Why do otherwise intelligent people think chatgpt code is a good idea if they don't know what the code does?
I am a bit in shock by this prospect. I asked about some lines of code that was using some templates I had not used before. The response was "I dunno, chatgpt." This person is really really smart. Yet deploying code that they don't understand completely. This seems dangerous and irresponsible. I ended up rewriting the function I had questions about. It was significantly shorter and didn't do a fuckton of copying strings around.
WTF is wrong with people? Are people afraid to think? Now I want to get out before this kind of shit becomes the norm.5 -
Spent weeks cleaning up legacy code, because my phone was ringing non-stop about errors and crashes, got it done. The CEO has been on vacation for like a month and a half, so I had to make executive judgements, and has just now returned. I got called down to the CEO's office so that I could get bitched at for marginally changing the appearance and behavior of a part of the site. I explain that it was necessary, and the response I got was "it was working fine for five years". All I could say to that was "no it fucking wasn't, are we working at the same company?" When I go to take another job, I might just put all of the old code back in place to remind them of how much "better" things ran before I worked here. Massive headache now, physical and proverbial.

Telling a web developer to use Divi, WP Bakery, or any similar WordPress page builder is like forcing a plumber to use your little kid's kindergarten toy tools to rebuild your bathroom.
Those tools don't even work! Divi: "your save has failed". Bakery: saving an element's styles will randomly mess up the whole WYSIWYG page preview. Gutenberg: you can write HTML, but I won't accept it. Let's attempt block recovery so I can destroy it completely.
It feels like trying to use PowerPoint to develop a website. Who's the target audience of this kind of crapware and how are they supposed to use it? -
I swear if I see one more person/blogger/news-article/YouTuber say "Microsoft Update that broke computers worldwide" about the *CrowdStrike* fiasco I will flip.
And half of those don't even get the rest of the story correctly either, just make up bullshit for the sake of publishing a story.1 -
After being abducted and enduring torture, I injected the serum and became blur. Translucent black, with a red heart. I can make people disappear. Me putting someone inside my heart makes them feel 10,000 years of hell before they die.

Nearly half (47%) of workers using AI say they have no idea how to achieve the productivity gains their employers expect.
Over three in four (77%) say AI tools have decreased their productivity and added to their workload in at least one way.

Crowdstrike event caused a disaster at my company.
No, we didn't had a single crash, but something much worse has happened. My tech lead who lives in early 90's got his confirmation that we shall run with 0 internet, everything on premise, no source control, no external libraries only the absolute must that doesn't need ever any update. Finally we started to show him how powerful an azure pipeline would be, but after this, there's no hope.5 -
I’m on this ticket, right? It’s adding some functionality to some payment file parser. The code is atrocious, but it’s getting replaced with a microservice definitely-not-soon-enough, so i don’t need to rewrite it or anything, but looking at this monstrosity of mental diarrhea … fucking UGH. The code stink is noxious.
The damn thing reads each line of a csv file, keeping track of some metadata (blah blah) and the line number (which somehow has TWO off-by-one errors, so it starts on fucking 2 — and yes, the goddamn column headers on line #0 is recorded as line #2), does the same setup shit on every goddamned iteration, then calls a *second* parser on that line. That second parser in turn stores its line state, the line number, the batch number (…which is actually a huge object…), and a whole host of other large objects on itself, and uses exception throwing to communicate, catches and re-raises those exceptions as needed (instead of using, you know, if blocks to skip like 5 lines), and then writes the results of parsing that one single line to the database, and returns. The original calling parser then reads the data BACK OUT OF THE DATABASE, branches on that, and does more shit before reading the next line out of the file and calling that line-parser again.
JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE FUCK
And that’s not including the lesser crimes like duplicated code, misleading var names, and shit like defining class instance constants but … first checking to see if they’re defined yet? They obviously aren’t because they aren’t anywhere else in the fucking file!
Whoever wrote this pile of fetid muck must have been retroactively aborted for their previous crimes against intelligence, somehow survived the attempt, and is now worse off and re-offending.
Just.

This isn't serious. I struggled with the order. The main point was that the smart ones left the industry. I thought about making JS Devs be lowest tier. Please contribute your own version if you can think of a better ordering.24

Started getting crashes constantly on all browsers, games and whatever.
Seems to be related to gen 14 Intel CPUs and Asus motherboards but my BIOS didn't have the settings I was told to change.
Anyone knows about this and has any pointers? They would be much appreciated.5 -

Tatatataa...
Writing a simple parser for a simple configuration format at work...
Surprisingly fun; I decided not to use a lot of ECMAScript's fancy stuff and do it C-like... ish.
Good fun, I may make it more generic and configurable and put it on my GitHub...1 -
I miss @nanos. Sometimes his stuff was difficult to read (for me), but he was a genuinely cool dude. I find myself skipping over long posts a lot. I kinda feel bad for pointing that out to him. Maybe he would have stayed.
There have been a lot of interesting people here over the last 6 years. I wonder what some of them are doing now.11 -
I broke my code,
got distracted fixing it,
annnnd accidentally flaked on my friend
fuck
why am I like this
I have such regrets8 -
It is only now that I can finally appreciate how brilliant PHP is.
When you're new to programming, you write some HTML + CSS, it looks good, but the dynamic part is missing. So, you install PHP and just… write dynamic parts right in your HTML? How crazy is that? You can even write regular code there too! Errors are logged right away, common features like DB driver and sessions are built in…
It's all about marketing. Next.js does exactly the same thing when they brag about writing SQL in React. When they do it, it's revolutionary. When PHP does it, PHP bad. Gotcha fam 🫤18 -
I fucking give up, AWS is retarded. It's the worst piece of shit retarded fucking platform ever created and every fucking engineer that touched the code should have their fingers chopped off, shoved down their throats and then be beheaded.
I can't believe that this retarded shit is the "industry standard" for deploying anything ever. Every fucking page feels and uses as if it was fucking outsourced to a different part of india everytime. The fucking pagination behaves differently in every fucking service. Half of the new services just gave up and run on their own fucking thing, because presumably their own platform just couldn't even handle it anymore and fucking CloudFormation is the fucking kingpin of this entire retarded platform. Slapping and unslapping shit together unttil it fucking get's stuck in an unresolvable state because half the fucking services need 58 unrelated permissions to perform a simple delete.
Fuck AWS, Fuck Amazon, Fuck Bezos, Fuck the Cloud and Fuck this whole "Serverless" scam. I really truly wish everyone that had anything to do with making AWS a reality just drop dead on the spot right now so that we can forget that aws ever happened.10 -
I want an AI trained on Anna's archive
that would be so crazy
it's an archive of over 100 million books and papers and such. it is all piracy though. but it's like all the good stuff
actually evidently they have a section addressing this already... goddamn this would be crazy. I guess this is gonna be crazy2 -
why cant i just fucking die of a disease or natural death early. why is my stupid fucking heart beating after all the bullshit I've been put thru. why doesnt it just fucking explode and die. why am i fucking alive. to suffer? what kind of a fucking sadistic, whoever keeps me alive, is this? i have had enough of everything8

While I am trying to create a freelancing career, I reflected on this:
Why would a client want to hire an expensive developer rather than creating an account on any website builder, such as WordPress, Wix, Hostinger, etc.?
Hiring a developer means a big ordeal explaining what they want, explaining what they want again, correcting the mistakes that definitely will appear, all that not being able to see in real-time with you as it's developed. Of course, one can be hired to work on these builders, like I am, in fact, but aren't we coders? Don't we rather code than play virtual Lego?
One could argue that he or she could be a busy person and has no time to build their own site, but at the same time, I see this as exactly what makes these builders appealing, since they are supposed to be quick to build a website and put it online for you. Hell, buy the fucking theme and done.
All I can think of is customization, since flexibility is the main selling point about hiring a developer to build your website. However, the more complex it is, a team would probably be needed, or it would take a huge amount of time to finish the project, not to mention bug fixes afterward. Also, I don't believe most people give a shit about how customized it is. They want to see the blocks stacked with their branding and that's it.
My client's website is on Kajabi, and he wants it there because it has a myriad of integrations he needs. Another uses WordPress. However, I did finish a website for a friend, and I am about to start another one for somebody else that I will build from scratch, which is nice, at least.
Maybe we are better off being hired by companies, working 9 to 5s with other team members on big projects for a common goal to satisfy the client and the boss, and not work a freelancer or alone, unless we're ready to spend months working on a project because what the client wants is beyond a landing page and cannot be done in a simple builder, or always work on simple, brain-dead landing pages that at most have some cool animation with GSAP or Framer.6 -
blocked the whore blonde ex gf everywhere.

Teams annoys me again by selecting the black skin tone for this emoji 💪🏿 no matter what I try to do to select another tone or the neutral yellow tone.
Now my colleagues must think of me that I want to send some message or something… damn it Teams!
I need to go to the freaking iOS Teams client to be able to post 💪. The other one is the bullshit electron desktop client.11 -
Honestly, the syryp one is probably worse for your health. Neither will have an impact on your day if you are just using for flavor. Didn't realize fake shit was just as expensive now. Are they stupid?8
