My whole codebase was deleted. Everything. Not a single line of code still there. Why ? Because the boss ran rm -rf /, because he thought it would generate code using ChatGPT.16

Today the traun is a bit more bouncy because there are fewer people on it.
So I accidentally hit u instead of i. -
I graduated a couple years ago with a computer science degree. I’ve been working at an engineering company ever since. I never would’ve imagined the amount of physics and math I’d need to know for engineering compared to CS and I really enjoy it2

Had to go to HR today. They heard I was making disabled icons with Gimp. I told them that if I can't use Gimp it will handicap my efficiency and retard my progress.10

me 2 weeks ago: "can we talk about the release?"
pm: *proceeds to circlejerk about story points for an hour every day*
pm today: "why is our release late?"
dear management, go fuck yourselves. seriously, go fuck yourselves4 -
Reading a note from yourself a few weeks ago that had an idea of how to do something, and wondering what the fuck it means or if we even have a simple viable solution to our problem.1

Tech lead keeps scheduling meetings over my fuckin lunch break. I have a calendar slot to block those times off, and prevent people from scheduling meetings over it.
There is literally nothing else scheduled in his calendar. It's like when you're in a fairly empty bus and someone comes and sits next to you.6 -
I'm a bit tired. Flushed an ISO to sda. My laptop now asks if I want to use try or uninstall xubuntu on boot. Before slowly seeing my complete gui disappearing and had by luck still a terminal open - I could save ssh keys. Dammit. Was switching laptop anyway.
Dammit! I can't believe I did that.5 -
On C++ forum and see reference to Type Erasure (TE). Search around, some Java shit bleeding into other programming languages. Finally find an article that not only explains what TE is, but why you would use it in C++. ITS JUST FUCKING DUCK TYPING. Please stop using stupid names for stuff. You don't sound smarter. You sound like an asshole. Anyway, thinking about it does make sense to call it Type Erasure, but I still think it sounds pretentious. Cool concept, stupid name. Will continue to confuse people saying: "oh, you mean duck typing?"
Cool article:

The wikipedia article about TE doesn't explain shit about why you would even use it. Just repeats the same word salad of words I first saw about TE. I get that its jargon, but from the outside it just sounds like bullshit. I have never heard anyone I work with spew out shit like that. Even the ones with masters degrees in computer science.
I am not even sure I want to learn more about CS than what keeps me employed. I don't want to sound like this when I talk. I have already said shit in meetings about modern C++ that has colleagues (other sparkies, and some CS people) wondering what I was smoking. It wasn't even that jargony.
Don't mind me, just a sparky starting to understand why the CS world is so fucked. Maybe its just academia I can't stand. I dunno.
I should ask in a meeting if someone can define a monad for me.25 -
I can feel myself becoming more intolerant of people wasting my time and I'm in half a mind to do nothing about it.
Maybe they won't bother me if I'm not my perky self 🔪😱1 -
Nothing says "punk" and "against the system" more than having the same political world view as the WEF and Blackrock7

Ubuntu has taken the "Lindows" thing too far. Three updates in and the built-in RDP server gets fucked.
If canonical makes so much money with ubuntu...why are they even allowed to make such mistakes? Fedora is much more stable with newer packages.
Sadly most popular software opts in for Debian's cousin who likes to eat Elmer's glue. -
If you don't have
1. Chronic depression.
2. Episodes of pure mania.
3. Low self esteem.
4. Superiority complex.
5. Drugs/Pills dependency.
6. Identity crisis.
7. Mind numbing migraines.
8. Carpal tunnel.
all of the above at the same time, can u even call yourself a software developer?12 -
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink.
Does anybody know of ways to stop that horse from calling you an asshole as they die of thirst?8 -
i wonder what happened to the bright eyed 18 year old version of me that had perfect grades and was on top of her shit. nowadays i can barely feed myself without feeling exhausted and I can't read a book to save my life4

OMG SharePoint is such a royal cluster fuck.
Random interface with some controls here, some controls there, sometimes shit is in one place, another time it is in another.
It is like a fucking retarded toddler glued a bunch of different animal parts together to make a pet monkey-horse-fish. Frankinware 🧟
Whomever runs that at Microsoft needs a spanking. Hell, their mother needs a spanking for birthing them.3 -
I'm fixing our wrapper for API calls. The typescript for it was nice and simple, except that halfway through it casted almost everything as `any` and then hand-typed the expected return type :)))
Took me almost two weeks to work through that wretched piece of code, I managed to get the types actually correct... but now it started to catch incorrect calls, so I have to go through quite a lot of files to fix the references. But the worst part?
Now it breaks unit tests.
Turns out, multiple frontend unit tests DID NOT MOCK API CALLS AT FUCKJNG ALL HGGHGGHHHHHH. I WONDER WHY THE TESTS WERE TAKING SO FUCKING LONG TO RUN. I AM FUCKING FROTHING AT MOUTH AND I MIGHT NEED TO BE PUT DOWN OR I WILL START BITING PEOPLE3 -
Layoffs are exhausting. Especially when you have to come off PTO to attend meetings. Still have a job. Back to PTO.3
