i haven't even updated to win11, so why tf does Microsoft think i want copilot on my task bar

Trying not to be an asshole when my first reaction is "wow that's shit"

The handle on the faucet in one of the bathrooms broke off today. You can still operate the faucet with some finger strength. It is just difficult. We also got a reminder today that we are not to be streaming video or music using the company wifi. They ask that we use our own bandwidth on our phones.

So on the bathroom door where the faucet handle is broken I placed this sign:

I support the idea that we rename devRant to WTFRant. I feel like the WTFs per rant is steadily increasing.

When I see the term "self-explanatory" in documentation, it's usually not.

If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter how fast it doesn't work.

Getting into a bed with fresh sheets after a long shower is heaven

Not many things would get me out of bed rn

My colleagues are morons. They're "evaluating" AI research tools and it's going about as well as you'd expect.

Hiring Manager: Thanks for interviewing for the position. But the things we listed as "nice to haves" are actually required for the job so we aren't going to hire you.

Holy fuck, I hate the internet

Remember everyone. 5 hours of ChatGPT will always save you 5 minutes of stackoverflow

I want a job where I'm left to just refactor a horrible legacy codebase and make it easy to change

45

...

45 is the number of calls in my call history today.
Needless to say, my brain was fried by 1400

I'm so fucking done.

I hate the tech influencers that talk about clown strike and they obviously have no idea what they’re talking about go watch John Hammond before talking about what cnn said you assfuck
Y’know what maybe I just hate tech influencers

No work today....

Do drugs, kids. Stay away from programming.

I don't understand how these people worked like this. Every time I make a change in the JS, CSS or HTML files, the entire app rebuilds with Webpack, and logs you out, so you have to log back in and navigate back to where you were working at.

Apparently they did this because clients were complaining that front end files were being cached and doesn't see any changes, so to clear the cache, every time you refresh the web app in the browser, it logs you out, effectively clearing your session.

Fuck the morons who built this piece of feces.

Ugh.

Cunt: hey i need you do to Thing
Me: sure, send me the details
C: yep! How long do you think it will take you to finish it?
Me: yes

It's always fun when the app is crashed by a... logger

The fact that I can buy a game for $70 price tag today, and still run the risk of it getting taken away from me, by the company that built it, is why I'll always pirate games.

If buying is not owning, then pirating is not stealing.

Some old tech: exists and functions just fine for 20+ years.

Some tech bro: Yeah we gotta throw this out the window and re-invent the freaking wheel.

I absolutely despise companies that do automated interview processes. You need to sit and talk to a candidate to properly vet them, then again there are some dumb interviewers who ask the most ridiculous questions

I kinda want to quit programming and restore vintage bicycles instead.

There are too many ads. So many. Everywhere

So I'm sitting on the swings, minding my own business, seing how best I could destroy this cluster of servers, when suddenly I notice SOMEONE IS COMING FOR MY COFFEE

"hi neighbour! What you've got there"

Fucked up my username.

fuck, I'm unemployed...

99.9% of the people are dumb! Fortunately I belong to the remaining 1%
