Well it finally happened… I deleted the production DB 🤦🏼‍♂️

Rollback successful but lost over 3 hours of production data

when you end up in the ER with excruciating pain early on a Saturday morning from persistent inflammation from chronic job stress and getting sick more than normally, you gotta change jobs.

no amount of money is worth your health.

(the drugs they gave me were pretty fun though, but not something I ever want to go through again)

Shit.

Thought I had turned off the stove after making dinner but seems it stayed on.

Thankfully the kitchen automatically turns off after a set time, so only the pan and a couple nearby things were lost.

Still, seems some electric wire in the extractor got wrecked because the kitchen line breaker is down and won't go up.

Waking up to your house full of smoke really sends you into panic mode...

Spent 9 hours debugging a production issue.

At 3:17 AM: Changed one random line. It worked. 😵‍💫💀

Next morning:
Boss: “What fixed it?”
Me: “Yes.”

Everything development related I see recently are related to LLMs and I’m starting to get sick of it :(

Initially I didn’t like mold in my apartment, but since then it grew on me.

Yo check out my new website!!!

Bought a brand new Asus Laptop for my studies, because according to my asshat teacher "nobody is using a MacBook these days"...

After 2 minutes I wanted to punch a hole through the screen and my teacher's face.

Everything I fucking opened stopped responding

I hate windows

New JoyRant build (38) with a new feature:

Every user that you see in a rant will be stored in a list which can be used for @mentioning and viewing the profile.

https://devrant.molodetz.nl/IMG_529...

Sometimes you just don‘t remember the exact name of a user and hopefully this feature will help.

It might also be a nice summary of how many users are active.

Programmer's Brain at 2 AM:

Bug appears at 2 PM: “I'll fix it later.”

Bug appears at 2 AM:
“This is a personal attack. I will not sleep until this line of code regrets its existence.”

💻🧃Now running on Redbull and vengeance.

Is it just me or other people too sit to code and then look at the time and suddenly 4 hours have passed? I feel so disoriented at that point of time 😭

Cloudflare outage.

The uptime monitoring we use also uses Cloudflare so we never received any message that there is an outage. Cloudflare is now a single point of failure for the internet.

How to make my copy of Linux genuine?

I couldn't find my Linux product key. Do you know a way to crack the Linux product key?

390.8 MB worth of app just to change the brightness value of a single non-rgb led in my mouse.

To the housemate that wondered into the kitchen at 4am and turned the oven off at the perfect time for the chicken I'd forgotten about, thank you.

Isn’t it funny how you don’t know how to do web, yet your code looks like a user agent string?

Our ex-employee wrote an amazing SQL SELECT-query consisting of 6449 characters. It has 11 JOINS and takes a solid minute to execute.

The table it fetches from has 16 records and the SQL query returns 46857 records and it was production code lmao

TIL json can't encode NaN or +/-inf. wtf!?...

The year is 2057. One IPv4 address costs 1 BTC.

IS YOUR SPIRIT IN THE RIGHT PLACE?!

I feel kind of bad that my cicd workflow sees that message about "{n} packages are looking for funding, run `npm fund` for details" hundreds of times and completely ignores it.

Should I have it run npm fund occasionally just to be nice?

Pro tip: make your tool’s error messages very long, so feeding them into ChatGPT is not financially viable. Then, sell support for your tool.

Spent another 20 minutes blaming my tools when the issue was my fault again. Just wanted to let you friendly folks know.

(Forgot a “CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS” statement because on my other dev box, that database……. Already exists)

Enter BIOS menu
See the option called something like “ionic capacitor discombobulation”
Click “help” near the option to learn what the hell that is
“Enables or disables ionic capacitor discombobulation”
ffs

Seems there is a blackout in the entire country. This is fine!

"Sir, your card got declined"

"First of all, lower your voice"

I had the weirdest job interview in the world. A job that wasn't even considering due to lower compensation than what I am making.

Throughout my career I saw three types of interviews (some times I have 1 & 2, 1&3 or just 2 or just 3 or fail early in 1):

1. HR textbook style: your 3 biggest weaknesses, what would your coworkers describe (I fail most of the time here)

2. People coming to prove a point to you (what happened to me today): Somebody with a clear intention to prove you are stupid and/or lying.. You are guilty until proven innocent style of interaction. They will find one little thing that you read about 15 years ago and zoom in it enough (it takes a 1min read to go over that again) and to them you are stupid and that's it. Generally insecure people do that

3. Tech oriented hiring people: it always goes well even if I don't get hired. Where they focus on the skills that take years to master rather than zooming on something you studied 15 years ago and totally forgot.

The hiring person was in tech presumably for 20 years but I saw 0 important stuff in his github. (I can name and shame if it's allowed here)

Never skip leg day.

How certain can we be, that AI Code Assistants or the companies behind them are "stealing" our proprietary code?

dont recall doing or changing anything to local java 11 install

it's apparently corrupt, i don't see it on my file system either and dont wanna search for it

old existing repositories in intellij don't care and still have syntax highlighting

new repo i downloaded got caught by problem though
