update: oh boy, spent the whole day in the hospital - bronchopathy. They did some exams and you know that propylene glycol thingy vape liquids use to produce all that vapor? It seems that while that shit's safe to eat, your lungs can't digest it, obviously. Therefore I am now stuck puking that shit out the next couple of weeks. Don't touch ANY sort of vape, friends

we all been there, if not, you're doing it wrong or not doing it at all. Either way, this time around it was Spotify's API. I had this great shit cooked I took down a while back and decided to get it back up because fuck why not so i put it online and BAM! No track preview playing, audio analysis missing and a feature I've busted a vessel to implement was utterly broken. I was very proud of that one btw, it generated color palettes from user taste in an actually meaningful way, no random shit, like, I almost got bald grasping the theory behind it... But I digress...
So I cloned that stupid project and checked some shit out and BAKABANG! Spotify deprecated all the endpoints and response fields I actually needed and only they had that shit FTP.... So I've noticed they still had their Embed API running... Hmmm hehehe.... Wrote a fucking module that used it for playing my tracks, so yeah, now I have playable tracks again... Illegally,might I add, since I'm not displaying the god awful banner their embedAPI fucks you with... The audio features thou, that's a mess cuz I now need to do the fucking audio analysis on top of that fucking embed API and FUCK my heart out figuring out a way to make it snappy without an actual server cuz yes, it's a SPA... fuck

oh boy

the most important thing of all is STABILITY! IF ITS NOT STABLE DO NOT USE IT

there's only one sure way to quit smoking and it's called lifeand by life I mean coughing up some blood a second time

be my guest, I don't give a fuck so long as I can do it too

Aaahz the subtlety of AI induced bugs. Them fucks are so great at lipsticking bad code I'd end up fucking it before giving it a good look. Not now, thou, not now. My brain has figure out a workaround by telling me when shit is bad. My left eye starts twitching and I know, I KNOW that shit's bad

before, when I was younger, whenever I knew someone was wrong and I could prove it, i would do it... Nowadays I don't a fuck, let them burn

I'm rewriting this horrendous piece of software that's like, real ugly, I mean, seriously ugly. A non stop mess of global variables and aliases and logical tantrums and fuck I know what else...

That's until today.

Today, after a ton of time spent clenching 2k LOC of ASS into readable 1.2k LOC, all tests passing, and passing faster if I may...

Then came a horrifying realization...

It downed on me, harder than a naked superman for a young Louis Lane

Tha maybe, just maybe, if them codes 's só shitty then probably so is them tests

So I tried deleting a obviously important conditional and to my dismay... oh boy, tests kept passing

...

I really really enjoy the parinfer experience. Even more now that I tweaked the code a bit. I mean, joining and splitting a full file of lines on every typed character seems a bit out of scope for a plugin. So I changed the implementation to not do that and BOY OH BOY IT S FAST! Next step is using bytes instead of strings... To be continued

There's this really cute girl who works at the store where I buy my vaping things, who keeps eyeballing me very awkwardly and keeps giving me a 20% discount on every little thing I buy there. Like, I've never ever got any discounts from any of her co-workers. But whenever o try chitchatting she starts acting like she's so cool, I'm twiddling this thingy here, but yeah I'm listening, uh uh, yes, ahahaha, yes yes, I'm so cool.

And now I'm really confused...but the more I think about the more I'm convinced I should just get it done with and ask her out already

me likes competition me thinks competition good for me. Gives me them blings and fussies and yep me happy

Food for thought, if rust-analyzer can infer the type, why the FUCK can't rustc?

I gotta say, it's really fucking annoying I always need to write a SHIT TON O BOILER PLATE for any lua code

ISP throttlin
they raging
wreckin my deadlines
so shamelessly
so I'm cancelling
fuck yeah I'm cancelling
eat it sick fucks

tech bros be like treesitter this treesitter that and bla bla bla buh blah bawa and honestly fuck that shit
I mean, it's great concept shit but down to earth it's a clusterfuck
meaning if you actually want a decent mofo of a highlight you might as well write that query file yourself just as I did for python, markdown, bash, rust, zig, typescript... Like, shit, you dumb fucks be writing a shit ton of unmanageable, unformatable s-expressions, fucking up my editor's performance. I AM NOT KIDDING, fuck! Original bash highlights.scm's like 300 LOC of smelly patchwork and mine's like 100, shat in a single sitting that actually follows the damn fucking language spec. Do you think I'll waste my time contributing with my queries? NO FUCKING WAY! Why not, buddy? Well, cuz I FUCKING DESPISE one of the projects core maintainers. Asscrack piece of shit asshole. BUT if you treesitter bros out there ever get rid of that cockroach of a man make no mistake I'll take that shitheat's place and front the project the codes

ditch it before you fix it

The more I think about the more it makes sense. If you're running a tracing jit compiler for a language with TCO does that means tail recursive functions are like asking to get traced?

Neovim plugins look nicer by the minute and yet added value's falling faster than the US's economy

what brothers me is the experience requirements like motherfucker, if I had all those years I'd be retired by now. you gov? wanna cut my pension is it?

I am not a particularly vengeful one, but today I was, and everyday onwards I'll be turning it up a notch on recurrence. WTF is Kobenz talking about? Well, let me fill you in. For the worst part of 7 months I've been having my already fucked up hearing beaten to a pulp by the neighboring apartment's renovation works, sounds that would often balloon over 120dB, continuously. Last week the actual owner finally moved into their apartment and the sounds had stopped. Of course, i had spent every minute of my blight concocting vengeful schemes to get even. But while I was so full of think hatred and maliciousness, I, of course, let it all got. As i said, not a particularly vengeful individual, that I am not. Until yesterday that is, when the whole reformation crew was back here at 8am, banging my ears with those awful noises... So today, i woke up at 4am, set up my blender and my speakers, waited until 6am sharp and turned it all on, ALL of it. If today I hear even so much as a wisp of that deranged reformation noise, tomorrow at 5am I'll do it all over again. And every day from now on, I'll rinse and repeat it an hour earlier than before, speakers cranked up a notch above their previous noise, the blender running half hour longer than its previous running time and I'll add a new source of noise every single FUCKING DAY!

Whenever you're feeling like you've had a hellish upbringing, remember what I've just found out about mine. that not only did my mother do acid and other drugs while pregnant with me, she also did it while breastfeeding me... As if beating and screaming my childhood away from me wasn't enough

working at company x in pictures

Creating functions inside loops should be a felony

Hey, we gotta refactor this

How mu..

Well... I thing these parts right h...

..ch you're paying?

Today I've had the pleasure of wrapping my brain around shell-quoting in all its insane glory

no man, I can't rebase, I don't work for you anymore

if a normal brain ran on bits, an ADHD brain runs o qubits but with NO cooling system

I'm not joking when I say how dumb I am. Like, for example, yesterday, me and a friend had to figure out how much is 15×6. He did it by doing 10×6 + 5×6, that's 2 "×"s and a single "+", dead simple, right? Yep. Me? I did it 5×3×3×2... Which, ok, is 9×10, but do you think I can do 9×10? Nope, to me 9×10 is the result 🤌🏻 that's how much of a door knob I am
