Elastic APM, Mixpanels are crappiest piece of software.

If you find these in your org, and you have PM wanting to build on top of these piece of garbage prepare to leave.

The year is 2050. There's only three jobs left:

I had some time to rebuild our friend, Adrit - https://adrit.dorbai.com

still playing around with some features like data analysis...I somehow can't slide >4mb files past vercel

We just hit the 1 million mark on the Stop Killing Games EU initiative! 🥳

Imagine a workplace. A workplace that is planning a local event for tomorrow with deals and a free discount code for those who arrive.
Only thing is: everything is chaos, no one is taking responsibility for the event, no one communicates about changes or how the event is going to be.

Now you get a call off duty. You have to check a discount code that wasn't working. You were to set it up for the event. But apparently they decided to open the doors for the event TODAY. You get a call 5 minutes after the first. "Is it done yet?" NO. Because you have to FIX CODE and deploy changes because they don't have any staging environment, no proper testing environment and (best of all) development mostly connected directly to the production database.

This! This is my job.
I am so fucking mad.

I need courses on how to grow my spine even more and demand what should be fucking law at this point.
Or maybe just leave. I'm the only dev.. 😎

If ChatGPT calls my problem a "classic" or it's solution a "subtle quirk of <framework>" one more fuckin time I'm gonna be the first human to murder an AI

> Cynics and pessimists are a quite similar breed, however. Some animals, when cornered, fight to the death. Other animals roll over, resigned to their fate. The cynic, early in life, does not get the answers he wishes. The pessimist, too, realizes that the life he wants will not be handed to him. Both find themselves too weak or too cowardly to press on, despite these initial setbacks, and they then play the next logical role: that of the perpetual naysayer. This way nothing can hurt them. They know nothing, so their knowledge is safe and secure from refutation. They want nothing, therefore their desire is never thwarted. They hate nothing, and therefore can never be attacked and overpowered by an enemy. They love nothing, and are thus never in fear of losing their beloved, losing hope. So afraid of life, they cease living, and derive their power from the blanket criticism of all things – and yet they do not die, do they? They continue to eat and breathe, a hero and sage in their own minds. They are like a child who quits a game of checkers after losing the first two pieces. The only reason I write of them here and now is because I have this tendency in myself and am sympathetic to it, though I have no patience for it. There is room for these people in life, perhaps, but not in magic. Cynics never question their cynicism and pessimists never sour of their ennui. They are best left to their mud pond – at least when they look in the muddy pool, the reflection is somewhat undistorted. You need not worry about these things, however. You have a sky to see – blue changing into black.

Finally got paid (apparently they sent my money to the wrong account lmao).

So I bought:

- A Guitar Rig Kontrol 3. It's an old hardware designed for some specific soft, but it contains a soundcard, 8 foot switches, one expression pedals (continuus), 2 other expression pedals input, 2 audio input, 2 audio output. So I'll be able to plug my guitar and control FX from there. All of this for 50 euros at the pawn shop

Being a programmer helped me tremendously for electronic music because I can write actual drivers for old hardware.

- I also found an old bike on the street. Brakes and transmission, seat and tyres are fucked, but the frame and wheels seems healthy enough. I can get a decent bike for the price of parts and labour.

Well it finally happened… I deleted the production DB 🤦🏼‍♂️

Rollback successful but lost over 3 hours of production data

In the US, you can go to a gas station and buy a "Pink Pussycat" pill that claims to be a sexual pleasure enhancement pill for women. In reality, it's basically poison.

I have repurposed the Blockchain technology to something meaningful and fair. Therefore it will be a flop 😅 I'm open sourcing soon, just have some final tweaks to make

I am so confused about what I'm doing in the near future. I want to get out of this hellhole but there's a slight chance I could finish my PhD with someone, who's actually not a bad dude.(My current supervisor is... not helpful) But I will have to stay here and work very hard and not get paid, but PhD is over in less than a year. I'm fucked with system implementation tho, since I'll be changing directions and have to start fresh.
I could also get a job and move away, and be paid a decent wage. But then there's no telling when I'm gonna finish the PhD.

Which would you choose if you were me? Which one should I pursue?

I hate rollover video previews!!! Looking at you TouTube!!!! If I want a preview of the video, make it a button or something. The thumbnail disappearing and network activity lag every single time my mouse happens to barely caress an item in the video feed is SUPER FUCKING ANNOYING!

Especially on mobile!!!

What‘s the purpose of separating your code into "independent" modules if each module contains everything anyways?

So I finally received a job offer...it's a much better salary BUT...small company, coporate office is currently a rented out home till the new location is ready, less than 50 people total, not sure how to feel about it to be honest, the offer is quite attractive though, might just take the plunge and hope we don't sink to the bottom.

dev communities can be the most toxic as well as the most welcoming at the same time.

just depends on what your timing is. You can get a bunch of links to help debug your issue or you can get told to "kill yourself".

You never know.

— how much for your services?
— $100, no ass to mouth, no rough stuff
— no, I mean how much to rewrite my app in laravel
— I said no ass to mouth

Apparently all companies are now a 'cutting-edge, digital transformation partner'. lmao. lol.

God I want my guitar why is time so slow???

Anybody know why devrant is no more on Google play store.

I had to go through apkpure

Yeah turns out writing a shell is a whole lot more work than I thought

Fuck man, why can't I just find a cool project that is actually doable in a normal lifetime

Devrant not loading again... hit refresh... still nothing... is today the day it finally snuffs it?

Sigh with relief as the UI starts to load...

And there it is: a lengthy ode to the best pest control service in Hockaloogie, Alabama.

The natural balance of the universe has been restored.

I hate deprecations! Adopted a web project that was actively maintained until 2023, how can it already be so "legacy" that none of its npm scripts work anymore?

Static Types work great with my wife !!!
I ask: "how much it costs?"
She sits down, and starts "well, it depends.."
me: "number"
she: 500.

Amazing! I'll try object/enum style next, see if she can answer 'return {cost: 500, cur: "GBP"}'.

Then I'll try Rust strings for shorter tales of her co-workers :)

Guys what if the temperature never goes down and this is the beginning of the boogaloo?

I will be your king.

It's so not in the sun here, that my headphones stopped working. I guess I'll just go home again. Also, since I work with li-on batteries at the community service I'm a bit scared for my phone getting hot and stuff. We throw these batteries at eachother for a reason.

Still not paid. Bitch better have my money

> Ok, the client is performing this HTTP request, it's missing some parameters, let's fix it... inspector has this handy initiator tab, lemme just BY THE RINGS WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS

I still refuse to believe anyone looked at this burning pile of shit you insist on calling a framework and was like "yeah this deserves to be released"

Am I in a toxic work environment or not?

1. I suggested implementing some code guidelines for our team so we can all work the same way. Lead architect sends me a DM telling me to stop talking about it until after projectX is done because it might stress out other devs. Friday he talks about how important it is to use standardised tools and ways of doing things.
2. Spent a week working on a bug fix and they said solution is good, but then invalidated all of my work by DM-ing me saying it's unusable because i worked on wrong branch and he quickly fixed it over the weekend and I should just copy his (inefficient) code.
3. I ask him a basic question of what version the backend software is using and he doesn't even respond. I ask another team member who quickly helps me check. it would have taken 1 fucking integer to answer that question. i wanted to learn the backend stack, but not so much anymore.
4. Lead doesn't respond to project management software ticket mentions.
5. Lead randomly makes hotfixes to the QA server without prior notice so the backend randomly goes down at times during work hours and then my local copy of the front end stops working for no reason at all when I am trying to focus on bug fixes
6. UX/UI designer's screen designs look completely different than the actual app, so I spent weeks implementing a feature looking like his nice designs, then having to change it again, taking another week.
7. Generally poor comms
8. Leadership mentioned jobs are safe, then 2 months later retrenched a bunch of people.
9. People getting sick all of the time.
10. Nobody gives a shit about technical debt
