Shithead manager.

Complaining that I'm a "senior" and he expects more from me (ignore that he's been making that complaint for 3 years and it's only been my job for less than 1)

Now complaining that I'm taking time to teach someone about something that they don't actually need to know.

I'm so fucking done with this job.

At $work, I just learned that a daemon on prod makes an SFTP connection to the same domain every 0.5 to 10 seconds, all day long, every single day. That’s a minimum of 8,640 connections per day!

The senior developer responsible for it had the dev skills of a junior and the management skills of a puppet, but she’s a “disadvantaged minority” and is great at stealing credit and throwing people under the bus. Naturally, she has been given multiple promotions and a team to lead… which she fills exclusively with other Indians, all of them at her skill level or below. (I used to do their code reviews and security reviews.)

When I asked one of the fintech managers (a former dev) about the crazy number of SFTP connections, he said “[Her team] did that intentionally, as it didn’t used to be that way. They must have had a reason” and cut me off.

Okay then.
Not my garden, not my fertilizer.
Just another day weeding the fields in hell.

So many meetings, how could one be lonely

Seems there is a blackout in the entire country. This is fine!

Had to change my dog in my profile. The little black dog died, and I'm grieving pretty hard over it. One dog left, and that's it for me after he's gone. I can't say goodbye to any more puppers.

A colleague used AI to transcript our latest sprint retrospective and now they have in writing the very long list of insults I addressed towards the management. I'm cooked

Advice: Don't use react

So... Android will have a full debian terminal ... Neat 😏

Running a special today. My performance at work will be 40% off

Some doctor dropped a video online that says 1 egg per week (whole egg) can prevent dementia by like 47%. I guess I need to eat more eggs. Doh!

What I don't get it what the 47% actually means. Is this a chance of a person getting something in a population? So lets say the chance of dementia is 10%. Does that mean eating an egg will reduce this chance to 6.3?

After mass downvoting a serial ad spammer, apparently I've lost my downvote privileges and all of my downvotes are removed. Fucking great.

Meanwhile devrant is flooded with 99% spam, nazi trolling, pseudo intellectual conspiracy nonsense and politics.

I‘m tired of this shit.

These are the scopes of knowing if you are stupid.

1. you know your stupid about some things.
2. there are things you don't know about, or that you are stupid about those things. but you can still conceive about these things as not known and that you may be stupid about them.
3. tailgaters, they don't know they are stupid and they don't have the ability to know they are stupid. also these are the people that took life science instead of physics in high school.

I had the weirdest job interview in the world. A job that wasn't even considering due to lower compensation than what I am making.

Throughout my career I saw three types of interviews (some times I have 1 & 2, 1&3 or just 2 or just 3 or fail early in 1):

1. HR textbook style: your 3 biggest weaknesses, what would your coworkers describe (I fail most of the time here)

2. People coming to prove a point to you (what happened to me today): Somebody with a clear intention to prove you are stupid and/or lying.. You are guilty until proven innocent style of interaction. They will find one little thing that you read about 15 years ago and zoom in it enough (it takes a 1min read to go over that again) and to them you are stupid and that's it. Generally insecure people do that

3. Tech oriented hiring people: it always goes well even if I don't get hired. Where they focus on the skills that take years to master rather than zooming on something you studied 15 years ago and totally forgot.

The hiring person was in tech presumably for 20 years but I saw 0 important stuff in his github. (I can name and shame if it's allowed here)

This is a really inspiring recap of Minecraft history. I was disappointed it didn't cover the modding scene. Which is huge and I believe a big part of the success of Minecraft. This narrator is really naive to think Notch is racist. I was really disappointed by that take. Notch refused to go along with the woke crowd (which is cancer). What is funny is the guy claims he had racist tweets. None of the tweets were nonfactual. People want to label hard truths as racist. They are not.

Fun to watch to see where it came from. My big take away was the CEO of a company he worked for encouraged him to pursue his game. So a non dick CEO helped him go after his project. This in turn made this CEO close to, if not a billionaire himself.

Notch spend 10 years go after something. Which changed gaming forever.

Proud owner of a brand new Volkswagen, baked less than a month ago :)))

Lots of touch and tech inside, lots of assisting technologies -- quite a jump from a 2005 Audi a6. You can even track your car in your phone now OOTB :) cool!

3 week ago, I made a post sharing that we got a new marketing guy and my colleague and I have a bet going on if he will last 6 months or not.

He is already fired.

TeamLeader2 is currently attempting to kill a PR I worked on for the past three weeks because -in a listener function- I place a listener and that's supposedly bad practice

I have no idea how to tell him; an event causes the creation of an object -itself an event emitter-, and I want to listen to those events; I can't listen to those events without a listener on those events. There's no middle ground.

Next week, my company decided to create a new app. But they are not sure about which features they all want. So far there is only consensus on a login screen.

They also expect us to learn a new framework/language over the weekend for no extra pay.

And they want the majority of the code to be vibe coded and we don't even have an idea what features we want...

This is going to be a disaster.

I feel like the social good of tech never really came to fruition. Like my local store can probably tell I have poorly managed ADHD from my irregular shopping schedule and caffeine/sugar addiction but all they use this info for is to try to sell me more salty peanuts.

The peanuts are tasty tho ngl

One of our products we are supporting is selling so well. After 3 years, we are averaging 6 installs per month lmao
