I was gay for a while, honestly, I don’t think it’s for me. Being straight feels so much better

Hear me out: A classic wizzard fight but the spells are terminal commands.

I’m making an iOS app "WTF Meter", which tracks the amount of phrases like "what the fuck", which you say to your rubber ducky while you review code or any other pieces of work.

It’s supposed to be a gag app for entertainment but it also accurately measures the "WTFs per minute" value, which we all know to be the only true indicator for code quality ;)

Phrases can be customized and there is a history of sessions for later review.

If you are interested, I’d be glad if you could test the current TestFlight version and give me any kind of feedback.

I’m particularly interested in what you think about the design and how intuitive the app is.

We are already in the Windows 11 era but they still didn't fix that thing about choosing "update and shut down" and it restarts instead.

Let me get it straight.

There's devRant, then came Element (Matrix), then came snek and now there's mydevplace.

Pretty soon we'll have more platforms than users using them. Everyone will sit alone in their chatrooms talking to themselves.

It's sad.

Love seeing the expected delivery time of a delivery slowly slide from the morning into the afternoon (including the latests at!) -_-

And these guys don't always ring the bell, so I need to listen to a running truck thingy and the beep as they scan the package.

And it's dev related stuff ;p

For the people who run a small server at home, what are you using it for?

Can ill people please stay home :(

Now I also caught the flu :(

before, when I was younger, whenever I knew someone was wrong and I could prove it, i would do it... Nowadays I don't a fuck, let them burn

Had a coding challenge.

I write the code, it's easy enough. All the tests are passing.

Yet the IA decided my code was 80%. The threshold is 90%.

That's fucking bullshit omg

"We wanted to let you know about X. (Bla bla bla…) Do you want to activate X now?"

[Yes, activate X]
[Remind me later]

How about a fucking 3rd option: Never ask me again? 🤬

Fucking hate those dark patterns!

Currently thinking about how all the hardware currently getting propped up for AI might end up getting used by the US Government to crack encrypted data. Because AI inevtably failed.

What’s the worst company you’ve ever worked for that had zero understanding of technology I mean like, the kind where you wonder how their systems are still online and survive?

Fuck, its 2025 and we still cant shake away the "you work with technology, you must know how to fix my microwave" stereotype.
Seriously, I have fewer apps in my phone and access fewer websites and even spend less time on my devices than the HR old hags, and yet im the one who has to come and "explain to them how to print a PDF".
Holly fucking crap. I haven't used a printer in MONTHS. With the cost of the time I will take to figure out how to communicate with those mummies that is 'just click the print button', they could hire ChatGPT to do it for a decade.
Fuuuuuck, that is the reason those stupid AI chat bots exist! To endlessly toil at the repetitive and predictable task of saying 'hi there! Have you clicked "print"?'
Imma gonna leave work early and get pissed. Luckily, I've already done a couple hours of OT for the day, so it won't seem so out of the ordinary.

!rant if(gym) { mood++; } // post-increment because it requires gym first

Oh God fuck shit mother trucker. Clowns. Clowns!!!

Sigh.

SHIT!

My old company had a board on TeamBlind.com, but it was a startup and people rarely posted. There has been one post since the big layoffs and zero replies to it.

Meanwhile, my current company doesn't meet the minimum number of people to enable the private board (need 30 more) and it's been around for decades.

Holy fuck... I have kinda inherited the biggest shitshow of a website I've seen so far. The Stripe integration doesn't work. Users' memberships aren't getting synced, seems the person who did this didn't use a webhook.

subscription statuses managed all over the place.

Fucking hell... I don't even....

Ideal position to be in mid-large cap software is to either stop at either senior or staff engineer, then use side free time to dedicate to launching your side project. Detach immediately and work on your own

What the FUCK is with these poltergeists work work on the Xcode team? They all live in a tiny home or loft studio? Tabs are like hanging a fucking curtain between two beds and calling it a two bedroom apartment. And worse, the fucking thing creates tabs all the time and I lose the **document** I am trying to edit.

Using Xcode like trying to manage a desk full of loose papers with a ceiling fan on high.

Do people wonder why I stand up and scream at the ceiling FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK all the time?

Shit, pretty soon I am going to give up and put all of my code in one god damn file for this mother fucking one-window application.

I fucking hate you people on the Xcode design (joke) team...
