Here's how I describe my workplace:
- a mid dev that will stay mid forever
- a senior but with junior skill
- a mid but actually a junior
- a verbose dev, people having rough time trying to understand her because her explanation is always blown up
- a PM without enough technical skill
- a dev with personality like a moody teenager
- a contractor but acting like a customer

Did I miss anything? 🤔

I'm back baby

SHITPOSTING is an anagram of TOP INSIGHTS

So Google’s Gemini API challenge is currently ongoing and I am looking for idea suggestions.

- The goal is to create an AI enabled platform for web or mobile with Gemini API integration.
- The idea is expected to be unique or creative (unique ideas are favored so I heard)
- I found out the last winner of Google’s Dialogflow competition created a Mobile app for the elderly that provides screen flow guide on usage of some of Google’s product (ie: Youtube, Gmail, Drive etc.). This is just an idea guide and I see why such would win. It’s not a must requirement.

The final code will be open source and surely would credit the original idea owner. I need your ideas fellow devranters. What AI enabled app do you think have the best chance of winning this challenge? I have some time to spare on this one.

I totally not have a code due for tomorrow and I am totoally not chilling on devrant with chips.

I came to the abandoned stock exchange to scour the ground for valuables left behind by dead brokers who killed themselves here. Watches, golden lighters, jewelry — all wanted to no one. I didn't care about where they came from. I was okay with wearing an old watch that I pulled off a skeleton hand.

Brittany had been missing for a while now. She lost custody of her kids, but everyone knew that was because Lake Mead turned them into calcified sculptures that got progressively tinier and tinier. Her though? Not so much. She was crying while fiddling with Lego-sized figurines of what was her children. “I don't care what anyone else says, I'm gonna make it right for you, because I FUCKING have a PURPOSE!”
The detached palm of my once school friend gripped mine. Couldn't get it off with force, so I stuck it you know where — I think he was disgusted, but his palm ran away quickly.
Another friend — uni friend now — was interested in making as much gesheft as he could during the semester. He had it on his reel-to-reel recorder. He didn't want to share his insights, but $500 made him talk. He was disgusted, though, as bills had my saliva on them. In exchange, I got the ability to pump whatever music I liked in the lecture room, as it was now mine. I didn't have to study — I already had a job. My uni was my coworking.
The last floor featured the room of nineteen Neins — a foot buttons that, when pressed in the correct order — will reveal the rape bathroom. It was huge and outdoorsy.

I was arguing on Twitter (obvious mistake) with an idiot who insisted nobody says "assembly" because the language is called "assembler". I told him assembler is used to refer to the program that converts assembly instructions to ELF, and that referring to the language as assembly is common, and it's even used in the gcc documentation.
His response below. I gotta say this sums up 90% of my interactions as a female engineer and researcher....

I was tone policed and constructively dismissed from my tech lead role.

I found a new whisper in your tech, and now your razor won’t work because of vague religious propaganda.

"Do I look pregnant?"
- Male coworker

And yes... He did look pregnant

i need someone to talk to. just chill talk nothing too special. discord anyone?

Life Update 6th June '24:

Naps are a thing now. I need more of those. I need all the naps. I'll come over to your house and steal your naps if I have to. I can't seem to get enough,

MORE NAPS !!!!!!

Whoever invented the "conversation view" in email clients, hopefully they don't die of anything boring.

Sooner or later, you'll need a VPN access to get an accurate information within the US. The population is fat from garbage food, and now they will be fat in retardness from their media.

Some startup clients have the most bizarre ideas in terms of tech stack and expects us to pull if off!

Cows of the day.

P.S Don't even think about what I think you're thinking about

soooo I'm browsing Netflix, searching where to submerge the remaining of my brain this evening, looking for smth apocalyptic. And the Netflix's sorting algo gives me this.

Keep breathing. Oxygen missing. Don't breathe.

Is this a sign? I mean, it must be some sort of a sign. What's it mean... It can't be just a sheer coincidence.

Any recommendations for a good note taking tablet?
I want to be able to write and sync notes with syncthing. Digitization would be a good plus.
And read notes, papers, books. Not necessarily bought on the device.

Is Remarkable the holy grail?

What's the weirdest thing you've ever heard from a coworker?

"I gotta shit with urgency"

doing things right seems to be a waste of time

especially considering how fast things change beneath you

for years I've said I should just stop overoptimizing but I've yet to fucking try it. I said this to myself 5 hours ago and what am I doing. I spent the last 5 hours trying to overoptimize for a theoretical scenario that I won't ever even be in, because I haven't even decided what I want to immediately do

how about immediately do something Jesus fuck
next Tuesday this system will have to be rewritten again anyway

how many fucking asset loading systems do I want under my belt
just load the fucking assets

maybe decide on which assets you'll be using first so then you don't overoptimize for "WELL MAYBE ILL LOAD THEM INDIVIDUALLY THEN PUT THEM IN A NICE IMAGE IN RAM FIRST BEFORE I SEND IT OFF TO THE GPU" omg just shut up. just because you can doesn't mean you should. doesn't help everyone using this thing keeps insisting you do it this way. but you don't fucking need to.

actually you know what, I blame them. they kept confusing me with yOu ShOulD do It ThiS WAY. next thing I know I'm walking through every possible conceivable way to do asset loading so I can decide how to load assets and then end up in architecturizing of the perfect system. I didn't want to be on this path. but they told me to be on this path. I blame them

take-away: if you can make it work at all, just use that unless it breaks something. fuck how or for "what" the dumb system is designed. people don't stick to their "designs" anyway -- it's idealism just like free stuff sounds great in theory, but in reality it just shits up everything because it's unrealistic

Anyone else still wear one of these?

Yall know else if()
Now get ready for else while()

Check out my current scenario:

I have to show some progress in fixing a bug to management in the morning..

I tried to sleep early, so that I cud fix it before the standup..

but I couldn't sleep, so I thought of fixing the issue now itself..

Sat down to fix, got stuck with a stupid blocking issue, did all the wrong things to debug it, wasted 3 hours, found the issue fix (not related to the main bug at all)

nd now going to sleep..

It's like:
Distance covered = 1000kms
Displacement = 0!!!!

the internet was so good before corporate interests took everything over and made it garbage

before you found real people, instead of shills
real hobbies, instead of someone wanting to sell you knockoff shit by pretending to have information on your hobby
real information, instead of stupid politics which pretend information doesn't exist and keep changing Wikipedia pages or brigading forums with spam or reporting websites or servers as violating rules to remove innocent people and ruin their shit

before you could find tools and use them
and there were no ads
even when there were ads they were just banner ads where you got free iPods and maybe a virus
but they didn't subscribe you to their service monthly and then play psychological tricks on you so you couldn't cancel
even when the popups came we had popup blockers, and the web browsers were on our side and made the feature widespread and viewed the popups as malicious, and now the world's biggest ad company serves the most popular "open source" browser and is in a war against usability because they have to display their brain malware ads to you or else

and you'd get excited to get an email, instead of annoyed it's more fucking corporate spam you don't want from a random website that required you to give your email address so you could've bought a trinket for your friend Bob's birthday that one time and now their subscriber list keeps "forgetting" you unsubscribed

phones have a billion sensors but the app stores are so infested with bullshit none of it matters
it's all rot
everything is starving and making your life worse

we used to do so much with so little
and now we have so much and leave it all on the table to throw poop at each other

don't forget that brigade science tells you nostalgia is you remembering something to be better than it was. be gaslit. webpages disappear now, too. they get changed. archive.org has the records, and got DDoSed the other day. I knew this day would happen. everyone who lies would love for there to be no archives, no records. to burn the modern books

alright, so I'm seeding the DB with a 4GB SQL dump through a k8s port-forward across the world (behind the pond), port-forwarded through socat (a bastian container).

What are the chances I'll succeed? :D
