Wtf is up with some education providers? Even the de facto industry leaders have half-assed courses. Not many are super high quality. They sound like they are speaking into a mic, forced to do it. Nothing like YouTube, more like middle-aged, depressed men with no life with no energy. I'd much rather learn elsewhere. This is akin to how some university professors give some lectures. Where are the passionate teachers of our world?

The ones that I enjoyed were: MIT, Harvard and Stanford. Perhaps it has to do with money. lol.

I think HR is the first role that could truly be replaced by an LLM.

Tech is getting lazier. I think it started with showing you countless ads for things you just bought and now it's not bothering to even give good music reccomendations.

We're the problem.

when you donate your body to science in the US, it may legally be used as a dummy to test weapons.

I think GDPR is a pain in the ass but my employer has lied to my doctors about my medical information so suddenly I really like GDPR.

I finished Hogwarts Legacy. This game had so much potential, but was an ultimate disappointment.

Hi guys, I just joined...
I hope we have fun...😅

Challenge for today: tell someone who micromanages that they are micromanaging and see what happens! I never saw our politically, culturally, morally, vibe'ly correct HR lady lose her shit so much :D funny how someone drops all masks when something vulnerable gets touched

Apparently I'm now a suspect in a criminal case. I would have commited identity theft between 2007 and 2025.

Except no, I didn't lmao I'd be richer.

Tbh, ostream is a nice guy. Once you get over his

- Racism towards Germans
- Racism towards Jews
- Closeted racism towards anyone, really
- Psychotic episodes of rage
- Borderline criminal tendencies
- Bipolar disorder

It's actually fun to talk to him. You have to invest time and patience though.

Love you ostream bro.

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.

I need a polite way to ask someone if they're brain damaged.

For fuck's sake, management is now asking us to provide data converted in % as to how genAI is actually making us more efficient as developers. How the fuck do you even measure that empirically?

It is already BS enough that they track how much we query these AI tools everyday in our development environments, but now they want genAI to produce most of the code templates in our SDK. It can barely produce a working regex or a working python script, let alone a small piece of code that won't stack overflow itself into oblivion. It sometimes takes more time to debug and refactor than to do it myself from scratch.

They ask for our professional opinion, we tell them, they don't give a fuck about it, proceed to think all is rainbows and unicorns, and still ask us the same moronic things as if they were the new messiah's on earth.

Don't get me wrong, genAI can be useful, but why the fuck does management think it will magically solve all our problems when they don't even understand how it works even on the surface.

The only thing that would make sense is a lot of them got money at stake in some AI investment sales pitch bullshit and they try to jam it up our collective throats because otherwise they will loose their investments like there is no tomorrow.

Fuck all of this, I just want to do engineering and build something useful to society. Is it too much to ask?

Manager: Keep the debug logs
Me: I won't use them as I use the status report or run it manually to see the problem, but fine whatever.

1 week later

Manager: the debug logs are hard to read, the status report is hard to read too but it's a bit more concise
Me: Yes. The fuck you want me to do? I don't use logs and don't care. You can write code, make the logs more useful to you if you want to use them.

how are vampires real

also whoops

FUCKING WHOOPS

I did not expect to pick a fight with fucking magically enabled people

I have no idea what they can do. I am at such a disadvantage. fuck.

I have regrets. these people have fucking drama. like discord-level drama. with trolling and shit. but it's your life energy. what are you doing! something just tried to eat me for like 20 minutes and I did not like it. I did not learn shielding. my aura seemed to have contracted by itself but this is so unnatural to me

seriously how the fuck are vampires real. it's not a metaphor. how the fuck

Running is good for sleep. I wish my lungs weren't fucked, but I ran anyway.

Cotton in German is Baumwolle, which is literally "tree wool".

My team mate is so fucking bad that I use his mistakes as interview questions for internship positions. So I really make sure I don't have a second Ouistiti in my team.

Video generation in comfy is 2x faster if you use sage attention. The install process is not for the faint of heart and if you can manage it, you will have earned your much faster AI slop generation machine.

This is the guide I used

If you use conda, deactivate it before doing the installation. It will cause conflicts.

Tired of everything.

My daughter: "why don't you want to do a pinkie promise?"

Me: "because promises have been supported natively for like ten years now."

My project mananger let it slip during the sprint review that the upper managers are making plans to do lay offs / cut the fat.

What an ideal moment to hand in my resignation.

My colleague thought process became the average of all possible existing LLMs. He has perplexity, ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor open on different tabs every time I go check on him. He is literally performing majority vote on all possible LLMs -> he basically stopped thinking.

We are refactoring the core feature of our unique selling point of our backend that all our products use.

And our product manager just decided that we will roll it out on Wednesday and we will not do any tests. r/whatcouldgowrong

Me, reading random wikipedia:

A boutonnière (French: [bu.tɔ.njɛʁ]) or butthole (British English) is a floral decoration, typically a single flower or bud, worn on the lapel of a tuxedo or suit jacket.

Wait, that can't be right

butthole.
buttonhole.

OOOOOH

My twelve years old daughter saw me using an eletric mixer to puree potatoes, instead of the potato smasher.
She screamed: "You're using AI! That's cheating!"

When did "AI" replaced "Automation"?!?!
It's just like "woke", the word is meaningless now.

I'm working w/ idiots.

Since a week ago, builds have started being bundled w/ this interesting folder called 'DeleteBeforeSubmission'.

Immediately mentioned the problem, but no action has been taken thus far. Sure, they might !care whether it is bundled or !. If whoever submits the builds for release manually removes those folders prior to submitting the game - fine.

Thing is... the shit is heavy. Depending on the platform, it's ~~500 MB up to some ~~2 GB on top of the actual size of the build. So, apart from our NAS storing garbage, people have to download unnecessarily larger files.

But hey - why do something about it. It's fine, right?

Quote of my CEO today: "We are never going to get an other lawyer as customer... Only problems!"

Imagine our users knowing their rights, such a shame.

God, i fucking HATE tech that involves running it through legal!
