Video adaptation of the rant from @Wisecrack - https://youtu.be/_zo7mMeH2xU

Have fun watching 😁

Today I tried teaching a 36 years old student about HTML and layout. My inner self is always restless for practice as an excuse for less talking, but in the end I end up doing even more talking and getting kinda embarrassed.

Good thing is that student understood everything well enough in this 1 hour. I also inserted some good stuff: tips and tricks, conventions mentioned, trends... He even craved for more information.

I'm going to prepare to make further studies more fruitful, because the next synopses won't be as theoretical as today's one.

If you ever make rating request pop up when user makes something else, I SWEAR TO GEEBUS, I'll make you regret your life choices!

It feels very satisfying to write out 20 user stories without overly complex sentence structure.

Open source software repositories don't deserve contributors like JamesCrook. It's a shame, really, that maintenance befalls on them.

TFW video freezes because of buffering and plays after a minute of waiting, then 5 seconds later buffering starts again. Gee, I just want you to keep playing whatever is possible, not stare at the screen poorly awaiting next 5 seconds of content! Rewind a bit, I dunno, just don't tease me like that...

MY LAPTOP just scared the shit out of me. It screamed words like a demon. I thought that I am hacked. But it was just a screen reader... I accidentally activated it or something while unlocking the lappy.

Of course, CDN had to fall down on the day (out of 1k days of ignorance) when I finally decided to unsubscribe from Medium and other bs newsletters. I'll delegate this to the spam folder.

I hold the stance that the best development tools are the ones with enough novice tolerance and no tendency to stay on contributors' way. The worst tools will make you adopt opinions that serve to make more harm than good, be it on the communicative side of things or codebase.

(Questions below.) At this point I probably just whine about job search in IT w/o much commitment. It's because I don't learn stuff from interviews and have no willingness to prepare for primitive questions from HR's book. You know, stuff like: "What was your experience on previous jobs and why you quited them?" and "What are your advantages and cons?"
Even though I see them a bit discriminatory. I barely find words and make them audible alrite, and so rush to the stack questions. I answer 50% of them in average, 20% ideally. As a result, I get no conclusive offer. Fair... probably not. Doesn't matter.

All of a sudden, idea chimed in to make a personal website with all of the frequent questions answered in advance. At last, I've got some time to make the decent replacement of the CV into a landing page that communicates my professional and emotional ability to headhunters.

TL;DR: I wanna make my personal website portfolio and I need your word about the following.
1) Can I make up for the absence of my own live projects with OSS commitments or other smooth talk?
2) Is there a merit in answering the common interview questions right off the bat in written form?
3) So, I already prepared 4 conclusive theses with thoughtput choice of words, that I wanna place as a grid in first scrolling section. I call it "Principles", but perhaps there is a synonym to this one or it's good as it is?
4) I don't want to represent myself as a blunt set of "features". How do I transite into explaining the usage of my stack in these circumstances? Less text better, right?

♫ We're gonna build a FRAMEWORK! ♫

HP employees bored confirmed.

Everything from https://devrant.com/rants/4289918 but on the side of projects I happen to work with and dependencies. Applying this scope of change on one human is a bit cheap, don't you think? 🤷‍♂️

♫ Your API is a HALL OF SHAME! ♫

A mentor

Humour me.

Hidden pixel just scratched my finger while I was wiping the screen with my palm. Lesson successfully learned.

Fuck these frequent "URGENT TO REVIEW" pull requests with 10+ files changed by lead each time, amirite or amirite?

Happy new year! 🎄🎇🎊🍾
*Let* your best ideas acquire an ambitious form in 11111100101 ;)

Something epic I didn't think of yet. It's not like you have unlimited time every eternity.

*sigh* What am I doing? I should have started with contributing to this! https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/...

I invite you to participate in private Clash of Code tournament for devRanters @ https://discord.gg/jMp64VH
We await you at Saturday 12/5 10:00 AM Eastern Time 😉🛡⚔

Whywhywhywhywhywhywhywhy?

Why one would put all 30+ menu items in mixin??! Please do tell.

Whoever uses "status" as boolean in responses to indicate whether error happened (true) or not (false)??????!!

One employer has just contacted me, said that my resume seems very interesting and invited me.
Now I'm looking at their website, all from 00s and with cringey fonts. Ok, they do "automatization of financial systems" and etc.
Alright, scrolling down... Suddenly, I see cut from the familiar soviet cartoon "Vovka in the Far Away Kingdom", where in the end Vova says:
- Well, that would do!

IRONY 😂

Now I'm questioning my will to attend this interview.

If point-and-click game made in PowerPoint, that my grandma actively played because of boredom, is "creative hacky solution", then there you have it.

First game is "The Adventures of Sayid", second "Hide and Seek" with creepy pasta sound and graphic assets from Shrek: Activity Center.
Well, that's my childhood without Internet, what I can say!

I became familiar with basics after my mom bought a PC and disc with software which included FirstPage. She wasn't *that* angry getting a $100 receipt for the month of Internet I trafficked - oopsie, thatta large price, even after inflation.

CircleCI takes the cake for the most annoying of constant development advertisement campaigns on YouTube, change my mind.
I mean, the product is nice and everything, but what the hell? Why should *I* make sense of your changelog - just go and show what it does in practice! Ugh, why I must teach you marketing, CircleCI, smh...

I've made a fun video transcribing one of the hot discussions on devRant: https://youtu.be/kL4TgNUS-9I
Please leave suggestions about what I should transcribe next in familiar format, also I wouldn't mind like and sharing! ;)
