I'll keep naming it master until I die, and my code will outlive me, so fuck 'em all.

well I would just say I don't know, I haven't ran into "x problem" yet. There are so many variables to deal with in this industry and it's impossible to know everything.

@c3r38r170 your mom

don't think I'll switch though, I just got over the stress of switching to a new job and doing it again in less than 6 months isn't worth it for me. I thought about it and the stress it puts on me is really not worth the massive salary hike. Also, it's a gambling company, so it goes against my personal values. I fuckin hate gambling.

@retoor using JS for the backend feels like a sin, utter blasphemy. CRINGE.

@djsumdog I like developing in PHP. JavaScript makes me want to cry sometimes. Maybe I am just dumb haha.

yeah same. Although I don't use Claude Code, I use the Jetbrains AI thing with Claude mostly. GPTs are shit at code. Fuckin hate it, but I need to work fast, so need to pump out some slop (which I need to fix later). Just need to get shit working so the client can see some stuff.

to be fair it isn't always a conscious choice. for me, I can't spend too much time on quality, and cringe at the AI slop I have to push just to meet deadlines. I hate working like this, and I have no say in the deadlines

@D-4got10-01 oh god, it is like this with my current project...

I used to play guitar, but now I just inspire my musician lover to write lyrics and make music lol. So I guess that kinda counts...

@Lensflare yeah, because clients/stakeholders want shit NOW, unrealistic deadlines and project managers lie to them about it. then the pressure is on us to perform, take shortcuts and build shitty web apps. My last job wasn't like this, but it was boring lol

yeah I tried being straight and didn't like it

failed abortion is a good one too, no?

good to know I wasn't being a retard when I complained about Win11's notepad being shit.

@BordedDev if i have time, sure :D

@Lensflare hah! usually I am right 😎

It's annoying how we never get included from the start to determine realistic timelines. I know why, though, because most programmers don't speak business language. We need to learn how to do that, I've been doing that, but it's easier said than done.

Spotify is dog shit. I use Tidal, though, slightly better.

I still use the old Winamp, what a great piece of software.

A musician friend of mine sends me her MP3s before she makes them publicly available so I have a private playlist I listen to sometimes with all of her stuff.

@D-4got10-01 yeah it's definitely from higher up. I jumped in on the deep end. I don't even know React but I learned pretty fuckin fast.

Boss promised things to the client, so yeah here I am. I started after deadlines were set. And they can't change...

Thankfully Laravel is great to work with and feels comfortable. Got another backend dev doing some other stuff, so I don't have to build the entire thing on my own.

@retoor yeah i dunno. I wrote everything in a document and in readmes in the code base. People don't read.

@ogier I wouldn't say so, anything is at the mercy of a newcomer. The irony is that it seems to sell itself as this amazing opinionated framework that enforces standards. ha-fuckin-ha.

My side project is building a business so I don't have to be an employee anymore.

@Root lol how come your situation sounds so much like mine?

Today I was bothered by my boss about some bug fix I worked on that was supposed to be on the go-live publish thing today, which isn't. I told her uhm I submitted the PR 11 days ago. Guy who is supposed to review and manage the entire go-live project didn't even bother reading my PR, not respond to my ticket updates where I tag him. The paper trail is there. It is his own responsibility to manage the tickets he's the project lead for.

@ogier you've not seen the dumpster fire of a "modern" framework Angular project I've had to work on this past year. Some code is worse than most vanilla JS projects I've seen. None of the benefits of a modern framework is applicable to this project. I'm not shitting on frameworks, I use them myself and some of them are great.

@D-4got10-01 I honestly don't know. it's not my car. I'm gonna go tinker with its settings.

@bols59 yeh I kinda still prefer Mac/Linux. However, every time MacOS updates, homebrew stuff breaks and I have to fix some shit there. Maybe I just need to use Docker for all of my dev work...

what color waffle are you, though?

I recently interviewed with a company that runs Django backend with jQuery, HTML5 and CSS front end. That's it. Oh and a PostgreSQL database.

That's their tech stack. So simple.

After working with Angular for the past year, I would LOVE to just go back to those simple things.

@D-4got10-01 Yeah the issue is not only that it's ugly, it's a shitty UX too. The one menu just stops working for no reason and only shows up when you resize the browser window to around tablet width. there's some weird JS shit going on there, but I couldn't care less to fix it. not my ass, not my turd.

@D-4got10-01 the irony in the matter is I suggested a long time ago we create a standardised UI component library/design system to match with the company branding and it was ignored like an old turd. and my boss was all like "i'm a data person, i don't care about look and feel that much, things just need to work!"

I'm flabbergasted...

@D-4got10-01 yeah this dude has been really weird with me for the past 5 months. I don't care anymore, I'm on my way out :D

But, I suspect he might have had some sort of attraction to me, because we bonded over video games last year and I guess I friend-zoned him so hard, his heart broke.
