If your manager is an asshole in unrecorded 1-on-1's, buy a dictaphone.

Had 1 beer in a pub. Had difficulty walking back to hotel.

You can tell I'm not a big drinker.
2 more weeks to pass here, in Dublin. And not get run over while crossing a street [u know, opposite traffic].

Somehow...

All for the sake of that promising project.

Speed, quality, scope. Why managers dont understand that they can pick only two and expect all three?

I’m on life support. Here is my life. Support it.

Emacs. I love emacs. Because emacs.

Apparently I'm now a suspect in a criminal case. I would have commited identity theft between 2007 and 2025.

Except no, I didn't lmao I'd be richer.

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

Fuck modern Microsoft.

You only need Docker if you can’t use chroot.

Fuck typing 😖

I switched to ubuntu!

What do you do if you are untrained in thinking logically and you currently are naturally bad at thinking logically?

Lacking this skill brings many problems: bad at understanding logical models, data structures, databases, collections of data, solving bugs, etc. Pretty much all the real work in Software Development. I heard the solution is mathematics, e.g. approximation theory, graph theory, set theory, etc, that would help you get a better vision and grasp on these things.

Has anyone been in this situation? Everyone around you knows by nature how to 'see' solutions to problems in their head, but you on the other hand, don't.

It did the first character wrong to call a different bot and see my prompting skills to fix the issue. It takes a lot of experience to prompt like that. Blood sweat and tears people. /s

It works 14/15 times correctly and then fucks you over out of nowhere, no idea where the < even can come from.

what if you never die

what if you're constantly, with every conscious decision, on a choose your own adventure ride

what would you choose 👀

Do you use windows, Linux, or macOS?

Devrant servers are still running? Oh man it's been a while

Left and right unite! I've spoken with a boomer today about politics and got triggered more about politics than ever before. I thought that I didn't care anymore. We have to do something about the boomer! That privileged by TWO parents raised wealthy boomer said that everything is alright. Dude, my generation is raised bad because two parents worked and the zoomer literally has no houses left to rent OR buy anymore and there are no plans building new ones at all. It's the biggest fuck you ever. If I were a zoomer I would've been blind from anger. Maybe that's why people die, their attitude makes us extinct at a certain point. He said that they don't deserve a house with their 24h working attitude. That's debatable but I think the zoomer is right, we work too much. When I had a family for a while I realized that. It's only alright to work full time if you're single and maybe in a relationship, but two parents nearly full time is too much. Not sure if the zoomer understand they but only wants to game even more but that's not the point. The work less attitude is a good thing, even I as workaholic agrees to that. I'm only workaholic because I don't have a life. I just realized that if you have a life, the amount we work is crazy. I really couldn't give the attention I wanted to the kiddo and partner.

So again, left and right, we're being distracted! Unite and GET THEM!

If the zoomer still believed in voting, they would've been extinct by now.

We had sketches ik the Netherlands "Political party against the citizen. Vote for us and fuck you!". I swear to God, boomers would vote that if it existed under the idea of "Lives so good, it can be less, it's ok". He said before or after mentioning his two cars, moped, drone and bought house with quite a tummy. Caring about the climate but not about the children of tomorrow. The climate doesn't matter much anymore if people don't take kids anymore because it's too expensive, no place to live and not enough time to raise them. Also, kidding, they don't care about climate either. Totally blinded by the 70 years of perfect life.

I don't complain about life, but saying we're doing fine as a boomer, stfu! The milennials do also not have that much to complain, but the sooner, hell yes they have. Holy f. Why would you work at all if you can't get a place to live. Maybe this is the way we extinct. Egoism.

My god. He was my example 😕 The former computer expert of the family before I got born and dominated him to the bone 😕 It was brutal 😕 He had no chance 😕 KARMA BITCH 😁

Drinking gluhwein 9:00 in the morning on a Wednesday. It's snows outside and I have special snow in my stash. This will be a fun day. Isn't life beautiful?

Edit: oh f, it's Tuesday. As you can see, very relaxed.

It's 2025.
We still have MSSQL with compatibility level set to 100 (matches the version from 2008).
We still have random downtime or issues with timeouts thanks to parameter sniffing.

Update? No that's expensive and doesn't provide more cashflow (ecommerce-ish).
'I just have to make better code'.

Oh Jase, you're gonna do that regular account deletion stuff all over again? You know that you can just delete a rant right? I'm reasoning like a LLM and then I comment in bad English because my temperature is set too high. I hope that the kangaroo comment didn't piss you off. I just assume that every Australian has one to use instead of public transport. Camels with autism. Sad, all that effort for nothing.

i dream of having a working dev and test environment

or being good enough to have my own stuff working

i don't go out of my way to fuck around with any of it, i just want to do my work, clock in, clock out

How you spend your days is how you spend your life.

Trust your guts!

Just remember that your gut is designed to take the most tastey things and turn it into shit.

I hate free cloud services needing a login. Just let me fucking access the damn app. What difference does it make, it's literally free anyways?? I just want to make a god damn spreadsheet and now I need to login to like 3 different microsoft accounts

WHYYYYYYY

Could the all of the Tencent cloud kindly please fuck off back to China?

Those assholes don't even publish their IP ranges so one could easily block their ass.

Had to rely on external tools and hunt down all of their different ASNs to finally block them from overloading a client's webapp...

Ugh, I need a beer.

Procastinator's tricks to be productive: Schedule messages

I hate to write people. They could answer. My whole plan might be thrown off. But when is the best time to answer them? The day after tomorrow? Too late. Tomorrow. Around 10? Thank you to all messengers that allow me to schedule a message. Instead of procrastinating, I answer, I schedule, and if I am in a bad mood, I later come back and abort and rewrite the message nicer.

Went perfectly swimmingly with my happy new year messages. Everyone got them at 00:00. Yes my friend, you're obviously the most important thing in my life, first thing I did was writing you!

mama kiki just went to two sentence horror subreddit and casually smashed those amateurs three times in a row with her writing chops

Just saw new designs for this new screen. Everything is totally different then everything we’ve build so far. Seriously dude. WHY?! Why can’t you keep at least the buttons the same as before?
