Markdown syntax is ambiguous and always forgiving (any text in a markdown document is valid markdown). Syntax is complicated and context-dependent.

I honestly think it might be one of the trickiest languages to parse.

Have you ever applied for a job and then spiraled after a few days of not hearing anything back?

Me too! 🙄😭😭😭

Oh china... just when I was so exhausted and annoyed at you... cuz i got behind and had to grind purchase/logistics/china-rel bs, to get necessities complete before your 2wks being MIA for chinese new year.

BUT THEN...

You had brought me this comedic gold in the midst of my sourcing woes!

Whoever points out my favourite 'precaution' first, wins.

...it's very rare that I say this, especially with my linguistics and algorithmic knowledge and exp making me easily peeved here...

But seriously, even Google trans with 0 knowledge of english, wouldve done better on most of these.

Told you I'll be back

Hi i am a new member. Nice to meet you all

Overall worst part of being a Software Dev? Really, really loving it. How could that be a bad thing you ask? Because people, in general, in life, do not want you to code. Managers, family, kids, colleagues, they all want your attention, they all want to yap at you, they all abhor seeing you concentrate at a screen. In short, they just can't leave you the fuck alone to do what you trained yourself so hard for. Best one of all is being hauled up on a daily basis for an hour to answer "How can we go faster!?" IDK maybe just let me do my thing? So fucking frustrating. If you don't recognise this and have all the time in the world, feel blessed, for you are free.

ROSS ULBRICHT IS NOW A FREE MAN.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

PACK YOUR BAG. MOVE TO MONGOLIA.

FUCK USA.

Which car is smart like a Tesla but uses gas?

Say what you want about spaghetti code written by either you yourself or other people, dealing with it is a massive requirement for becoming a dev.

Officially banned from 3 social networks. Reddit, Facebook, X.
I don't really mind but
I might need a neural link to moderate my thoughts before letting people know how idiotic their posts are.

what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck

Has anyone else started a new job with the promise of interesting work, just to end up spending all their time writing e2e tests for crap code written 5 years ago by a contractor who clearly couldn't give 2 shits?

I have a new dev tool I'd like feedback on. Specifically for mobile developers. My tool is called PixelPrep. It's a tool to help stream line the resizing of App Store images to fit all of the diff App Store requirements. Goole, Apple, Windows, Amazon, ect. So, I would love it if you could test it out and give me feed back, thanks! Right now, I only have Google working. Thanks!

Got a child. Little under a year old.
We go to a little baby group nearby. We visit it from time to time. Just like 6 different babies there.

One baby has brown eyes. Mommy and daddy have blue eyes. Oh...

Next baby is blonde. Mommy is blonde. Daddy is blonde. Someone commented, that blonde was very likely with mommy and daddy. She said, no, her mother-in-law is black haired. She proves it by saying, her oldest son has black hair.... Oh....

Out of 6 parents pairs, we had 2 cheating. 1/3. And for the other 4, well, we only ever met the mother and they have not told us anything about their husbands.

This leads me to only one conclusion: People are terrible in high school level genetics. I know, it is not 100% correct, there are special cases and exceptions. But it it 99% correct.

To quote Rex Harrison: "This is what the British population calls an elementary education."

I'm thinking about quitting my job and becoming a streamer

im trying to cut down on my digital ocean bill and have a few small freelance websites, im paying 15$ a month for a mysql db and kinda feel ripped off

i know mongodb atlas offers mongo for free, does any service offer mysql for free and would you recommend using it for a clients website?

It's 2025.
We still have MSSQL with compatibility level set to 100 (matches the version from 2008).
We still have random downtime or issues with timeouts thanks to parameter sniffing.

Update? No that's expensive and doesn't provide more cashflow (ecommerce-ish).
'I just have to make better code'.

I need to finally learn CMAKE at some point
I've been using make for many years now and it's good enough for me so I never bother with trying CMAKE but I can't be lazy forever

So, StackExchange has renamed Luigi Mangione's profile. Not a complete removal as of yet, it seems.

So if I am even accused of a crime, they're gonna remove my scientific publications and contributions?

Like idgaf about the guy, but how's this not censorship? How's this any better than burning certain books? (I'm going out on a limb here, but you get the idea)

Fucking hell! Why is it so hard to just create a simple websocket!
C#: Yeah, you should use ASP.Net with SignalR! But heres a totally undocumented mess of a lib to get it to work. J.k. Deadlock!
Rust: async while let OK((some)) = ws.create.unwrap_or_else().suckadick()
Why the fuck is Rust so fucking dense! I want one line that means one thing! If I would compress my code with gzip it would be less information dense than this!
Zig: Yeah, Its in Beta and shits semi stable. Atleast i got it to work? Nope!

I've ben fussing aound with these three Languages for more than a week now and can say: Just use an established way to webdev. Its not worth it to try and make it as simple as possible!

Swift does some things really well, but then falls flat in others. Why is polymorphic JSON decoding/encoding such a pain?
In Kotlin, it's a breeze to support multiple object types.

How to Install Gogs Git on Ubuntu 24.04: In Just 8 Steps

I don't remember the Netflix show name, but it was cyberpunk and animated. From the show, I find this idea very interesting.

Put prisons behind an API. And use it for various tasks that require intelligence. There you go, we solved the AI problem.

But I wonder say we're using it for a self-driving, the prisoner just deliberately crashes it.

This is how you grow your web app indefinitely:
1. Strip the codebase of all frameworks
2. Ban DRY principle. Don't reuse the code, period.
3. When feeling the urge to write a unit test, refactor the code instead.
4. When seniors “discover” a new “paradigm” that applies to the codebase and want to make a framework, rotate them.
5. Profit!

This was few years ago, I was an intern in the company (first job I ever had). After few months of fiddling around stuff (haven't yet touched a production project). We landed a 'high priority' project.

We were told by the client (A multinational company) that they had a contract that fell through with another software house and the app is already made they just need to integrate it inside their main app instead of having it a separate app.

We were like, okay, and we made sure that everything will stay the same (APIs, Feature flows, etc). My managers gave it an estimate of two months.

And after a couple of weeks they started changing everything (APIs, flows, design, ALL OF IT) and they insisted we meet the deadline. It was a project for a multinational telecom company so it had payments, features for user's consumption and a shit-ton of other features.

At some point I was the only developer working, had to pull more than 16 hours a day to meet the deadline but we did.

I was in my fourth year of college as well. It was crazy.

May not be the craziest deadline overall, but for sure was the craziest deadline for me to meet.

Edit: Oh and after all of that it was never released bc of "financial reasons"

Very excited to announce I've started another project I will never finish

I finally finished up my post on Bibilobunny, my book note extraction tool for Kindle and Play Books:
