You don't want to learn any of the existing JavaScript frameworks? Just create your own framework and use it...

There's a place in Hell for those who ask a question, find the answer, and never report back on their findings.

There is always this grumpy redditor who's mad about your post.

Such a nice feeling that people are actually using your open source project :)

But but... Linux was first released in 1991!!

Fucking developers putting emojis in their code!

My terminal (st) doesn't support displaying emojis and it crashes immediately once it read an emoji. I have been chasing crashing bugs for weeks and I just found out where the issue is.

I was just watching a livestream YouTube video hoping to learn something new but the streamer clearly has no idea what he is doing. He was just looking things up all the time and failing miserable to find anything useful for the program he's trying to build.

Funny thing, the last statement he said was: "I give up, bye!" and that's it!! 1.5 hours of my life wasted for nothing.

A few minutes ago, I was going crazy over a bug caused due to data mutation in Rails.

Basically, user1 was creating a post record and it's stored in the database normally however, on page reload for a second user, user2, the post (that user1 created) was update to belong to user2. This is because, on page reloads, I was using `<<` method call to append user2 and user1 posts together! Apparently, `<<` not only mutates the array, it also performs a database update.

Kill me please!!

Also, data immutability seems a more reasonable feature in languages now.

Good God do I hate frontend development!

I had a dream that I was dual-booting Linux and Windows together 😨.

Thank God it was just a dream.

There are people who push code to GitHub and there are people who just fork your code on GitHub, and that's it. They don't do anything else with it.

This startup I started working for with their shitty code base written by interns, restrictive sys admin who had no actual use in the company since I was the one setting up their servers, know-it-all CEO, stupid HR representative who used to grill employees for being 10 minutes late in the morning, very small apartment "HQ", using fingerprints to signal our entry and our leave to and from the office, no formal process, and, to top it all, monitoring our own laptops which we use for work with a software that takes screenshots every few minutes. In short, it had the worst in corporates with the worst of startups combined in one company.

If, hypothetically, we could overlook all this, I couldn't overlook the horrible smell this place had. The apartment was overlooking a small garden which was a home for many stray cats and dogs. You can imagine how horrible this smell was. The weird thing was that no one there seemed to really care about the smell!!

I lasted there for only one week before I gave my resignation and I believe I had every right to do so.

Let's rewrite the internet in Rust!

A functional system bar for my window manager in Go. It's so light on system resources that htop can barely report its system usage. Also, I haven't changed anything in the code in a year and it still works perfectly.

`xdg-open` on Linux is fucked up. The thing never works properly for me.

In the attached screenshot below, you can see that `feh` is the default application for opening jpg files, however, it always opens the file in the browser. It doesn't work for any other filetypes as well. It's just messed up.

By the way, I tried to do some debugging on the line number xdg-open reports. It calls this bash line: `"$command_exec" "$@"`, however, when I echo the command, it prints nothing. So this means it can't find the program to open the file with and, at the same time, it reports that the program is set as you can see in the screenshot!!

I always make the mistake of choosing the wrong courses thinking that I might learn something. I learn nothing and I drop out of the course as a result.

I always forget that my university is not a place to learn anything. It's just for a fucking piece of paper no more, no less so I should take the easiest courses to just pass by.

Stupid class discussions are one reason I'm suicidal.

I ran `git rebase` on a shared branch and pushed it to the origin. It messed the whole history. I tried a few things to fix what I did (I don't remember the commands I tried) but I only made it worse.

The final result? Even though I was new to the project, every old commit in the history was changed to include my name as the author of that commit.

Lesson learned the hard way :hands_down_emoji:

At first I thought fml means fuck my life but, it turns out, it means fuck machine learning.

How many of us here suffer from depression or any other mental illness? And how does it hinder you from living your normal life?

I hear a lot that doing competitive programming is important to land jobs and that it would improve your ability to solve problems, however; I hate it and I suck at it so much. I don't see improvement except for knowing how to solve a certain problem and I forget about it after some time.

I can't stand doing any kind of abstract, unrealistic problem solving for whatever reason. I love solving real-world problems that actually matter and provide an actual value on the other hand.

A kind of twisted question but what are the features/keywords/syntax you don't want to be in your favorite programming language?

Do you get informed about the reasons behind business decisions in your job?

That wasn't the case in my last job and I dreaded my code for that reason.

I think this kind of lack of information can lead to bad engineering decisions and unstructured code. Also, this doesn't lead to the needed ownership of your work.

What do you think?

I love programming and everything but my god, this career can suck your soul out of you!

Godly motivation.

Everyone is wishing others a happy new year and I'm here feeling angry and depressed!

The longest vacation I took in my last job was only for three days. I didn't touch a computer for those three days.

Got my linux setup bricked the day before my final exam.

!rant

It's weird how a tiny gesture from someone you care about/like is enough to make your whole day.

I wanna talk about the obsession that precedes every new personal project.

I keep thinking about it, searching, getting new ideas and more features, pulling my hair, and laughing like a mad scientist. I think I might be crazy.
