What is up with a lot of DR users deleting their account and creating a new one?

I have to rebuild a full application till the end of the year without ever using the original application and without a technical document while keeping the users happy.

2 people team compared to a multinational team over 10 years :')

How are you supposed to do that!?

Started a new job a month ago and my ex-colleague asked yesterday if we are recruiting. I wonder how it is going at my old job 😅

I got so many concerns/questions about the EU chat control and the future. Sorry for my long rant lol:
1) What about projects that are on life support and no active development?
2) What about chat application in video games or the chat service on the website of a local shop
3) What about false flags? Like that parent who got into legal trouble for sharing a picture of his kid with a doctor to get a medical opinion on some skin condition. (might misremember the details)
4) What about false flags like instagram banning accounts and forwarding it to the police department and over-exhausting the resources of the police (accidental 'DDOS' of their personel)
5) What if the content shared in country A is legally OK but not in country B. What if you then travel there? Or if your participant is from that country B.
6) What about content that is taboo but should be OK to discussed? Like puberty or hormonal discussions online? Some subreddits like "stopsmoking" is now also regional banned by Reddit in the UK to avoid any unneeded risks. That is bad. YouTube had some problem where adult content existed on their platform but labeled as educational.
7) What if you encrypt messages before sending it. Will you be banned just in case? What if you need support with an app and you send an encrypted application crash log that came from your computer, will you now be banned just in case?
8) What if you like privacy and have those apps for innocent purposes. Is having those apps now illegal
9) What if criminals use apps from Asia or Africa or somewhere where this law is not present/enforced. Or what if they create a simple app with this encryption. It is not difficult to make one.
10) Before 2001, airport security was very lax but then 9/11 happened and the security increased. It never went back to the state before. Since they have or will have this check, what will them stop it from expanding it after the next disaster of an unrelated accident (like terrorist attack).
11) What if those services miss a case? Will the company that allows this to be send now have legal trouble?
12) What if users are using metaphors or practice self-censorship to avoid flagged words? We see it with monetization in social media (like murder or killing is replaced with "unaliving")
13) It will be just an other problem to start a new company with limited budget. So start-ups will just have a bit harder time to break into the market.
14) this might just push users away from mainstream options
15) it's just an other attack vector for hackers to use
16) Do we want to have private companies be able to scan our messages because they are contracted by the government? They can have their own bias to satisfy their shareholders. What if they are invested by the Big Oil so critic towards the Big Oil is altered? How certain can you be this won't happen now or in the future. Reddit Admin did that before so who knows at this point.
17) Anonymity will disappear.
18) Different companies verify users and store this data so this seems like a major cyberrisk and identity theft waiting to happen
19) fragmentation of users. it is now annoying that some family or friends don't use whatsapp but use telegram and the other way around. You might need +5 chat application to keep contact and lose social relationships.
20) Is AI detected messages even legal proof in court?
21) What if you talk about video games and flag the AI system this way? Or use abbreviation from a niche community that also overlaps with flagged words (like checkpoint being abbreviated as CP) or just the language with poor support or use a 'dialect' in your chat that trips up the software.
22) What if your phone is stolen and they send those messages in your name or this is done remotely.
23) What if you are sharing old family pictures and there is 1 and only 1 odd picture that just barely trips up the system.
24) Games like 'Beyond human' also has gameplay that hurts a fictional child which fits the storyline and acts as shock value. Will this be banned
25) The newer population will see this as normal so what will they find acceptable if they can now vote

My phone broke a few months ago and when I went to a local retailer. All their phone specification and the price were locked behind a QR-code. You could not make an educated purchase lol

Who was the idiot that thought this was a good idea.

What is your side project that you have been working on?

For the people who work in the office, is there some music in the office or is the majority wearing a headset?

What is your recommended hosting platform?

I'm making a website+backend (react, c# + small sql db + discordjs bot) for a friends gaming community and would like to host it "soon".

I started a new job a few weeks ago as a frontend developer. I have to create a new app to replace an old outdated process (no problem). The person who is doing the back-end development seems to be swamped in work & meetings. The new front-end is already blocked by the lack of progress of the back-end API development.

I'm a bit concerned about my tasks lol

My boss published someones resume online to make fun of it because it was handwritten. He at least blurred out that persons name but not the past jobs & other info...

It took me 30 minutes on linkedin to find the person that I believe it is.

Isn't this a GDPR violation lol

We had a teambuilding last Friday. We went indoor karting and it was a lot of fun. My project manager does not have a driving license and it did show.

The karts have a boost button (electric karts) and my project manager used it before a turn and then slammed into wall. Now he got a few bruised ribs haha

Also, it's still funny to me that I was part of the teambuilding during my resignation but i'm not gonna complain about that. :D

age++

AI tokens are just microtransactions for programmers

Quote of our co-founder today: "Recently I've learned we should be doing market research before building something"

Explains why we are so much in the red now...

I'm currently exporting the designs & the scrapped iterations i had to make for my job in the past 4 years.

My first boss wanted to have an iteration saved per design and have already multiple 'final' options available per design meeting.

Now my current boss is asking to export them all but the bulk export functionality is broken. Never realised I spend so much time designing this shit application. There are over 16.000 designs to be exported by hand.

They now want to get rid of this tool since nobody else will do designs.

There is some construction works going in my street and they just cut the internet cable by accident... for the second time.

I love having no internet to get work done :v

Our ex-employee wrote an amazing SQL SELECT-query consisting of 6449 characters. It has 11 JOINS and takes a solid minute to execute.

The table it fetches from has 16 records and the SQL query returns 46857 records and it was production code lmao

My project mananger let it slip during the sprint review that the upper managers are making plans to do lay offs / cut the fat.

What an ideal moment to hand in my resignation.

Tomorrow I'll get the contract for a new job \o/

This is a first... My CEO made a youtube video announcing that they fired an employee (sales). I don't even know why they had to make a youtube video. The link was part of an email, just write it down in that email instead of labeling it as "small message from our CEO"

So disrespectful in my opinion.

Quote of my CEO today: "We are never going to get an other lawyer as customer... Only problems!"

Imagine our users knowing their rights, such a shame.

We are refactoring the core feature of our unique selling point of our backend that all our products use.

And our product manager just decided that we will roll it out on Wednesday and we will not do any tests. r/whatcouldgowrong

Today, a colleague and I had to travel to a different office 2h away one way to play our mandatory game of table tennis....

It's now 5 minutes past my official working hours and they still haven't pulled out their foldable pingpong table. So respectful

I've had to create a very simple frontend feature connected to an API. That part works flawlessly but we have rewritten a bunch of code in the system for a certain hardware device.

Now the person that was working on the backend just said today he has no device to test it on lab environment. Neither does any colleague apparently

And guess who got a meeting with the CEO, COO, sales people and the project manager for a demo of that said feature :D

Company made it known a few weeks earlier they are not longer profitable...

Solution? Organize a table tennis tournament between colleagues. Mandatory participation.

Bunch of clowns

Project manager wants that we write a full app by only vibe coding and he is enforcing this...

Gotta say, this is one of the most unsatisfying projects so far...

Next week, my company decided to create a new app. But they are not sure about which features they all want. So far there is only consensus on a login screen.

They also expect us to learn a new framework/language over the weekend for no extra pay.

And they want the majority of the code to be vibe coded and we don't even have an idea what features we want...

This is going to be a disaster.

3 week ago, I made a post sharing that we got a new marketing guy and my colleague and I have a bet going on if he will last 6 months or not.

He is already fired.

One of our products we are supporting is selling so well. After 3 years, we are averaging 6 installs per month lmao

We have had a bad release a few weeks ago and my task is to propose a better flow. We just had a meeting and now I'm writing a document for it.

All I can think of them the big boss saying "looks excellent" and then default back to the old way in less than 3 weeks from now.
