At this point I think we can reject the theory that image upload somehow fixes itself.

I think I have a problem.
I remember when this platform used to have living people on it I didn't mind.
So i keep logging in curious what the dead fucking people said in response to me, knowing it will be the same anyway.
One day at a time... *deep breath*
Also fuck you, I wrote this before.

Holy fucking shit, I can't stand this corporate framework they use for this banking app on which I've been working on for 2 months.

I’ve spent the last damn month just building three basic screens, and now my very first PR is buried under 50 fucking comments. Half of them exist purely because their shitty framework has multiple versions stacked and stitched together with so many workarounds that you need so much domain knowledge that intuition or actual dev experience goes out the window.

They’ve abstracted real app development into oblivion. It’s a CRUD app, but they've over-engineered it so much they’re now creating their own problems — just so they can specialize in solving them. It's become this self-sustaining nightmare where they make themselves irreplaceable... and simultaneously unemployable anywhere else.

I genuinely have no idea what I’m doing with my life anymore. The original plan was six months here, grab a mortgage, fuck off, and go back to contracting.

Now I’m stuck questioning my sanity every time I open this project or have to listen to another lecture from my 'buddy' about how everything that I'm doing is wrong.

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.

After mass downvoting a serial ad spammer, apparently I've lost my downvote privileges and all of my downvotes are removed. Fucking great.

Meanwhile devrant is flooded with 99% spam, nazi trolling, pseudo intellectual conspiracy nonsense and politics.

I‘m tired of this shit.

I've been always thinking that all the web frameworks sucks, and a person should always use vanilla/pure php coding, the reason to say this is that overtime you will have to re-update your framework, watch out for fatal error due to compatibility, issues shows up when a function is deprecated due to the framework forcing you to re-code your stuff, isn't this a waste of time? Isn't this a pain in the ass? Finally isn't a framework a result of a pure coded php?

Advice: Don't use react

Video editing is hard af. I shifted from VSDC Free editor to Davinci Resolve now, and its kicking my ass.

That's all.

just spent a good three days of my week off trying to figure out how to containerize a couple of services. nothing crazy, two frontends communicating with the same backend and then having it all be handled via a nginx reverse proxy.

i cannot overstate how much i do not like docker at this moment in time. it seems like every time i run into a solved issue for any underlying technology, docker *requires* you to figure out some workaround to do it differently. obviously my use case isn't exactly the docker use case (i am NEVER going to redeploy these services anywhere else and i will only ever develop locally and run remotely) but i cannot imagine myself keeping sane trying to configure this for anything larger. things just don't make sense in my brain here.

WordPress really is one big piece of garbage. Can't even handle a simple batch operation of 10K items where the process just simply updates 3 fields on a piece of content...

I'm all for trans rights but drag racing sounds a bit cruel tbh with the high heels and all it sounds like a perfect recipe to have twisted ankles.

To automatically register your software to open on login should be classed as a capital crime, with the punishment being public execution by the spoon murderer

All the crypto bots and hire a hacker adverts make no sense. After all, they still need to either go through the API or make a selenium script. Will still take them 1 to 2 hours at least to build it. For what?

To advertise to a dying platform that has a dwindling community, which is on top of it well-versed in programming and technically affine, so that the probability of profiting of it is tiny...

My conjecture: A devrant member is pulling a long running prank.

I bet it's someone like theRealJase. Or someone like that.

Ads are intentionally produced litter.

So I've made a couple of these meme modifications already but the rants I post them into tend to get deleted. To avoid wasting the couple minutes of my work, I'll post them under this rant.

Maybe there's nothing good left on this place because there's nothing good left in being a dev

It’s kinda crazy how a lot of people think devs are smart and intelligent.

Here's an idea: starting my own botfarm to automatically downvote obnoxious adbots that simply won't stop tickling our collective fucking testicle sax with unrequited love stories and crypto bullshit.

To detect the sheeit, just look for idiot giving contact info in a rant about hacking the device of your unfaithful spouse/treacherous cyber girlfriend who also ran a bitcoin scam and fucked you in the ass with a welding torch. That should do the trick, I can give you that power with a perl script, because fuck you that's why.

But since there is no moderation in this bitch, daring to offer me sufficient knowledge to the inner workings of such a construct would be exceptionally perilous to your asshole. That is to say, nothing could then stop me from redirecting said botfarm to target my enemies and anally assault their every rant and comment.

Indubitably, this would in turn quickly spiral into digital warfare of cyberfeudal lords pitting their automated fake accounts against each other. Millions will die. Upside being hexical gets to pull the plug without guilt.

What do you say? Should we begin the apocalypse?

Whenever I see a website ask
1. Accept all cookies
2. Customize selection

I can see what they're really saying...

1. Accept! and I'll fuck off out of your way and let you read.

2. So you wanna read the content heh? Step into our office. Ok then, lets go through them one-by-one and you can explain to me why you think you don't need that cookie. and then MAYBE we'll fuck off our of your face so you can read the scant few lines of text standing between you and finishing your homework/job/whatever.

The fuck is it with the three or so "anti german" accounts?

I FINALLY comprehend list comprehensions.
I can write an unlimited amount of nested loops on a single line and make other less experienced people hate me for fun and profit.

Also learned about map() #I hate it#, zip(which is awesome), and the utility of lambdas (they're okay).

Enumerate is pretty nifty too, only thing I lose is setting the initial value of the iterator index.

Why arguing with each other while we could reunite and hunt those spammers together?

Got scammed on devrant by sketchy cryptocoin recovery services? Like a total dumb ass you clicked a sketchy link? Did you suffer temporary retardation and believed a scammer?

You may be entitled to public humiliation! Contact our services (totally not sketchy AF) and get doxxed, reposted, and made to look like a complete fool! (Javascript devs excluded, they suffer enough just existing.)

I’m using Devrant sporadically due to my lack of time and I really enjoyed it back in the early days. I see more and more scammers/spammers posting here and I feel like I’m not in the right place to be posting/sharing/ranting.
My question: is someone or more than one person here actually maintaining Devrant ? Why so many scammy accounts here ?

Is it my imagination or are the developers who write user interfaces in 2024 completely retarded?

I support the death penalty for spammers and scammers.

Visual Studio, if you don't stop mangling the indenting in my .cshtml files, I'm going to put my Wellington boots on and kick you squarely in the minge.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Always me

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink.

Does anybody know of ways to stop that horse from calling you an asshole as they die of thirst?

Guys I've been working on this site for months now. Can you help me and test it? (Write me your feedback on comments pls)
