did you guys know this existed? https://www.lexaloffle.com/ just stumbled upon it and now want to build my first games or better hardware that runs this stuff! :D

!rant
finally after months and months of just planning and doing boring stuff a piece of code that was really just fun to code and plan for some days:
i just wrote my first "real" parser for a simple DSL. so much fun! i just really can recommend that to everybody.
i've use a parser combinator. the concept of this parser combinator ist to combine simple parsers (like when it starts with a number or a "-" and continues with numbers then its an integer etc) into a big one. i've written it in c# and used "Sprache" first and after some time i switch to "Superpower". a really great lib, but lacks a bit of documentation. anyway, i've your're interested in these things and want learn how your "daily code" gets parsed i would recommend that to you! :)
greetings to all fellow devRanters and happy coding / parsing! :)

for everyone like me hating the new chrome tabs style "touchable" that firefox dropped a few versions ago:
chrome://flags/#top-chrome-md
set it to "Normal" and you're back to "Normal" e.g. good looking. you're welcome ;)

me, first job interview:
interviewer: so how about your knowledge of java
me: yeah, done some projects, should be ok
interviewer: what about polymorphism in java, can you tell me sth about it?
me (thinking i'm totally right): hehe, you can't do polymorphism in java!

guess what, didnt get the job :D

some senior dev told me about 8 or 9 years ago that i'm going to be a good developer or an alcohol addict in the future. guess what... #teambeer ;)

so... 9 years ago we had this super awesome codebase. 1 file, complete logic COPIED to be used in ui and service/daemon. I scrolled to the middle of the file and there was no source. it was out of bounds of my monitor to the right because of nested ifs. ok... what the fuck!! the worst part: I had to implement a new FEATURE into this mess. 2 days. I said it would not work as expected because the feature was not thought through. but project said let's gooooo! ok there I was, a junior with an impossible to implement feature and a codebase from hell. I've implemented something, all night long. next day it was the problem of the consultants. they called me, I told them why it's impossible that this would ever work, they understood and talked to the customer. he accepted the solution. WTF?! anyway, in those days I thought about quitting developing software as my daily job....

just got this relic back from a friend: "Prototype and Scriptaculous in action". its from 2007.

reading books, documentations and specifications within minutes and remember anything in it, so i can directly start on getting to work and know which solution might be the best without spending days in specs and doc. :)

i should be writing some unit tests for a customer project, but i brought my new nintendo switch to work and there is nobody else in this room... :D

start playing alle the (still sealed) games for my consoles that molder in my shelves or in my steam library

when you're trying to play #screeps at work but your phone rings all the time and the internal messenger won't stop trying to get my attention...
