I’ve built multiple products over 10 years in startups and have skills in C#, Java, AWS, and SQL.

I’d appreciate any referrals if you know someone hiring.

Not sure if posts like this are allowed. I'll delete if it breaks the rules.

Cotton in German is Baumwolle, which is literally "tree wool".

Just finished Expedition 33. GOTY material for sure. It's easily on my top 5 of all time.

COLLATE in SQL and “collateral damage” are related words

Enter BIOS menu
See the option called something like “ionic capacitor discombobulation”
Click “help” near the option to learn what the hell that is
“Enables or disables ionic capacitor discombobulation”
ffs

apparently there's a sect of monks/philosophers that believe if you drink yourself silly on epiphanies you gain enlightenment

so cool

My company: "you don't have a choice what you work on"
My company on legal paperwork: "we've given them choice of what they work on to support and develop them as best as possible"

Both of those are verbatim quotes. I laughed. I mean, I now want to punch someone, but I laughed before the violence.

It's impressive how slow the archive compression/decompression in Windows 11 is slow...

Sun theSun = Sun.newInstance();

String intro = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10};
String chorus = {1,2};

boolean night;

for(int i=0; i<intro.Count; i++) {
Console.WriteLine(intro[i]);

while(!night) {
Thread.Wait(theSun);
}
}

night = true;

chorus.forEach(
Sun.come();
}

int brightestStarOfAll = theSun.MAX_BRIGHTNESS;

theSun.area[brightestStarOfAll].Praise();

Proud owner of a brand new Volkswagen, baked less than a month ago :)))

Lots of touch and tech inside, lots of assisting technologies -- quite a jump from a 2005 Audi a6. You can even track your car in your phone now OOTB :) cool!

At $work, I just learned that a daemon on prod makes an SFTP connection to the same domain every 0.5 to 10 seconds, all day long, every single day. That’s a minimum of 8,640 connections per day!

The senior developer responsible for it had the dev skills of a junior and the management skills of a puppet, but she’s a “disadvantaged minority” and is great at stealing credit and throwing people under the bus. Naturally, she has been given multiple promotions and a team to lead… which she fills exclusively with other Indians, all of them at her skill level or below. (I used to do their code reviews and security reviews.)

When I asked one of the fintech managers (a former dev) about the crazy number of SFTP connections, he said “[Her team] did that intentionally, as it didn’t used to be that way. They must have had a reason” and cut me off.

Okay then.
Not my garden, not my fertilizer.
Just another day weeding the fields in hell.

Shut up dead people !

Fuck typing 😖

uergfhh I just feel irrationally miserable, wttffff

I've been gone a hot minute.

I'm just sharpening sticks to fight in the robo-apocalypse.

John Connors got nothing on pointy sticks.

As a wokoid leftist, I have an easier time than most to debug my code.

You know, coz I like eating bugs.

Shithead manager.

Complaining that I'm a "senior" and he expects more from me (ignore that he's been making that complaint for 3 years and it's only been my job for less than 1)

Now complaining that I'm taking time to teach someone about something that they don't actually need to know.

I'm so fucking done with this job.

telling the health and sanity of a society by if they can still make music or not =-=

like how do you fuck up and release garbage, honestly. might have a good part but it's like... you didn't even see it?

Buuuurnout, the raaadio! I need the muuusic, give me some more! Yeahhhh!

Leg warmers! Jerry curls!
IIIIII want my MTV!

Doo doo doo doow... -going crazy-
Okay, I am officially going to take a break from studying for work outside of work.

pls stop putting talking into music mixes. you're ruining my jive. I don't wanna hear your opinions. just play the math noises

The shortest rant ever that doesn't need any explanation: XCODE

As mentioned in a previous rant, I'm not super happy about available graphical (s)ftp options.

Tried the command line and honestly, it's better than anything else.

The concepts are simple, and the tools are even better IMO. Being able to `put *` from a folder is great.

This really resonated with me. The last job I had before doing my work as a full-time independent freelancer had all sorts of infantilization strategies. Parties, nerf gun wars, big lunch once a week, etc. I'm introverted and all of that stuff sapped my mental energy for the day, so my productivity suffered. It's daycare for adults.
