as a group i have no idea what the fuck is broken with you all trying to work together

I think GDPR is a pain in the ass but my employer has lied to my doctors about my medical information so suddenly I really like GDPR.

Ssooo.. Turns out, I'm starting a new project in less than 2 weeks. Gotta go to Dublin for 2 weeks.

Fuck.
I'm not a traveling kind of a person...

Reading google revies of hospitals is one of my pet peeves. Like it is certainly not an indication to the hospitals quality. As there are mostly people reviewing who had a bad experience. Also a lot of hysterical people who are like: "Walked into the ER with minor headache. Was appalled at the wait time and left. Never going back there again. Worst service everrrr" or "The service woman at the front desk could neither give me a precise diagnosis nor where I had to go to get my second lobotomy."

I finished Hogwarts Legacy. This game had so much potential, but was an ultimate disappointment.

To the housemate that wondered into the kitchen at 4am and turned the oven off at the perfect time for the chicken I'd forgotten about, thank you.

There is some construction works going in my street and they just cut the internet cable by accident... for the second time.

I love having no internet to get work done :v

I need a polite way to ask someone if they're brain damaged.

Manager: Keep the debug logs
Me: I won't use them as I use the status report or run it manually to see the problem, but fine whatever.

1 week later

Manager: the debug logs are hard to read, the status report is hard to read too but it's a bit more concise
Me: Yes. The fuck you want me to do? I don't use logs and don't care. You can write code, make the logs more useful to you if you want to use them.

my scrum master keeps changing the format of retro and it works worse every time. We're at the 2.5 hour mark right now. It is aggressively hot and humid in the office. Everyone is asleep.

I don't think there's a way to explain to him that the purpose of a retro is not to magically fix things within the format but to financially commit to the preference for conversation, from which the hidden work of resolving conflicts can be billed.

Every day hour minute i have to work on these charts im getting more sad frustrated and annoyed.
I have a function which works perfectly in the mobile versie of the webapp. Copy paste it to the desktop, it’s not working. Something is wrong and i can’t get my head around it. Neither does AI.

Kendo is hell.

For fuck's sake, management is now asking us to provide data converted in % as to how genAI is actually making us more efficient as developers. How the fuck do you even measure that empirically?

It is already BS enough that they track how much we query these AI tools everyday in our development environments, but now they want genAI to produce most of the code templates in our SDK. It can barely produce a working regex or a working python script, let alone a small piece of code that won't stack overflow itself into oblivion. It sometimes takes more time to debug and refactor than to do it myself from scratch.

They ask for our professional opinion, we tell them, they don't give a fuck about it, proceed to think all is rainbows and unicorns, and still ask us the same moronic things as if they were the new messiah's on earth.

Don't get me wrong, genAI can be useful, but why the fuck does management think it will magically solve all our problems when they don't even understand how it works even on the surface.

The only thing that would make sense is a lot of them got money at stake in some AI investment sales pitch bullshit and they try to jam it up our collective throats because otherwise they will loose their investments like there is no tomorrow.

Fuck all of this, I just want to do engineering and build something useful to society. Is it too much to ask?

I got so good at optimizing $3 VPS servers' performance that I want to buy https://shitbox.engineering domain and start a company.

The early 2010's were the best period in time ever and it has just been downhill from there

Running is good for sleep. I wish my lungs weren't fucked, but I ran anyway.

XSS attack means game over, and no httpOnly cookie is gonna save you. Here’s why:
1. I copy the exact html and css of your sign-up form, but make it send data to my server
2. I perform XSS that replaces page content with that malicious form
3. 99% of users think they should sign in again
4. Profit: I now have their login and password.

How is the weekend going?

What's your "I can't believe other people don't know this" hack?

last Weekend : https://devrant.com/rants/16495272

how are vampires real

also whoops

FUCKING WHOOPS

I did not expect to pick a fight with fucking magically enabled people

I have no idea what they can do. I am at such a disadvantage. fuck.

I have regrets. these people have fucking drama. like discord-level drama. with trolling and shit. but it's your life energy. what are you doing! something just tried to eat me for like 20 minutes and I did not like it. I did not learn shielding. my aura seemed to have contracted by itself but this is so unnatural to me

seriously how the fuck are vampires real. it's not a metaphor. how the fuck

I was asked to work more in the backend. I came in as a frontender/ux’er. Had to do one small thing in mvc and now everyone is like whaaat, he likes that? Let’s make him the new ios developer. Yes!
*One of us! One of us! One of us!*

Meanwhile i’m going like, sure i like a challenge and i have a curious attitude but i had a tremendous amount of help from a coworker here?

Job search isn't easy.

Not because there aren't any jobs, but because I am afraid of anything that seems remotely like my current toxic workplace.

Fack.

Tired of everything.

The difference between my CSS and your CSS is that you write z-index: 999999, and I write z-index: 2 to get the same effect.

I achieved this with almost one line of prompt: https://devrant.molodetz.nl/Screenc...

What i did is first get some authentication of https://random.molodetz.nl since the llm can't figure out unique usernames and such. Then just do that simple instruction like "Go there, register, go to general chat, send message, press enter, wait 30 secs, close browser'.

DIT IS FUCKING WORKS. What a time to be alive.

I was actually building this myself, but this sick thing even solves captcha's.

It's the browser_use library. Impressive shit.

My twelve years old daughter saw me using an eletric mixer to puree potatoes, instead of the potato smasher.
She screamed: "You're using AI! That's cheating!"

When did "AI" replaced "Automation"?!?!
It's just like "woke", the word is meaningless now.

If you want to make a passable UI, let chatgpt make it.
If you want to make a good UI, make it yourself.
If you want to make a great UI, test it in iOS Safari as you make it.

User interface: 5/10
User experience: 10/10

My daughter: "why don't you want to do a pinkie promise?"

Me: "because promises have been supported natively for like ten years now."

Me, reading random wikipedia:

A boutonnière (French: [bu.tɔ.njɛʁ]) or butthole (British English) is a floral decoration, typically a single flower or bud, worn on the lapel of a tuxedo or suit jacket.

Wait, that can't be right

butthole.
buttonhole.

OOOOOH

Don't you love it when the docs say that RTCDataChannel is a transferable object and then you try to send it to a service worker and your browser tells you it isn't transferable

I hecking looove web development 😇🔫

It would be nice and more community spirit if people on YouTube would:

- stop using A.I. for voice-over
- stop using A.I. for random comments
- stop using A.I. for video content

It's beginning to become confusing what's real and what's not. I admire real creators, not quick-buck fakers.
