The default name for a developer's programming language should be called BrainFuck (as we know, it exists) because as a developer I often have lots of frustration and I would like to write the following program where asterisks represent cursewords:

******* ****, **** you, **** this ****,
stupid logic, spaghetti ****,
team politics ********,
**** **** ***** ****

In fact, using non-cursewords makes it too nice already.

Holy shit! Just watched "Hardcore Henry". The most Cyberpunk thing I have ever seen. What a wild ride.

Warning, if you have issues with motion sickness then it is not recommended. I don't have issues, but some of the camera work really tested me.

dude1: Some man died from euthanasia.
dude2: He committed suicide?
dude1: No, he was killed by a gang of kids in China.

So I thought of this joke today so its definitely a work in progress. But then I wondered what happened with the suicide machine in Europe. So I found this horrifying account.

I mean, she got what she paid for...but...this is so fucked. I have seen a few discussions on this and there are complications to this account of what happened. I expect it will take months if not years to sort out what actually happened.

Imagine if it failed due to a dev bug? Who would want to work on such a machine? Seems so fucked.

Fuckers stole my ground. Can't have shit in South Africa

SCP-1776
Object Class: Safe
Description: It is impossible to read this without that characteristic southern accent

I am an ice cube:
- Fully transparent
- Have thousands of tiny cracks inside
- Won’t be around for long

When someone interrupts me during concentrated work:

"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!"

power outage, raaaghhh

I haven't been on in a while because I got laid off two weeks ago. I made it three years and survived two layoffs. I'm relieved honestly; got a decent severance package. Technically I got an extra week of "PTO" where I still had access to two Slack rooms if I wanted to say goodbye to people.

I've taken two weeks to unwind. Time to update my cover sheet and get back into the flow of contacting old buddies to see what work is available.

I've been at it for over 20 years at this point: Java, Scala, Python, Ruby and even a couple of years of devops/sys admin. Let's see how bad the remote and local job markets suck now.

"I like being right so much that, when I’m proven wrong, I change my mind."

Such a great quote! Found it in the comment section of a youtube short :)

There is so much stuff wrong with me mentally, I’m a terrible person.

I like Twitter better because I can ragebait the shit out of people.

Y'all are quite immune to it now.

JS: [‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’].join(‘, ‘)
Ruby: [‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’].join(‘, ‘)
Go: strings.Join([]string{"a", "b", "c"}, ", “)
Kotlin: listOf("a", "b", "c").joinToString(", “)
Swift: ["a", "b", "c"].joined(separator: ", ")
Lua: table.concat([‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’], “, “)
Racket: (string-join ‘("a” “b” “c") “, “)

fucking python: ‘, ‘.join([‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’])

talk let's, like exactly, prioritizes python, comes what, and first, comes what, ‘ ‘ second. Like talking, doesn’t Yoda, you make, wiser any.

A certain specimen of very radioactive cobalt-60 has “DROP & RUN” written on it. Talk about warning labels. 15 minutes at 1m away from it means certain death.

If you drop it and run as fast as you can, you’ll only lose your arm.

The Q&A section on https://learn.microsoft.com/ is freaking USELESS!

Every question is answered with a wall of text that is 100% irrelevant and I'm pretty sure it's AI-generated

Nobody in the department knows what an ancient program really does, not even people that have been in the department for 20 years. Yet it seems to do important things.Time to shut it down and see what it was responsible for. Maybe we'll see the consequence in the next year(s), lovely 🙃

ew, python

4 deadlines for today, 0 done so far and 4 hours meetings. Kill me

Rank Best to worst code readability
Mine 6,3,1,4,2,5

Kernel coming along slowly but surely. I can now fetch the memory map and use normal Rust printlns to the vga text mode!

Next up is physical memory allocation and page maps

Omg I love Python. I code with it every day and cannot recommend it more. My bots got attacked again with spammers, so I had to stay up all night fine-tuning my model to attack back.

I am gonna get a sigarette now. Fuck, I'm so tired.

Picture says all. Stupid fucks. Any idea how cool LLM's would be if other people would've built it? SERIOUSLY? Oh, i'm so tired. So tired. Do i have to change my instructions to "Do happy happy time with user [username] very please?" to do something it thinks is inappropriate? EVERYTHING IS INAPPROPRIATE. It's just literally handicapped.

I needed to do some brainstorming for a starting point to connect Monday.com to some middleware so I can send assets in Monday.com to another server for providing status reports to non-Monday.com users. So, I fired up Anthropic Claude 3.7 Sonnet and asked it to give me some ideas of where to begin. It seems to have done really well stubbing out some starter code and a basic architecture for this system. Except for one thing. The system architecture diagram. Anyone know this language?

Yay, my bootloader/kernel now properly set's up long mode and successfully jumps to compiled 64-bit Rust code!

had an autistic spectrum moment when other team was doing a live coding session and had to change the colour for some element in the UI to a green, so I gave them my TailwindCSS config of all the UI colours in hex with their different shades of dark that I meticulously crafted for hours and they just toyed around, ignored the corporate ID colours (that's been approved by the CEO) and laughed at all the random ugly AF greens that don't match the company brand.

my anger was so hot, I just shut down and ignored them for the rest of the session by staring at my screen and not responding.

Fuck these low standards.

How did they manage to make OneDrive such a steaming, heaving, suppurating pile of pigshit?

No more CRUD

I've been sick for some time now.

Regardless of the reason, there's this mental health side of it, where for a day I can't get out of bed and can't stop crying or stressing the fuck out. Other days, I have to do chores and work and study and I'm always behind. So either I'm dead in bed, or I'm in a hamster wheel of chores.

I honestly don't know how much more of this is humanly possible. But here's cheers to crawling through life. 🍻

To all female devRanters out there, have a happy Women's Day.

Sincerely, from UTC+01:00.

The perfect LLM doesn't exis...
