At this point, even tho it won’t work out, I’m thankful for getting huge crushes, it is a truly unmatched feeling 😌 and it makes me realize I have emotions. Yayyy

This week I'm doing construction work -- renovating my balcony. Just now I've finished with HTML - hanging drywall ceiling. Tomorrow will start on CSS - putty.

Damn, it's so gooood no not think about computers!

How to create an automatic thing where it creates a github release automatically ? And tags, etc.. ? With dagger engine.

Sayan Mountains...

What I'm naming my son after

I just finished replacing perl's builtin Storable with my own deranged take on it because I wanted to be more efficient about saving and loading snapshots of a VM to disk.

It was a resounding success, of course. But what am I doing with my life?

Sounds weird without context:

Applied to a company and it gave me an automated assessment. Upon opening the link, it asks me to turn on the camera so it can periodically take snapshots of me.

Micromanaging already?

Fuck you.

I found it!!!
The unicorn of nonsensical datetime formatting... In large scale official, current use!

It's actually dd/mm/yyyy !

Cat of the day

This nonsense gave me an idea. Now I want to start building a big, organised, db for good bad examples. I can think of so many uses for it if everything is tagged/categorised well.

Thank you rando LinkedIn reject, you gave me the best birthday gift I could hope for... another potential branch of my data architecture to play with new data in new and to be discovered ways!

The site of the rando is athensnexus.com

why argue when you can just change it to your opinion and make the impression that no other opinion exists and then go find new people to groom so they get used to your way while being none the wiser and then eventually overwhelm the other side of the argument with numbers

Let's make up a story by providing three words per comment.

I'll start: once upon a

Why did the man put his money in the freezer? He wanted cold hard cash!

My department head is shitposting in the company slack on the middle day of a 3 day weekend. I guess it doesn't really count as encouraging overtime because it's not work-related, but come on, does he really have nothing better to do?

Today, I got startled by my own reflection.

Looks like my subscription to devRant++ has just been cancelled in Google Play Store... and it's not posdtble to renew, because the item doesn't exist anymore.
Supported since 2017... now status gone 😐

Cat of the day — mine!

How is the weekend going?

I have a colleague's wedding coming up this weekend. What would you suggest as a marriage gift?

Just find it a good laugh

purity might just be the most important thing when refactoring code you didn't write.

for real, if you purify everything in that code, future refactorings will go way smoother and reasoning even more so.

But it's no easy feat, sometimes you face cockroach code. cockroach code is code written nuke style. The fire and forget code that you shouldn't forget.

cockroach code's easy to spot. you can't know what cockroach code does without reading it's comments. roach code is fat, roach code retro feeds from different spots of macaroni. it does IO and everything else all bundled together.

roach code isn't easy to scratch out its async version. in fact, thats a property of roach code. If you can't make it async without a rewrite, you've got roach code.

Am I the only one who's somewhat creeped out by LinkedIn profiles written in 3rd person?

Writing straight up Java in Jenkins pipelines never ceases making me feel like ive done something horrible :)

Dunno if the feeling is at all justified or not.

Management wants weekly update meetings on some "super important" work. Fine.

But for the past 8 weeks they've been late to the meeting or moved it or cancelled it completely. They keep telling me if I need help, let them know and they will get me the help I need no questions asked.

The one time I ask for help they have done literally nothing.

Glad it is so important to them.

GitHub now

Cat of the day — mine!

Windows XP was just right. A perfect balance of performance and functionality.

Everything less complex feels too impractical, everything more complex feels too uncontrollable.

When using XP, I was confident I could get the job done, yet I knew what every process in the task manager did. It’s not the case with 7, let alone 10/11. I don’t know what happens under the hood there at all. Maybe custom Linux distros qualify too, but they’re unapproachable by laypeople. You have to be a geek to use them effectively.

Windows XP struck just the right balance between functionality, simplicity and compatibility. Too bad the era is gone in favor of opaque surveillance.

Old bitch just cut me off on my bike and almost killed me, we need another boomer remover. They properly fucked this planet already and honestly might start killin them myself.

Modern title inflation is a piece of shit.

Story time: recent hire from MANGA with multiple (!) AWS certificates.

Spent almost the whole day setting up a simple (one DB to another) replication with AWS Database Migration Service.

Never finished, lied that finished and run simple backup-restore.

I spent 15 minutes configuring migration and 30 minutes running full load + started ongoing replication.

The part of "ongoing replication" was done with cronjob + backup-restore.

Knows dogshit.

Overinflated ego, and organization now need to spend time and money to deal with the person.

Attrition continues...

For the past couple of months I am trying to get a job in devops. I have 5y exp.

Suggest me something that actually works unlike junkshit recommendations on the internet.

How can I get a remote job here in India. Even I had remote jobs mostly. I feel I am missing on something this time.

Thanks

Aah just how I like my gpt. Imagine bekng such a huge cuck you start working for Microsoft
