New year, new salary. My mind doesn’t comprehend the total world of difference between the toxic environment i was in, and the positive place i’m at now.

Most expensive thing you ever bought?

I think I just bought about 20 seconds of relevant audio recordings for over 300€ 🙃

But hey, the virtual car has to sound good or whatever... totally not a painful investment...

Lady next door was visiting me. She is 67. She is a kinda psychologist and she needed a new site. With her just sitting here, i generated one with gpt and explained her html a bit. The instructions are as follow:
- if you add a page, duplicate the other page and remove the text you don't want. Do not remove html unless it's around content what you don't use anymore.
- learned her how to copy a href and change the link.

So, first, she asked me for a website. The last thing I want is somebody's website in maintenance or even work on it. Making "beautiful"/commercial sites is not my hobby.

Now, for 1,80 per month she has a domain name (i asked if it will have SSL, that's still bit unclear) and 1,- hosting per month. I think it can be even cheaper. It doesn't support php/python and stuff.

TLDR; i gave someone a HTML site generated in 5 minutes, tried a few style sheets and she was happy with it. Bye bye designers :P No one cares! Also full responsive.

can't beat human

no man, I can't rebase, I don't work for you anymore

happy new year 2025! 🎇🎆

Here’s to a better 2025!

Where y'all working at today?

New baby girl 🥰

Worryingly, at 4:04pm.

Testing smth, nothing to see here!

Once upon a time we had the idea for a Europe meetup.
I suggest sometime in August next year. (Is 9 months prior enough time for you to plan?)
I also suggest Amsterdam cuz it's easy to reach for most.

Any takers?

Ah, shit. First, I get downvoted a bunch, by a rogue jester bot I assume, then the retoornuke goes off, and with her account, even more of my hard-earned updoots lost into the ether.

How is this important? It isn't. I'm merely annoyed. Needed only a couple more to get myself a pet, I was so fuckin close maan. Now I need about 60 again, so not too bad actually, but if you see me shitposting at an increased pace, then you know why.

Instead of age++, I now do lifetime--;

ohno I think I'm finding things rust is easier and better at than JavaScript now that I'm back on javacript

the calamity!

granted I can get a lot more done in a shorter amount of time

Free at last! I quit my soul sucking job from these demon bosses. I’ll use use this opportunity now to become a freelancer. Any tips for the German market would be greatly appreciated!

I'm tired, I have nausea, my head hurts, my nose is clogged, my boss isn't happy, I'm marrying in 5 days from now, nothing is ready.

Well, the rant is because I have to go to Madrid twice a month, which is annoying.

But now I'm writing your GPU drivers, bitches 😂.

More concretely, for those who may care, gonna work in HLSL to spir-v conversion.

"Scientists discover the world that exists; engineers create the world that never was"

I've come to love this quote. We, the engineers, are shaping the world. We have the tools, knowhow and expertise to move mountains.

I said it before years ago and I'll say it again: all the other roles are meant to assist us, not the other way around. We don't work for managers, sales dept., bosses. They can't do shit without us. Why do we need them? To buy us toys, to sell our creations and suggest us how to shape our creations to make a better sell.

Quit slaving if you feel you are a professional. Quit bending over to sales' and mgmt nonsense timelines and demands. Hear them out, consider their concerns and give them YOUR estimates and approaches.

WE are the power of creation. THEY work for us. Not the other way around.

Does not apply to juniors. They are still learning their way around

Serverless.

This is where your Lambdas run

I never expected embedded Linux to be this performant boot wise. On a Cyclone V HPS (800Mhz, Coretex A7) the entire system boots in 3s. Thats from power on to a shell in userspace. And it uses like 40MB of SD-Card Space. The entire speed gets throuwn out the window as soon as you use systemd. Then it takes like five times as long. I kinda want to explore this further in the future by addin LCD support with a desktop environment and get some numbers for that. Currently very happy with the results.

have a break, have a pancake! home made, hand made ( no robots were harmed during the process ), eastern european ( balkan ) style

LinkedIn: You have one notification!!!!

Me: What is it?

LinkedIn: 10 types of horses that make your more employable if you don't fuck them

Me: What

LinkedIn: 10 types of h-

Me: No, I heard you, why did you send me a notification about this?

LinkedIn: You want a job, don't you?

Me: Yes, but don't send me this type of notification again.

LinkedIn: Updated your preferences!

The nefarious LinkedIn, two days later: You have one new notification!!!!!!

I have a cold. I'm dying. 🤧🤧🤧

I just switched to void from arch, dunno why. It is really cool and has runit. And XBPS is actually 3x faster than Pacman. And I have 1Gb of ram, Arch used 950Mb BSPWM, Void 300 with XFCE.

Really a good distro

Windows: "works, but..."
Linux: "doesn't work, but..."

Potential client once asked for a clone of Amazon, for $5000, in one month. I did not take the project.

If you ever feel useless and irrelevant, just remember that people like @JestDotty exist.

Ads are intentionally produced litter.

I hate that services think that just because you sign up for their service (even just to use once - such as a job board or something) they have permission to send you unlimited, unsolicited marketing emails.

If I found the original creator of such a practice, I would waterboard them with vodka.
