I'm digging around in Microsoft's CI/CD for VSCode and hilarity ensued

When you realise it has been hiding under your laptop the entire time

How does a penguin build it’s house? Igloos it together.

I've taken my Dev rant over to Linked in. Fuck you recruiters!

-Laughed at Gitlab the other day
-Accidentally dropped my db today.

fuck karma

A young guy I work with burst into tears today, I had no idea what happened so I tried to comfort him and ask what was up.

It appears his main client had gone nuts with him because they wanted him to make an internet toolbar (think Ask.com) and he politely informed them toolbars doesn't really exist anymore and it wouldn't work on things like modern browsers or mobile devices.

Being given a polite but honest opinion was obviously something the client wasn't used to and knowing the guy was a young and fairly inexperienced, they started throwing very personal insults and asking him exactly what he knows about things (a lot more than them).

So being the big, bold, handsome senior developer I am, I immediately phoned the client back and told them to either come speak to me face-to-face and apologise to him in person or we'd terminate there contract with immediate effect. They're coming down tomorrow...

So part my rant, part a rant on behalf of a young developer who did nothing wrong and was treated like shit, I think we've all been there.

We'll see how this goes! Who the hell wants a toolbar anyway?!

2023 After a big working day ! I just want to relax with an easy movie to watch
The movie
- Political
- overpower woman that spite on man
- the message
- remake, spin off
- predictable as fuck story line
- actors that have no fucking emotions
- plots twist predictable
- predictable boring scary jump
- watch it on netflix, disney+, Amazon prime, HBO, Crave, Helix, Tou.tv for only 25$ a month
- CGI are fucking ugly shit
- story incoherence
- movie are always politicly correct
- i see the camera man in the cars window is fucking obvious
- people working in movie are poor as fuck because shit actors want lot's and lot's of money
- lot of movie are make for the branding not the movie itself
- you notifications are more interesting than the movie itself
- you want to go to the theater... 99$ popcorn and M&M bag of 20 pieces
- kids want to listen something else
- woman want help with the dishes at 10 PM
- no more beer or chips

You know what ? I think i will go feed some duck 🦆 at the park next time

Downloaded 130gb of movie subtitles zip files.

If I find some power deep in my heart I would normalize data and launch training on generative transformer to see if it produces decent dialogues.

It will probably stop on planning phase because I’m diving deeper towards depression.

I can’t find flaws in his logic

In reality it is just a tool that is extremely helpful

Hearing that a company plans to digitalize the entire business model and move away from bureaucracy 💪

Hearing that said company plans to run the entire infrastructure on an iMac in the office 😨

Calling all devs with multi monitor setups.

What made you decide to get another monitor? I am asking because I want to buy one, but can't *really* justify it.

For ref, I have an Asus ROG Strix G17 laptop which has thin bezels, 17.3 inch screen.

P.S. I am aware that I'm using 'rant' tag. Please don't hate me lol.

Need to make up some stories about how I was bad person at work and my boss was angry and told me to be better so I become better and we lived happy ever after.

Cause you need to be a better person if you want to work in our happy creepy company.
