when you're adding whiskey to your coffee during work hours, you know you really should find a new job.

should I stay or should I go...

that's the question.

I think I know the answer, but some reason I'm still dragging my feet, searching for reasons not to

In modern C#, everything's an interface.

Zig is actually sort of similar. I guess I owe it to C# for teaching me the magic.

Sorry, I mean:

IZig is IActually ISort of ISimilar. (IContinued...)

fail to comprehend code

dig through debugger

make change expecting only to fix one of two test cases

it fixes both test cases, not just one,

pain ensues, code makes less sense to me

should i risk my job security and take the better pay or will it go bankrupt in 2 months and leave me on the street

Opened a legacy PHP file from 2008.

No functions.
2,000+ lines.
Inline SQL.
HTML inside echo statements.
A single if (true) wrapping the entire thing like some cursed gift box.

At the top:
// Do not modify. Works perfectly.

At the bottom:
It writes to two databases. Only one exists.

Somewhere in the middle:
It sends an email…
to the client’s ex-wife.

I closed the file.
Rebooted my laptop.
Took a walk.
Still not okay.

I meant to upload this Reddit post from r/TrueOffMyChest as an image, but apparently that feature is broken. So I transcribed it. This rant writes itself. It's absolutely discrimination and by consent of the state. This, plus age and viewpoint discrimination, is why I own and operate my own business. I refuse to be beholden to HR assclowns trying to virtue signal their way into their next promotion.

"So I did an experiment, I work in CS and decided to test what the gender bias is. So I took my CV And changed the name to a female name. I'd send it out with my real name, then a few days later (or few days before) with a female name.

Out of 100, my applications with a male name got 7 responses for interview.

Out of 100, my applications with a female name got 45 responses to interview

The female resume was 650% more likely to get a callback. And the resumes were identical.

So then I thought 'what about someone looking for working class jobs?' So I decided to focus on restaurants-servers, hosting, etc. Made a fake resume, and responded to craigslist ads with both male and female names. Sometimes the male went first, sometimes the female went first.

Out of 100, my applications with a male name got 10 responses to interview

Out of 100, my applications with a female name got 87 responses to interview

The female resume got 870% more responses."

The average meeting: "I think that's a really great idea. Let's circle back on this and take a 60k view, leveraging the low-hanging fruit so we can identify you championed this technology".

Seriously? Championed? As if the other bs language weren't enough. And this is language that they use to convince clients. "My consultant championed A.I.". Are you fucking kidding me? It sounds ridiculous. Needless to say, we lost that client.

- vaguely blonde
- stupid, npc face
- skinny fat
- sloth eyes, think Sid from Ice Age
- a fucking tester that likes unit tests in JS, especially Jest
- talks a lot, but every time she says something everyone just ignores it because there was almost no substance to what she said
- extremely annoying
- interacting with her would be the number one top level displeasure of your day, any day. A day when you wipe the entire prod db is a better day than the day you have to explain something to her

if you guessed jestdotty, you're wrong. that's just one of my ex-coworkers.

"We really struggle to find people with this skil set"

So you're going to hire me, pay well, and not be full of shit, right?

ever meet a person and he's very interesting but then his retarded girlfriend gets in the way

I hate

I'm not even interested in him this way. now their relationship broke up and he's disappeared and I'm so mad. I wanted to nerd out about occultism not get sucked into some fucking insecure kink whore's sexual drama oh my God. she made him feel bad and self destruct and I don't wanna date him so now I have to wait for him to get over it so I can talk to him and nerd out about shit again. I hate

mount binds
very useful :P

I'm so sick and tired of rewriting an ESM loader I gave in and just yeeted an lib.

No external libs, no bundler, no transpiling just some vibe coded crappy thing. But it does what I need to when prototyping.

This is a truly WTF moment about messed up responses to X11 session removal in Gnome.

2 weeks ago I published a blogpost about the upcoming plans of GNOME 49 and the eventual removal of the X11 session. Since then, instead of looking at feedback, bugs and issues related to the topic, we all collectively had to deal with the following, and I am not exaggerating one bit:

Fascists and Nazis
Wild Conspiracy Theories that make Qanon jealous
“Concerned” Trolling about the Accessibility of the Wayland session
A culture war where Wayland is Gay, and X11 is the glorious past they stole from you

In my wildest dreams I could have never made this shit up. You all need mandatory supervised access to the Internet from now on

Still alive. Wrist’s been hurting lately so I’ve had to stop crocheting 😭

But I got into paint by numbers!

For fuck's sake, what are the creators of tailwind thinking? So, I made the mistake of upgrading to tailwind v4 and now my site is broken. Who in the fuck thought removing half the features is an "improvement"?.

wE've mAde ConFiGUraTion EaSier with CSS.

Sure, let's see. It sounds neat on paper, a "CSS-first" approach. But when you've got existing projects with a meticulously crafted tailwind.config.ts file, it's not simplified at all, it's a migration nightmare. Suddenly, my custom colors and breakpoints are all gone or behaving unpredictably because the new system decides to interpret them differently.

Do these people actually work on any project that is long-term or is everything they work on just green-field?

Because when you have hundreds of pages and custom built rules, and now eveything is broken for no goddamn reason, it's not fun, is it?

I've now wasted days on this shit when I should have shipped so many features.

I simply can't wait to switch my career to something else. Like, this stuff is just so bad man. Come on.

Shitty jobs and not staying up to date make you stale. Probably having to find a new job, my skills are barely updated and now I find myself in a shitty situation. Going to have to do my best now.

Don't let a demanding, shitty job cause you to stay behind! I can't stress it enough. Dev skills are transferrable, employer dev skills mostly aren't, especially if you are tied to their brand.

Java is such a cool language. I can't C bugs.

Suing AI firms for piracy is right up there with charging mobsters for tax evasion, but that's the world we've come to.

I noticed an increased usage of the word unalive, such as in "to un-alive someone" on youtube, spoken in the videos and written in the comments.

I suppose this is to avoid the word kill?

So we are at the stage of changing the language just to avoid using a bad word on a platform of hypersensitive woke snowflakes who will cancel you for saying a specific word regardless of the context it’s been used in?

Please tell me I‘m wrong. 😒

I’ve typed a question into google and the AI generated response was directly contradicting every web search result on the first page.

So, you can’t even rely on it to pull out the correct info, on top of the fact that it might have hallucinated.

Completely useless and deceptive.

It’s depressing to think about how many people blindly rely on this crap not realizing how bad it is.

I don't care for any of your sins of people, government, organisation, companies. I don't mind them at all.

But I only mind one thing: Lying. The one thing that pisses me off. If I had a gun I'd put a bullet right through your eyes.

Speak the truth even if it leads to your death.

Angular sucks the joy out of programming.

Imagine having an ac breaking down when it’s a big heatwave. I kept taking cold showers but felt shittier and shittier. Was kinda surprised when I read the dangers of cold showers during heat waves, but tbh not THAT surprised bc I was wondering why I wasn’t feeling any better after all those showers lol. I got it replaced, but damn!

I want to buy a 4TB external drive, with the sole motivation to "preserve" as many games as I possibly can. I know it's not enough, but I want to save my fav games before they're completely gone from the internet.

I could do that, but then what if the Operating Systems go to shit? What if Windows rolls out an update, where you can't run .exe files anymore? Everything has to be installed and run from the Microsoft Store? What if an "online-only" version of Windows gets released and all previous versions get removed?

I know duh, get the Windows 10 cracked iso file as well. But it just depresses me, looking at the hoops I have to jump if all I want to do is enjoy older games.

i suspect big spam attack soon from the wheelchair elite. https://dr.molodetz.nl will be soon the non-spam version of dr when that happens. It can just filter the spam directly when the bots can't handle it anymore. It also optimizes usernames for clarity: https://devrant.molodetz.nl/Screens....

remember kids. your full potential is dictated by others, not by you

I am creeped out and I hate society

I now have 6 storage drives, ranging from 512GB SSds, to 2GB NVMEs. Out of almost exactly 6TB of storage space, I'm using about 60% of it.

Having so much data seems a bit obscene.

How real do you think the dead internet theory is?

Tell me, how in God's name does opening jetbrains toolbox hard crash the VM it is being run inside?
