DevOps Mustaine

I spend my days in front of a screen working on a product that will be used by other people working in front of a screen, themselves working for other people working in front of a screen

end of rant

Russia took the second place in the list of the most corrupt countries, because we paid the bribe not to take the first.

Laying cozy on sofa, watching yt from phone. Decide there's a need for a bigger screen but too cozy to adjust position to watch from TV. Grab trusty old chromebook running Debian from arm's reach instead. Haven't used that thing in a while. Try to connect bt headphones. Notice that the Bluetooth module is not detected according to the UI. Weird, never noticed that. Wonder what that's about. Apparently someone had fixed it in kernel already long ago, I'm on a much newer kernel. Too lazy to pick up wired headphones from across the room. Maybe I'll update the firmware, I haven't done that in a while. Oh, the script doesn't run because it requires newer glibc. Wait, I'm still on Debian 11, maybe it would be worth it to upgrade to 12. Wow, upgrading Debian is a surprisingly manual process. Wonder what I'll be doing tonight. Wait, what was I doing again?

Im a newbie here! thanks

If you ever feel unwanted, just know that someone, somewhere, has wanked about you at some point

They're masochists ofc, but it still counts

I can’t find flaws in his logic

Today I learnt you can ride cows like you can a horse

Straight women are so boring sometimes.

They don't realise how basic guys and life is.

Straight guys don't tend to be that complicated.

Dick is dick. Enjoy your time while you're alive

In the story of adam and eve, when eve bit the apple, all of evil and chaos has entered the world

Fast forward today, the phone we use every day has an apple logo on it, and its even a bitten apple

The way how we hold this phone with two hands, almost like "🙏" prayer symbol, is actually a symbol of prayer, but prayer to the bitten apple, which is the devil

Coincidence or programming?

I drank so much whisky tonight I can't see straight

no proud of it, but at least i don't lie like all the social media fucks

at least i have that

Just sent my devRant profile link to my employer. They loved some of my memes, but generally they didn't care much.

Dreaded this moment for 1.5 years now, and now decided to come clean.

Did I know that an irrational fear about being fired over some memes was indeed irrational? Yes. Do I feel better now? Yes, hell yes!

To be completely honest with you, it was today's @scor interactions that finally empowered me to do it. A dumb fear of getting doxxed was with me way before @scor started attacking me, but now I ended it: my partners (I'm polyamorous) know about devRant, my friends, my ex-colleagues, and now my current employer knows it too. Everyone from my public life knows who I really am and what I really think.

Not as a step in a dumb “beef” that doesn't exist, not as a slide, not as an insult, I'm going to say THANK YOU, @scor, for finally pushing me over that tiny obstacle. One and a half year of annoying obscure itching is finally over.

Moving away from technology and becoming self-sufficient. A cottage with a stream on the edge of a forest, a large garden, some chickens and other animals, and no smart devices, managers, tickets, KPAs, performance reviews, legendary devs shitting out an endless stream of bugs, etc.

Peace and quiet.
And freedom at last.
That’s success.

That’s the ultimate success: escape.

I need a quick break from an annoying Product Manager, so based on your experience:
Offend a software engineer in 5 words, I go first:
Can AI make it faster?
Me: ...exhaling...

Coding faster is more important than code quality? GitHub shows a call to action: "Code 55% faster with GitHub Copilot". WTF?

I fucking hate being a Dev sometimes.

Not these shitty ones with API documentation riddled with holes 🫠😥

99 little bugs in the code, 99 bugs in the code, 1 bug fixed...compile again, 100 little bugs in the code. 🐞

Used to be if I was good enough, now it's if work is going to make me a worse person than I was when I started (passionless and not apathetic)

I've got scammed! A book of 12 cents and 18 pages. Still got ripped off, 13 cents too much! Successfully claimed a refund. * celebrating the refund with a 40 cents sigarette * I feel matured and responsible

It's asked before here but need to be questioned again because I'm bored.

Would you rather have fucked a sheep while no one knows or that you didn't do it but everyone is sure you did?

The sheep is average looking with okayish BMI. Looks bit German

Jase deleted his account again

Anyone else notice themselves simplifying their English text / conversations (typed or verbal) because they've been doing code for so many years?

I barely even English anymore cuz code is more expressive so I think in it's grammar;

There's an exception to every rule - even this one.

> Best part about working from home?

"People don't give me as much shit for having a wank during standups" - not me, but I wish it was

If you suspect that you know me "in real
life" {
please raise your hand &&
don't share the answer with the rest -
of the class (🤫);
} else {
enjoy the suspense 🌻💅🔪;
}

They made ChatGPT dumber.

YouTube made 1080p video look like 480p if that same video was made for YouTube premium viewers (It says 1080p with better bitrate on the settings)

Mercedes locked higher level of acceleration on their cars behind an annual $1,200 paywall and I'm sure most of you already know about the paywall-ed heated seats in BMW cars.

Greed really knows no bounds.

devrant is even shitter drunk.

Dance for me monkey 🐒

Can't fucking stand permanently lazy devs who don't give a shit about their craft.

Fuck off and go do something else that you actually give a shit about! *

😤😤😤😤🤬

* unless you're burnt out - then I'm sorry they overworked you x

Shut up devRant and validate my opinions

ChatGPT and similar thing. Sooner or later people will get enough of the novelty and such systems will remain only as some niche tools, unless something extraordinary happens.
