Does anyone else here have coding-fatigue?
Like if someone gives me a problem (BIG or small), I can chalk out an architecture or "oh you can use this-n-this-n-this"
But if you ask me to code it, though it's easy as fuck, I dont want to and will drag it until I gush 2 coffees to force myself to do it.
You give me a junior dev who knows NOTHING and does the typing and I can guide him and make him do it all, but by myself? nah
PS: this only applies to work-code that isnt "fun" per-se. My own projects? no issues at all6 -
I offered a girl sex to cycle to the supermarket and get a pizza. She offered the same to me. Apparently we're both whores and nobody is getting sex or pizza. What an outcome10

Fuck, today was a total shitshow. Every damn line of code I touched seemed to blow up in my face. Fucking bugs popping up left and right, and the deadline looming over my head like a goddamn guillotine. Today my wife mentioned divorce over dinner.4

Has modern day development become all rabbit holes all the time?
Seems that way to me. Tired of it.1 -
What should I do to solve my deep hatred of the LGTBQ people?
It's just everything is pushing this agenda heavily recently. Population control? More gays less babies?
I want to not care but it's hard.37 -
Realtors are fucking goons.You find something online to rent. You call them to have a look around. Nah you need to fill out the online form for that. Same person responds in an Email: "You need to contact the current tenant under xxxxx for a visit" The online ad and that would be atleast 5k. Good luck ever making that back with someone who moves again in like 8 months. Thank god I dont have any real estate! Can't afford it anyways.1

I think we should have nicknames for people who never went to school for coding/developing, here are some names I'm thinking:
"Analog Junkies"
"Tech Illiterates"
"Manual Laborers"
"Tech Relics"
"Old-School Luddites"
"Digital Dunces"
"Technophobes"
"Non-Techies"
"Primitive Users"
Let me know if you have any other ideas9 -
I sent a recruiter my CV as a PDF file. They replied that they need it as a Word document. They must be joking, right? I always use my website's reader view to generate an updated CV by saving it as a PDF which contains text and images in accessible format. So it can't be hard to convert to Word?
I just installed Microsoft Edge on Linux, because I heard that Edge can save websites as Word documents. It can't. At least not on Linux, using the print or the save as dialog.
I don't even know what to tag this rant. Those people must be making fun of me. What are they supposed to do with a fucking Microsoft Word document? Make sure that the layout gets broken and the content truncated when forwarding it internally?2 -
Why is it so hard to make friends with other developers?
Nobody understands how hard it is to sit on my ass all day while my wife complains about the lack of attention I give her. Anyone else relate?3 -
Anytime I see someone put "future" and "AI" in the same sentence, all I can think of is spambots advertising crypto scams, or scams promising to recover the money you as an idiot lost to a crypto scam, or a betrayed lover who utilized our premium haxor services to confirm that their spouse did in fact suck off the entire Wu Tang clan.
To which I conclude: what future? It's even worse than regular advertising and much more expensive, a regression in nearly every way.4 -
Currently trying to make newer C++11 code run on a gcc 4.8 compiler. Also making Qt 5 code run on Qt 4.8. Enabling experimental flags on gcc like std=c++1y and turning on flags to turn off complaints about pre c++11 code. Have my cake and eat it too. My favorite so far it to create a proxy object so I can connect lambdas to Qt signals. This is supported in Qt 5, but not Qt 4. I feel like I am traveling back in time to when stuff was shittier standards wise.3

The final verdict is out. After almost 3.5 years im getting fired. Im relieved because i’ve been expecting this already since december. No matter how hard i try my mistakes aren’t excepted anymore.
Good thing there are three other companies i have interviews with.
Let’s hope for a new offer and smooth transition soon!7 -
The internet says "containers are the holy grail, it's cross-platform and you can run your images and get the same result everywhere"
The practice says: nope... it doesn't do thatrant containers architecture os myth cross-platform theory ordering practise filesystem devops platforms8 -
Why did the developer go broke?
Because he used up all his cache!
