Woke up, took a shower, realized it was 2 AM in the morning...

Luckily my hair wasn't wet yet, how can I be so sleepy that I don't even look at the time

Volunteered at a hospital and made some kind of intranet for other volunteers because they wanted to use a facebook group for internal communication which I found stupid.

Made a reactjs/slimphp app and learned a variety of things while coding, unfortunately it had to support internet explorer which sucks balls.

Quit after a year because of school and a paid job, someone else is maintaining it now :)

Did you guys' stubborness get you anywhere? Did it ever help you along the way? Did you ever discover new things because you wanted to do things your own way?

Let's discuss 🍵☕

Want me to NOT read your fucking article?

'Cause that's how you get me to NOT read your fucking article

(referring to the website creators, not the writer)

I've been inspired by cpg grey (I think that's the name), mainly his 10 tips on how to be miserable, to write a blog or some kind of post explaining the 8 things you need to do if you hate your coworkers and want your codebase to go to shit.

So it'll be like a anti-SOLID, anti-pattern type of blog promoting every code smell imaginable

I feel like 8 tips to fuck up your codebase (php perhaps) might he more memorable than actual helpful advise. I'm sure that this has been done before, but I was wondering:

Do you think this would be effective? Would it help people understand why not to do the 8 tips? Does this reverse psychology work?

It's almost like everytime I open the BitBucket pipeline logs my pc starts running the pipeline instead of BitBucket

Even visiting the logs spins up my fan so quickly that it's noticable for the people around me.

Instead of launching a pipeline it launches my pc

if (questionAsked) {
retuen "It depends...";
}

I hate it I hate it I hate it

But it's true because there are a fuckton of factors that determine the answer to a question and nobody ever knows all of them.

I can rarely answer a question from classmates or non-techs without saying that it depends or that there are multiple options.

"Are statics ever good?" It depends
"Should I inject this dependency?" It depends
"Should I google every question first?" It depends

I fear giving a whole answer without knowing the details or at least seeing the code. I've come across multiple XY problems and I'm glad I took the time to look at some code first.

I imported my phpstorm settings into rider and it started syncing both the IDE's settings to my github settings repository, but it did successfully import all my plugins and theme settings

I know the mix of rider and phpstorm settings might cause issues, but I'm curious as hell as to what chaos it might bring :)

Our intern is about to join the master race 🕺🕺🕺

"We care about your privacy [...]"

That's why we make it ultra inconvenient to turn off all of our advertising trackers and give you a broken list of on/off sliders that are slow as fuck. Also, why not just press the 'accept all' at the top of the page? See that big green button? Yeah green is good let's just press it and get this over with right?

Oh and that 'deny all' button? Yeah, a shame nobody actually put some programming into that thing, why not just press the green button next to it? You're only making it harder for yourself y'know...

Guys...

It has come this far...

I... I like test driven development and the amount of unit tests and security it gives you. And I kinda laugh at people that don't take unit testing seriously :p

Is it justified to be angry at websites that break because of extensions like Ghostery or uBlock Origin?

'Cause I fucking hate it when their fucking website breaks because I don't want to have trackers on my pc

How awesome would it be to be able to migrate to a cattle-approach from a pets-approach when it comes to the human body, just kill your old body and start using a new one

Sickness? Create a new instance of your base image. Death? Just spin up a new instance and you're ready to move on. Broken arm? Kill body and get a new one.

Ofcourse, since we're stateful this method is kinda harder, unless you consider your conciousness an external database/soul

What to do if someone asks for your help with problem X, but then you figure out they originally tried to fix problem A and recursively came up with bad solutions until they got at X at which point the entire codebase overlaps responsibilities, implementations leak, concrete instances are created in controllers ignoring DI and you just can't say ANYTHING nice about it?

Also does not follow a methodology and just does whatever, thinks singletonning a database context is a good option because stuff isn't saved, says they will 'refactor later' even though it should have been done last week and just doesn't seem to get it?

I've told them that what they're doing is plain wrong and they're making it harder for themselves than it needs to be, but they just seem to not get it, even though at this point basic stuff like that shouldn't be an issue.

Posted this in rant since it became kind of a rant instead of a question

Lemme be frank for a moment

Just because the compiler tells you that you need to do a certain thing, DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD SEE THAT AS THE ONLY FUCKING SOLUTION

DON'T START FUCKING UP THE SINGLE-RESPONSIBILITY PATTERN JUST BECAUSE THE COMPILER SAYS YOU SHOULD, HOW DENSE MUST YOU BE TO THINK THAT'S THE FUCKING SOLUTION?! PERHAPS YOU SHOULD DIG A LITTLE BIT DEEPER? I CAN'T EVEN LAUGH ABOUT IT IT'S SO SAD. DEADLINE IS GETTING CLOSER DAMNIT

Oh btw, another instance:

"I'm doing X to achieve Y because I'm more familiar with step 1 of X"

Fine, but that takes more time and can be done in way Z, in that way, you don't loose precious time and can just work on the other steps in the proces that contineously get harder.

* Person proceeds to do X anyway and get stuck, in the end having nothing done *

🙄

I like helping people, I really do

But I'm not going to loosen the knot around your neck if you keep tightening it

I absolutely fucking HATE having to sleep with either a full nose or a throat making odd noises everytime I breathe

There is NOTHING (including eating noises) that agitate me more than having to use my mouth for breathing because my nose is full. I'm already addicted to nose spray because I'm sick and I can't breathe at night, but FUCK waking up at 3 in the morning because I can't breathe properly or have too much snot up my canals.

FUCK IT

I can tolerate mouth breathing normally, just so I can control the amount of nose spray I take while I'm sick, but LEAVE ME A LONE AT NIGHT PLEASE

I NEED SLEEP OKAY

>:(

Our tests started failing, even in older pipelines >:(

Anyone else here into regex crossword? I'm quite obsessed and I'm at rank 32 now 😛

I kinda need glasses for some things, but luckily I can work fine without them for now

I just bought a personal license for a Jetbrains product, in this case Rider.

Jetbrains is one of those companies that I'm so happy with that I'm willing to actually spend money on a product of theirs.

So thanks for existing <3

I was devving in the train and was using my hotspot so I could stackoverflow for a bit

Then I noticed my application had start rebuilding, guess where my MBs went 😅

I've completely switched to drinking water since a few weeks and I feel much better than I used to, that might ofcourse be a placebo effect but it helps either way.

Last time I tried a Fanta at a party almost couldn't finish it because of the amount of sugar. Now I'm only used to having sugar in a cappuchino.

I'd encourage others to try the same 🤩

>:(

It's been 4 minutes since the last update!

Now I'm hungry

Should rants contain a message/lesson/formulated statement, or fo you consider rants a venting mechanism?

Out of curiousity, since I see some people in the comments asking what the message/constructive idea is on some posts

The only type of client I like being, is a hostile one.

That's why I intend to answer every question of the dev team, with a question.

"So would you like this banner to be blue, or green?"

Does green evoke the same emotions as blue?

"Probably not, but we're asking you so we know how to finish the design..."

Does a design have a will of its own?

"Ok... What do you think about the new e-mail feature?"

Does anyone use e-mail nowadays?

"There are plenty of people who use e-mail professionally."

Are you a professional?

"I don't think this collaboration is going to work out"

Are we done?

My god, it's so easy and simple to spin up a server for a few minutes without being stuck with a contract of a year. Also, being able to manage all my domains there is a blessing :D

I have roughly 10 forks on my Github profile, 2 of which are actual intended forks

The other 8 you ask? Created from accidentally clicking the 'edit' button in other people's repos. Why the fuck is there no confirmation button.

Deleting them also takes 2 minutes that I usually don't want to spend

Are there peoppe here who also enjoy playing Tekkit/Technic/FTB? I've long lost my desire to play normal Minecraft but the amount of automation I can build and set up in Tekkit is so amazing that I keep coming back to it

Yesterday my docker build started failing for my .NET core project, but it worked on Windows!

Today I found a Github issue, 4 hours old, what fixes it? Downgrading my kernel, which I upgraded a few days ago to v5

I would never have discovered that on my own, what the hell
