Gradle sucks ass

Firefox preview for Android is like a dream come true.

Today was fucking awesome!

I always wanted to do a project in C++ since I've been more of a Java guy for years now.
And today, I finally wrote a full console program in C++! (For windows, it's a .exe)

The purpose of that program is to show if a file has a file lock on it (because of copying for example).

It started as simple as that, but got complicated quickly:
- It needs colors! So I added colors.
- Just a single file? Boring. I need wildcards, so I can put a * for anything in the file name! Jup.
- Just one directory? Boring. I need a recursive directory walk! Got it.
- But wait! There has to be an option to switch between recursive and wildcard/single mode! So I checked if the first argument equals "-r"! Hacky but works.
- Oh uh... that spams a lot now! The purpose was to show locked files, so I need another argument to specify that I only want to see locked files! Damn now it get's hard... I need a Linux-like command line argument parser (this -h and -s "hello" stuff). So I took the opportunity to write one myself! Done.
- Refactoring everything to use my new fancy parser...
- Adding more and more arguments, just because I can:
- "-d" hides "access denied" messages
- "-l" shows only locked files
- "-r" activates recursive directory walk
- "-f" formats everything nicely, basically printf("%-150.150s | %s", filename, locked); a maximum width which get's truncated if too long so everything lines up nicely
- "-h" which of course displays the help page
- "-w file" watches a file, if the file is locked it will refresh every 500ms, if it's still locked nothing happens, if it's unlocked, the program prints "unlocked" in green and exits. And yes, it does have a rotating line (something like this: "-" "\" "|" "/" "-" and so forth...)

That project was just awesome to make. I learn languages fastest if I just do a big project in them, and today, I really learned a lot.

Thank you for reading all this!

That moment when a peer who is pretty tough on you during code reviews is super easy on others 😒. Just annoying

i guess we're doing this now, then?

Fun fact from reddit 😹

I can't use Javascript object destrucuring in react components because a colleague doesn't like / understand it for some reason.

So instead of:
({ something }) => {
return (
<div>{something}</div>
)
}

If have to use
(props) => {
return (
<div>{props.something}</div>
)
}

Its no big issue, but I hate it.

Hehehe

Just gonna leave it here

What do you get distracted from?

Don't work.

Having a good time in London

On interview, ask: "Does this company participate in open source projects/has a few?". If no, run away. If yes, it's a pretty big chance to get a nice job. (don't know if this works)

Be active users, not passive...

Today I realized that I hit a total burnout. Last 3 years were extremely stressful for me (4 jobs in 3 different countries, exhausting and toxic relationship, bad habits). Last 7 months are the worst. I became lonely isolated and miserable. I learned to rely purely on stress, determination and validation to get through my days. Was supressing my emotions for a long time just to focus on making the money. Its time to break the cycle.

Im done with this. Next week Im quitting my fulltime job. Saved enough money for starting capital of my own dev services company. Built three projects that generate stable income to cover my living costs. Now finally I can take a long break to recover from this burnout and to heal myself. That poor persons mentality that I had from my poor family has been shattered. I achieved what I wanted in terms of having the money and gathered enough experience necessary to survive anywhere.

I managed to get through all this shit on my own with barely any support. People around me were draining me more than actually helping me. But I managed to do it and now its time to focus on myself, to heal and restore love for living. Im safe now.

Nothing pisses me off more, than when you've attended interviews and you never hear back 😡

It's just common curtersy!

How can you learn a lot of things?
i'm trying to learn kotlin and i think i'm forgetting python.
is it happens to you?
or i'm stupid?

I'm actually at a point where I'm using devRant wkxxx posts to keep track of time.

!dev
Out of curiosity, what do you guys hear / know about a country called Lebanon ?

i just saw a macbook pro 13" for the first time in my life irl in a shopping mall

1) what the fck

2) how the fkc can someone work on a screen This small, my fckin dick is bigger than this screen

3) who the fkkk buys such a small screen laptop at a price of $3777 !!!!!!!

Love working from home because I can literally scream at the stupid commentary that appears in my inbox.

Q: Do you have an option which allows me to use spaces instead of tabs?

A: Go fuck yourself (and, stop using a plain text editor, then uploading code to Google Docs.)

Developer vs non developer interview:

Non developer:
How well do you know excel ?

Developer:
How would you write spreadsheet app, what if it was cross platforms mobile application but also desktop app ?

Non developer:
Do you know how to use windows?

Developer:
Do you know kubernetes, distributed systems, lambdas, cloud services and how to deploy to server farm ?

Non developer:
You know how to use printer / fax and coffee machine ?

Developer:
Do you have experience in writing code for embedded devices ?

Non developer:
Do you know powerpoint ?

Developer:
How well do you know javascript / html / css, are you comfortable with writing backend node.js code or electron applications ?
React native and native apps maybe ?

Uhh.. yeah. No.

I was reading about AI, and now I want to buy a self driving car, and set it free... We shouldn't cage up AI in a car, what if it wanted to be an apache helicopter?

Ow wait that's even more scary 🙃
