so weird not to have my code crash...

before I'd check it every few hours and reboot if it has crashed

but now I check and it's just churning along

the bug was easy to fix once my brain cleared some

Today, I was successful in shouting AGENT into an automated call menu today to get to an actual agent.

if I figured it out before how could I delete it?!

what if I don't figure it out again?!

I fucking hate December.

who's on top, who's on second

why structs/objects when can tuples everything

New baby girl 🥰

Worryingly, at 4:04pm.

Man, I really want to write a book called "The little book of errors" about correct error management strategies and patterns

Not that I know what they are.... but I'd really like to write a book about them

today i was asked to encrypt a public key, because "it's sensitive info".

a PUBLIC key.

smh

it's not even hard (literally 1 line of code), but come on...

I'm not a 10x developer. It's you who are 0.1x developers

Got my dad to try Fruity Loops so that he can compose with his Tyros 3 keyboard on the computer. If he likes it, I will buy producer edition (that one can also record, that's why) for his bday soon. For Christmas I already ordered midi to USB cable for him. Finally I know what to give to someone who already has everything. He needs stuff for his stuff :p

It will be much fun experimenting together with it. My dad can go very hard on new things, he always becomes a pro in it.

I hope it will be just as nice as the time we spent together on Autocad. He later even made Autocad exams for schools.

He learned me how to install windows 3.11 as very little kiddo.

I like my dad doing computer stuff. It's the moment we really bond.

if a normal brain ran on bits, an ADHD brain runs o qubits but with NO cooling system

but programming

and first slot is office

More fiction was written in Excel than Word.

Turns out we have a Grinch. Someone just stole all my decorations in the communal staircase.

This really fucked my mood

think I'm starting to get why the c/c++ people are all crazy

I wanted to upgrade something so I wrote it then had to plug in the new version in 7 different crates. cool well after dozens of different file changes I found like 3 bugs and figured hey ok maybe some small edge case bug fixes and now I'm just frustrated because nothing is working and also did I mention I have like 3 deprecated crates but I haven't had a moment to rest to deprecate them fully and remove them and it's all massively annoying me

I keep just rewriting things because it's easier than changing the static typing system everywhere, but no matter what I do I just end up in more changing of the static typing system, repeat

I think I might just end at a non working codebase and lock myself up for 3 days and take some drugs and see what happens until either I pass out from lack of sleep and wake up not caring, someone finds me and takes me away, or I finally have a working product

things can't be done in chunks I guess

cuz if it works in isolation then you stress test it and it works then you plug it into the live system and heyyo look it doesn't because you didn't stress test these edge cases enough and now everything is broken and who wants to revert like 2 hours of stupid secretary work because StATiC TyPe SysTeM. so what my stress tests need to be the live system? and speaking of tests I keep have to go back to older tests and keep updating them every time the damned static type system updates so I don't want more tests

the irony in all this is suddenly for once in my life I had this funny thought of "whoa, remember when people said coding wasn't for them?". I mean if I keep shooting myself in the foot does end up feeling like a me problem. I still think like a damned computer though. literally the thing i've always been best at so I'm just laughing at the ridiculousness

(maybe it's the brain damage, let's be fair to myself)

wanted to watch a horror movie with the bf for a few days and the guy is a narcoleptic. told him I wanted to today but now look at me, I wanna lock myself in a room until I solve my disaster so how am I supposed to enjoy a movie, and do I just ditch what I'm doing and hope I give a shit later or do I blow him off? fuuuuck why

To automatically register your software to open on login should be classed as a capital crime, with the punishment being public execution by the spoon murderer

Today is 6/12/24 and the doubling tickles my brain.

Sometimes i forget how powerful regex are

On a scale of 1 to 10, how much work do you get done in the month of December?

I feel like I'm part of a Turing Test

TF is going on

Our application calls Fucking Microsoft Excel over COM to figure out what letters denote year, month, and day in the current locale.

Hint: date format strings are highly standardized so it's always y, m and d

I swear this spam rants are driving me nuts lately.

I'm Elfo, and retoor is typosaurus.

Dear great ux lords at ms azure devops, could you make the whole freaking button clickable instead of just the text inside of the button?

Where did my kitty @retoor go?

Serverless.

If your company runs AI generated SEO for other AI generated advertising for SEO services that promote your AI to other SEO services- you might be snake oil peddling and if anyone looks twice at your company it will blow over like a solo cup on the back porch.
