AboutI like making things, adding features, fixing things. I've got too many things on the go at once for repetitive, so I'll automate instead.

getting fired on 20th june 2025 and it is SUCH a fucking relief to not ever see this 30 year old garbage code project EVER AGAIN!!!! and moving onto modern technology project for another client. FUCK OFF 🇨🇭♿️🇨🇭♿️🇨🇭♿️1

Company wants to change to a different cloud provider because of credits :/
Thus rebuilding the infrastructure from ground up.
Worst part is Azure sucks.3 -
If you ever wondered how a lab-rat inside a labirinth might feel like, go and try delete that facebook profile you setup ages ago but still get spam mails from. The whole account deletion process has been engineered to maximize the likelihood of not deleting your data it's actually pretty amazing.1

A blackbox seo tool that was made by aliens we use says that a couple of our WordPress sites are loading very slowly, so I enable caching through nginx and increase the resources available to them through high capacity fpm pools. They scan again and almost nothing has changed with the page load score.
So I look in lighthouse, which I just learned about, and I find that several of the pages have several MB size images. So that means I'll have to mogrify the entire uploads directory to try to get the size down.
It also suggests I use avif to save a ton of data, which I'm torn on. I hate downloading an image and it not being a normal format that everything can open. But my sites are not image sharing sites, so it's a lot less annoying to the user since they will never realize they're getting an avif. That also means I will have to redo all the image links to point to the avif instead of the original, which sounds like the least fun activity ever.
Another thing that I keep seeing is that Elementor is just slow and slow page loads are part of the deal. If we have to scrap Elementor, that means I will have to be more involved in developing the WordPress sites and I really don't want to.6 -
This is a first... My CEO made a youtube video announcing that they fired an employee (sales). I don't even know why they had to make a youtube video. The link was part of an email, just write it down in that email instead of labeling it as "small message from our CEO"
So disrespectful in my opinion.6 -
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.13

How was the weekend?
I cut my 5-year-old's long hair this weekend. Time to change the avatar
What split your life into before and after?

Quote of my CEO today: "We are never going to get an other lawyer as customer... Only problems!"
Imagine our users knowing their rights, such a shame.2 -
The fact that “сермяжная правда” directly translates to “homespun truth” proves that the working class was abused in both “capitalist utopia” and “socialist utopia”.1

I just learned that if I doesn't want to use Bluetooth for my MX keys mini and my MX master 3 I need 2 separate dongles because the first need the bolt one and the second the unifying one...
Ffs Logitech, really?2 -
Validating an input field while it's still focused is like a teacher repeatedly interjecting "this is no complete sentence" before the students have finished their sentence.11

really hate how they keep using the word equity everywhere
an AI just used it to describe some process prioritization code I handed it to summarize
that is not at all relevant here...10 -
Pro tip: make your tool’s error messages very long, so feeding them into ChatGPT is not financially viable. Then, sell support for your tool.3

we should archive these posts, I'm gonna miss the choice bullshit when this forum finally gives out5

> Your concern is entirely valid—naming can significantly affect how intuitive a concept feels. The term "object safe" in Rust might seem odd or even misleading if we approach it from a traditional object‑oriented perspective.
can rust please stop trying to be "different" for the sake of being different. Dumbest thing. Just call things what they are. What's the point of words if you're not actually accurately using them. Especially for a programming language, which is based on math and logical systems. Like how. Why. Stop. Antithesis to the mindset that should be making languages to begin with if you can't do logic with the words that already exist. Horrible sales pitch. Are they trying to confuse people on purpose, make moats so nobody learns it? is this self-sabotage?

I have bludgeoned an AI on this matter. I feel kind of bad. It tried to ad hominem me and then tell me I'd get it if I wasn't so new, and that it's a perfectly valid name because it's in the "reference guide". Called it out on appeal to authority and now it's just saying my argument points back at me like it's groveling. Sigh.
And it's hallucinated thinking I'm the whole online community giving critiques on this matter now, therefore my points are valid, lmao1 -

I did a little bit of finger practice in Unity, nothing fancy just two spheres and a capsule-guy under Newtonian gravity and a force-driven player control script that works on spheres.
I will never understand how C# libraries spontaneously decide that some operations will be nonvirtual methods while others will be static methods. It is the exact same thing! You're just ruining intellisense for no conceivable reason!
Also, transform has a right but no left, the float return value of Vector3.SignedAngle is not the same unit as Transform.Rotate(Vector3, float), Transform has LookAt(Vector3 position) but not Look(Vector3 direction), to do that you need to
transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(transform.up, direction).normalized(), direction)
you can't discover whether a collision encountered sticky or dynamic friction, you need to infer that by calling RigidBody.GetPointVelocity on both RB-s at the collision point, which has its own quirks. Apparently this is to keep the API engine agnostic, but any serious project will have its own physics materials which already specify the sticky friction coefficient. A simulation that works correctly with physics materials but doesn't discover the kind of friction as an intermediate result is not possible.
RigidBody's velocity isn't displayed in the GUI, so you can't give it an initial value without a dedicated script. I have a script on this fucking moon that does nothing but add a force in Start.
Is it just me or does Unity feel cheap somehow? Like a hastily written library for a research project that was never rounded out with the obvious features. I understand that it's a free product that catalyzed the golden age of indie game development, but I think it's seriously struggling to keep up, not with the showy investor bait stuff, but with the standard of comfort modern tooling provides.10 -

GUYS I FOUND THIS WATER BOTTLE THAT ADDS HYDROGEN IN YOUR WATER. HOW GREAT IS THAT
1 OXYGINATED WATER BOTTLE = 766 BANANAZ2 -
Krystry and I got the same amount of work done last week...
Why is this a problem? Krystry was on leave2
