I fucking hate Figma.

It's primary use case is designing web applications, yet all of its naming conventions are based on SVG.

So you have to fight with designers trying to shoehorn SVG naming conventions into design tokens.

"Stroke" is border. Every time I see this I feel like I'm having a stroke.

"Drop-shadow" is box-shadow. This one really pisses me off because the properties you set for drop shadows are not valid drop shadow filters unless by some miracle the designer didn't discover the spread property. I suppose this doesn't matter because 99% of the time the code will apply a box-shadow anyway.

"Effects". FFS.

Pushed decrypted ansible vault to work repo. Time to cycle some s3 tokens.

Running a special today. My performance at work will be 40% off

Big sigh.

A new low for me, lol.

Beer, weed, good TV show. After 3 hours:

"Damn, I can't follow this show, so complicated. Let's go code a new feature in my app!"

And 1 day later, reviewing the code (because I have no memory of it), it actually works with just 2-3 edits...

methinks communist being the biggest status chasers is not a coincidence

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.

I was wondering, let say a court forces google to be separated from Chrome, shouldn't become it's own independent entity?
Do we really want OpenAI, Yahoo, Meta, or any of those big corporate to acquire it?
Because who else can buy it? And I don't think any of them want to acquire it "for the greater good" either.
Weakening the tight of Google on the modern web is probably a good thing, but if it's just about giving it to someone else to abuse it, we might just slow the problem a bit instead of resolving it?

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.

great

now I have a new conspiracy theory

we're all martians just trying to recreate our civilization back on Mars

and the lizards which were bred into the original humans on earth are trying to sabotage us

before their planet comes back from its 26 million year orbital cycle

so they distract us with green energy because it's inefficient. with politics and squabbles. so that we don't advance technologically enough to rebuild the civilization we had on mars

so then when their planet comes back around they can do whatever they want with us

year 2 in company, $1200 increament, no senior dev promotion, still stuck at same tax bracket that i was for last 3 years. work environment getting more toxic everyday, and no wfh jobs for Android devs out there.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Everything is so "I don't want to do it" lately 😫

For some reason, our CEO decides on the designs. I have send some designs to him on Wednesday last week. On Friday, he finally approved the designs (with a minor tweak) at 16:57.

On Monday at 14:00, I had a meeting with him and he was mad that the full feature was not finished and in production.

What did he expect? 😐

For context, Friday we had a deadline to get multiple products updated for a deployments on Saturday. That went to the shitter and we spend hours trying to fix it till the middle of the night and decided to roll back. Now we were fixing the shitshow that it was and he is still mad

(those deadlines that friday were barely feasible and we failed)

Fuckers stole my ground. Can't have shit in South Africa

"I like being right so much that, when I’m proven wrong, I change my mind."

Such a great quote! Found it in the comment section of a youtube short :)

Damn I need to get back to work, I'm cooking way too much and at this rate I'm going to be a mid developper, a mid cook and still not have a job...

Mom: "Why are you always on your phone?"

Me: "I’m reading."

Mom: "Oh wow, what are you reading?"

Me: "Comments… on a meme."

Update on my shitty manager.

He's been in HR training and leaving me the fuck alone. So it's a win so far.

JC Denton said it best

So those fucking terrorists in charge over here want to raise VAT by 2%

When did "9-5" become 8-5, lunch is unpaid?

Missing a meeting because I was reading devRant. Worth it.

You'd think that after doing this for 8 years I would've gotten better at estimates...
