Azure sucks!

I have been pulling my hair off using Azure. All questions I posted on their support doesn't have any answers.

Their documentation is overwhelming as hell, they don't provide enough examples. They just put information like they expect the user already knows it.

F*K U AZURE

I've had to create a very simple frontend feature connected to an API. That part works flawlessly but we have rewritten a bunch of code in the system for a certain hardware device.

Now the person that was working on the backend just said today he has no device to test it on lab environment. Neither does any colleague apparently

And guess who got a meeting with the CEO, COO, sales people and the project manager for a demo of that said feature :D

It sucks that peripheral manufacturers don't fully support Linux. I've given Linux Mint an honest and fair try and I like it for being distraction-free and unbloated as opposed to Windows. However, there are too many things that don't work in Linux, such as connecting an external VGA screen through an HDMI adaptor, or to configure a Logitech mouse. It's a deal breaker.

The English Wikipedia's article on "Ostrich" has "Not to be confused with Osterreich" written on top :D
Americans, am I right?

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.

Worst part of looking for a job is that I don't actually want one

It's impressive how slow the archive compression/decompression in Windows 11 is slow...

Holy fucking shit, I can't stand this corporate framework they use for this banking app on which I've been working on for 2 months.

I’ve spent the last damn month just building three basic screens, and now my very first PR is buried under 50 fucking comments. Half of them exist purely because their shitty framework has multiple versions stacked and stitched together with so many workarounds that you need so much domain knowledge that intuition or actual dev experience goes out the window.

They’ve abstracted real app development into oblivion. It’s a CRUD app, but they've over-engineered it so much they’re now creating their own problems — just so they can specialize in solving them. It's become this self-sustaining nightmare where they make themselves irreplaceable... and simultaneously unemployable anywhere else.

I genuinely have no idea what I’m doing with my life anymore. The original plan was six months here, grab a mortgage, fuck off, and go back to contracting.

Now I’m stuck questioning my sanity every time I open this project or have to listen to another lecture from my 'buddy' about how everything that I'm doing is wrong.

Shithead manager.

Complaining that I'm a "senior" and he expects more from me (ignore that he's been making that complaint for 3 years and it's only been my job for less than 1)

Now complaining that I'm taking time to teach someone about something that they don't actually need to know.

I'm so fucking done with this job.

Had to change my dog in my profile. The little black dog died, and I'm grieving pretty hard over it. One dog left, and that's it for me after he's gone. I can't say goodbye to any more puppers.

The shortest rant ever that doesn't need any explanation: XCODE

Just spent 5h figuring out why sending a serial command wont trigger in U-Boot. Was literally soldering wires to the boad, decoded the entire line with a scope, used several adapters, downloaded the firmware again and again over serial and USB-dfu and a looking for alternative boards online just to find out cutecom was set to send no LF after a command so U-Boot thought i was still typing something. This is literally the semicolon joke you see splattered over normie coding memes.

pls stop putting talking into music mixes. you're ruining my jive. I don't wanna hear your opinions. just play the math noises

How can something called SOAP be such filthy shit. No wonder people wanted to build local-only software back then.

I think most devs have burnout. I do. lol

mechanical keyboard proponents be talking about longevity... I never ever had a membrane keyboard fail on me. they're indestructible. but I had a mechanical keyboard with kailh red switches fail on me, and I had to constantly spray it with wd-40 to make it work again. ugh.

I'm yet to get used to the fact that whatever I'm seeing on my screen is private and for my eyes only

bye apple, I said bye, get out of my mind, eat shit and die!

Windows imgae viewer is a fucking spamming bloatware.

CEO is blaming a frontend bug for a backend outage. The server simply did not scale with new active clients ))))))

I hate being belgian. Half of the time the algorythm think you're dutch.

Bitch I can't speak dutch.

@retoor what does that mean????

I don't like Agile so much. Things are always rushed and you rarely ever have 30 minutes to discuss something in depth, not even in the retrospective meeting. Team mates too busy to discuss concerns. Sigh.

man, every prediction about the day's work during standup makes me look stupid. I'll have to learn to shut the fuck up the hard way.

Microsoft thats not a terminal, that five dotnet's in a powershell trenchcoat!

No amount of sub-par developers cheering for AI to overtake them will be enough to make me install Copilot or any glorified autocomplete. None of that would be needed anyway if people documented and tested their shit anyway.

Well, my boss is officially unhinged.

He threatened me in a call. He thinks I ratted him out to HR for living over seas. Funny thing is I don't give a rats ass, he's got the wrong guy.

Going to HR now though, see if I can move teams to minimize the damage he can afflict on me.

Client: Build me this subscription based software

Also client: *doesn't fundamentally understand how subscriptions work*

i haven't even updated to win11, so why tf does Microsoft think i want copilot on my task bar

My manager wants to have a conversation about my attitude. Time to explain that when I worked hard I got no pay rise, I only got a promotion because I lost my rag at him when he was being an arse. I have no motivation to do anything other than the bare minimum.

3 work weeks later and my PTO is not yet approved nor declined.

I have 1 week left of my statutory leave. I have gotten the comment from my manager that I have taken off too many days already which is less than the legal minimum :))))

I have so little hopes of my holiday being approved.

My colleagues are morons. They're "evaluating" AI research tools and it's going about as well as you'd expect.
