In Android it seems impossible to paste something behind your text often. It grinds my gears. * heavy breathing *

DevRant seems terrible slow. Wonder if someone is crawling/data mining it.

coffee coffee coffee coffee

I AM LITERALLY ON A TEAMS CALL SITTING ON THE TOILET SHITTING A BIG FAT SHIT AND TALKING CAUSE OF EMERGENCY🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I really have to start spreading leftist propaganda on linkedin lmao

I think it's the right place

(Unrelated, I guess dfox spread the cache, huh?)

EDIT: nope still slow af

Python 3.14 just got released. Shouldn't be called Pi-thon?

My previous company that I ranted too much over recently released their AI product. They advertised it on their website with 3 testimonies; The CEO praising the product, The CEOs wife praising the AI suggestion and their freelance marketing guy praising it also.

This new feature/product is also advertised with an outdated screenshot of our product (it was redesigned twice by now) and the other screenshot is of a scrapped feature. At least they had 1 correct screenshot that was used twice in that webpage

Also, they forgot to attach the license billing to this new feature and lost 1.5months of revenue because of this :D

So Cloudflare DDoSd itself with a React useEffect hook. You can't make this shit up.

Devrant is dying, is it the end of an era?

Fuck it! IT is too stressfull. I am going to start my own cider microbrewery!

government death by bureaucracy mirrors code death by security features

I just wanna do some basic automatic release and evidently I have to get around not one but two security features to do it. remember when everything was easy and fun and just like butter. pepperidge farm remembers

one of them was a hack. lol. so the security feature doesn't even work. they added a new feature which they didn't realize would allow someone to daisy chain the original functionality back in. sad

What a fucking shit Qt is, is it one one the most boring fw to work with? in essence a Qt prog:
QtThis
QtThat
QtFuck
QtWidgetFucked
etc...

Boring, uninteresting, and most important you won't improve your skills, and to finish the Qt shit in its most primary representation is bloated.

all the solutions in rust are always subpar

and it's not even the ownership stuff it's the syntax like with errors with stuff

you just can't be concise so don't even try it

write everything out imperative

Tester: How is $feature supposed to work?
PM: How did $rival_company do it in their $rival_game? Check it there - that's how it's supposed to work.

...One of the greatest killers of any joy in gamedev is when you hear people want to blatantly rip off someone else's design.

If the best practice is not the default and needs to be remembered and applied explicitly, it‘s just horseshit design.

if I keep practicing burnout will I get burnout resistance. like level up. expertise at conquering 🤔

that's how muscles work, so?

macros are ugly but I guess I can get over it

my standards just keep decreasing and decreasing. maybe at some point I'll actually understand rust

problem is... macros are DECLARATIVE. so probably once I start I'll just make a macro of everything and it'll look like lisp/perl or something. variable length arguments lol yay at least that basic feature xD

I also hate typing

npm === node package malware

I'm rewriting this horrendous piece of software that's like, real ugly, I mean, seriously ugly. A non stop mess of global variables and aliases and logical tantrums and fuck I know what else...

That's until today.

Today, after a ton of time spent clenching 2k LOC of ASS into readable 1.2k LOC, all tests passing, and passing faster if I may...

Then came a horrifying realization...

It downed on me, harder than a naked superman for a young Louis Lane

Tha maybe, just maybe, if them codes 's só shitty then probably so is them tests

So I tried deleting a obviously important conditional and to my dismay... oh boy, tests kept passing

...

devrant is so slow, it ain't fun anymore. Where is the community emo when you need him. He always knows how to contact dfox with effect. Don't see him much lately. Buba dreaming I guess.

why devrant loads forever

Yall no me i'm no leftie but some gendered stuff are retarded. Like bike for women? What the fuck it's a machine retard why cant i use it just because I have a penis? Discrimination

geez there's not even a working uml diagram generator for rust

you can barely fit your files on one screen goddamnit. thought it would help

VERBOSITY

The sole reason to use Windows is gaming and MS has been actively sabotaging it as a gaming platform since the release of xbox.

So you pay for gaming and then you are bullied into buying xbox and shitty expensive console games because it’s much more profitable for MS.

The only reason why Windows isn’t completely dead now is Valve snd Steam.

... I remember thinking programming is amazing because everything is possible in it

in rust, nothing is possible

Week: 104 (Year 2)

1 year = 52 weeks
2 years = 104 weeks

So we are stepping into 3rd year.

How are you going to spend this awesome weekend?

Question: What’s the best wrong answer you’ve ever heard?

last Weekend : https://devrant.com/rants/19128044

LLMs will FIX the internet, not ruin it; an argument:

Sam Altman recently acknowledged the large presence of LLMs on twitter and stated that he was finally starting to believe in dead internet theory.

And I couldn't agree more nor be any happier.

I had a sudden realization that social media has slowly crept from being "connect to your friends" to "try not to commit suicide as you climb the infinite social ladder amongst people who are not your peers"

... and I think it deserves to die. Furthermore, I think the only thing that could kill it is the greed that we're seeing finally strangle social media today.

People will never quit social media just because it's *bad for them*. It's too exciting, too interesting.

People will only quit social media if it itself becomes *bad*.

And when it becomes overbearingly full of corporate "brand personalities", LLM slop accounts churning out 500 posts a day to gain $4 in ad revenue, and 100 different AI bot accounts that add nothing to the conversation...

... that's when it's gonna be *bad* enough for people to reduce their usage of it. It will once again encourage the spaces we had before greed took a strangle-hold. Private areas for just you and your real-life friends. To be safe from the corporate slop bots, the LLMs, the 8-second videos of kittens performing impossible tasks... just you and your buds keeping up with each other.

This is the self-healing that nature is so good at. It's incredible how it always happens.

DevRant is slow today.

I came in like a laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagging baaaaaaaaaaall, I never hit so haaaaaard in loooooooooove

lmao.

Diary of an obsessed company.

So at our company, the interview loop includes Sudoku.

Why?
Because if you can’t solve a puzzle with numbers, how are you going to survive when product throws 47 Jira tickets at you with conflicting priorities?

We know you will want to ask:
“Uh… what does Sudoku have to do with shipping features?”

Our response to you is:
“Well… if you put a 3 where a 7 should be, the whole board collapses.
Same thing happens if you deploy on Friday at 4:59pm.”

Next:
We interviewed a candidate
He solved the puzzle.
We hired him.
He still deploys on Friday and can't close tickets. 😔😔😔

🔥 Fire him!!!!! 😆 🤣 😂 😹

So tomorrow is my last day of my 9 year long commitment to this company.

It was hell of a fun ride! I told myself ~5 years ago that this is the last company I will be working for. And I stand by it. I'm starting [continuing?] my own thing srarting next week.

I wish you all to find an employer [and be employed by] as amazing as I had [technically still have]. There's really nothing else a technitian can ask/wish for :)
