There is always something, innit? Some "data scientist" in waaaaaay over his head complained to my teammate that the piece of code she wrote was faulty in some overly weird edge case that only occurred to him, but was never actually seen in practice. But the jerk complained in a very, very annoying and entitled and pushy way.
He brought my girl almost to tears.
Now, im not exactly the most delicate in my manners, but One. Doesn't. Mess. With. My. Team.
I just sent an email to his manager that from this day forward, every single piece of code anyone on his entire team requests will be tested to the entirety of the possible inputs. They had asked for some delay measurement tool. I've locked my cluster for... nineteen hours now, just computing the complete list of test parameters. 3.1Gb of parquet files with possible input combinations. Or about 1200 USD coming out of their budget *just to _test_ this one fucking function*. And about a week delays for the tests to complete.
And a chip on my shoulder.

P.S. the data science team manager is actually nice and all, and he is also at the end of his patience with his jerk of a teammate. Someone is getting a bloody poor quarterly review.

the most important thing of all is STABILITY! IF ITS NOT STABLE DO NOT USE IT

Week: 112 (Year 3)

How is the weekend going, lads?

Question: What’s something you think 90% of people are secretly bad at?

last Weekend : https://devrant.com/rants/19376600

Has anyone ever worked anywhere that actually had complete user stories to work on? Every job I've had requires me to ask clarifying questions for almost every part of a ticket before I work on it. I wonder how nice a job could be if acceptance criteria and expectations were known before a ticket was assigned.

What the fuck is happening in 2025 where half the websites can't keep the session open?

How is it "good security practice" to require me to login every few hours?

Shit like this makes me think software has plateaued. If devs can't make a fucking session work in the big 2025, then there's no hope.

ok asked google what can it tell me about myself and it slapped me with the fact that i wrote an image format and called it JOJ.

it didn't pick up on the reference so 0/10.

also it identified me as a programmer rather than a shitposter, i feel profoundly hurt by this injurious misprofiling. am i a joke to you? don't answer.

anyway only *now* i finally understand what "online footprint" really means and why some people are kinda paranoid about it. but i am not going to go back and delete ten years of willie tanner jokes, because the fact that the dad from alf was allegedly caught in a crackhouse having sex with homeless people will never not be funny to me, sorry but not sorry.

- joins new company
- here for a month
- finds out entire team is getting laid off
- hr: "can you finish your 30 day survey please"

@ostream please come to snek, need your advise.

The last Windows update has fucked up the positions of the files on my desktop.

At this point I‘m not even mad. Also not disappointed anymore. We are past that.

Now it’s more of a confirmation of the ever declining quality of MS products.

So today I was reading a paper on different languages and I saw how good Zig is on the paper:
- same performance as C
- memory safety (underlined behavior, not trump's one)and rust
Basically the same with concurrency

Maybe I will need to switch languages;
Any arguments for C except the ecosystem, it's age/maturity and easy syntax?

Any criticism on Stack Overflow's design? Not because of anything recent, I just thought of asking. Either about the design, and about the directions it's taking as well.

I think they are doing a good job. Everything gets better and better.

So pissed off at this job stuff. All promises and no resolve (async pun).

I decided to buy a rack + PC case and a new HDD. Since I wasn't expecting to need to change the HDD for years, I put it on the mount that has the screws in an annoying place. Guess which drive is dead on arrival -_- I'll have to remove the whole box from the rack I think to get to it

I'm happy with the new setup when it's running, but the constant issues are annoying (mainly pains of fresh linux setup or having to wait on parts and things to arrive on time)

Rust is NSFW. Please keep this forum clean.

there's only one sure way to quit smoking and it's called lifeand by life I mean coughing up some blood a second time

First time I'm saying a good thing about MS :
Visual Studio (only the installer) !

It lets you install MSVC, gcc, WinAPI headers and Window's SDK very easily!

Also I started a second graphics project (go check and star the first, https://github.com/3dgoose/WIPE, https://git.sr.ht/~threedgoose/WIPE), a WinAPI+Direct3D engine (it hurts deep in the ass) !

At your company, ever dealt with the situation where no one has any fucking idea who's in charge of what responsibility and there is a lack of process everywhere?

"Hey, I'm onboarding. I was told to contact person x for troubleshooting."
"Uh yeah we don't know but ask that other guy"
"Uh yeah that other guy is on leave so ask this girl"
"the girl says ask other girl"

Sometimes it gets deep and shit doesn't get done for at least a week.

Sigh. There are a number of 'app' makers out there that slap their website into a WebView framework and call it 'our app'. Are you fucking kidding me? If you develop an app, make it at the very least native, not a port. Lazy fuckers.

Everyone knows nVidia is a bubble. Even fucking Bloomberg is reporting on the circular flow of money between nVidia/OpenAI/Intel/AMD/Anthropic/CoreWeave/Oracle (remember, Oracle's first customer for its first 3 years was the CIA).

Even the US Government has put money into this scam by propping up 10% of Intel for .. national security or something?

So everyone can see this bubble clearly. Can anything be done about it? How do you keep a bubble from destroying everything when it's in plain sight?

Whoever is able to hold their shorts for nVidia is going to make a shit-ton (*not financial advice)

New Job new me.

Looks like it's pure chaos. Randomly turning on aws features until things work. Lots of money down the drain.

Oh well. It's a job.

i dont know frontend or react

now toss in nextjs and pandacss

why the fuck is some box from @styled-system/jsx' possibly squishing the height of an image

why the fuck is my color not being applied to the existing <Image , the existing approach could be wrong

how is it that there's new frameworks and libraries coming out all the time ,but front end development hasn't been solved to be retard proof so i can do it

Sid at work: https://reddit.com/r/...

I just bought some new device that has AA bateries included, already inserted, and obviously, already leaking.
Clowns.

Comment your code? Nah. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to read.

ChatGPT Go is free for India for a full year.

Lord help the LLMs learning off of Indians.

So, Sid got pissed about the ball-kicking and the elephant theft. He called me on the phone, crying like a baby. "Why you do this to me?" he say with his dumb accent. I laughed and hung up. But then, a week later, I hear he coming to my country for revenge. Perfect, I think. Time for round two.
I wait at the airport with a plan. He arrive, looking all sweaty and mad, dragging a suitcase full of curry powder or whatever. I follow him to his hotel. Sneak in at night. He sleeping again, this time with a burger wrapper stuck to his face from the one I left before. Gross. I decide to up the game. No kicking this time. I shave his head while he snores. Bald like a egg. Then I glue a fake mustache on his chin, but upside down. Looks stupid.
He wake up screaming in the mirror. I hide in the closet and watch. He run out the room, trip over his own feet, fall into the pool. Splash. Everyone laugh. I sneak out, steal his suitcase. Inside: nothing but socks and a picture of his lost elephant. Pathetic. I burn the socks in the hotel trash. Smell bad anyway.
On the way out, I leave another burger under his new pillow. This one with extra onions. He hate onions.
I fly home again, even more satisfied. Sid probably still bald and wet.
I swear on his bald head that this all really happened.
Also, I took his hotel toothbrush and threw it in the toilet.

The mods are sleeping now. Let's party!

Isn't it awesome when someone's "bugfix" causes new bugs which prompt "bugfixes" for the bugfixes in the same merge request?

Wow Been a while since I opened this app. Hi devRant

Job spec fallacies and red flags. I will start:

* "Fast-paced environment" = "You will rarely finish something before start something else"
* "Ability to juggle competing priorities" = "our leaders don't align holistically and everything is important"
* "Opportunity to interact with all departments" = "You will accumulate functions"
* "Industry pioneers" = "We didn't research our competition when we started"
* "Leaders in the segment" = "We still haven't researched our competition"
* "Matrixed teams" = "we don't know how to structure our organisation"
