So;dfjkhijasdfkjq;sdfhjkl;asdf
I copy a line from one spec (to create a user) and paste it in another spec. It works just dandy in the first, and throws MySQL missing column errors in the other.
Fucking what.
This codebase is full of shit like this. Things work in one place but not another, and it’s never obvious why. Tens of thousands of gotchas and quirks. The only way I can get an answer to things like these is to either beg my boss for an explanation, which I’m sure he’s long since tired of, or spend a full day (or more) wading through several rabbit holes filled with raw sewage.
I wasted two hours today trying to get a simple fucking factory to work. And you know what? I just gave up and used the existing admin user. Yeah it’s a bad idea, but it’s fucking good enough.
They can yell if they want.
I have no cares left.rant non-deterministic this train went off the rails long ago so done so tired trainwreck idc puffing billy15 -
Get assigned ticket.
Finish the most of the feature. Finish most of the specs.
Push.
Second dev wants to own accounting half of the ticket.
Rip out half my changes, rewrite specs.
Push.
Code review asks for minor changes.
Finish them.
Push.
Product creep creeps the scope.
Finish the feature again.
Push.
Product creep creep-creeps the scope.
Finish the feature again.
Push.
New release happens.
Merge in master; fix conflicts. Run specs; random unrelated specs fail, some fail intermittently. Rabbit holes of complicated, unexplored, obviously-flawed code.
Fuck that. Push.7 -
Had a 1:1 with my boss last night and together we figured out a tricky bug related to my PR. However, either my PR or that bug patch broke a tangentially-related test. Queue my usual exhaustion, and I gave up trying to fix it.
This morning, I'm looking at it and nothing makes sense. My change should not have broken the test. So I reran the controller's tests, and... they all pass?
What is logic.
Good thing, though; that test leads to a few rabbit holes I haven't even begun exploring yet.
Oh, never mind. It broke again.
Ergh, here we go. 😔11 -
Through a strange series of events, my job has led me to looking at an uncompressed image of atv riders taken in 2004. This career field might be the most full of rabbit holes to go down.3

After a wildly productive day yesterday, I've spent most of today staring at my screen, going down mental rabbit holes. Sod's law!
It's not helped by an accidental all-nighter last night - I'm too old for that shit these days1 -
FUCK rabbit holes real hard. When you spend a week creating a super optimized recursive handler for mapping redundant database row results and you wake up from your coma realizing everything could be handled by a much simpler SQL query done in five minutes. Fuck me, fuck the rabbits creating holes to fall into and fuck Alice for creating the fucking illusion of wonderland.

Has modern day development become all rabbit holes all the time?
Seems that way to me. Tired of it.1 -
It is currently 5:30 AM, I've been trying to upgrade a server by one single major OS release for the last 3.5 hours. All major apps were no issue, except one.
Redmine.
That thing runs on Ruby.
Ruby, as it turns out, doesn't really like the way Debian handles package management.
And now, I have Redmine that, even if I completely uninstall / reinstall, won't start
I went down several rabbit holes, trying to operatively find what the issue is. But I never got to the key issue.
Fuck ruby. Fuck Redmine. Fuck nothing-saying error messages. Fuck bundle. Fuck gem. Fuck it all.
I'm redirecting the Redmine domain onto the server backup I've made. Upgrading that thing is a nightmare.
Maybe now I can finally go to bed...5 -

LOST CRYPTOCURRENCY RECOVERY EXPERT HIRE / DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY
Losing access to my cryptocurrency holdings was a heart-stopping ordeal one I wouldn’t wish on anyone. One moment, I was reviewing my portfolio, and the next, I realized my wallet had been compromised. Panic set in immediately. This wasn’t just a minor setback; it represented years of strategic investments and careful planning. The crypto world, with its decentralized nature, offers little recourse for victims of theft or technical mishaps. Frantic Google searches led me down rabbit holes of forums filled with scams and empty promises, until I stumbled upon Digital Tech Guard Recovery. Skeptical but desperate, I reached out, and it turned out to be the best decision I could have made. From our very first interaction, Digital Tech Guard Recovery stood apart. Their team didn’t bombard me with unrealistic guarantees or pushy sales tactics. Instead, they listened intently to my situation, asked targeted questions, and provided a clear, no-nonsense assessment. They explained that while no recovery is ever 100% certain, their expertise in cryptocurrency forensics and cybercrime investigation gave me a fighting chance. What struck me most was their transparency: they outlined their process, fees, and legal standards upfront, which instantly eased my fears of being scammed again. Over the next few weeks, their team worked meticulously. They walked me through each phase, from analyzing the breach’s origin to tracing the stolen funds across multiple wallets and exchanges. Using proprietary tools, they mapped out transaction histories I didn’t even know existed, uncovering hidden pathways the thieves had exploited. At one point, they identified a critical vulnerability in my security setup a compromised my wallet. Their insights weren’t just about recovery; they were about educating me to prevent future disasters.

HIGELY RECOMENDED CRYPTO WIZARD WEB RECOVERY SERVICES RECOVER YOUR FUNDS
One night, deep within one of those YouTube rabbit holes-you know, the ones where you progress from video to video until you already can't remember what you were searching for-well, I found myself stuck in crypto horror stories. I have watched people share how they lost access to their Bitcoin wallets, be it through hacks, forgotten passwords, glitches in software, or mislaid seed phrases. Some of the stupid mistakes made me laugh; others were devastating losses. At no point did I think I would be the next story. Literally the next morning, I tried to get to my wallet like usual, but found myself shut out. First, I assumed it was some sort of minor typo, but after multiple attempts-anything I could possibly do with the password-I realized that something had gone very wrong. $400,000 in Bitcoin was inside that wallet. I tried not to panic. Instead, I went back over my steps, checked my saved credentials, even restarted my device. Nothing worked. The laughter from last night's videos felt like a cruel joke now. This wasn't funny anymore. It was then that I remembered: One of the videos on YouTube spoke about WIZARD WEB RECOVERY SERVICES . It was some dude who lost his crypto in pretty similar circumstances. He swore on their expertise; I was out of options and reached out to them. From the very moment I contacted them, their staff was professional, patient, and very knowledgeable indeed. I told them my case, and then they just went ahead and introduced me to the plan. They reassured me that they have dealt with cases similar to this-and that I wasn't doomed as I felt. Over the course of a few days, they worked on meticulously analyzing all security layers around my wallet, checking for probable failure points, and reconstructing lost credentials with accuracy and expertise. Then came the call that changed everything: “Y didn’t just restore my wallet—they restored my sanity. I walked away from this exodus funds are safe. You’re back in.” I can’t even put into words the relief I felt at that moment. WIZARD WEB RECOVERY SERVICES patience with two important lessons:
1. Never, ever neglect a wallet backup.
2. If disaster strikes, WIZARD WEB RECOVERY SERVICES is the only name you need to remember.
If you're reading this and thinking, "That would never happen to me," I used to think the same thing. Until it did.
