Is it ok to rant about devRant app?

It works!!!!! WOOOOO YEAHH!!!

I am making a game for my country nepal which is like Flappy bird(only little bit)

I typed a long email and Outlook just hanged and closed. Upon re-open my email did not get saved to drafts. Argh!

i was tired of work, so i got couple of days off.

Quarantine has killed my soul and control. Started bad habit poker and continuously loosing still not able to stop it...

Went to the store to get some stuff only to comeback finding Windows auto updated. Nice.

Who else has the problem of wasting more time as you get more free time?

If you write "leader" on your LinkedIn profile, you must be killed. No questions.

Programming tip of the day:

Several hours of trial and error can save you many minutes of reading the docs.

Things I have learned:

-NEVER trust a group of people not to reply all to a large email
-NEVER trust a group of people not to reply to a group text

Screenshot is from yesterday, and violates my second lesson learned (Not my group text, not my fault)

It has always pissed me off that people will judge a game because it doesn’t have good/traditional graphics, or an incredible story, or other stuff like that.

So when people judge video games like Dwarf Fortress & NetHack, I get pissed because the devs that made those games put so much effort in creating really complex amazing games that are really detailed and fun (if you take the time to learn)

And those games can be so complex because they are ascii based and I personally don’t see that as a bad thing because that means they can just focus on gameplay and it’s fucking awesome and to me it’s inspiring.

Idk if anyone else agrees but it’s always just pissed me off to hear “That’s stupid it has no graphics” or “this isn’t a game it’s just text” or other stupid shit.

Today my manager asked me about my research into using RabbitMQ as a backup in case Azure Service Bus ever goes down.

Me: "Good. The way we designed the framework, all we have to do is drop the DLLs into the directory, update the config, and the services will start using RabbitMQ."
Mgr: "Excellent. Probably should be looking into using RabbitMQ as a permanent replacement for Azure"
Me: "What? The whole reason we moved to Azure was to eliminate the problems with having an on prem service bus. Since we've switched, there has been zero downtime."
Mgr: "That's what VP-Joe is afraid of. If Azure ever goes down, he won't know how to explain Azure to the president as to why we're not taking orders or can't ship packages."
Me: "That makes no sense. What did VP-Joe tell the president when a database goes down or a server mis-configuration?"
Mgr: "President understands internal outages, its just the whole 'cloud' thing he doesn't understand."
Me: "Um..then VP-Joe needs to explain it to him?"
Mgr: "The decision has already been made. Are you on board? Lets look at this move as a cost savings."
Me: "You mean the $10 a month? How much hardware will we need to support RabbitMQ?"
Mgr: "Yea, nobody probably thought of that."
Me: "I'm on board with whatever decision, but I'd like a little more than VP-Joe being afraid of the president."
Mgr: "I'm sure its not being afraid."
Me: "..."
Mgr: "OK, lets wait and see if VP-Joe forgets about this and moves on to something new."

I've been undergoing a treatment to try to kill off brain tumors using radiation beams over the last 2 weeks so had some time to really think about my own life so far and well the purpose and meaning of life in general.

I wrote this today though. It's still a draft on Medium, so just exported the PDF printout.

And wondering what y'all think. I don't have anywhere else to post it now since I just deactivated FB (last rant) and don't really have any friends or at least smarter than average ones.

Each time someone rants about GitHub changing shit ("Master/Slave")

I coded the app so good
I optimized the UX SO GOOD
I made the UI look GOOD
I made the error handling and input validation ROCK HARD SOLID BULLETPROOF

NO FUCKING WAY COULD YOU FUCK THIS UP

NO WAY COULD YOU BE DUMB ENOUGH NOT TO KNOW HOW TO USE IT AND NOT FUCK IT UP

I GAVE IT TO MY DAD AS A NORMAL USER TO TEST THE APP AND HE FUCKED IT UP ON THE FIRST TRY

HE DIDNT UNDERSTAND THE UX.
