Subject: a rant for devRant
Hello,
Not entirely sure why or when exactly it happened, but after I joined mailing lists I have a pet peeve for people who don't use a proper subject line, or don't use email when I literally made a mail server for that purpose (some organizations really prefer calling apparently). Is it really that hard to summarize a message in one sentence? Hell half the time even the message itself is just a few sentences.
Also the greeting and salutation at the beginning and end of email messages. I find them so redundant. Has anyone ever gotten any meaningful information out of "Hello", "Greetings", "Dear", or something like that? Or "Best regards" or whatever. I get that it's just being polite but it's so meaningless! I really don't like using them anymore. Just a message block and who it came from, that's all it needs to me. Instead pour some effort into the damn subject, the title of whatever drivel you're putting out there! Or replying to an email *only* when the subject matter is still related! Or actually replying to the damn email if it's still that subject matter...
I probably sound like an old man, but seriously.. email isn't a hard concept once you "get it". Anyone can write a halfway decent letter, why isn't that the case for email?
Best regards,

I was lazy tonight and wanted to implement something of this kind very fast… is this really dumb or okay in your opinion?
If it's dumb, do you have a better and cleaner solution?18 -
Eureka! I have done it! I have written a program that will replace 80% of programmers with an AI!
The approach is to use grammar identification with language heuristics to recognize solution patterns using multilayered neural networks. The code source uses trusted pattern samples that are scored by human programmers. The code is programmed using text duplication and placement from the trusted sources.
TLDR: Uses pattern matching to copy and paste from Stack Overflow.1 -
I had a few products that I was working on, put myself really hard into those products, started a business and was ready to take a first round of investments when suddenly I lost my job in mid May because I had to take care of my mom that suffered a Stroke and since then I've been helping her.
This is driving me crazy because I'm engaged and had to use all of the money I was saving to pay my moms house and medical expenses; Now my fiancee is handling everything alone and not being able to help her and my mom, because I'm broke right now, is driving me crazy.
I only get crappy dev projects that put my mental health down. Don't really know what to do, I've been putting all my stress on my fiancee since last week and now she doesn't want to talk
I thought that even in this whole situation going on, I wasn't going to be so affected mentally and emotionally and honestly I don't know what to do nothing makes me feel better and start to think straight1 -
I just been feeling really burned out recently to the point I just feel things are just meaningless. I feel unappreciated at work or by people in my life. I appreciate myself but the pandemic is really getting to me. I had to take a break from studying at times when I couldn't focus or got too out of touch. I'm usually better than this.
I tried reaching out as I continue to put up with my current consulting position, study and job searching when I'm not too burned out. I just feel alone in this. Can anyone relate?3 -
I became good enough to be hired as a developer by reinventing lots of wheels and making mistakes. A lot of mistakes.2
-
Don't know.
All I know is that I suck at calculus but I write good code.
Weird.
If I would have to decide, early on I wrote random stuff 'til it worked.
Then I attempted to comprehend what I just did and started reading books.
That's probably when I first understood what I was doing.6 -
trying to rotate the character in Unreal Engine based on player input. It rotates around some sort of super weird point, so it looks like it's driving "backwards" while rotating, instead of rotating around the center of the mesh... sigh..
...
...
Solution: pass down the rotation value to the animation blueprint, rotate rootbone.
SUCK IT <.< See? it's not that hard, nor awkward. ffs.2 -
Today is the day when we rip out our old deployment system and get some new blood running through the CI/CD pipelines. Wish me good luck! Please...2

Dunno if I would say I've become a good coder.
I regularly see stuff written by others and think, holy shit I couldn't manage that.
But somehow I've built a career out of people telling me what they need and me producing solutions for them. So they pay me.
I'm fairly personable, ask questions, listen to answers, when I fuck up (which is still just as often as 15 years ago) I take responsibility.
On the tech side, just keep doing it. Tackle one problem after another. Ask others and of course:

Being at a shitty job with me as the only person on the project. I check almost everything thrice so that I have as few problems as possible in the future.

I progressively became more right over the course of 30 years. At the point where I was contextually right more often than not, I determined that to be "good." Then I kept getting better, just in case.9

I brought this up before, but what’s with these claims of getting a job after learning to code for a few months? Can this profession be learned that quickly? Am I just dumb for taking years to get my degrees and land a great paying development job and gaining skills and experience to become proficient? My self esteem takes a huge hit after reading these things but what they leave out is whether these jobs are internships, how much they were paid, where they worked etc.
Sorry, just a little incoherent and cranky bc i slept for just a few hours due to a toothache. I’m not blaming these people at all, I’m just kinda questioning my abilities atm8 -
[wk237 - how you know you got good at programming]
idk, i dont think im good, ive got to a point where i can just eyeball those stupid interview questions, which makes me happy, but thats just basic logic -
Stocks are up, bitcoins is up, gold is up, bond rates are down... Which means prices are up...
COVID cases are up...
Nothing makes sense anymore... Maybe I should just give up...14 -
Practice? Also good is relative, I don't considered myself "good" but it depends on compared to what/who.
Weird question overall. -
I can't categorically or systematically answer your question now because my IDe is starring right at me.
-
it's a bit annoying when you, as a consumer, have to rev-engineer the temporal coupling among dozens of rest methods.
It's not fun. NOT fun at all2 -
Metatrader and its forum. I have asked a question 2 weeks ago, simple one. Just want to know how it calculates loss in backtest because it does not match my calculation. And nobody is answering. Then I go add comment to support thread, and my comment was deleted twice! wtf. And I cannot find in documention or in other forums my answer. Need to try stackoverflow maybe. In official forum they should know best. And it looks like it is active forum.6
