Story Time:

In the late 90s , early 2000, I remember we had our first landline (phones where a luxury on our part of the world) , with that our first 56k internet connection.

I remember vividly waiting for 14:00 (02PM) so I could connect to the internet paying only a single "pulse".

Back in my tiny remote rural village in brazil, most houses where build by brick layers people hired directly and I lots of owners worked with them to speed up the process, run plumbling and
eletricity, paint and do the floors etc, mylate father included.

Being quite handy, he also did all the wiring for the landline and the for modem.

While he was handy, he was by no means an electrician, so one bizarro side effect for the amateur wiring was that whenever someone turned on the Shower, the internet connection would go down.

And for some bizarre reason, it was only the internet connection, while the shower was turned on, the phone would work fine... some years later broadband internet got widespread and it was unnaffected by the shower.

Yay donald trump declared me a terrorist.

They are terrorized lmao.

devRant is fast enough to use again? Excellent.

Malignant growth mindset.

Devrant just became fast again!
I hope it‘s not temporary 🥲

i dont know python and i have new reason to fucking hate jira

do a test against jira create_issue hard coded, it works just to see if i can get it right as a sanity test

write real stuff using above against bulk endpoint create_issues doesnt fucking work

fml

in imperative languages spaghetti code might just be the lay of the land

What made you get into Programming?

"If you get stuck with something for 20 minutes, ask" I would rather chew glass until I manifest the solution.

I have no problem with asking for help every once in a while, but if I don't get to spend time digging into questions I might as well become a bricklayer.

im studying a new framework.

seeing all the parts of my programming skills and knowledge that are lacking.

no idea why i feel like im learning new things but im still at the starting line

really want to know this framework by heart but will settle for knowing the structure intuitively. still feel like i dont understand anything about it

developer for 10 years but why do i feel so stupid

devRant is so fucking slow I forget what I came here for. Must find some other way to let out steam.

Yea of course my company is like family

A dysfunctional family in a mini van everyone is on LSD

The van is driven by a monkey

Note: The monkey is also on LSD

My (likely incomplete) programming journey:
1998 - html/css in after school program
2000 - learned to write batch files for windows 98
2002 - visual basic 6 freshmen high school class
2003 - ti-86 basic programs for games and math class formulas
2004 - visual basic .net classes for programming competitions
2007 - c and c++ college intro classes
2008 - PHP and SQL flavors (oracle, MySQL) for class
2010 - more .net + c# classes
2011 - deep php and postgres for work
2012 - html/css/JavaScript change in focus for work projects (backbone.js)
2013 - node.js for work and hobby projects (frontend build tools + react)
2014 - picked up python
2016 - node.js deep dive for backend (serverless, nosql)

Pretty much stayed the course with my language skill set. Honing system design chops along the way.

2025 - elixir is my new jam

GLM4.5 is actually pretty good for Mobile/Web development, pleasantly surprized with it.

!rant Lovely quote:

“There are two ways of constructing a software design: One
way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no
deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated
that there are no obvious deficiencies.”

Devrant is not usable anymore.

Week: 106 (Year 3)

How is the weekend going?

Question: At what age did you get married, or at what age are you planning to get married, and why?

I CALLED IT!!!
A few months ago I said that AR/VR would be (again) the next stupid hype after the GenAI bubble finally burst.
Now the facebook kid says that whoever doesnt buy his sparkly glasses is an uncool square.
Nailed it! Beware, people, the stupid crappy-lphone-in-your-glasses will be the next "disruptive innovation" that hypephiliac managers will preach as the new-new-gospel.
Maybe its the facebook kid's way of trying to revive his "metaverse" craptastic debacle?

Finally, did a closed-beta launch for my startup...

Jerry is gone, Ben arrested this year, new name : Trump Golden Cookies
