I just used chatgpt and placed bullshit jargon to aid my budget and OPEx for this year, and it worked.

Each year, we formulate some sort of paragraph/essay on how we plan to help the company achieve its goal. I dragged my feet doing this exercise.

Great, more reasons to be lazy.

Just letting you know that if I get accepted, you will all be getting free chocolates from me.

It's bound to happen:

What to do with this bug?

I was in Singapore last week for a conference. The speaker, who I met a long time ago and was our contact at Meta/Facebook, was promoting FB/Instagram reels and even gave pointers on best practices when posting reels.

She was one of the 11,000 employees that Meta let go one week later. Ouch.

I've been asked to be a judge at a local Battle of the Bands. I have no musical experience other than the luxury of listening to different types of music.

I have no idea what I'm gonna do.

Needed a break… fucking AWS

FUCK _YOU_ AWS

I must be getting old. ifconfig and netstat has been deprecated. And I just found out recently.

Tomorrow is "National Programmers Day". What's a good easter egg related to that day?

Did anyone get an invitation from Google to solve a programming challenge?

Me: *quietly looking at mechanical keyboards*
She: Why do you want another keyboard? $80 for a keyboard? What's wrong with your existing keyboard?
Me: *glances over a wall of bags she owns*
She: ...
Me: *clicks add to cart*

I have always respected companies like Mozilla. Especially during the years when it was Netscape. Battling MS and Internet Explorer. This is just one side. But still...

I always dreamed of doing data analysis while playing my favorite game.

They made an offer that's hard to refuse

I was young and stupid. Remember floppy disks? Yeah, we still had them when I was studying. Went to a computer cafe, rented a PC and DOS was already booted up (I'm an old fucker). I didn't want to reboot because PC rental was metered. I inserted my floppy disk and got infected by a virus that deleted my work. No git back then and my backup was on the same disk (fuck me). Back home, rewrote the whole thing from memory.

I got mad and wanted revenge. De-constructed a floppy disk, replaced the magnetic media with sandpaper and went to each and every PC on that computer cafe.

It was closed for day.

My current state right now, both mentally and professionally.

! rant, but should I be concerned?

I'm writing an election results API and I imported the bottlepy+pandas and prepped the CSV that contains the data. The first row contains the column names, followed by the actual data.

As I typed my routes, VSCode kept suggesting route names, parameters, and return values. At first I was "nice!" but then it kept suggesting my intent, as if someone was reading my brain. I do have GitHub Co-pilot installed, but I didn't realize my access had been approved.

How many layers of tin foil do I need?

Our consultant is an ass and he's a friend of the President of the company. Guess I'm screwed.

Sometimes, I feel like these recruiters are just typing keywords, and spam people who fit.

I did one NodeJS project and I keep getting invited for an interview even though I have less than 3 months' worth of knowledge while the job description states 5 or more years of experience.

Any experienced VueJS developer looking for work? 100% remote, employer is German (German language is not required). Send me an email, fruitf.cker at gmail with the subject "devRant sent me here for a VuewJS job" and I'll forward it.

I've just been asked if I can help find a PHP developer. For backend.

I guess some people do really like pain.

Hey guys, remember Experts Exchange?

Me neither

Thanks for the “upgrade”, Apple. I don’t have to worry about running out of space.

Does anybody here use Keybase.io? I'm looking for a more secure messaging platform for a startup I'm helping build.

I never thought I'd enjoy watching someone code Python. In French.

Please post a picture of what’s in front of you right now. I’d like a glimpse of what everyone’s life is like. Context is optional so that I (and maybe others) can observe the picture a bit more.

Just reviewed my custom security questions that I haven't looked at in years.

Accepted a freelance job. Fairly simple, just need Apache to redirect domainA.tld to domainB.tld but the address bar on the browser would still read domainA.tld. Based on the job posting, nothing else is needed after that.

At first, he didn't want to hire me because of my race. The previous person, the same race as me, fucked up his CPANEL (so he says). But I assured him that I can help.

I completed the job but then he said he also wanted domainB.tld to redirect to domainA.tld. I don't think he understood the concept of a redirect. On top of that, he wanted it to be a *permanent* (301) redirect.

I wish I had the power to punch someone on the Internet.
