The life of every individual, viewed as a whole and in general, and when only its most significant features are emphasized, is really a tragedy; but gone through in detail it has the character of a comedy.4

Man going from Rust to other languages is making me go insane
Why does no other language have a high quality, standard documentation tool!? I just want to know what classes and functions you have 😭21 -
Life is a boring, repetitive endless task of suffering and slave labour, at least if you're a third worlder like me
What is the fucking point...7 -
Windows onscreen keyboard (ONS) is always in the way, every time you right click to bring up a sub menu (to copy 'n paste) The menu goes straight under the ONS about 90% of the time.
This should have been sorted out decades ago!16 -
I try to pay attention to my moods. So when I have strong feelings I will tell my wife about them. I was talking to her on the phone on the way home.
me: It is the horny time of the month.
her: Oh, okay, thanks.
me: Yeah, it comes and goes...
her: <sigh>
At this point I realized I had made a really dirty dad joke.
me: Oh, that was bad wasn't it?
her: Yeah, it was bad.
me: I have ascended to subconscious dad joke competence.
her: Okay, sure.
me: Was it funny?
her: No.
me: Really?
her: I just like to tell you I think it's not funny.
me: You are trolling me?
her: Yes.
me: Damn it! -
I'm legit tired from making money. if this keeps going next month I'll be able to afford my rent though
by this point I'm casing new hobbies. such confusing times for me. I'd say this isn't bad and instead good. the worst thing of all is a stuck state -- there's never anything worse. growth is pure bliss, the option to leave, exercised, fills one with such freedom and glee. round and round we go. ok I'm dreaming too much
seriously though who would've expected one to hate making money. it's too tough. I kind of love that I hate it now. now if only I could live off it, I'll take being called privileged with pride then. sure beats being poor all my life. over the horizon and it'll be over... I'll just regress to the hobbies I had as a teenager, which is funny cuz that's where I started. fucking hell economics is a waste of time. people like to steal far too much in this day and age -- so what did I do? I went and parasitized the thieves. they have all the goods! and who they gonna call?! they said they loved this game, cuz they were winning. well I got better I guess. people only like the games they're winning. ego thing I guess
for every imperfection, there's a chip water can get into, and it'll expand and crack you. you'll get owned by something small, cuz nobody's perfect. omnomnom mine now -
There really ought to be a special word to describe a non-technical user who keeps finding weird, edge case bugs that we can't reproduce.
Any ideas?11 -
Sometimes it's better to burn a bridge so you don't even think about crossing it in the future.
See, I left a company some years ago because I didn't see my future in it and all management combined had a collective intelligence of a chicken.
However, I got a call from them a couple of months ago asking me if I could return. The salary was double and the working arrangement seemed fine. On paper. WFH. Flexibile hours...
Since I actually liked the project itself for its technical challenge, I accepted the return offer. What a bad idea that was.
Of course, the things that made me leave for the first time had only gotten worse. Bad leadership, idiot developers in team leader positions. Tech debt higher than Mount Everest. Bad infra that makes you want to off yourself every time you work on it. The whole circus.
Seriously, the "senior" team leader will happily merge code that includes assert(true == true), but hold up a well written MR because he has a personal vendetta with the developer.
Personally, I always check him whenever he starts being an ass. But the poor juniors are in hell. They're terrified.
Now I'm leaving again, but this time I've made sure I can't come back.3 -
Can we please stop with the multiverse crap? Please, just stop.
I watched Deadpool & Wolverine yesterday and what a shitshow.
Logan was an excellent send-off to Wolverine. An excellent one.
It showed that Marvel can actually make good movies.
Why did Marvel have to ruin it?
The issue with multiverse plotlines is that nothing is ever serious, there are no stakes, nothing matters.
Anyone who dies can come back. Anything that happens can be reversed.
Just. Fucking. Stop.
One of my favourite franchises, Mortal Kombat, got ruined with MK1 multiverse story.
Played the game for about 30 minutes then deleted it. What a disappointment.
From now on, if a movie features multiverse or time travel crap, I ain't watching.22 -
Fave languages and frameworks, go!
As of now for me, loving these:
PHP8 and Laravel with Livewire*, Django5.1, MariaDB. PHP must stand for PrettyHeckinPCoolasFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUU
*after using React and Vue for quite a while, I've concluded that the best front end is back end. And I like Postgres, I just find that MySQL is fine for most things.25 -
are these fucking people MAD????
(cant attach images because I SHITTED on devrant so much that my shit has clogged devrants s3 buckets full of bullshit so ill explain the image: full stack position, that asks as requirements frontend development in nextjs, backend engineering in nodejs, and DevOps engineering in cloud using kafka kubernetes and others, named as FULL STACK POSITION)
MOTHERFUCKERS IF I COULD DO ALL OF THOSE PERFECTLY ON MY OWN WHY THE FUCK WOULD I BE LOOKING FOR A JOB???? I CAN JUST BUILD MY OWN BILLION DOLLAR SOFTWARE BRO. FFFCKKK UUU5 -
Devrant iOS app removed from my region's App Store for some reason. Can use the web app but cannot use iOS app. That is kinda unfair. It was there before. :(
What better place to rant about it than at devrant xD9 -

Meta's CEO can really go fuck himself! The way social media works has altered so much of adult brain, let alone teenager's mental health. 😒 Which planet is this fuckface living on?8 -
Devrant guidelines update:
1. Just because you can post something doesn't mean you should.
2. Everyone should be treated fairly and with respect.
3. We should be looking for positives in people and rewarding those.
4. Share your rants in a non-polarizing way to help bring the community together.
5. Don't post anything about the word made from the first letter of the first four guidelines.66 -
It's not enough to be clean, perfomant and maintainable, it needs to be beautiful. if it looks bad it's probably bad.10

Fuck golang, apparently enums are too complicated for the human mind. Someone looked at C and decided to make it shittier, like now I have to deal with C shit, and use a garbage collector on top of it or use fucking C++5

Honestly, nothing kills your brain cells faster than doing the same repetitive tasks at work, day in and day out. It’s like I'm just on autopilot—pushing buttons, running scripts, rinse, repeat. At some point, I start wondering if I’m a dev or just a glorified robot.
And to keep my sanity intact? Competitive programming. Yeah, that’s how I free my mind—throwing myself into algorithmic problems during my break time, just to remind myself that there’s more to life than the mundane loop of tasks at work. I’ll take an NP-hard problem over this any day. At least that makes me think.6 -
think I'm coming to the realization that you gotta have impossible goals
ones you regularly try to work towards, preferably obsessively
because then it trains your spirit
and everything else in life becomes a cakewalk by comparison
which is the true gift of the whole ordeal
maybe that's where all that rhetoric about "working towards something greater than yourself" came from but it got warped by exploitative parties 🤔2 -

Me, reading the GPS for upcoming obstructions: “Man, I really gotta learn the different road signs. Because I’m 99% sure that’s not telling us there’s a man digging his own grave up ahead.”
“That’s roadwork, Amy.”3 -
Visibility rendering using traditional vertex/fragment shaders does 39 million tris in about 3.6 ms
With my newest renderer I can push 314 million triangles in about 6 ms right now
And this is just visibility, factoring in material evaluation of traditional deferred it would be at least like 10x worse. Meanwhile everything expensive about materials is completely independent of geometric complexity in my renderer
Literally me rn: https://youtube.com/watch/...

Freaking github markdown! I just want this directly under each other like i fucking wrote it:
[Client implementation](implementation_client.md)
[Server implementation](implementation_server.md)
But it's places it together on one line. Fine, i put a new line between it.
[Client implementation](implementation_client.md)
[Server implementation](implementation_server.md)
It fucking shows a blank line in between!
AAAARGH
I'm sure the github CTO was seen on Epstein's island4 -
Guess who has to finally swallow his pride and implement traditional deferred rendering with a traditional gbuffer even though he swore to never do that
This guy right here2 -
one week back from my holidays and so far:
- 3 server outages
- 1 developer will be fired
- 2 new employees (company has around 35 employees)
- 2 employees leaving
- outsourced designs, the designer surely didn't read the feature research doc nor followed style sheet
- a small, easy feature has not yet been finished by the rest of the team
- new devOps engineer wants to rewrite our entire tech stack
But at least the CEO was doing it's best and ran away from the problems & ran 150km21 -
Copilot - not convinced. My experience after a few months is that the suggested code disturbs my line of thought, and for complex code I'd rather it just fucked off and stopped "helping".
It will dumb down developers, mark my words.8
