Boss: how is the progress on that?
Me: yeah on that we are running some test cases😅

Goes on teams, since it got shoved down my throat because everyone has to use this malware. Might at least clock around to see what free shit it has to offer.

Oh cool, visio? Thats the architecture diagramming tool isnt it? Thats perfect I could use it for my presentation, let me just drag this UML class...

YoU HaVe DiScOvErEd A PrEmIuM FeAtUrE! BuY ViSiO NoW!!

Sometimes, I wish the times of companies simply barring you from access completely to come back. Freemium is the worst bullshit piece of shit business model ever.

ever since i lost my whore blonde ex all i do is gooning and shitting so now i stink on cum and shit all day (i don't shower anymore cause i showered only to smell good for whores)

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I would send you all Hawk Tuah coin, but I just spent my bonus shopping for ungrateful people. Okay, they aren't ungrateful, just unappreciative.

Anyway, gonna try and avoid devrant for probably a week.

And for you other assholes: Happy Festivus!

Sometimes during my coding raids the psytrance hits so hard I feel it triggers some reaction in my adderall intoxicated brain. Feels like i could split space with my focus

It's funny how beginner programmers think you can step into the industry and coast by on using established algorithms, thinking they will never need expert knowledge themselves.

A few years into the industry and I have realized that when it comes to highly customized requirements and you need to write and test complex algorithms yourself, that's when you better have your expert knowledge backing you up because aside from A.I. assistance, nothing is going to help you.

Oh, how complex it can get. I've had to think about rethinking entire architectures that gave me weeks of real headache, algorithms that required the deepest fine-tuning, tree traversion, generics, interfaces, extension methods, factory, singleton, decorator, facade, etc.

In short, you better know your way around the language you are programming in. You also need to know your algorithms and optimizations because when things are black box to you, that's not a good feeling.. especially not when people are relying on your expertise. The real world is complex and thus we model its complex models.

Testing smth, nothing to see here!

Guess the app of this musical tone:

"tud-du, tu, tud-du, tudum-tum,.. tud-du, tu, tud-du, tu, tu, tododom, tom :)"

I fucking hate December.

In Russian army, they have this funny tale:

“There is no better vagina
Than the asshole of your comrade
Yes, it smells worse,
But it for sure is tighter!”
In Russian language, everything rhymes perfectly.

Original:
Лучше нет влагалища
Чем очко товарища
Пусть и пахнет хуже,
Зато входит туже!

Is devRant Losing Its Spark?

Hey ranters,
Anyone else notice how quiet devRant has become? Back in 2016-2017, this place was buzzing with energy, but now it’s down to just 10-12 rants a week. What happened? Did competition from platforms like Reddit or Discord take over, or did devRant stop evolving?

I still believe this platform has huge potential—developers will always need a space to vent and connect. But without fresh ideas or a clear roadmap, it feels like devRant is fading.

To the creators: what’s the plan? To the community: do you feel the same? Let’s discuss!

A concerned dev.

Anyone in NL have any good suggestions for finding job? Currently, I'm working at a software house doing fullstack (node + python) + mobile (android + react-native 🤮), generally one of the 2 categories per project. I do have ~10 years of experience. Currently, I'm all the way at the German border, I'm up for moving, especially if it gets me near people I can actually talk tech to (even to another country, but I only know Dutch and English fluently).

I do get offers on LinkedIn with one semi-success, but it came with several strings attached (e.g. can't find a new job with in 80 km kind of stuff).
Game dev has always been a hobby-wanna-go-pro thing for me, so I want those to be excluded from any type of “you made this in your free time, well, it's ours now” contracts.

Part of me wants to go into the game's industry because that's what I've always wanted (it just didn't exist back where I lived outside of gambling/shitty mobile games). I'm crazy enough to like C++ but with the current toxic culture in the game's industry, I wish to avoid it at the same time (+ just being exhausted all the time makes me think I wouldn't be able to keep up in the beginning).

Which makes me think I should rather go for “saving for the future” but the passion I had to just sit and programming seems to have 404ed🥲

My mind has been Ouroborosing on which way to go unfortunately as well

I moved back a couple of years ago largely unplanned timing wise, for a couple of reasons (safety and family mostly, the whole reason/process would take a while to explain). Which means I couldn't start to get things organised until now, including re-doing my driving license since I'm not allowed to convert it since I missed out on the 30% ruling (and my “old” country's license isn't good enough).

I am monitoring my behavior per hour based on key logger data. I summarize it using AI. It gives some nice compliments about advanced shortcut usage and positive indications about me. It also tells you what applications you're using and what languages you program.

It's all fun and games until:

This is followed by navigating to a website (xhmaster.com), possibly suggesting a break or a shift in activity.

well, that's one way to put it.

so, i tried following @ghost on daily.dev but there was no follow button so i did some reverse engineering and api fckery, all in 10 minutes. then got a whole ass undocumented api error code just for mr @ghost saying I can’t follow it. Then, the one follower before me: a daily.dev employee who probably admin abused and went into the database and followed to flex. when we all know, they suck. and they put such low effort into following such a rare account, then furthermore restricting others from doing it so he can be the only one. crazy. I wish I could do this: The exact opposite of what he did. Instead of denying following to one single account on daily.dev, allow anti-following (and deny following) one single account on daily.dev, which account to do that to? The employee who did this and their daily dev account… Anti-following in my idea is basically publicly saying “I hate you with a passion” on daily.dev. So, there. And since he made a custom api code restricting following the @ghost account, I’ll make a custom API code when trying to anti-follow another account or follow his: 3714957 (translating to “f…you” from old telephone language, if you’re confused, take each letter from the original word, get the number in the alphabet from the start it’s in. then divide it by 3. you’ll get a result close to each letter I made in that api code.) So yeah, nice day today. F. ck graphql and overprivileged employees. Ever heard of principle of the least privilege daily.dev CEO? I bet you give interns root. I regret signing up there. Peace :]

Behold, the most American sentence ever uttered:
“Never sue a freedom-loving n*gga with a big-ass gun.”

Gotta make it a bumper sticker for my Ford F-350!

So I'm brushing my teeth, and mama slams the door open. She says oh sorry, I thought the bathroom was empty. I say it's ok, I'm just brushing my teeth. But K'BYBIB, mama.

What? K'BYBIB? What are you speaking in? Hebrew or aramaic?
No. English. It's an acronym: Knock Before You Burst Into (a) Bathroom.

A very simple rule, that everyone should follow. But a few days later, the exact same thing happens, and I repeat the advice, knowing I must've said this to her about a hundred times already.

On another occasion, she gets up from the dinner table in a hurry, then *almost* trips and falls to the ground. Her feet got stuck on the chair. Anyway she's fine. But I see this happen and say be careful mama, get up slowly or you could fall. Free your feet before you try to start walking.

Same pattern as before, she doesn't listen. So it happens again, and thankfully she also doesn't trip this time, but the problem is obvious. She may fall one day, or worse God forbid, and we can't be there at all times to make sure she doesn't get hurt.

This is constantly on my mind. Nothing serious has happened yet. Emphasis on "yet". Seems like a matter of time, and I hate to say it, but I don't think I can stop this. Mama doesn't have any disabilities, she just has to be more careful, but refuses to listen. So yeah. I'm only stressing and that's that, God willing.

Imagine you're a dude chilling in Eupen in 1914 and suddenly the germanist army starts to bomb you because a guy got shot in sarajevo and france is friend with russia.

You have a border with france, retards, go attack them

Another weird property of the devRant API:

For every POST request the url parameters need to be passed in the http body instead of in the URL, like this:
app=3&user_id=42

Wtf why?

if I figured it out before how could I delete it?!

what if I don't figure it out again?!

Communism: you have two cows. The state takes both and gives you milk for free. Then, the state sells one cow overseas for a bull, breed cows and get everyone unconditional free milk.

Capitalism: you have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. You start breeding cows and selling milk. Then, Nestle comes and makes you go out of business.
