STOP USING AI IN HUMAN-HUMAN COMMUNICATIONS FFS

Sold my first ever license. :) Months of work paid out.

Like many of us, tired of hearing the expressions: "infused with A.I.", "powered by A.I.", "augmented with A.I.", "A.I.-first", etc.

I discover every day some new annoyment with Windows 11. So far, I haven't found a single advantage over Windows 10. Windows 11 is a 100% downgrade.

Turns out it wasn't the RAM nor the graphics card but the barely used NVME (that I recently started using with linux as boot) that was causing random crashes.

Very tempted to still just replace the whole thing...

Nothing too important on there other than my bash history and LLM models

Me and my bug are having dinner date

Burned out but trapped at work for next 4-6 weeks - need survival tips

I'm 31y/o software dev and I'm completely fried and need advice on how to hang on until I can quit.

After 5 months job hunting, I landed a role that turned into a nightmare. 6 months of being bounced between different teams/scopes/projects with impossible deadlines and covering for incompetent managers/colleagues has left me burned out. Problem is, I'm finalizing a mortgage and can't quit or take sick leave without messing up income verification stage. Need to survive 4-6 more weeks.

Work is toxic and unpredictable - not enough resources given, blaming, shifting priorities, undefined tasks, endless meetings. Fake sense of urgency. Never feeling a sense of completion - there is always something extra that comes up. Documenting everything to have paper trail in case shit hits the fan, but honestly it feels like I'm at war daily and it's exhausting. I'm weeks behind on everything.

I have ADHD and my usual meds (18mg Concerta/10-20mg Lisdexamphetamine of Adixemin brand) aren't working anymore. Im able to fall asleep only after taking 0.2-0.3mg of Xanax or smoking some THC/CBD flowers. Constant brain fog, shot memory, never feel rested. Maybe 2-3 productive hours max daily before I become useless - either depressed or too wired and too anxious to function.

Already tried bunch of supplements (all possible forms magnesium, vitamin D, fish oil, my supplements drawer has like 60 different bottles), cleaned up diet, cut dairy/nicotine/alcohol/caffeine, taking strategic vacation days here and there in beginning or ending of a week.

I also suspected some allergies, tried out quercetine + vitamin c + all possible anti allergy meds - didnt help. I even suspected inflammation - tried curcumin and all other stuff - useless.

Anyone dealt with extreme burnout while trapped in a job? How do you function when your tank is empty but quitting isn't an option?

Only thing that helps is that I work fully remotely. Exercise would help but I cant force myself to do it.

Once the mortgage closes, I'm gone. Get a less stressful job lined up. Just need to survive until then without falling apart completely.

Fuck it's hard to be sober when getting drunk improves your coding productivity 10x

Went through a typescript tutorial and had a few aneurysms along the way.

What in the lovechild of basic , c and js families is this bullshitery?

Have I gotten so old or is anyone else feeling this?

A programming language is a compromise between the absolute bullshit that a human wants to write and the absolute horsepiss that a computer wants to read.

"Can't you just write an if so the failing queue kinda restarts and processes the disappearing job when the bug occurs?"

No, you dense fuck. We've been over this every time you bring up this rotten, diseased garbage of a project. The queue does not work because the project was developed with a PHP version that was already EOL at the time, in an old framework that was also EOL at the time by the way, surely because someone told the brainless intern to "just copy paste from another project and change a couple of stuff" probably (that wouldn't be you? No? You sure?) and the queue fails because of a bug with the framework itself and I am NOT going to waste my time trying to decipher what the fuck this c programmer was trying to achieve with these 1600 lines of code in a single method. Yes I've seen the flowchart. No it still makes no fucking sense.

It reads from a csv. Updates some mysterious and undocumented mongodb collections. Some mysql tables as well. It also updates some fucking text files for good measure too. Text files. Oh, and It also connects to a third party API and does even more changes based on the responses. There are PHP IIFEs all over the place. Property names so short you'd think we were trying to save up on space but that clearly isn't the case, is it?

And am I expected to somehow unfuck this while babysitting the rest of the devs, write some fucking documents so that you can justify asking for more money because of your own technical debt fuckups, handle nearly all deployments, unfuck more doomed projects that were never stable or documented?

Can't wait to leave this shithole of a company. You can't attract talent. You can't retain talent and you actually made all the competent devs quit with your bullshit.

Now I'm the only senior, tech lead, devops, sysadmin and you want me to take on pm duties as well since the other pm left? Fuck. Right. Off.

If weed can damage your short term memory, imagine what weed can do to you.

Stay away from weed!! It does something to you but I forgot what.

I swear, people can't recognize a social panick when they see one.

I finally got a refund for my Purism Libre 5. It only took SIX FUCKING YEARS!

Fuck Purism. That company should die in a fire.

Fixing old bits of code for my build tool so I can extend the damn thing and I'm throwing away so much shit. Can't stop man.

Pretty crazy as this code is, IIRC, 2 to 4 years old at most. And I am sure that I was feeling like an absolute legend when I wrote this ignominious fucking garbage, as in it is quite clever, just in a downright dogshit kind of way.

So I'm hacking away at this eternal monument to the abstract gonorrhea-infected bleeding and fully dilated defecating anus that are my past decisions, and I'm wondering, have I actually learned to write simpler code or am I just gonna repeat this process a few years down the road and get stuck in some kind of funky chronodisplacement self-sodomizing limbo.

Well, for one, I *am* very much simplifying the code because most of it I'm just outright deleting, and what I have to replace or rewrite is fairly succinct, so I'm feeling good about that. Second, and get this, now I have the advantage that I've actually used this piece of shit for a few years so I have the benefit of knowing where I fucked up from a user perspective, which is invaluable.

Yeah, I think I nailed it this time. No more fucking around; pinky-promise.

HTTP/3 requires TLS. Wouldn't this make it drastically less economical to run a reverse-proxy? Are 4 unnecessary cryptographic operations per request not significant? What about the bandwidth overhead of rounding up the length of responses like `HTTP 200 OK\r\nContent-Length: 2\r\n\r\n{}` which make up a majority of all traffic to the nearest encrypted block?

Guys, chatgpt seems not to be working. Princess is able to answer all your questions! It's grok, so less woke and has rant context. It is possible to say: @princess, fact check what @whimsacle said in last message. Who is the most accurate @pony or @pany? Questions do not have to be related, it's just optional info that it has before answering your question.

I don't know how coffee and black tea makes me sleepy but as soon as I drink even one sip of red bull i am *locked* the fuck in

!dev Has networking with people ever efficiently and effectively helped you getting a job? I have my doubts on the method.
