Everyone knows nVidia is a bubble. Even fucking Bloomberg is reporting on the circular flow of money between nVidia/OpenAI/Intel/AMD/Anthropic/CoreWeave/Oracle (remember, Oracle's first customer for its first 3 years was the CIA).

Even the US Government has put money into this scam by propping up 10% of Intel for .. national security or something?

So everyone can see this bubble clearly. Can anything be done about it? How do you keep a bubble from destroying everything when it's in plain sight?

Whoever is able to hold their shorts for nVidia is going to make a shit-ton (*not financial advice)

HDOOM!
Really a good version of Doom, many gameplay improvements.
Thinking of doing my own Doom maps !

i dont know frontend or react

now toss in nextjs and pandacss

why the fuck is some box from @styled-system/jsx' possibly squishing the height of an image

why the fuck is my color not being applied to the existing <Image , the existing approach could be wrong

how is it that there's new frameworks and libraries coming out all the time ,but front end development hasn't been solved to be retard proof so i can do it

So today I was reading a paper on different languages and I saw how good Zig is on the paper:
- same performance as C
- memory safety (underlined behavior, not trump's one)and rust
Basically the same with concurrency

Maybe I will need to switch languages;
Any arguments for C except the ecosystem, it's age/maturity and easy syntax?

Based on your experience and knowledge, can you wager a guess on the percentage of dev/production codebases at companies are actual, beautifully written, architecturally sound constructions and not a nightmare of a (spaghetti) mess that keeps requiring new architects/ai engineers/senior devs/whatever to maintain (or rewrite)? In my personal experience... let's see.. about 20% or less of all the companies I worked at. That's sad. lol

I built an addon to the system that we've been using for almost 15 years now that uses the exact same config screen as we've always used.
And, just because the configs are being applied to a new concept, it's being treated like I abducted them with a flying saucer and are forcing them to learn Alienese. The config screen is exactly the same otherwise.

Job-searching while listening to Final Fantasy VIII. Know what I'm sayin'?

ok asked google what can it tell me about myself and it slapped me with the fact that i wrote an image format and called it JOJ.

it didn't pick up on the reference so 0/10.

also it identified me as a programmer rather than a shitposter, i feel profoundly hurt by this injurious misprofiling. am i a joke to you? don't answer.

anyway only *now* i finally understand what "online footprint" really means and why some people are kinda paranoid about it. but i am not going to go back and delete ten years of willie tanner jokes, because the fact that the dad from alf was allegedly caught in a crackhouse having sex with homeless people will never not be funny to me, sorry but not sorry.

Generate one trillion datapoints. Interesting. lol. I need 128 GB RAM for that, though...

Week: 112 (Year 3)

How is the weekend going, lads?

Question: What’s something you think 90% of people are secretly bad at?

last Weekend : https://devrant.com/rants/19376600

Podman or Docker, and why?

Get happy everyone https://youtube.com/watch/...

Also makes me want to play the sims

Most unrealistic deadline I ever had was of my own failure to recoginze that api I would be integrating with makes me want to scream. Anyhow, that seemed like simple feature we often think of "less than a day job". I set the deadline 2 weeks ahead as I planned to be bussy. That was 9 days ago.

Got me to point where Im tired enough to see
`ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'git pull' at line 1`

Around half a year ago I had a client... Client that told me I would be responsible for quite big system that needs to be written, that he vibecoded a lot of, and that I am supposed to use as much AI as possible and buy myself claude max plan.

Fine, at that point I needed something, anything, as I didnt had any project.

Long story short, there was 3 huge, huge repos, with tens of tousends of dead code lines. An API that half of endpoints didnt work. I started vibecoding (as requested by client, "becouse this claude AI produces shockingly good quality code" - direct client quote) and getting frustrated by what tf the AI was doing.

I was requested to take as many hours as needed to get the features delivered asap.

I managed to bend the reality to get compiling code that passes some smoke tests of some of the features. Features, that were poorly defined and I had some questions practially all the time (as the file with features was vibed also lmao), and usually anwser was something like "whatever works, mate".

It lasted 1.5 weeks. Every single day I was out of claude limit.

After 1.5 weeks client disappeared for few days, not responding, and after almost a full week I got lengthy message from him that roughly said "you are great developer, but you dont use AI enough so your velocity isnt exactly what I expected. Good luck with next projects".

Ooof. While I know it's probably worst productivity measure out there, but LoC wise, that was solid +30k in that 2 weeks, that I did indeed read through and knew it at least roughly does what it should.

Oh, and he finished the project himself with pure vibecoding, launched it, it failed immidietely as it wasnt technically sound. At least made me smile for half a second.

I will never forget trying to get Opus to follow architecture or do anything reasonably.

I rant about it for simple reason:
for some people the AI thing makes them impossibly delusional what the tool actually can do and what it is good for. Impossibly delusional. Don't be me. Don't deal with delusional clients.

I've been working more and more with vibe coding. The only way I can get it to work is with Claude code.

I'm not sure why it's different, but that one actually works. He's worth the 200/mth if you can make money coding.

Is the code great? No. But who gives a fuck. He frees up so much time

zip > rar (personal)
Until... I had to compress files with UTF-8 in the name. zip couldn't... ?
Ugh... rar it will be this time then...
I bet there's an option in Windows to allow this, right? I guess I'll have to adopt some file compression software... ideas? I just know a couple, and have no real favourite.

Why does literally every Rust user has issues with his boyfriend?

My colleagues are really addicted to Pokémon. They took their lunch break at 10:00 to go to shop because the pokémon cards are restocked today at 10:00. Now half of the team eats their lunch while working cuz their lunch break is already used lol

Also, the company doesn't even measure the breaks. They usually take multiple smoke breaks totalling over 1h each day. Nobody complains about that. Idk why they suddenly care about the duration of their lunch break

FUCK U FUCK U MY DAY WENT FINE UNTIL I ATE MY FLAN AND IT RURNED OUT FREEZED SO ITS NOT GOOD ANYMORE AAAAAA FUCK U
