using AI is the new water-cooler break. the walking around and saying hi to your co-workers time-waste. the compiling procrastination

In an email conversation the client asks for clarification about a behavior that exists that was never questioned for months. Upon clarification of said behavior the client claims that the feature is supposed to be totally different or they claim to remember that we agreed upon the new behavior. Our team cannot remember it was ever mentioned nor was it documented as a request. The change was rejected with a kindly written "fuck you there was never such a request" and "this use case was never mentioned, this is some new info". What a pleasure!

The more i commit to taking care of my parents the more i fight insecurities from inside. What if I lost my job ? I can cope personally or discard any other person but my parent cant support themselves hence the insecurity.

hey, Tech job expecially is never guarantee anything can happen at anytime, then the pressure and cutting downs this have happen time and again which makes me think what is happiness for me?

I have desired to do this since I was young and saw how they worked hard to make sure I become who I am today, for me I am glad I could care for them and make them happy at their age now and in the other side I battle with insecurity which makes me wonder if I can say am happy.

I am getting to the conclusion that true happiness depends to the degree you decide to ignore uncertainties but yet plan against it which is crazy, am confused but all I know is if happiness depends on feelings then mine fluctuates between when am struggling to fulfill my responsibilities and when am ok to do it, it crazy am confused 😕

wanna fuck shit up bad with the 'power' of linux ?

ls -1N | xargs -I{} mv {} (mispelled path it interprets as a fucking file !)

How was DR in the glory days? I joined a few years ago when it was already was niche

Latelly I'm feeling the urge to write about stuff, coding stuff, what are other places like dev.to and devrant that people enjoy browsing?

What in the godly fuck, AWS RDS doesn't allows you to modify the subnets of its DBSubnetGroup because the subnets being removed are "in use" but they'll make it possible to move the whole fucking instance to a new VPC. Da fucking shit is that cuntness?

Just, non-dev-people. Do I need to say more?

Job-hunting feels like playing Age of Empires; the cities are guarded by the recruiters.

Rogan? Wololoo.

Zig needs to get its shit together frankly.

I know the guy wants to perfect his little design, but has he never considered the fact that the shifting sands of perfection will never align for him?

Instead of working on making progress with the design he already established, he just keeps going back and changing fundamental parts as he sees fit and never making any forwards prog-

oh my god he's me.

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”.

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.

Will BordedDev ever let Retoor date him?

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
