Sorry boss, I can't work today, fucking Intellij is indexing again.

Access modifiers are the fucking worst mistake in the history of programming languages I swear. This shit either is not used at all or is used in every fucking place. Here's how it goes every 2-3 months for me:
1. use a utility library from other team that does exactly the thing I need to use it for
2. there's an error because 1% of the logic makes an assumption that could easily have been generalized away
3. code is like `assume x = stuff, do some trivial shit, pass x to f`
4. ok, i'll just shallow copy the code and rewrite it a little bit so `x` makes sense for our use case
...
5. beep boop fuck you, f is not accessible in this scope
motherfucker, what do you mean not accessible. oh its fucking private. wait, is f some mutable member of an object that needs to be encapsulated to protect the state integrity? no. is it something that can easily change in the future and cause some compatibility problems? fuck no. f is a shitty pure function that does no fucking side effecting, no nothing, but it is an iMpLEmEnTaTiOn DeTaIL and needs to be fucking private because fuck me and fuck my evening of catching up with work.
This gets me every time. Please tell me who the fuck are you hiding this code from, me, yourself, your ex?? Please just let me tinker with your shit and shoot myself in the foot if I so desire. I swear i will throw you a pr and make this shit generic in a week or two but now i _really_ _need_ _to_ _get_ _my_ _shit_ _done_ and don't have time to copy and paste the whole thing god knows how deep into my code so I dont' reinvent the fucking wheel here.

I just spent 2 hours configuring my parents' new Huawei wifi router using my phone's Google translate because the UI is all Chinese.

'oh so that's why it was cheaper'

It's 5 to 10am and I'm still in my bed. Daily is at 1015. So fucking difficult to get up lately since there's less sunlight. A couple of weeks ago I was getting up at 7 or 8 by myself. Life gets shitier when autumn begins. 😪

Spotify app is so full of shit. Everything is so slow, downloaded songs still load slow if there is no internet connection, the ui is atrocious. It's so bad I found myself unconsciously switching to using youtube more and more despite it requiring me to keep the screen alive.

Our stand-ups last an hour. 15 minutes of board review and 45 minutes of chit chat. Oh and we have 15 minutes of team coffee in the afternoon every day. My new team sure love talking. 😅

Not awkward, just annoying. Had a recruiter call me out of nowhere and then try to pressure me into immediately declaring my salary expectations straight up saying "so we know you're not wasting our time". You're the one calling me, asshole; I tell him to state his budget so I know he's not wasting my fucking time. He named a sum that was laughable, especially knowing this company offered much more in their own listing.

Just reminiscing about the time I needed to recover my ldap password and the procedure consisted of an asthmatic tech support dude showing it to me in a giant spreadsheet.

Our management pushes very hard to move most company communications to Facebook Workplace and I'm proud to say that after almost 2 years and with less than a month left here I still haven't made an account. I didn't fucking detox myself from social media to deal with this bullshit at work so that these greedy morons can pretend we're a 'communituh'.

Team during retro: management is full of shit, what can we do about it?
Me, already during notice period: I have some ideas

My company is a joke so I wrote my resignation in comic sans. 🤷🏼‍♀️

hello devRant. I've been lurking for some time but I have angers and grievances I'd like to air too.
