ahem…

Linux is so innocent 😂🐧

Seven more years until I retire.

I am giving you all a license to roast me. Give me the best you got.

This is going to be fun. We are switching our phone system to use Zoom and the turn on date is sometime in October (couple of weeks away). I have a feature I'm working on (automated phone calls) that the salesman said was fully functional (jump through a hoop, stand on your head, turn around three times, type of functional). Tried the steps they gave me, got to #3 and there is no virtual agent API call I can find to hand off/transfer the call. Send our contact at Zoom some questions, responds "That is a feature we might put in a future product. Can't do that right now." WTF?!
Other developers are running into similar "How do we get there from here?" issues that features promised, either don't exist or don't work.

One feature in particular I'm receiving a 403 permission denied error.
K: "Feature X needs to be enabled."
Me: "It is."
<send a screenshot showing the feature enabled>
K: "Your account doesn't have permissions. Have the sysadmin elevate you authentication level."
Me: "I'm an admin"
<send a screenshot showing my admin status>
K: "I'll have to get back with you."

Its been 3 days and no update on my ticket. *sigh*

I've been a gamer since I was a child.

But today, my games play themselves thanks to Python automation. I can enjoy life whilst the bots do the work.

"Automate the boring stuff", I bought this book in 2018 and never touched it but it's like I discovered gold. I've never felt so much joy programming and learning.

It's like my life has been leading just to this very moment. I've been mid-life crisis for 1-2 years now. But no more. I feel like a kid again. Gonna automate everything.

the AI says the code I'm trying to design is very complex a problem, d'awww I'm not a failure 🥺

the solution seems to unironically be to delete half of it and make it far simpler / less features lol

why can't I make my code psychic to what I want, ragh! oh well

Today I made a fucking BANGER ui for my project. Y’all gonna shit your pants when u see it

My senior just created this beauty of an API...

Mixing undefined/null values with empty strings & random hyphens for other variables. And the phone number not following standarised notation (we are a telephone provider)

!rant

Me, reading the GPS for upcoming obstructions: “Man, I really gotta learn the different road signs. Because I’m 99% sure that’s not telling us there’s a man digging his own grave up ahead.”

“That’s roadwork, Amy.”

Say what you want about Angular, but this framework made me like Typescript.

This is too surreal

Crucifixion, bronze bull or rabies: what's the best fate for my mother? Maybe you have other suggestions?

my cat waits for me to be really engrossed into coding and then decides she will take up residence on my desk and chase me off by biting my shoulders, arms, scratching my hands, face jfc

raaghhhh

what is this new habit and why

I only get this engrossed like 2 hours a day come on. WHY YOU RUINING MY JIVE

Are all you guys just bots? Is this just a government experiment they are doing on me?

They're foisting copilot onto Windows 11 users through Windows update now.

Awesome

I will never be a willing participant that legal and moral minefield. My work will not willingly be used to train their models.

There's this tech-wannabe guy who sends me random electronic related questions at the middle of the night. I don't have a gosh darn clue about what's he even up to.
He takes a muzzy photo of his computer screen, not a proper screenshot, and asks for "Will this schematic work if I leave this and that part off of it? Cuz I don't currently have those at my shelf."

Same for sharing a link, take a photo of it.

Protagonist or Antagonist?

I have a sysadmin interview tomorrow. Anything specific i should know?

The HR lady is pushing out the communications that the work from home policy starts on 2 September. Her last day at the company is 30th Augustus

1+9, but my laptop plugged into HDMI monitor..

Customer: I want the test-results. Format doesn't matter.

*sending xml report-files and screenshot of pipeline tooling report*

Customer: the files are hard to read. can you make html?

*creating html output and sending a screenshot of browser*

Customer: Thx for the screenshot. Ill take it.

🤦‍♂️

Commented the code

Soooo.... I'm back after 8 years 😅 Is DevRant still alive? I tried to log in, but I had some problems and I thought "now it's in readonly mode", but finally I'm logged in... and this is my first (1) rant!

I write python that's faster than most people's c++. My c++ smokes everyone. Current project runtime has gone from 90 minutes to 90 seconds. Fuck yeah. I'm really not paid enough...

Work gave me a linux computer and asks to integrate an application that has no Linux support and wonder why it is going slower. The linux computer also has not enough RAM to develop comfortable on a VM

*sigh*

99.9% of the people are dumb! Fortunately I belong to the remaining 1%

I fucking hate picking a linux distro, I always end up regretting my choice nonetheless because my fucking laptop is so old anything is too irritating for it to run and every distro has some mild annoyances that I fixate on them and cannot keep my stupid miserable brain to just let it go

0h, saIesf0rce…
As they say, if it's n0t 0n saIesf0rce, it doesn't exist? SaIesf0rce presents itself as n0 Iess than a majestic d0g 0f Jupiter. But t0 be honest with y0u, it's I0wer even than a skunk, n0t worthy even t0 be called a d0g 0f PIut0!

One of my favorite old jokes:
If you wish to know who rules you, seek those whom you're not allowed to criticize… We should rise up against children with leukemia!
