Yesterday we had to do a demo for the client. Burned the whole day trying to fake, mock, and prettify things. And boi was it a crunch!

I don't remember sweating this much while working mentally.

After EOD, my shirt was literally reeking, my butt was sore, and I barely had energy to walk to the bed.

There’s lay offs in my company.

So far:
- slackers and incompetents are staying
- Part of the leadership team is in holidays
- No one said the word lay offs but use the sentence “changes to come”

I am going back on monday and part of me hope I will be kicked out as I will have nothing to loose then, and a full month to say whatever I want.

Been at interview today for some mobile banking app. Female interviewer describes the process: tech scrrwning for their company, then tech interview for client company, then coding challengde than hiring manager offer. I said I am not doing that, I cannot pass those, my brain freezes at those challenges. I can offer pair programing up to two hours with their programmer. Interview ended quickly amd I am glad I stood up against that nonsense.

If AI doesn’t solve your problem, the answer is always just more AI. Thus, AI is the new XML.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world: those who know binary, those who don’t, and those who didn't expect this joke to be in ternary.

EpiPen's patent expires in September 2025.

About a year, maybe two years ago I stupidly spill drink on keyboard, immediate RIP.

Got myself a new one right away, obviously. Didn't have much money at the time so I cheaped out on it, got a piece of trash that can't read more than two inputs at once. Like say I can't hold down shift, press W and then space to jump, shit like that. I developed a little muscle memory to get around it, just quickly switching between running and jumping. Dumbest shit ever, it kills your momentum.

Anyway I don't mind that but I've started noticing the caps are disintegrating. Particularly Meta, Shift, Arrows, they're just destroyed. The Enter keycap flat-out shattered. I can see which key I hit the most by how much the plastic has... well, melted and caved in. my touch is fire (baby) oh yeah.

So, go into normie internet to look for stuff to buy. Yay consumerism, everything sucks. Look at these pieces o fshit. And these fucking websites man. Who designed this your mother, don't answer, your mother would've done a WAY better job. Ugh. Fucking bullshit.

And why is everything "gamer" and has that horrible rainbow aRrGeebEe shit. Dafuq, boi. This is some of the most visually displeasing shit I've ever seen, and I am a shit poster by trade, I have witnessed some of the most cavernous depths of the internet's unholy butthole. I thought bleeding through the urethra was painful, but no, this is somehow worse. I am experiencing such profound disgust it has affected me physically. Also am I just a ranting geezer at 31, heh, well best to be a rapidly mentally aging son of a bitch than a fucking jerkwad with an atrocious taste that somehow gets picked up and circlejackaloped off by an entire fucking industry.

But enough about your terrorized rectum, I have money to spend. Is that mechanical shit worth it I wonder. Like those oh so ~ a e s t h e t i c ~ shitbags that take keys away from you and yet charge you more for it. Like I don't care about it being cute, will the keys witstand the ecstasy of my flaming fingers. I type a lot, and I mean a lot, man. Have you ever seen my repos, millions upon millions of pseudo pornographic keystrokes spent on shit that does nothing, I am unashamed to admit it, now where is my medal of sin bestowed on me by the finest of malignant sponsors.

Anyway, fuck this rant, I lost my train of thought midway through and it became an abomination that I am too stubborn to hit delete on.

Also I have no delete key pls halp.

tailwind is trash holy crap.

every div element contains like 30 classes that have their own thing going for them.

just start writing inline css at that point. Why bother putting classes in?

Happy Monday fellas. I'm gonna be pretty grumpy tomorrow morning because:

- Tonight's TO-DO list is writing unit tests and getting past a blocker to my project which I have been avoiding. Unit tests cause depression.
- After a recent bout of depression, I started smoking more weed than I was comfortable with and tonight starts my temporary sobriety. Withdrawal from THC causes more depression.

Wish me some God damned luck bros.

I really hate working on work that require constant reporting and decision making: I don't understand how people are olay with work like that. let me present 2 cases : for context we are working on a complete ui revamp of our app.

case 1 Screen A ui revamp.
task : change screen A ui as per new figma
me : evaluates, give estimates, make new screen by changing ui wherever applicable , adding logics for new screen wherever applicable , and removing old logics whichever not mentioned in figma. finishes a task in standard timelines
Engg lead : NO!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE! WHY DIDN'T YOU ADDED THE OLD CHANGES/MENTIONED THEM TO ME! YOU ARE THE WORST DEV IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND

case 2 : Screen B ui revamp
new eng trainee
- starts on screen
- ask doubts on how to make new ui box 1 on day 1
- ask doubts on how to make new ui box 2 on day 2
...
- ask doubt on whether to keep feature 1 form old ui on day 11
- aks the logic for showing box 3 on day 15
...
Engg Lead : UwU MY SWEET SUMMER CHILD. YOU ARE THE POWERHOUSE OF NEXT GEN. HERE TAKE THIS QUARTERLY AWARD AND THE KEY TO MY ****

wtf? i mean yeah i should ask questions if 9/10 changes are covered in the ticket and 1 festure is missed, but if you are asking for 2 changes and not putting 10 changes, why would i bother asking about the other 8? Its like asking for an apple from a farmer and then scolding him for not coming up with "5 sacks of green diced and cutted and packed in platic containers ready to be shipped" when he comes back with a single apple in hand. ASK FOR THE CORRECT THING!!

PSA: You setting up a RAG + System Prompt + Agent + Intents does NOT mean you “trained an AI”.

TL;DR: I'm reading papers and doing computer science like I could never afford to in college.

I am beginning my scientific arc.

Over the past few days, I have been working on implementing my own Evolutionary Algorithms

I've been doing a combination of "experimentation" and (probably less than I should,) actual research.

My Mark 1 was just a proof of concept that set up the data structures correctly, Mark 2 generalized the data structures and actually implemented some natural selection, but this was really just made up by me so I'm only getting mediocre results.

Next step: I have two papers lined up to read on EAs. Mark 3 might not implement them exactly, but I hope to beat the performance of Mark 2.

I'm encouraged by the fact that these research papers have TONS of different things they tried, and I'm really only on my first prototype (since Mark 1 didn't have any selection implementation, only randomness)

I'm at a point in my career where I've started to think -

"Have I made it?"

I mean, I make a very good amount of money by freelancing, I have an online presence with my YouTube and I have a wife.

Isn't this all I ever wanted in life? If I push for more at this point, what am I pushing further for?

This question is equally relaxing and terrifying at the same time. It keeps me enlightened and in a state of limbo, at the same time.

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

This is Alvin, a small sub that is 60 years old, been to the Titanic wreckage many, many times. Still in active service.

This is the difference between the real engineering and the kind of "engineering" done by so-called "disruptors" that say "move fast and break things".

You're not an engineer — you're a douche that appropriates the engineering culture. You didn't make an "OS for productivity", you made a worse version of Lotus 1-2-3 from 1983. You didn't "reverse-engineer" anything — you copied and pasted funny letters and symbols put together by a language model that is as clueless as you are.

Do not cite the deep magic to me, bitch. I was there when it was written.

Damn these AI models...

Can we stop conflating Desktop Linux and Linux (as in the kernel, servers, the project itself, etc)?

Desktop Linux is a pretty tiny niche in Linux, while Linux itself is pretty huge part of pretty much anything related to computers and on top of which a LOT of things are reliant on.

And yet so many times when I see or hear a complaint about Linux or some Linux distro, I look inside and it's specifically a Desktop Linux issue that has nothing to do with Linux itself.

Why the fuck are there so many electrical standards to connect a mac to a phy?!

When someone writes a Flutter app like it's 1998 and blames Flutter for being "too hard" and "DIfficult"

First of all… WTF?

This guy wrote an entire Flutter app like it's HTML + CSS cosplay. No use of Flutter’s built-in Drawer, AppBar, or BottomNavigationBar. Instead? He manually built his own versions of all of them using Container, Row, and Column, all dumped inside the body. Literal pixel pushing. He made a fake AppBar inside the body. A fake Drawer inside the body. A fake BottomNav inside the body. It's like UI inception. Then he turns around and says “Flutter is hard.”

Bro… you made it hard. Flutter gave you prebuilt widgets. You chose pain.

Zero data structures. No architecture. No MVC.
The only MVC I found was: Multiple Voids in Class.

And the documentation? It's literally been around since 2018. Not even buried, just a Google search away.

Then came the excuses:
“Oh he’s from a Delphi / ASP.NET background, so Flutter is difficult for him.”

No. I’ve coded in Erlang and COBOL. You don’t see me turning Flutter into Erlang’s syntax disaster or WRITING DART IN ALL CAPS like COBOL.

Choose a paradigm. Functional? Procedural? OOP? Fine. Just don’t mix all three into some cursed hybrid mess.

What did I see in the code?

Recursion inside recursion for no reason

Functional programming patterns mixed with anti-OOP logic

500+ functions declared, zero referenced

Authentication by writing to file.txt. Like… bro, why?

And then there’s navigation. He stored route info in both SQLite AND SharedPreferences before pushing a new route. Why both? Why at all?

Honestly, Flutter has been one of the cleanest and most developer-friendly frameworks I’ve used. Dart is readable, fast, and predictable. But somehow this guy managed to turn a simple Flutter app into a twisted assembly simulator from hell.

Flutter didn’t fail him. He failed Flutter.

And yeah — the project folder was named Flutter_UI_Test_FINAL_v2_Rebuild_2023_OK and full of main_old.dart, main_old(copy).dart, main.dart.bak. I should’ve known from the start.

Really.......Some dev are idk what to describe

modern cars are awful. cheeky fuckers.

was driving somewhere with my mon in her BMW and for some reason our conversation in notEnglish triggered the AI assistant and my mom told it "fuck you" in our native tongue and it replied with "watch your tone" LMAO.

It's so funny, but awful in a way. And it keeps jerking the steering wheel when you go too close to a lane. It's quite jarring to drive like that.
