when will my brain become one with rust already

sigh

My scripts are made to be stupid-proof. Turns out I should have written them extra-stupid-proof.

I've talked about the privileges of being a dev, before. The following is not a rant btw, just me appreciating my line of work.

Back in 2018, when I was 2 YOE as a Laravel developer, this thought crossed my mind, what if I remained a Laravel dev all my career and never got a job in another tech stack?

I thought I could make some demo projects but no one would pay me for that. And on top of that, I'd have to start from scratch since that Laravel experience wouldnt count for, let's say C# dev job.

Is this the "comfort zone" most devs get trapped in? And what if I get trapped in it as well?

It was my legit concern back then.

But whatever happened after that, happened and here we are.

I am now a React + PostgreSQL dev, and because of my freelancing, I'm getting pushed into becoming a Vue JS + C# full stack dev, all the while I'm getting paid for it. My research times are also billable.

I just find myself in a privileged position where my career and skills will now never be stagnant, and as a result of that, I get to earn my bread and butter.

I just love being a dev sometimes :)

Did something happened to skyRant?

A weird toast notification appeared, and now nothing loads and the message no network appears (I do have network, in case you were wondering).

Therapists are too bloody expensive. I can get just as good insight on my psyche by using the goddamm Instagrams and letting the algorithm pick up on my personality.
Fuck, I'm drunk. Nine hours of meetings will get a bloke to see the bottom of a bottle or six.

something I wrote in JavaScript built on top of the exact same API as has been reproduced in rust by a library now

rewrote it in rust but 1/5th the features cuz lazy

has three times the bugs as the original version... like... before my bug fixing

Yay devrant works again

Now I just need a curl, an infinite loop and a gore dick gif.

My Frontend guys, I just wanna say that I love heyapi.dev

At least 5 of my rants are gone. Just disappeared. I vaguely remember one containing trigger words, like “suicide” (because a script was literally killing its own process ID) – did Devrant go through some “woke” clean-up phase?

Had bad depression on Friday and Saturday. Really really really bad. Like planning stupid shit bad. Stupid shit in my life. Whatever...

So my friend says he doesn't feel well unless he uses St. Johns Wort. I used to use it 10 years ago, but kind of forgot about it. It did help. Well now I use risperidone to manage depression with bipolar. I got some wort and took it sunday. Huge difference in 3 hours. Way TOO high response. I already posted about this before.

Today I go see Dr to check if this is okay. I told him I don't want to stop. It seems to have leveled out. He said risperidone with wort can produce mania. However, he said reduce amount of wort to 1 every other day. So it won't have as high of peaks. Cool cool. A solution that doesn't cost an arm and leg. Also a doctor who listens. We had a lot to talk about. I would golf with him if I knew how to golf. Yes, he is that cool.

He told me a funny thing last time I was there. He said you are old enough to need a prostate check, but they do them chemically now. Then he says, but for $20 we can work something else out. Anyway, I like him.

I also noticed before this that caffeine wasn't doing shit for me anymore. But today I had a low kick espresso coffee (1 cup). Wort + risperidone + caffeine is different world now. So I gotta be careful of caffeine now too.

For a long time I was so depressed and didn't realize it. I was hoping I wouldn't wake up in the morning. I don't know how I got to this point. I have great things going for me. So I am making lists of warning signs I experienced when I was very low. Probably going to get some counseling too.

I knew I needed to improve things on some level, but no motivation to do so before this week. I bought a treadmill intending to connect it to my computer and control it. Treadmill has been sitting in a room at my house since january untouched. I keep buying electronics and never setting them up. I don't even know if they work. Just stupid shit like that.

If you are in the shit, then talk to someone. If you don't know you are in the shit then ask someone. If you have to shit all the time you are probably @b2plane.

Seriously people. You are worth the trouble of finding out how to fix your shit.

Anyway ManicOne out.

I want to 3d print this badly. It freaks me out

Instructions how to properly eat a white sausage on a Weißwurst package from Germany.

Of course he needs to rape women look at his inbred face. Probably a german. Kings are cringe I swear, what is it, the middle age?

Somebody suggested eating substitute bath salts...

Okay devs, this one caught me off guard.

I was testing out Google's NotebookLM, expecting it to be another AI summarizer. Cool, but whatever.

Instead, I found this "Studio panel" with something called Video Overview — and in less than 3 minutes, it literally turned a block of copied text and a YouTube transcript into a fully narrated explainer video with slide transitions, quotes, and everything.

No Adobe Premiere. No voiceover. Not even a script.

Check out the full video on my Youtube Channel

How it works:

You can paste copied text, link a YouTube video, or add docs

Then you hit “Generate Video Overview”

It gives you a narrated breakdown of the content

Bonus: you can customize tone, style, and export it right away

I tested it with AI tools and quantum networking stuff, and the result was clean enough to use in an actual client pitch or course video.

Maybe not perfect yet, but honestly? As someone who’s spent hours editing screencasts — I’m not complaining.

Anyone else tried this?

We need to come up with a coding version of this. Where is a place that coders fight all the time? Some place notorious for this? We fight here, but I wouldn't compare devrant to a waffle house.

Dear UK. WTF?

It's the future. I've tried it.
