@jestdotty but it looks so bad >:( and the navigation is awful

@retoor nah, you don't have to apologise for cognitively challenged individuals.

@antigermgerm ad hominems. Classy as fuck. The fact is that they do most of the violence because they form the largest part of the population in South Africa specifically. Don't know about other countries.

It depends. In South Africa, the majority of the population (about 80%) are black Africans and the statistics show that they do most of the violence.

Please see this link (focused on homicides): https://researchgate.net/figure/...

@jestdotty I've lived in one of the southern African countries my entire life and black women frequently carry things on their heads, I find it fascinating. I've tried doing that, my skull (and neck) is definitely not capable of doing that. Too round at the top.

@tosensei why is it either racist or stupid?

My one grandmother's brother was a geneticist and he studied the skulls of Whites vs the skulls of blacks in Southern Africa. Blacks have thicker skulls and smaller brains. Unfortunately I haven't got access to his research, but he spoke with my grandmother about it a lot and he's been dead since before I was born.

oh and they hired a UX/UI designer but the UI looks NOTHING like the designs. I don't understand why they're wasting this poor guy's time and talent.

@12bitfloat correction: Microshit

@retoor Tried VR, a climbing game and Elite Dangerous. I liked the climbing game, but it didn't feel nice afterwards.

@retoor you're not alone. I've never tried them, because I too find the idea unsettling.

@BordedDev I actually did on my second computer lmao. didn't really use the solution as is, because it sucked, but I was tired after a whole day of fighting with Angular

not noise-cancelling and not headphones, but I use 3M Peltor Bull's Eye I earmuffs. Doesn't cancel all noise, but most annoying noise and is relatively comfortable. The cushioning is nice.

@retoor I have used Claude extensively with Angular and ColdFusion (vomit), because I don't care for learning the inner workings of those frameworks. So yes, use it for working with unfamiliar stuff such as languages, especially if the documentation is shit and there's nobody else to help you out.

@fruitfcker Same... It's an independent contractor job for 12 months, though. I'll make them enforce standards.

you clearly haven't met my brother...

@retoor Agreed. I've been putting on brakes at work with AI for juniors, because if they don't understand what the LLM is doing in the code, it will be really bad for them in the long term. I want them to really understand what they are doing and be conservative with just trusting AI-generated code.

One shouldn't just blindly accept LLM code as good enough. I press it to provide better options and always modify it to make it more readable by humans. Recently I had to fix so much shit code generated by an LLM...

Same here. I want to tell people who make me use Angular to go fuck themselves :D

"just do a udemy course". lol. took me a month to work on this one Angular course for work, I still don't know what the fuck is going on in this large enterprise app I have to work on and it's been almost a year. I feel dumb and burned out.

@retoor the problem for me with web dev is mainly JavaScript. I hate how it is used for server-side stuff. It feels hacky and wrong although I am guilty of using it server-side. Dilemma...

@lorentz Yeah the HR person who I am dealing with started off talking about Angular and I was like I thought this was a Vue.js job. Told her I won't work with Angular lmao. Fuck Angular

@antigermgerm A free Microsoft code editor. Don't even bother googling it, you're using Vim, you're better off haha.

@antigermgerm VS Code.

@Lensflare they're using a code editor that has been hacked into an IDE. Fucking plebs.

I haven't used Angular for as long as they have and they've never even heard of a thing called Angular Dev Tools that's available to use in Chrome.

@antigermgerm yeah I just want to build a fucking form with 3 fields that has to post the data to an API endpoint. It shouldn't take so much work to this, it's mind-bogglingly complex. Don't know who picked Angular for this front end. Fuck that person too.
