i moved to vim when i had to use Notepad on Windows 11.

crossfit and quit smoking weed.

@jestdotty yeah I randomly get a solution to a problem I'm struggling with staring into the fridge for a few seconds.

I have a herbal medical practitioner. Shit works better than any commercial drug. I have never had a flu shot, I don't get the flu. Poor sods at work go for their flu shots, they get flu.

@retoor I fucking love C++. I am a masochist

@D-4got10-01 yeah that's why one should be emotionally detached from your work lmao.

Also, "please do help us identify areas for improvement".

Me: "this and this can be better like this and that."

Company: ignores, tickets disappear in to the black hole that is the backlog.

Cyrillic alphabet is sexy though.

I hate Angular.

Apparently suicide rates among software developers are quite high. I understand why...

And we'd have this absolute banger as our anthem https://youtube.com/watch/...

Wow the last time I tried to write code while under the influence of beer and/or weed I couldn't think properly. Nice.

@antigermgerm Nice. I found a directory where they've got the most bizarre images in it, not used in the app and there are also some Excel file templates stored in there, so I left a comment asking why there are Excel files in the img directory. Doesn't make sense.

@BordedDev Yeah I mostly add my own components to keep the already messy ones from becoming even more monstrous lmao.

I just don't understand how people can work so messy.

some rules are asinine and shouldn't be followed. They're there because most people have double digit IQs

I registered a company in 2020 and not a cent has been made. Yet. haha.

@sidthepajfuk Meat is the best. I'll never stop eating meat.

@sidthepajfuk low IQ individuals don't use creatine monohydrate.

I'll die on my hill shouting MICROSHIT

creatine monohydrate is your recovery friend

@CaptainRant won't you enjoy a more leadership type of role?

@PaperTrail @PaperTrail Hah! It is what it is, I am just ranting. I use console logs on a daily basis, but remove them once I am done before committing.

You mean Microshit

At that moment I decided to disassociate completely. Worked.

@CaptainRant I feel like this too, you're not alone.

Recently I've started tinkering with C++ again, after 2 years of not touching it from my last degree. I have this Data Structures and Algorithms book, and it's actually kinda fun not having some kind of a deadline and a client to satisfy.

We work remotely, but I worked in an office before where they had a TV right above my head playing music all day long and I had trouble focusing. It wasn't bad music, but it's still bothersome.

@CaptainRant I agree. I'd rather work WITH the team to get a shared idea of how they work and set those as the "guidelines". I'd hate to disrupt people's way of work for arbitrary rules, I hate those.

@jestdotty There's a misconception about INTJs. I have always consistently scored one, even the tests that are paid for, done by professional psychometrists, and even though I prefer having a bunch of plans for any particular scenario, and if none of them work out, it is what it is. Not gonna cry about it.

It's silly to plan things so meticulously that there's no room for change, because things change constantly. You'll set yourself up for failure if you do. I planned on a bunch of stuff 10 years ago and only some of them came to fruition. It doesn't bother me anymore, I've gathered enough experience to stop being autistic about "there are only these paths and deviating from them will end in a total dumpster fire." I am not computer.

Such rigidity in mindset and future-thinking is dangerous. We're not oracles, we cannot intuit the future with such precision. And that's why I think there's such a misconception about INTJs. It helps to develop your extraverted sensing.

@TrayKnots Yep. I've had to work with so many wild west style repos, most of them JavaScript/TypeScript and it's cognitively taxing.

I think code standards are necessary, but not to an extent that it starts detracting from creativity and start looking like nit-picking.

Not necessarily for only legacy code, but trying to add a feature or fix a bug where there's a bunch of different developers' coding styles and zero standardisation, it makes things a lot harder to understand and will most possibly lead to burnout and the company will bleed good devs.

Claude and ChatGPT when I have to work with Angular. Boilerplate for doing basic things is exasperating.

Yeah when I was made to implement a complicated feature in Angular.
