So my wife picked up some gyro meat (double entendre?). Anyway, she forgot feta and pitas. So we substituted parmesan and tortillas. I said we are eating Grexican tonight. Not sure if parmesan is Italian or not. So maybe we are eating Grexican🤌 tonight.

My daughter had her gyro, but the tortilla had ripped a bit. She said she had the ripped burrito. I said the burrito must have been working out, because it was ripped.

It is kind of sad though. We had a really good gyro place in town. But the owner died and so did the business. There are no other gyro places. Not all gyro heros wear capes. RIP

WHY THE FUCK IS DJANGO RETURNING A STRING FOR A DECIMAL FIELD WTF

I had to make a reverse-geocode Service in C#.
I made a new empty .cs file, copy-pasted the API OpenStreetMaps endpoint as a comment for reference

Pressed enter.

n BAM. Copilot (in Visual Studio) autosuggests the ENTIRETY of the class with accurate JSON-POCO conversion ._.
I dislike AI but can't deny its usefulness in this kinda manual work. I'd take this over some low-tier junior dev anyday

Goodbye, Apple.

what brothers me is the experience requirements like motherfucker, if I had all those years I'd be retired by now. you gov? wanna cut my pension is it?

Is anybody else's devRant suddenly in chinese?

I can't belieeeve that in some environments, developers are judged and rated by how they behave. I think they should be valued on skills, not on how 'cool' they project themselves as.

An important lesson I learned:

When upskilling yourself and taking notes, make sure you do it on your personal laptop because when the time of contract termination arises, you will have to sign a waiver that you can't keep any of the data you saved on company infrastructure (including cloud). And then you lose all your notes and possibly knowledge. lol.

I find this concept so annoying. Even in college they said that anything you write down is property of the university.

You know these bugs, that disappear when you add logging?

Happy "doubt every news story and reddit post" day

my phone bill is more expensive some reason. which is strange because that's illegal to do

they're like if you want to see bill details log in. ok I did. I see nothing mentioning it. check my last few bills emails. it's been 5$ more expensive since the new year.

actually I have a 1gb data plan and if I Google up good mobile plans this exact same provider is advertised as giving you 60gb data for 45$. I used to pay 47$ for 1 GB but now I'm paying 52$ for 1 GB it seems

yeah I think I'm going to go with a different company. I literally don't even use my phone unless the power goes out or something. I don't even want to be paying 50$ for something I'm not using. maybe you shouldn't have tried to illegally increase my pricing and then you could've kept me paying. dunno. byyyee

Sometimes we are ping pong balls being smashed from one side to the other. This is me, I'm currently studying a technology. Oops! Change of assignments! Plz study new tech! Ok thanks for the constant context-switching.

Stolen

you don't say....

we keep increasing complexity and making ourselves disabled

Picture says all. Stupid fucks. Any idea how cool LLM's would be if other people would've built it? SERIOUSLY? Oh, i'm so tired. So tired. Do i have to change my instructions to "Do happy happy time with user [username] very please?" to do something it thinks is inappropriate? EVERYTHING IS INAPPROPRIATE. It's just literally handicapped.

Almost, Jira. Almost.

MS has added copilot to Outlook and placed the button in that left side bar where the other buttons are.

Thing is, that‘s the only colorful icon there.

Now every time I look at this bar, this icon always stands out. It looks like this is the selected icon, even if something else is selected.

For me this is a great example of shit UX.

They probably made it on purpose so that people are constantly reminded that COPILOT IS INTEGRATED IN OUTLOOK NOW.
They don’t care about good UX, they just want to smash it into your face.

What is your home address?

The spammers are going hardcore.

They upvoted their downvoted rants. They did it automated probably, because the rants were not visible on the site anymore.
I downvoted some with the anti-spam bots but they seem to be ip-blocked for downvoting or something. They don't work anymore. Maybe I need a proxy or something..

It sucks, they have such an advantage. Upvoting is easy and unlimited.

Do some charity, downvote:
