I have almost 8 years of experience, am currently a tech lead in the company im at (a big known music and video streaming platform), i live and breathe tech...
and someone i interviewed for (in a 4 year old fintech startup) wants to put me in a mid level position because he "felt i lacked depth". apart from his feelings he failed to make me understand how I'm not senior enough for him.
so how do i become deep? what is this depth he speaks of?3 -
Still alive. Wrist’s been hurting lately so I’ve had to stop crocheting 😭
But I got into paint by numbers!5 -
Imagine having put so much effort in spamming on both devRant and my personal portfolio repository with 20 to 50 items a day and just failing on both. My site does like devRant cleaning up every few seconds instead of getting some better captcha or disable API. I won't make my site less comfortable to work with because such loser. I already thought of a fun prank i can do with him. But for now, i'm too busy for that. Sitting in a wheelchair must piss someone off very hard.6

I think I'm now a tabs person, it's the only character where the width can be easily adjusted for different devs without changing the underlying file's data24

Programmer's Brain at 2 AM:
Bug appears at 2 PM: “I'll fix it later.”

The nation of Vietnam started worshipping me as their god because I made a mod for Winamp that turned it into an IDE.3

WAV is Mr. Bloat. Extract WAV 48 KHz from an mp4 video = 6 GB .wav file output.
More efficient is to just use ffmpeg. lmao. Result: 1:1, 500 MB. Couldn't be more efficient!
ffmpeg -i file.mp4 -vn -acodec mp3 output.mp33 -

Tech is getting lazier. I think it started with showing you countless ads for things you just bought and now it's not bothering to even give good music reccomendations.
We're the problem.3 -
All British inventions:
- were invented in a garage
- are still being built in a garage

I was asked to work more in the backend. I came in as a frontender/ux’er. Had to do one small thing in mvc and now everyone is like whaaat, he likes that? Let’s make him the new ios developer. Yes!
*One of us! One of us! One of us!*
Meanwhile i’m going like, sure i like a challenge and i have a curious attitude but i had a tremendous amount of help from a coworker here?2 -
Ya know when you're working on a personal project, and you add a feature thinking it's a really good idea, then you don't touch the code for 6 months and it's still a good idea but you've got no idea what's broken and no idea what you need to do next?9

Unless in severe pain, the cat will always enjoy this eternal moment, proud of its existence. Never questioning its needs, desires, likes or dislikes, a cat will never consider evaluating itself. The cat glories in its existence and lives with supreme self esteem. It so values itself that it will never assign a value to itself.
The cat has risen entirely above the need for self esteem through perfect self acceptance beyond the need for self esteem.6 -
The water heater in my new flat is broken so I can't shower as thoroughly as I'd like, and the technician who's supposed to install broadband keeps reporting that I'm not home without checking, so I'm forced to tether from my phone. If he does it again today, I may just visit "One", the provider's offices with an IED.14

Zscaler shits itself if you can reach the VPN server from multiple interfaces with different public IPs. Toy quality crap.

Daily driving alpine linux on my laptop. Excellent distro:
- Probably the most secure linux in the world, with very low attack surface and a lot of money being spent to keep it secure — alpine is the most popular linux for docker containers, and everyone uses docker nowadays
- no systemd (but openrc, way lighter)
- no apt (but apk, the fastest deps manager for linux bar none)
- no glibc (but musl, way lighter)
- no sudo (but doas, lighter)
- wayland and gnome work out of the box
- flatpak for heavy ubuntu-centric apps like some browsers. Librewolf, Firefox and Chromium don't require flatpak, they're in the main index
- I couldn't figure out secure boot in ubuntu. I read all the manuals, to no avail. GPT-4.5 couldn't figure it out either. It was a deal-breaker for me — I need secure boot. In alpine, I spent one morning (today) and got up and running relatively easily. It just works
- everything is stupid fast
- usually, in minimal distros, you expect the desktop part to work, but dev & serious parts to be a PITA. In alpine, both work flawlessly bc it's a server-oriented distro
Alpine ftw!22 -
do devs still check their up time..? I just consider being up for hours through the night a normal thing5
