I don't believe what I just saw..

I really want this whole industry to die. I want it to happen from the bottom of my soul!

Their whole job ad was about web technologies where they were asking for a 7-10 years Symfony developer.

One would think being a programmer for 10 years should superseed your shitty LLM prompt crafting requirements.

Truly, there never was a better time for global EMP to happen..

The more I read these LinkedIn bullshit posts the more I believe StackOverflow was a perfect heaven and right all along regardlesss of all of its toxicity - this was neccessary.

There are just *too many* morons that are getting by and polluting industry and individuals with their so called "professional and expert" oppinions.

What's even worse is that almost nobody will call their bullshit as we're all here under some unwritten "act welcoming and professional" agreement.

This platform is such a fucking cancer of digital world, makes me want to create fake accounts just to troll them all the time.

Questions in job applications have become a fucking joke.

I'm done with them, from now on to stupid questions I'm only answering in same fashion.

Just a good old rant: I'm seriously impressed (depressed) on how much cringe of bullshit there is on Linkedin, each time I open the app I feel like I'm one shotgun mouthwash from stopping on using it.

Genuine question, what was the most comments you've left in a single code review?

Just reviewed pull request submitted by a developer working for a contractor company and needed to leave 70 comments. Seventy.

Opened LinkedIn and saw a post from that same developer saying he left the contracting company an hour ago. I still can't believe it.

Why is my devrant all of a sudden in chinese?

I'm not really active here recently but thought it would be nice to share a cool website I ran into: https://refactoring.guru/design-pat...

Imo every developer who aspires to be more professional should have it in its bookmarks and ocassionally look into it when facing a code design dilema.

Finally finished the longest ticket I've ever worked on in my life. The ticket title and description was a pretty simple and straightforward one: "Upgrade from PHP 7.4 to 8".

If it was only so simple in real life. Our application is mostly done with API Platform framework, which is based on top of Symfony framework which is based on top of PHP language.

Once I did PHP 7 => 8 upgrade I needed to upgrade API Platform 2 => 3. But of-course that couldn't have been done as before that I needed to upgrade from Symfony 5 => 6.

This all was literally an equivalent of touching into a wasp nest - it took me a bit over 5 months and 800 hours of work and there was literally not a single source file left untouched.

In the process of all of this I've ran into literally dozen undocumented feature-breaking changes, broken backwards-compatibility promises and inside out architectural changes - from both the frameworks and the language itself.

Upgrading just one major version of anything SHOULD NOT be so hard. And to top it all up just to think I will need to do this again in a year or two..

Experiences like these really set my hate for time-based model of releases and the state of today's development in general.

Just first time tried an OpenAI PHP client package and this is what I got as a response on first request ☠️

Just found out Google Domains is being shutdown and all domain registrations sold to Squarespace. Somebody should be hanged for this..

Unpopular opinnion: Whole IT industry is becoming more and more degenerative with each passing day..

Every time I see a cringe job post like this I internally scream hard. There, fixed it for them 🫡

Time to say no to artificial intelligence, tried ChatGPT today and it's frightening.

The day when we won't consider nukes as the biggest threat to our civilization is approaching exponentially faster and faster and this is really worrying.

Fingers crossed we can say goodbye to ping and latency problems in next 5-10 years. Exciting times we live in.

Me: closes eyes and says to myself how I MUST get some sleep..
My brain: *starts thinking about keywords MUST, SHOULD, REQUIRED and how those are defined in RFC-2119*

Why I just can't get some normal sleep, could it be licensing issue with my brain? 🙈

Just discovered Insomnia Designer, I freaking love it and it's git integration. This is exactly what we developers needed for years 🥳

With all of this Microsoft blacklist and master bullshit, I wonder when will someone protest for git push/pull to be changed due to sexism 🙄🙄🙄

PHP are you freaking kidding me right now? Why are you forcing me to write ugly and meaningless code like this?

Today I just learned that boolval("false") will return true.

I'd deffo expect this from casting operators, but not from a function which even has val inside of its name.

What purpose is to have functions like these in language if they just serve as plain wrapper for casting operators

Just tried Xiaomi Mi Band vibration alarm. It literally only gives 15 short bursts over the 10 seconds and then it stops. There's almost no configuring available in their app except for snooze option which only has default value of 10 minutes, so it means you're stuck with just choosing an alarm time.

Do they actually expect people to wake up by that?

Still boggles my mind that it took something like coronavirus for people to start covering their mouth when sneezing / coughing, washing hands and let's not even mention public places like shopping malls and stores to start with regular disinfection of their premises.. 🙄🤦‍♂️

I feel sorry for people for who this is actually a thing and they find it helpful 😬

Always love seeing massive companies fail in simple trivial things like these. Just tells me they don't have proper QA.

Udemy strikes again with their amazing courses..

So many things wrong in this image that I don't even want to start..

Seriously, who teaches people to write code like that?

How the hell does PR containing production secrets and private keys gets 3 approvals and gets merged upstream? 😬 🥴

I really don't understand how developers from Facebook, WhatsApp and other messaging platforms still didn't figure out that ever since they introduced message previews on push notifications that those "seen" check-marks became utterly useless in most of cases..

This COVID-19 quarantine just confirms it, since nobody is doing anything else except being on phones and computers whole day but somehow it still takes them several hours to "read" the message..

This is response I got from my ex tech lead in a company that I left six months ago..

Btw account is registered on my private email and has admin access to Slack full of confidential files.

Don't even know why I worked there..

When you pay money to Facebook to advertise yourself as SEO expert, but are unable to even properly optimize your own website.. 😬 🤷‍♂️

Ffs Bitbucket, is it really so much to ask for to have a mobile responsive website in 2020 to normally review my pull requests.

Not like we're giving you loads of money for your service already or anything.. 😌

Getting really sick of brand naming conventions these days, Youtube just suggested me a video called "Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra vs iPhone 11 Pro Max!"

Like what are those, Transformer names? 🙄
