I have noticed that most of the mentally ill posts on here are from Javascript devs.

Questions in job applications have become a fucking joke.

I'm done with them, from now on to stupid questions I'm only answering in same fashion.

Scared Christians like to say “God doesn't make mistakes” when discussing trans people. Well, you're right: God doesn't make mistakes, so he made me trans to test your ability to love.

Hug your parents while you can :'(

I love beat em ups, ninja gaiden 2 black is stress relief

Deepseek fucking all major US tech/semiconductor companies brings a tear to my eye 😊

no man, I can't rebase, I don't work for you anymore

Doesn't taste like coffee...

This is your yearly dystopian reminder that Wordpress enjoys a 43.5% website market share. I think it was lower last year at around 41%. So it grew I guess.

And they say web dev isn't a real programmer job...

Full disclosure: I think php is fine.

Fucking exercise equipment vendors... I have contact at least 3 vendors to ask technical questions about their products and I NEVER get a reply. Do you not want to sell anything you gigantic ass fucks?!

It looks like these vendors are finally standardizing on a bluetooth communication protocol called FTMS. Apps and desktop software are using this protocol to allow all sorts of devices to just work with their software. So I asked a vendor today that connects to 2 competing software systems. Do you support FTMS protocol? Radio silence. Maybe they are in a different time zone on the other side of the planet. But what is the excuse of the other 2 companies?

BTW, FTMS is really cool. You can turn a tread mill on and off with it. I so want this connected to Skyrim.

Honey, load my shotgun

I made it

I have paid version of GPT now. Kinda accidental, I wanted the API version and that seemed to be smth completely else. Didn't know. I have a lot of opinions / mixed feelings about it so far. Take the imagine generation, this image is kinda perfectly what I wanted. But it took so much iterations and it was forgetting what i've said lines before. Everytime adding text balloons why I said to remove it, then it removes it but generates a complete new image with something else I don't want with it. THan i fix that, and tadaaa, again a text balloon.

This is the question where it is about: is GPT in current state worth the money? I have no idea, I need some more time.

Mkay. Let's talk about Luigi Mangione.

Hero or terrorist?

He was one of us, like it or not.

The only thing more terrifying than CSS is a person who's not terrified of it.

RIP Thomas Eugene Kurtz, the creator of BASIC.

People of Iraq, Syria, Palestine, Libya and Afghanistan should have American voting rights because of how much of US government's decisions affect their lives.

but programming

and first slot is office

Is there any game engine with actually good support for SVG? I want to do some 2D animations but I don't want to do it with goddamn png sprites like some caveman.

End of the year. Management announced that the project that our team has been working in for more than 4 years, will be killed.
Shit.

I don't know if AI makes people dumber. But it lends me to believe that people who swear by it might be dumber.

Time will tell how useful the code generators are.

I should go play with chatgpt today...

Well, shit is kinda hitting the fan literally.

Two of my four clients are closing down, and it all happened in a month.

Not really fearing for job security, but now I've scheduled an interview with nVidia that I dismissed two years ago. Let's see how it goes.

Currently having a stupid fight in my PR comments to remove dead code because I refuse to write a whole book to justify a cleanup commit.

It's still in development. It often says the opposite from what is expected. Try Retoor1b chatbot at https://llm.molodetz.nl

This was result after building bot + chat website from scratch including training with embeddings. Design is generated by GPT, I tried my own but all ugly.

It's quite cool huh? Ask it to write some code for you. It's absolutely terrible. If it's down, try again in 5 minutes. I'm still working on it.

What's the result? I finally have a toolkit to make good/serious bots. Code could be bit better, but that's for other day.

Stack: self written webserver (and yes, you can post a gb to it or ddos it. Not sure if it survives the first one. I should limit requests to one mb anyway. Http headers may officially not be more than 4096 in total) since I know http protocol from my head anyway. Python websockets module. Asyncio, chromadb.

It could have xss issues. Don't care.

Let me know what you think

Well, well, well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions

Open letter to any website that is trying to implement "smooth scrolling" on their website using JavaScript: stop, consider how awful it is 100% of the time, and kill yourself please.

"We need smaller deliverables so that we can validate each iteration with the client! Instead of doing the whole batch, let's try a minimum viable unit of work first!"
And then the cook made a single unit of French fries. Like, a single stick. It took about 10 minutes, or about 95% of the time it would take to fry a whole portion.

If you ever feel useless and irrelevant, just remember that people like @JestDotty exist.

A good boss gives you a few clear instructions and then doesn't meddle in your work.
A great boss does that, and also spends most of their time protecting the team from corporate fuckery.

99% of all bosses, though? You can't make heads or tails of their blabber, and the only way they can handle problems is throwing their team under the bus.
