Imagine a workplace. A workplace that is planning a local event for tomorrow with deals and a free discount code for those who arrive.
Only thing is: everything is chaos, no one is taking responsibility for the event, no one communicates about changes or how the event is going to be.

Now you get a call off duty. You have to check a discount code that wasn't working. You were to set it up for the event. But apparently they decided to open the doors for the event TODAY. You get a call 5 minutes after the first. "Is it done yet?" NO. Because you have to FIX CODE and deploy changes because they don't have any staging environment, no proper testing environment and (best of all) development mostly connected directly to the production database.

This! This is my job.
I am so fucking mad.

I need courses on how to grow my spine even more and demand what should be fucking law at this point.
Or maybe just leave. I'm the only dev.. 😎

I never owned an Apple product. I prefer other stuff.

But kudos to Apple for bringing sexy back with the Liquid Glass.

God fucking damnit I miss the Windows 7 days. We didn't appreciate it enough.

I think I'm in the sweet spot between where normal people can detect full autism and not see a spec of autism at all.
Most people just dismiss me as fucking awkward. They aren't wrong.
I mask myself 95% of the fucking time in general. I'm not a genius at anything. I'm not that fucking smart. But it's funny how soft people have become. How bad they interpret about morbid jokes or facts.
Also the thing that keeps me fucking puzzled is how people can support one fucking football team, politician or anything most of their life.
I mean.. shit.. Do you ACTUALLY agree with everything that much?
I know people who agrees 100% with their partner or anything else:
People being under someone elses thumb or fucking liars.

Felt good to let that out.
Have a wonderful whatever the fuck you have.

It's 3:17 am and I'm still not sleeping. Shoot me.

Slack's ability to edit messages can sometimes be fucking annoying. Especially when the boss changed his message to sound less agressive about some 'potential reason' to why we lose conversions.
I read the fucking notification when it arrived at 9:30PM for fuck sake.

Oh the wonderful feeling of weekends. The feeling that if I do the same shit as yesterday, my body would probably shut me down because of stress.
Worst part is, it's all domestic stuff. Not even work.
Fuck sake.

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'.

Todays rant is thanks to GoDaddy.

Thanks for parking our 9+ year old domain because of payment 'issues' without any warning.

Fuck you, GoDaddy.

Lol. Another day, another (or just the usual) big tech company just takes us from behind.

This time? Oh Google is just spamming me because they "found malware" on a tracking code. There's nothing. Except competition.

They had to email me about every "malware" in EVERY fucking workspace version. In random order, eventually effecting the live version. Thanks. I really needed those 30 emails to know.

So.. Google Analytics is not working..

Again..

How is algorithms still not regulated or monitored?

The shit that sometimes appear on TT or IG is downright fucked up.

I think I'm having a "return to monkey" phase.
What the fuck are we doing?

Free VPN's, free cloud storage, smartphones and stupid telemetry/uSaGE aNaLYtiCs, password managers, social media, content farms, cheap wifi enabled smart home and 'intelligent' cars.

I'm starting to hate it all.

Look at how many people (including myself, sadly) is glued to their fucking datahoarding multimedia shitdevices (known as 'smartphones'). While sitting in a room filled with every fucking small appliance that needs an app, wifi and phones home to who the fuck knows.
Even my fucking dishwasher has an app and wifi enabled so I can start the dishwasher outside the wifi network.

How the fuck did we get here?
