In case anyone else has the bug in the web version of DevRant where if you scroll to the comments the page grows infinitely, I made a userstyle

https://userstyles.world/style/...

Company is not doing well so decided to go job hunting again, or rather respond on linkedin. Didn't think I cared that much, but I have been unable to finish the work I need to do, something that I should be able to do in a day at most. Half of me is "remember you don't care" the other half is "why are such a slacker, useless piece of shit"

Anyway, first call with an actual recruiter was positive

heh what if you make an ad that does no horror or coercion but makes anyone who sees it buy your product out of compulsive, OCD-like terror

do you think they would care about ads doing subliminal hacking of brains

I feel like this is when mods ban me for not the rules

I actually think that auto-completing pull requests with any merge strategy other than fast-forward is completely insane. WTF do you mean the final version of the code is produced with no humans present?

I find your lack of capitalism to be... disturbing

wow tarot cards have a solution to hobby programming projects

just always stuck in 3 of wands, forever

cuz 5 of wands sucked. so then I started avoiding 4 of wands to never get to 5. and then you just get stuck planning forever at 3.

5 is when communities of people come with their own ideas and cause self doubts in you, override you. 4 is respite/pride/reveling and feeling comfortable in your idea/quest and seeking out a community base to share it with

guess in the end it's always that people suck and nobody can do anything alone. mega lame!

i started smoking cigarettes 1 year ago. and its getting more intense. i only smoke when i am overburned with HEAVY. HEAVY FUCKING STRESS.

11 august 2024 i had a mental breakdown. complete crashout due to losing ANOTHER 2000$ on $VINE coin

i crashed out so hard. so badly. in front of my parents. dad picked me up from floor and hugged me and he was shaking. mom was comforting me confused and scared. i uncontrollably breathed hard shaked and cried.

thats why i started.

crypto was the trigger to start smoking for the first time ever after 27 years.

now 28 years later i am still smoking but very rarely. took me 1 year to smoke 1 pack of cigs. now im on a 2nd pack.

i smoke 2-4 cigs per session one after another.

am i fucking going insane?

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.

urgh I want someone to help me with my job PTSD by like letting me talk to them as I try to choose one and figure out my neurosis and just do some comforting words or something

but they're thinking of doing it next week when my boyfriend will get his passport next week and I wanna spend 3 weeks with him unemployed just chilling when he finally visits 🥺

I come home and the park is surrounded by police. Fine, I'll take a shortcut home and will snuff the mountain of amphetamine I have left and will end as the scarface from Ali express. If I do not get shot, I'll be online for the next 72 hours. Both are appealing tho. Anyway, I have to act quick. TTYL.

GRAARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH POOHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

That's just my frustration with SourceTree.

This is a story all about how my SourceTree got twisted upside down, and I'd like to take a minute to just sit right there and tell you how I pushed my code to my repository on GitHub:

Iiiiiin my SourceTree, born and raised, I checked out my branch, tried to push but SourceTree said: "See ya later!" (denied/authentication failed). Sssoooo I told myself I was not going to use ChatGPT to solve this problem. I was going to use my Medior skillzzzz1!1!1!Oen and so I did solve it, but what a fucking hassle!

First I tried to remove all credentials from SourceTree and from my system, then I tried to add a fine-grained PAT, and finally... someone mentioned on StackOverflow that it was the git version that was oudated. So, SourceTree has an outdated embedded git, even on the latest version. Wtf?! Anyway, so I let it choose system git (which uses the latest git version).

And now it works!

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

What's your favorite letter? Mine is Z. It have a fascinating history. it was originally an S, but it became edgy and angular.

The reason why CS graduates don't make the big bucks is that they do not learn how to configure CI pipelines for gitlab in university.

skipped my meds yesterday night by accident and just got the best sleep I've had in a month. yeah fuck these things

and they lied to me and told me they were sleeping meds the first time even tho that was unnecessary to be doing and they're not prescribed for sleep

I hate the medical field. that's so fucking gross

Some people boycott. Some people do boyscouts

I absolutely despise state of org structures in mid-big companies due to mediocre devs and more than that mediocre middle managers that are responsible for putting out policies.

They are on doom spiral but somehow keep themselves afloat. Heard a policy for one of them is like you need to be using AI for 80% of your job? They are being run as if the person using it is unable to think for themselves. If you are micromanaging prompting why not fire the plebian, and use agents and 100% AI bitch.

But most companies are like this, why?

How would it change your working behavior if you get about 5% shares of the company you are working at?

just had my annual review. it felt like parsing a poorly formed JSON response.
{
"name": "Me",
"metrics_met": true,
"innovative_solutions": null,
"complex_problems_solved": undefined,
"mentorship_provided": null,
"overall_feedback": "excellent, good job, Keep up the good work."
}
all the real work—the late-night debugging, the patient mentoring of the junior dev, the architectural insight that saved us from a rewrite, it all just gets returned as null or undefined.
the system only has fields for the stuff that's easy to measure, not the stuff that actually matters. my career is being evaluated by a broken API.
i'm gonna start writing my own damn API documentation for my brain. at least then the payload would be accurate.

My phone broke a few months ago and when I went to a local retailer. All their phone specification and the price were locked behind a QR-code. You could not make an educated purchase lol

Who was the idiot that thought this was a good idea.
