B2Plane I've found the best spot for you to take a dump:

I'm about to install and boot my first desktop PC since childhood. Excited

Bout to be on that homeless vibe

Week : 68 ( Year 1 )

How is the weekend going?

Where are you spending your vacation specifically?

Previous Week : https://devrant.com/rants/11551285

Now's the last minute at current company. Very mixed feelings about leaving. Working with the people there was such an amazing experience and the working conditions there were amazing. But I decided to move on because the pay was absolutely shit and the work itself was like making me feel burnt out. Its not like that I'm overworked. Its like no challange and my own expertise is not valued at all. Everything I work on is constantly held back by every minute thing so that I finish it months later than actually planned. I feel kinda bittersweet. And finishing off with a blast kinda makes it even worse to leave. As for the last day before christmas there is a big happy hour with a lot of free food and alcohol. Talking to all the ppl I've worked with over the years makes me wish it would not be like this. I already miss them. Its like having to say goodbye to a good friend. I guess I'll stop. It will only make it worse.

What a journey - a psychedelic shaman in a capitalist world

Dear @Wisecrack
sorry for the 1,5 year cliffhanger... but i hope you still intrested :)

My grand daddy was a racist asshole who hated arabs and black people.

But my dad was right. No matter the race or the origin, the religion, jew or gentiles, rich or poor, pp or not, we should unite against our common enemy.

The flemmish.

It may sounds racist but seriously, my washing machine broke, it's not even 6 months old. I had to fight with them for weeks and now they only offers me an appointment in 5 weeks

Mediamarkt my balls. Fucking germans

Fuck teocracy! Fuck autocracy! Fuck democracy too!

Catocracy, now! Let cats rule the country! Feed all christians to lions!

My boss uses chatgpt to code all the time. I watched his workflow and he will use chatgpt not for code, but to act like a search engine. He seems to be effective using it like this.

I struggle to include chatgpt in my workflow at all. I am using it to help learn C# to clarify things I cannot find in search. It doesn't always help.

So I have mixed feelings about using it in my work flow.

Hi everyone,

I was surprised how much lessons there are to be learned using OpenAI api, especially when configuring your own agents..

So, I made a small doc in the form of a class for people who want to start right away containing all urls and lessons learned. I especially made NOT a library of it - like many losers did - so it can be native in your project and you don't have an extra dependency. It's in exception of OpenAI api dependency free on purpose.

You could have your own GPT in the CLI within literally 15 minutes. Links to dashboards where to register what is all mentioned in the doc. It's written for programmers but just not familiar with python and programmers who want to start directly without issues what seems to be hard in the AI business. A lot low quality stuff out there.

Still struggling with the whole webpack project. We agreed on just doing style for now. (Which also need to be updated but that a whole other drama)

Fucking hate my life right now. Its 16:00 so time for beer and games. And holidays. Have a good holidays here everyone. I cant wait to come back to this shit in 2025.

Guys i'm bored lets throw a rave in your country presidential palace.

I bring acid

When your technical colleagues apply or pressure you to make fixes or implement features w/o understanding how abd why they work. When they discard your proposals/alternatives as inferior, motivating with their superficial knowledge arguments. When they promote new toys over tried and true ones, only because they work using other new technologies and they do stuff automatically, w/o having to think why/how, hoping it'll never fail.

And when it all starts erroring -- turn to @netikras asking to fix the tools I ruled from the beginning as "black boxes of unknown evil"

aren't they the best... :)

is there no longer place for highly technical nerds understanding all the bolts and nuts of big and small tools/systems/solutions..,?

Dammit, it's morning. Then I get my kinda post nut clarity. Things I thought last night to be a good idea, not anymore. Good that I went to sleep. Phew. New rule, only decide what to do regarding new projects in the morning. The new background of my site is a good example when deciding things tired. What serious dev has such stuff? I dunno, maybe I do leave it for now, site is because many reasons unprofessional. There is a duplicate one with my real name on it. I made a reverse proxy project that replaced http content by interpreting httpd, fixing content length after replacing (else browsers will endlessly load or give error) with support for websocket and buffered content so implemented quite a bit. If I replace retoor with my real name now, you'll see it literally everywhere, I git history and such. Probably even downloaded zip files, I have to see if that doesn't corrupt. This software can also be used to make sure smth is NOT published. Sensitive data you could put a password in it for example so Noone will figure out if you accidently stored a password in git. I check this now by grepping using my common passwords in git. But I use env vars right now for passwords.

Got off topic, no decisions when tired anymore!

This is lead acetate. It looks like sugar and tastes like sugar, yet it’s as toxic as lead.
Have a good day!

I have paid version of GPT now. Kinda accidental, I wanted the API version and that seemed to be smth completely else. Didn't know. I have a lot of opinions / mixed feelings about it so far. Take the imagine generation, this image is kinda perfectly what I wanted. But it took so much iterations and it was forgetting what i've said lines before. Everytime adding text balloons why I said to remove it, then it removes it but generates a complete new image with something else I don't want with it. THan i fix that, and tadaaa, again a text balloon.

This is the question where it is about: is GPT in current state worth the money? I have no idea, I need some more time.

If I hear ONE MORE time "ChatGPT is like Google but better/smarter" I WILL choke a motherfucker to DEATH

I made it
