impatience. webdev and python is like sewing with premade fabrics. i consider java, c and the like as knitting. cool. but not for me. i need results. quicker.7

i do the website for this association and had the urge to overhaul everything, implement decent architecture and security, getting rid of awful php/html mixture. considered everything pretty fly and after going live did some minor adjustments primarily in the admin section. like instead of selecting the last 100 logs, all from the last year.
turned out there were 16 logins to the site within the last year. two board member logins (one person). impressive considering all of the functionality for administering the association it was capable of even before the rework.
so we do need a website, everyone wants to be updated, board administration is annoying but fuck my software?
more visitors than all of my other projects though. -
bezelless ist just an fbi-method to avoid sticky tape over the camera for it would affect the screen.
seriously i am just excited and a bit bragging over my new black friday xps13 93002 -
eva viva3. very specific german healthcare erp. bloated but with the false features, insufficient data dumping, expensive, bad service. needs a lot of devops workarounds. unfortunately you don't skip easily with 10+ years of customer data.

while doing web thingies for over 20 years now i have a feeling i did it properly for the first time now. i am proud and embarrassed at the same time.
maybe for the first time php doesn't echo html with inline-js and -css.3 -
kudos for the tech-staff of the digital congress ot-world.connect for explaining how things work to all the non-tech speakers over and over again.

thank you for unexpectedly changing your code i included on your recommendation and now all of my modules are broken!
even if this is just a side project i hate when others break my shit and i don't even have the time to fix it.1 -
two hours later i still wonder why
echo %%~fF >> file.txt
does not list the entire subdirectories as opposed to echo %%~fF
batch is weird.1 -
almost everything work related. especially filtering a csv export file with a python executable to open a word serial letter to open a email for some entries with vba. or writing a js object file with vba from an excel 'database'. my proudness is ambivalent.

i am thinking about a rest-api for mild curses inspired by https://devrant.com/rants/2975770/... by @PrivateGER
i'd add *you accidentally order the plus size model for your phone instead of the small one and can't send it back because you won't get this discount for a recent phone again*1 -
new phone arrives tomorrow. suddenly the old one is snappy again after weeks of lagging and crashing. and lagging.2

i am frightened. i have a feeling the only person i can talk about programming stuff twice a year is getting out of touch.
as if the rarity of the talks is not bad enough, our tech stack edges away every time. he is the most intelligent person, yet i see no huge advantages and my strides just raise a shrug. not out of lack of interest but from pure inexperience. we have a long history of joint projects, but i fear the day only he relieves about his webdev experiences with his php-es5-css-stack, while i can not contribute with my knowledge about python- and vba-automation, oop and es6+. as if he would not be able to wrap his head about all this in a blink of an eye. -
was invited to contribute to a project. after about 60 commits in a row, multiple refactorings and several added modules it feels like having highjacked the project. the owner sits in silence. prolific but awkward.2

to add a bit of fancyness i print the scripts name and 'by' my 'artists name' whenever scripts are executed. today i got a call 'it says error on line 1, what did i do wrong?' i am still laughing tears. did not consider this programmers joke to have an impact irl.1

i adore compiler based programmers. yesterday i changed a bit of python code without being able to run it only to find out later i wasn't even able to spell True and False correctly.8

!dev but if i have been catching covid it is because of these strangers hugging strangers and the group of regulars joining tables (not sql) and way too many masks on arms or below the nose. germans are yet dumber than i thought.5

i am so excited about my first collaboration in 12 years! finally someone considers my capabilities as useful. now i just hope to not mess up the repo.
last time i was pair programming with my best friend, but since i moved all of this fell apart. -
my head complains about lack of trigonometry and too many variables. and it's just about drawing and positioning some circles. no 'real' math.1

the last several times i reached out to support there were at least 5 days of tumbleweed and cricket noises. fine with that while not accessing personal mails during the week. last time i got a response the next day with request for more information and case closed the other day due to lack of response. well played...

when i found out on how to import modules instantly being able to deploy bugfixes and changes to multiple macro-dependent documents without copy-pasting the code to every single file manually.

i understand way too little about web data types. while having to store a shitload of data in cookies (sorry for that, no localstorage for local sites, insensitive though) i was so proud of compressing strings with bitshifting only to find out that uriencoding bloats chinese characters massively up. fml4
-
another week, same fuss. i just freaking can't wrap my head around the fact that it is basically not allowed to use natural language invocating a skill and use natural conversation flows.

latest alexa certification experience
them: you must not name your skill like this, this and that.
me: ok. please certify my skill named a not listed option.
them: YoU mUsT nOt NaMe It ThIs EiThEr.
for real, if i would have to do alexa skills for a living i'd long have gone mad (well, madder)

til recurring reminders have a lower interval limit of 4 hours. this 500 server error wasn't very specific about that.1

good guy pexel allows me to insert free random kitten pictures as an easter egg, retrieving all by a tidy api. made my day.
no affiliation, only gratitude. -
don't know whether i am too dumb to understand apl syntax or the documentation is just shitty. where should the damn data payload go?2

my wife is setting up her new phone that arrived today. maybe i am a bit jealous. on the other hand i dont know how using devrant, reddit and duckduckgo justifies a new phone. better save this for my dream computer.9

!dev
can someone recommend a free 3d modelling software to create printable stl-files for mechanical technical devices? i am not experienced with cad and freedcad gave me a hard time to start with.
educational or commercial use both can apply.3 -
encouraged by you beautiful folks i present my weekend doodle: a text2asciiart converter with cli commands and optional terminal responsiveness.

i am tired of the mood swings that come with being alone. whenever i make something i am proud of i realize having no one to share it with.
unfortunately i am not the hermit i would like to be.12
