For everyone out there battling with any severe addiction, I hope you bounce back and never fall again.

Cat of the day. Ostream said I should call it Dumbo because of the big ears

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

I wish I had the balls to do what I want in life without being scared from my wife, or from someone, or from some rule.

Basically

I think Im subconsciously planning my suicide. I already abandoned close relatives and friends. I refuse to work or apply for Jobs. I am lazy and spontaneous. Im back on drugs. I take unnecessary risks. Time is moving fast but slow at the same time. I’m fine with the monotony of slipping down into a deeper hole. I don’t know what hope is. Some days I don’t eat at all or get out of bed. I even started confessing my feelings to people I love but have been scared of. I feel that there is nothing left to do but get rid of this alive feeling and reality as I know it. And related to all of this, I feel apathetic and bored.

*Daily standup*

"What did you do yesterday?"

"Errr.... I appeared in 16 LinkedIn searches."

Women of devRant,

What do you look in men? Need advice.

I'm reviewing a PR and it's easy to detect which functions were created with an AI: the ones that have comments.

today my (ex) gf admitted she cheated on me for the past 2 years. February 2023 june 2023 in hotel twice fucked by some guy. 21 november 2022 it all started. 16 december 2022 other guy. 2 weeks ago on my birthday 9th may, she fucked that same guy and said he snorts cocaine before fucking and she finds that attractive...... Says he mostly cums in her mouth and all the details possible

I am beyond loss of words and disgust. I want to just vomit. Im in way too deep shock to be able to feel anything

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'm happy to share with you, skyRant, a devRant client is now available in the playstore.

the real devRant app may have been removed from app stores. But devRant will never die!

Because writing code in latex is ugly, had to make a website to auto generate styled code for me:

Here’s a preview of a piece of code, in pdf, not an image

It’s strategy week. And I have flown to A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FUCKING COUNTRY.

In their wisdom, it has been decided that I, master of all knowledge (not!) will outline a roadmap for potential tech to come and where our pain-points are. They don’t have the slightest. CORP only now talks about AI and NOTHING sane is even closely is being addressed.

Fucking retards.

It is all for show.

It’s just a game for them.

Fucking holistic people.

Fuck leadership in IT with no actual knowledge of the pain of database upgrades. Fuck em!

It’s all pretending and using big words. I been in meetings where people actually use the words AI, autonomous and digital twin. In the same fucking sentence. Fucking imbecils! Do they even know how fucking impossible that is in a company like this where we struggle every-single-day with a tech debt that is actually incomprehensible. Yesterday I found code from 1978 in use, with no knowledgeable maintainers. Which is very cool but will be difficult, to say the least, to migrate. At the core of one of the deepest core processes at a specific site (we kind of make things). 1978. Thousands of lines of code.

We are NOT in a position at all to say things like this. Autonomous. We are NOT ready. We are NOT staffed and we will not be since we have NO money to hire the necessary workforce of 100 people it would take to actually do something useful. Even if we could hire them the time it would take to actually hold on to them would be too short. Since people are LEAVING THIS COMPANY SINCE IT/TECH IS NOT CONSIDERED TO BE IMPORTANT to the company.

Fuckers. I can take out half the factory in one minute.

Autonomous? AI? It is such a shitshow. And really, really depressing.

I wonder if they know. What would happen. If key persons was to decide to leave.

The care that has been put in place for this factory (HUGE FACTORY!!! HUGE!!!!!!!) system support is just really… well, crazy actually.

So... how tf does doordash think i, or anyone, wants to buy, specifically these items, from a chain grocery store???

Bloody ColdFusion. I hate it so much. Not only is it an inferior language. Also, every update breaks something. Adobe should have sticked with developing graphics packages like Photoshop and Illustrator, because they really suck at everything else.

I have a software, that runs perfectly, but I'm porting it to rust for no reason at all.

How is the weekend going?
If you had to pick a movie title to describe the weekend, what would it be?

https://devrant.com/rants/10622247

I genuinely don't know what I am doing here. I have no form of social media so I started using my school laptop and found out this site isn't blocked so here I am reading random ass dev's yapping and ranting. Honestly love it lmfao.

How weekends are supposed to be. Ofc it's only one part of a balanced breakfast.

I hope this is not illegal content, as I don't want to "Advertise" here but would like to share my first game on Steam with the community, as I am really proud of it.
There's a free playtest soon and dev opinions are much appreciated! Let me know guys what you think. https://store.steampowered.com/app/...

Pythonistas knowing that to talk to a native speaker, they need to go to Australia :

whuooaaahahaha!! My ninja-mutant-laptop (as uswsusp puts it) has arrived!!!

I applied for four jobs today, including GitHub. I feel kinda proud of myself.

Survived my second layoff at this company in less than 2 years. Feeling bitter sweet.

When I joined there was about 50 people here and now there is a little more than 15.

I think the way this company has done the layoffs have been humiliating to the people getting laid off. The “higher ups” will request that everybody be in the office for a company-wide meeting around noon. Then at around 11am that day, they will individual take people into conference rooms and lay them off. By the time the company-wide meeting starts, they’ve laid off all the people they needed.

Why lay people off infront of the whole rest of the company? I don’t see any reason

Friend has great idea for a software project built on top of OpenAI's API.

He wants it to be freemium, littered with ads.

He doesn't code. I think he's hinting at me to build it for him and I'll continue acting aloof.

I will not build software that's funded by ads.

Fuck ads. I hate ads.

Why do people always start new projects a month before the company closes for Christmas?

I told them how tired I am, plus they know I've just come out of final year computer science degree exams, and at the end of a massive code and infrastructure migration. My brain is absolute paste.

Start my Monday by trying to decipher non-tech people's "bug" reports whee they submit a small portion of a web page where some problem occurs, when I asked them to include the ENTIRE browser window including the URL of the page they're on.

Business Analyst says most of the forms aren't working, because they're not creating leads in the CRM system. I made a column in the form list where I explicitly mention the form submission destination, such as email, CRM, newsletter, or some combo of these. Forms work, she just can't read.

Just can't win.

The same person who nearly drove me insane last year still doesn't know what Google Chrome's Incognito mode is, after several people showed her what it is and how to use it. Also sent her screenshots of how to open a tab in Incognito mode.

She was hired for tax benefits to the company, nothing else. Dead weight.

Some Udemy courses are super cringe.

Can tell this guy isn't formally educated nor a professional programmer.

His code is so badly formatted and his naming conventions reeks of inexperience.

Spaghetti everywhere.
