well developer life is shit in a political environment

>> Task 1 is given to sr. dev
>> Task 2 is given to jr dev

>> Sr dev gives estimate for task as 2 days. no questions asked
>> Jr dev gives estimate for task as 5 days, whole team starts negotiating (the st dev being the loudest voice"
>> jr dev ends up with a timeline of 4 days.
(btw task is heavy enough for 5 proper days)

both start work
>> jr dev does the task in 3 days, tries to clear out edges, run test cases, clear doubts (thats also a shitty side rant) and submit a perfect task by day 4
>> sr dev starts fast on day1, takes leave on day 2, works on some urgent bug fix on day 3 and delivers task somehow on day 4

>> both gets new tasks on day 5 . this time sr dev still has prod fixes while jr dev is again doing a large task in bad estimates

>> bugs come on day 6. jr dev task bugs 2. sr dev task bugs 25
>> all bugs get aligned to jr dev because sr dev is working on high priority task

wtf? why am i supposed to fix other people's shit? btw this guy is module lead (next position for SSE) now and i am still the junior dev, and we 2 joined the org on the same day :/

he can't follow proper code architecture, writes shit code and he is getting the wins. I am cleaning everyone's mess and i am getting the stick

this is shit life

Sick and tired of this stupid country. I came to this city because the newspapers keep saying it had a huge drug problem. I CANNOT FIND DRUGS ANYWHERE

Fucking liars

@Lensflare, your bots are doing pretty good. I will see a spam, then I refresh and its gone. Definitely makes this place more tolerable. Are your bots keeping up? Any fallen warriors?

PSA: You setting up a RAG + System Prompt + Agent + Intents does NOT mean you “trained an AI”.

@wojtek322 made a nice list of 25 questions about the EU chat control law. A very terrible law. One we can't ignore.

Those questions, I've ran them trough Gemini and got them answered. Then, I generated this nice page: https://static.molodetz.nl/chat-con... covering the law.
It's nice informative page, worth a read.

For people who don't know yet - with Gemini you can do a deep research, and at the end of it, you can generate a site like this / a quiz / graphs. It's very nice. What a time to be alive, sadly the EU wants to end that great time.

Edit: i did not even chose the dramatic title. Imagine.

Been installing llama.cpp using aur and have ccache installed. Well for some reason one of the dependencies has some system lib incompatibly when it uses the cached object, you'd think running ccache -c would fix it, but no had to manually delete the cache folder

Day #7, of turning into a Simp for Claude Code, yesterday it surprized me again.

I'm developing a Python-Qt6 GUI to help me run about 100 small scripts I generated and use sparecely...I know squat about Qt6 and the only python I ever did was FastAPI code.

So it generated the app, and I creeped as many features I could think on it, one of those was auto dark-mode setting (so I can feel like a grown up hacker)... of course it broke the UI.

The interesting part comes next: as I struggled trying to solve it myself, I asked it to create a test and try to solve the UI issue.

So it creates a Test Window, shows me and instructs me on how to test it, asking for my input, and solves the f UI issue.

Then it destroys the test code Just to show me who's the boss.

wow tarot cards have a solution to hobby programming projects

just always stuck in 3 of wands, forever

cuz 5 of wands sucked. so then I started avoiding 4 of wands to never get to 5. and then you just get stuck planning forever at 3.

5 is when communities of people come with their own ideas and cause self doubts in you, override you. 4 is respite/pride/reveling and feeling comfortable in your idea/quest and seeking out a community base to share it with

guess in the end it's always that people suck and nobody can do anything alone. mega lame!

Dear UK. WTF?

Company is not doing well so decided to go job hunting again, or rather respond on linkedin. Didn't think I cared that much, but I have been unable to finish the work I need to do, something that I should be able to do in a day at most. Half of me is "remember you don't care" the other half is "why are such a slacker, useless piece of shit"

Anyway, first call with an actual recruiter was positive

After 5 days of being /gone/ finally caught up again. Anyway, see you all next week or when page 4 is fully unread again

(not really, just have been busy)
(btw you can get temporarily banned from commenting it seems)

CSS is for children.

Who needs colors and blinking and custom fonts. Those things are retarded. HTML have everything you need to make functional websites.

Actually if you ever used CSS we should send you to gulag

i haven't seen "rant of the week" thingy for a lot of time, i assumed my app needs updating but i know there r no longer android updates.

EpiPen's patent expires in September 2025.

What is your side project that you have been working on?

Wow there's a new season of king of the hill

Realization today:
-I have serious traumas from my childhood after:
working on animal agriculture and industrial farms
-Living in a shit hole country during bombardment and war
-Couldn't get any job with a degree and was forced to leave with 300€ in my pocket to stay alive

I'm glad that all of this is over for more than 10+ years but I feel it caused a serious damage in my mental health.

It's hilarious how employers disguise the concept of 'big pile of horseshit and stress' as 'challenge'/'opportunity'.

Give. Me. A. Break.

Will BordedDev ever let Retoor date him?

A post with many thumb up reactions with different skin tones, of course counted separately.

Because apparently it matters who is agreeing as a white person and how many agree as persons with a slightly darker skin tone. 🤦‍♂️
This is so fucking dumb.

Sure, I'll just find the error in this very intelligible stack

What is your recommended hosting platform?

I'm making a website+backend (react, c# + small sql db + discordjs bot) for a friends gaming community and would like to host it "soon".

What possible use could this utility have ???

It sounds stupid.

There’s lay offs in my company.

So far:
- slackers and incompetents are staying
- Part of the leadership team is in holidays
- No one said the word lay offs but use the sentence “changes to come”

I am going back on monday and part of me hope I will be kicked out as I will have nothing to loose then, and a full month to say whatever I want.

1. How many active people do we have on this platform?
2. Why don't we do something together as it would grow quickly and all of us could retire in 3 months?
