Fuck <input type="time"> and it's automatic local system input presentation, there seems to be no way to force a format(without JS) discarding the local language preferences.

I'm going to split the time input in two <select>. Peace.

PS: AM/PM system, please die.

I wonder when we'll stop the abuse of naming conventions like name & surname, by this I mean not all cultures have a surname but most of us are ignorant about it and those people when they are presented with an obligation to fulfill that field they cannot do it legally, because they'll lie.

A more open approach with only one field for full text identity would solve this issue.

Is it really worth to take under my belt the "cloud" positions(from the .Net POV) or they aren't as engaging as the non-cloud software development?

What's are your thoughts about this positions, if you ever worked for?

Is there how to get upload and download speeds balanced?

Will we be forever stuck as mostly consumers of internet instead of as much as producers?

From the abandoned university my first dev project came from the course of programming 1(C as language).
I had to implement a robot that moves inside any matrix like map following both specified rules and random moves, and had to reach sooner or later the exit place of the room.

At first I was overwhelmed by the task at hand, then I had to calm myself and start hacking around to get any idea on how to even understand what's required to get to that point.

It obsessed me for the whole first 2 weeks, but the progress was quiet steady.

Then I hit a fundamental problem of state and movement of the robot... And, as always, the best thing to do at this point is to simply detach your attention from the issue|project.

In the same day my mind asynchronously bursted a solution to my problem, and after some time I came back to the project and accomplished it with 100% of the requirements met 😁

This is what it looked like in the console(minified here):

3333333
3000003
3000003
3003003
3003003
4003023
3333333

Guess which is which 😉

From the career point of view, I've seen many programmers, more or less, in the long run, specialize in the industry|ies they've been working, so the business practices, ins and outs and logics became part of their strong point in that|those industry|ies.

But I found myself on the opposite side, I could care less about the business's practices, etc. because in the end I'm mostly passionate about reaching some technical satisfying accomplishment or a novel approach to solve some kind of problem or just learn new approaches.

So when I'm handed info mostly focused on business practices|logics I just boringly read through it.

How about you?

Obviously business problems and technical feasibility to solve them overlap. But wouldn't be better to have people capable to express their issues more from technical points of view than talking nonsense to someone who's clueless about the business <.<?

Enjoying barbeque near a river, how about you?

[googling devRanters before wasting time with Google]
Any of you does know of a cooking app/service where you can input the food that you have, the tools that you have and get back the recipes ordered by, for example, time-to-cook, the cooking difficulty and tastiness (the last one defined as how much of flavoured is the final meal)?

Does anyone hear in their company about risk assessment towards American tech companies and their services?

It came to my ear that many European big companies are asking analysis\risk-assessment companies about the reliance on American services and commodities because of how the big American corporations reacted at the Huawei ban.
It's like if America did this to such big Chinese company, they have proven that they cannot be reliable in the long term because of political turmoil.

Kind of interesting this perspective

I will leave in September this job location, but what's weird is that I've already (yesterday, a causality) shacked the hand to the next probable guy that going to continue on my work.

I do have planned the change of location by the same company, btw.

Is it normal to see this happening so early? (More than 4 months)

Fuck sake, had to change the cooling system on my desktop, figured out the new cooling is too big(Noctua) to fit the GPU back, change the HDMI output to the motherboard(my CPU is an APU) and black screen all the time :(

It's fucking normal that as soon as the old GPU is lacking the system is not capable to switch to the embedded one? Fuck me.

Today I deeply understood/learned that if anything complex has to be built, tested and maintained by a single person the most important factor to don't go crazy is the concepts of "separation of concern".

Even though it makes the development slower (*) and quite some times boring it gives back in almost absence of uncertainty and because of repetitive patterns also ease on going back to work on a new/old part/feature.

(*) Because of planning and organisation of the code flows and layers flows, but also compartmentalization of actions (a bad example would be the mix of validation code with CRUD code)

How do you experience the separation of concern? (If you have ever had the chance)

Ps: still earning ~1400€/m, am I worth more? 🤔

Is there a marketplace for selling half backed projects\e-commerce business ideas?

Linux Bash is popular 😂

Horror story and rant time I guess...

I haven't seen the main developer of this MVC project that I've been working on but I can totally assure that his seniority isn't in frontend development 😠 and I doubt the backend too... Fucking DataTables converted to IDictionaries<string,object>

Guess who need to build on top of the pile of shit!

Anyway, I wasn't really careful about what kind of template I was given to work on a new SPA page, so I'm doing the job given the time, but it's fucking gory:
- matrioska style layers (n.3) without documentation
- partials everywhere
- too much inline styling
- too many <style> sections (n per layer or partial)
- too many <script> sections (n per layer or partial)
- poor CSS styling or no styling at all! (classes without any style nor js association)😠

He's just been lucky that the browser is capable of handling his shit

Now that at the end of this year I'll leave this project (solo fullstack) and need to provide documentation for the next poor souls I was thinking to leave behind something at par of my skills and capabilities but analysing the current mess ticks my brain in a bad way, fuck you Marco!
Fuck you
and your seniority
and the Italian way of perceiving seniority that gives you a higher living in the wrong side of the field 🤬🤬🤬

For fuck sake!
Fuck locatefamily.com, just searched out on google my name and surname, both foreign and hard to even spell out for many, and it's the first time that I saw my data(where did I live, my current work phone number, name and surname) open wide as the second link of my search, fuck!

But there's a clue, at that address I lived for a not so long period, so I did search my emails in that period and other than my employers and government emails(in which I don't trust either), here's a list of companies that had my info(partial or full):
Only address(with name and surname):

Amazon.it with 14 other companies(for shipping)
eBay with 4 other companies(for shipping)
voxelfarm.com
trenord.it
DUMA (LIGHT) di Adel
decathlon.com
gruppoargenta.it
paypal.it

All info:
gearbest.com
glistockisti.com
oculus.com
Banggood.com

Overall there are 33(including government, employers and national main mail service) potential leaks of that data, with 7 in full exposure.

After this, I'm thinking how it's even avoidable to not leak personal data, because from any of those businesses I got goods or services that otherwise I couldn't without exposing such informations... fuck.

Is it me or it's the recruiters uprising season? I'm getting contacts every day 🤔

Even if he's emotional, someone on devRant have similar stories/experiences?

"I've made a career fixing a ton of horribly shitty, inefficient code that's been produced exclusively by people who pass these interviews."

Which is gold, imho <.<

Fucking multilanguage mind.
My language capability is literally splitting in half making me more and more retarded/incapable in both languages (my native and English).
The main reason is that my daily reading and listening is mostly in English(and happen online) meanwhile I work and have to interact at the job in native language, which is much less demanding of native language interactions because I code in silence 😣

If only the native language content was as good and as interesting as the English one, but Italy doesn't an alternative to hackernews, FUCK ME

At the v5 of WordPress, is it worth the effort to learn how to develop a theme for it? (Only for blogging purposes)

If you're a SaaS developer, what free serverless tiers have you found being good for implementing quickly business ideas? And on which tech stack they rely on?

1. Universal switch to IPv6 with back compatibility to IPv4.

2. A new universe of easy and convenient personal softwares that are served from your own home (aka, every client is a server).

3. More 3 wishes 😏

XHTML, I had to work on an old project that was developed around it with IE 11 in mind, many bullshit limitations where a hassle, from all the tech, HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Developing with workarounds was the norm. Never gonna develop with it.

So WhatsApp does connect to Facebook in the background from time to time 🤔

It's Christmas! Microsoft open sources it's WPF, Windows Forms and WinUI! O_O

https://blogs.windows.com/buildinga...

Lol, Microsoft finally gave up on Edge, and will go with a spin based on Chromium.

https://m.windowscentral.com/micros...

🤣 I was right when I said that Chrome is going to be the next internet explorer

WebForms wannabe SPA on internet explorer 11, and finished it quiet well <_<

Don't know if proud or horrified

Google would rather harm (indirectly) people for more money
