So I was looking at gdscript and wondered if I could use emojis in code. The answer is yes, I think. But then I thought aren't Chinese characters a form of ancient emojis? Apparently a lot of places I found on google seem to think yes. That Chinese characters were first created as pictographs and later were turned into modern writing. So if a compiler/language supports Chinese characters it is supporting some ancient emojis.

It is wild that history is kind of looping around and repeating with the creation of emojis.

Started New job. Can't trust coworkers yet to rant with them. LinkedIn is too public. Too old for FB, X and Insta.

Came to devRant. They think I'm a spam bot 😒

How are we doing today? deadRanters?

WTF people! You are not providing the entertainment my trolling is intended to provide.

You, yeah you! Seriously, get bent out of shape when people post inflammatory shit...

Why do I even bother?

...sigh...

Our Big Brother stomped on our little sand castle and we are devastated!

We built a castle of sand—quick, accessible, a proof of concept.
It was for those still trapped in the old stone caves, a vision of better housing, faster.
​But our brother was the architect of stone. He held the monopoly on caves, and planned the slow future of stone castles.
He saw the attention our small, rapid success was stealing.The foot came down.

Our near-perfect sand castle was wrecked.
We are devastated. What do we do? What would you do?
​P.S.: We are software developers. We don't play with sand. Neither does my brother.
P.S.: Not my real brother.

Vanity of vanities. All is vanity.

What is your favourite conspiracy theory?

End of sprint today! Yippee!

Carmageddon is coming back, nice. Title is 'Carmageddon Rogue Shift' && looks like it has borrowed a bit of gameplay from 'Burnout' series... or so it would seem judging by the video:
https://trueachievements.com/news/... .
Here's hoping it'll be much better than 'Carmageddon Max Damage'.

Started off on a ringbuffer-based ABI stable asyncread / asyncwrite pair because the only existing solution seems abandoned with open issues and not much activity.

Over the weekend I'll extract it into a crate and write a heap of tests. Async code is a bitch to test, but it's probably the least worst in Rust where the testing scaffold can manually step all of the async codepaths.

I just had the most retarded interview question ever.

"How many method does this specific API object have?

A. 4
B. 5
C. 8
D. 2
"

ffs

hello world

I went to the lavatory this afternoon, and it was a broadly satisfactory experience. The flush mechanism appears to be in good order, and the disinfectant is subtly fragrant without being overpowering.

I'm shitting a big ass watery diarrhea. its pouring and farting like a godzilla brown volcano eruption!

Zig needs to get its shit together frankly.

I know the guy wants to perfect his little design, but has he never considered the fact that the shifting sands of perfection will never align for him?

Instead of working on making progress with the design he already established, he just keeps going back and changing fundamental parts as he sees fit and never making any forwards prog-

oh my god he's me.

trying to fix a bug without idiot proof steps to reproduce so i can reproduce it

My Frontend guys, I just wanna say that I love heyapi.dev

Therapists are too bloody expensive. I can get just as good insight on my psyche by using the goddamm Instagrams and letting the algorithm pick up on my personality.
Fuck, I'm drunk. Nine hours of meetings will get a bloke to see the bottom of a bottle or six.

Hi! I'm celebrating my 1000th up-vote! Such fame. Oke, the points are earned by my younger sister, but I will do my best to be as trending as she was!

Love this peaceful community where almost everyone respects each other.

I really think that devRant has a future.

Lost all the lead engineers in my org. Now I'm the most senior.

God help us all.

I'm at a point in my career where I've started to think -

"Have I made it?"

I mean, I make a very good amount of money by freelancing, I have an online presence with my YouTube and I have a wife.

Isn't this all I ever wanted in life? If I push for more at this point, what am I pushing further for?

This question is equally relaxing and terrifying at the same time. It keeps me enlightened and in a state of limbo, at the same time.

I waited so long to brag about this fact: I finish whatever project I start. No matter how bored I get, I never abandon it midway or get sidetracked into some shiny new gig. I was gloating and jubilating this evening cos I can beat my hands against my chest after months and months at a stretch. Held a little party on my WhatsApp status haha

I was an intern when I joined here 10 years ago... now looking to start-up (related to gaming) - wondering if you guys would love to provide some feedback!
Currently, we're less than a month away from launching closed beta - the survey responses showed 78% positive response.

Would appreciate a look here

Fun fact: UAE imports sand from Australia.

Had my first interview with a company now they want to schedule an in person (during work hours I assume) at their head office which is ~3 hours away with public transport... Also want me to do a Codility test, anyone done them before?

well developer life is shit in a political environment

>> Task 1 is given to sr. dev
>> Task 2 is given to jr dev

>> Sr dev gives estimate for task as 2 days. no questions asked
>> Jr dev gives estimate for task as 5 days, whole team starts negotiating (the st dev being the loudest voice"
>> jr dev ends up with a timeline of 4 days.
(btw task is heavy enough for 5 proper days)

both start work
>> jr dev does the task in 3 days, tries to clear out edges, run test cases, clear doubts (thats also a shitty side rant) and submit a perfect task by day 4
>> sr dev starts fast on day1, takes leave on day 2, works on some urgent bug fix on day 3 and delivers task somehow on day 4

>> both gets new tasks on day 5 . this time sr dev still has prod fixes while jr dev is again doing a large task in bad estimates

>> bugs come on day 6. jr dev task bugs 2. sr dev task bugs 25
>> all bugs get aligned to jr dev because sr dev is working on high priority task

wtf? why am i supposed to fix other people's shit? btw this guy is module lead (next position for SSE) now and i am still the junior dev, and we 2 joined the org on the same day :/

he can't follow proper code architecture, writes shit code and he is getting the wins. I am cleaning everyone's mess and i am getting the stick

this is shit life

day #13 of being married to ClaudeCode, we are officially on an OpenMarriage, I loved using OpenCode with Kimi K2, and Warp is actually Good

Lately I’ve noticed that when I peek corners, all sounds go muffled for about a second. It’s like I’m underwater or something. I play with decent headphones and have no issues in other games. Is this an actual mechanic now or a bug on my end? Has Riot ever introduced audio tweaks that affect peeking?
