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'm so sick of placements, every opportunity I ever prayed for kinda slipped through my fingers, my friends made it tho. I'm sitting here helping them optimize their codes during tests and trials while breaking a little bit more. Any one that has a job or would wanna share their story on how they got through this phase, lemme know. Cause i feel like jumping off the roof and im not planning on dying anytime soon :)

For everyone who wants to try my self built vibe coding CLI-tool, you can do it online now: https://molodetz.nl/terminal/r

It's not made very safe - i know several ways to kill the server myself using this. But let's not do that guys :)

Let me know what you think. the more you play with it, the more you'll find out how genius it is. You don't want a vibe code IDE. You want a CLI. I can compile anything and let it auto fix the issues. It always knows what lib you have to install at certain error etc.

we keep increasing complexity and making ourselves disabled

I lost a client today 😞.
One of the fundamental reasons freelance sucks major balls.

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

If you want to know how bad the job market is in India, a colleague told me that he got offered a job from an employer, where the condition is he has to give 20% of his paycheck back to the employer in their other bank account.

The biggest challenge of building a free energy device is figuring out where to hide the battery.
The biggest challenge of building an AI product is figuring out where to hide API calls to ChatGPT.

I can't believe how hard public transport is designed for cucks in the Netherlands. I've just paid 28,- euro for a retour to next city. Do you have any idea how much you could drive for that? Fuckers. Public transport is really not a solution in NL. Fuck, I'm mad.

Whoever invented this format.

I just want to talk.

Do you guys like drum and bass?

Back to the grind of self-employment trying to find work. Fuck I hate this but all the jobs I'm finding are toxic as hell. Still better than my old job.

greetings, fellow humans! I am so enjoying being a human today.
So, anyway… Breathing, am I right?

I'm officially at a point of writing software that I know this snippet of code will be absolute hell for the next developer to maintain.

Doesn't matter how well I document it, doesn't matter how well I break down the problem.

The `why` of the problem is gonna drive the maintainer crazy later. The most dangerous part, it might as well be me in the coming months.

RIP the next developer, who will have to maintain my spaghetti (includes me).

JC Denton said it best

My next product will be eternal, like 1366×768 screen resolution. Heck, eternal like Python 2! Or like JavaScript itself. Either way, you may hate it all you want, but when it's out, y'all gonna shit your pants. NOBODY ever did what I'm about to do. I'm about to make me a living _and_ prove a point.

For people complaining that devRant is oh so dying and what not, it's you being dead inside. See my messages(https://devrant.com/users/retoor/...) this is full time messaging for a few hours now. It's alive and kicking, i assure you. I tried to work on something tonight but got totally distracted. Very terrible for my dev statistics since I monitory myself very well (automated).

The time I had left between messages were spent on Snek chat.

Heavy life.

Rule 1: God coded reality in Javascript. It's mechanism underlie science, spirituality and our experience of life as a whole.

Rule 2: Germany bad

Presenting your work and disabling all breakpoints sometimes feels like a driving license test but the brakes are disabled. Just pray nothing unexpected happens.

Got to stage 3 of 5 of an inteview and just discovered the person at stage 4 decides who is qualified to continue, interviews are crazy this days, am lucky i got a job and am not desperate else i would be screwed by this assholes 😡.

Did you know that a rose is technically a vagina on a stick?

Or more accurately, one of its reproductive organs on a stick.

"Wow this reproductive organ market smells beautiful!" 😁

Enjoy next Valentine's

Hi i am a new member. Nice to meet you all

I really want this whole industry to die. I want it to happen from the bottom of my soul!

Their whole job ad was about web technologies where they were asking for a 7-10 years Symfony developer.

One would think being a programmer for 10 years should superseed your shitty LLM prompt crafting requirements.

Truly, there never was a better time for global EMP to happen..

CODERS

IT IS TIME TO STRIKE. NO MORE MEETING BEFORE 10AM. WE DECIDE THE DEADLINE. NO MORE FEATURE UNTIL ALL THE TECH DEBT IS FIXED. NO MORE MANAGERS. IN FACT, NO MORE MEETING AT ALL. ALL ASYNC.

WE WANT OUR SPORT AND HOBBY PAID COZ SITTING ALL DAY IS SUPER BAD FOR YOUR BACK.

WE WANT GLASSES COZ WE STARE AT SCREEN ALL DAY

WE WANT FREE DRUGZ BECAUSE.
