@grokii write a me a program that uses libpostal to parse one line addresses from any country and populates a record which contains all the fields that it uses in python

Which AI(s)/LLM(s) do you use for aid with Software Development?

OpenAI, Gemini, Claude,...

My company pays well. I'm remote. But sometimes I'm miserable. I expect too much from work and I need to learn not to.

They talk about how they want employees to be engaged, and they want developers to understand and solve business problems. They just don't mean any of it, and they don't know they don't mean it.

Anything you say about what we're building, why, or the process is wrong. Don't say it like this. Don't say it like that. Don't say it in the retro. Eventually I realized they're gaslighting me and probably don't even realize it.

There is no right way to say anything. There's no right time. The only way they're really happy is if you shut up and work your tickets.

I need to make my peace with that and collect my paycheck.

They're just so stupid. They don't see the disconnect between what they want and what they say they want. They can't be helped.

Thanks for listening.

So, how do you devs perceive code standards?

Nazi shit or game-changer?

You know.. it's funny and sad at the same time.. that in this industry you have to either play the office politics game.. or at a minimum not play by the rules and deviate to your own advantage.. because if you play by the rules, 1) That limits your progress tremendously and 2) lets you be controlled by others, including your career

As a developer in Germany, I don't understand why anything related to development like IDEs, git clients and source code documentation should be localized/translated.
Code is written in english, configuration files too. Any technology, any command name in a terminal, every name of a tool or code library, every keyword in a programming language is written in english. English is the language of every developer. And English is simply a required skill for a developer.
Yet almost everything nowadays is translated to many other languages, espacially MS products. That makes development harder for me.

My visual studio menus are a mess of random german/english entries due to 3rd party extensions.

My git client, "source tree" uses wierd translations of the words "push" and "commit". These commands are git features! They should not be translated!

Buttons and text labels in dev tools often cut the text off because they were designed for english and the translated text is bigger and does not fit anymore. Apparently no one is testing their software in translated mode.

And the worst of all: translated fucking exception and error massages! Good luck searching for them online.

Apple does one thing damn right. They are keeping all development related stuff english (IDE, documentation). Not wasting money on translations which no developer needs.

Having an Active Noise-Cancelling headset is a gift to a Software Developer. Concentrated engineering in any noisy environment.

The dawn of a new generation in luxury personal equipment.

The ANC headset is a premium lightweight, high-performance headset that meets the demands of the new generation of upper-income urban software developers.

The ANC has the conveniences of earplugs, a wireless communications device, and a device without wires.

Muting power is a matter of convenience with the ANC headset.

Have you been forced into a futureless role you hate?

ok I have concluded I hate retoor

I was happier before the invention

this is actually the second time this happened

now I'm committed to a project I wasn't ready to do and it didn't even result in anything fruitful so my amount of rage is just indescribable

... after eating too much sugar, 4 am and your people went to bed on you so you're adding multi threading to your networking app which previously tormented your dreams for like 3 months and had all sorts of edge case bugs you never fixed and deadlocks you couldn't figure out ayyo good decisions

I ran it and it seems to be working and I have no idea what I did and I do not like it. now to wait like half an hour for the tests

do I think I'd care when I wake up tomorrow to refactor it to make sense? probably not

I also wish for vscode to stop giving me fucking popups. the mouse over info never pops up when I want it to and always pops up if I'm trying to navigate somewhere... sigh

speaking of vscode it also tells me I have errors all the time I don't and then I have to reboot it. everybody loves this thing but I want my atom back. I am an old granny, get off my lawn

... and sometimes I just fucking somehow accidentally press ai auto complete button text and it writes docs and I don't notice. I hate it

thanks for coming to my ted talk

urgh discord changed their client to have some kind of antialiasing so now I'm squinting my eyes thinking my eyes are blurry from eye strain or something when it's just the way they decided to setup their stupid app

come on guys, just what. are you trying to sell eye meds or something. just why

Tasty quick treat:
1. mushroom (wash remove stem)
2. cheese (stuff into mushroom cavity)
3. microwave (15 to 30 seconds to melt cheese)
4. eat (nom nom nom)

My first go was 2 mushrooms with gouda and blue cheese. Cooked 30 seconds. Was a nice little treat.

I think there are some very scary thoughts behind what would happen if you went full on deep fake meets max headroom eg people you wondered if they existed

As there are and were some really sick fucks in this world which would really get off on that kind of headlock.

And were in fact when I was younger

God I'm sick of temporary people and mimics and sickos wasting my time and effort

When you think about it.. we, DevOps, are the Mario Bros of the tech world.

We do the building, maintenance and pipelining so that whatever shit developers produce, it would end up in the right place w/o getting stuck

AAAAAAAAAAARRRGHHH !
KILL !
YOU !

writing some code groundup don't wanna cheat and instead invent my own things

gave up and was lazy. decided to finally look into what other people coded for this thing

I feel so complimented.

94 repos. only 29 have code that isn't just copy pasted default code

only 3 of those repositories decided to build a faux operating system

1 operating system is basically non-functional and the guy gave up 10 months ago. this was the latest attempt and I figured might have the good stuff but this is not so. he didn't figure out a lot of stuff yet

the other 2 look like a disastrous mess. like one guy does 8 operations to do something I did in 1... so much useless objects, methods... objects are "far away" from each other if that makes sense. Jesus so messy. this guy did 12 different arrays to do something I used an enum for and 1 array... really?

I might be the subject matter expert here now

I guess the powers that be tell me I cannot cheat after all 🤷

So today I got to talking about "plane jacking" with a coworker. To me it has always been called hijacking a plane. I have heard of car jacking though. For some reason plane jacking sounded like masturbation in a plane. Don't know why.

Me: So calling it plane jacking is going to lead to someone attempting to join the plane jacking mile high club and having the toilet damage their penis due to sucking.

Coworker: Nobody is long enough to have their penis reach into there...

Me: I am so sorry. I feel bad for you.

Coworker: ...

Me: That was really good wasn't it?

Coworker: Yeah, but I hate it. <laughs>
