dev communities can be the most toxic as well as the most welcoming at the same time.

just depends on what your timing is. You can get a bunch of links to help debug your issue or you can get told to "kill yourself".

You never know.

Still not paid. Bitch better have my money

I hate deprecations! Adopted a web project that was actively maintained until 2023, how can it already be so "legacy" that none of its npm scripts work anymore?

What have I done today?

Nothing. Stayed naked all day and smoked weed.

Well I did my budget for the month and send my bills.

Tomorrow I'm paid.

Can't wait to receive my 8 strings guitar omg

So as mentioned by people earlier, devRant certificate is expired. Well, three things to do:
1. use dr.molodetz.nl for using devRant with a certificate.
2. write down snek.molodetz.nl or molodetz.online for when it really goes down, we're building a new community there. It's not ready yet, but is already in use for a long time. Literally everyone welcome. Just like dR, no moderation, freedom.
3. let's hope on not to loose too many friends!

devRant is a great site, but the wholesome, respectful community, is made by made by people.

The junior made some work on the frontend, and... well, it's genuinely good. Nice component, looks good, he used tailwind and the framework properly. It's easy stuff, but he pulled it off nicely and that's how you move from toy projects to complex stuff anyways. This is not a rant, that kid is growing nicely. Let's go.

I was cited in a decent-ish journal article.
Feels like a win.

I've just been asked by a dev to open up publicly a database port after giving him direct ssh access to the server. Your funeral, buddy.

Shit.

Thought I had turned off the stove after making dinner but seems it stayed on.

Thankfully the kitchen automatically turns off after a set time, so only the pan and a couple nearby things were lost.

Still, seems some electric wire in the extractor got wrecked because the kitchen line breaker is down and won't go up.

Waking up to your house full of smoke really sends you into panic mode...

Who tf is stupid enough to bomb nuclear facilities. Jeez these izraelians and yanks really are retarded

They could explode and kill us all you goddamn idiot.

Dear Windows,

How hard is it to actually update and shut down? No, don't restart. If I wanted you to restart I would have chosen that option.

The last decade

Long enough pretended to be a software dev. This is what I really do in daily life: https://devrant.molodetz.nl/2025061...

I destroy electronics for recycling.

Also, oftem have to destroy brand new stuff. https://devrant.molodetz.nl/2025061...

"True wireless" :p. I destroy around 60 electronics per hour. Also iPhones often. Today THE classic iPod almost. But someone stole it. It's such environment.

They started measuring deleted and added lines of code as a metric for productivity at my company. I have heard it's been done in other companies among friends... WHO THE FUCK IS PUSHING FOR THIS!?
Like WHY EVEN DO THAT USELESS SHIT???

AI tokens are just microtransactions for programmers

Tetris is an inventory management survival horror game

I think HR is the first role that could truly be replaced by an LLM.

Why is Musk not shot in the face yet?

Designers are divided into those who did create fonts and those who didn't.

It would be nice and more community spirit if people on YouTube would:

- stop using A.I. for voice-over
- stop using A.I. for random comments
- stop using A.I. for video content

It's beginning to become confusing what's real and what's not. I admire real creators, not quick-buck fakers.

UX didn't design with localized strings in other locales being up to ~40% longer in their mock ups

Doing some JavaScript right now and holy moly is this one spaghetti ass language

Promises referencing closures referencing local variables referencing message handlers referencing resolve callbacks referencing ... 😵‍💫

you're not allowed to hack computers, you get a felony for that

but hacking human brains is totally fine

I was today-years-old when I found out that a form with a post action will auto-redirect to the response URL, how about that!

Did you know there was a judaism school who just hated utf8?

Azure sucks!

I have been pulling my hair off using Azure. All questions I posted on their support doesn't have any answers.

Their documentation is overwhelming as hell, they don't provide enough examples. They just put information like they expect the user already knows it.

F*K U AZURE

We are refactoring the core feature of our unique selling point of our backend that all our products use.

And our product manager just decided that we will roll it out on Wednesday and we will not do any tests. r/whatcouldgowrong

A shout out to those considering deleting their dR account [esp. old timers here] and still on the fence. If you can -- don't.

If you're an old timer here, chances are you actually dev-ranted about real dev issues and possibly posted a solution found after all the frustration.

If you delete your acc, all these posts will disappear. Leave them be. Let them be a contribution to the community, to your fellow devs.

If this platform is no longer worth your time [can't blame you, really], you can simply log out and not come back here :)

Moving to neovim

Traffic getting worse and worse everyday

Who are all these people?
Why are they in my town?
Why do they all have on-site jobs?

In Windows 11, Microsoft has removed the option to make the taskbar smaller—and with the 24H2 build, even the old registry hack (TaskbarSi) no longer works.

Fuck Microsoft.
