New to Linux.
What’s up with Snap? Why is it bad and what are the alternatives?

Fuck this, I just want to find a good company with an interesting product to work with for at least 5 years.

Colleagues forgot me at the scrum meeting.

Fuck yeah.

Switched jobs one month ago.

Used to work overtime on complex features, every engineer was 10x, learned a bunch, worked my ass of everyday. Switch due to overtime and because I wanted more personal time.

Anyways, at the new job I’ve completed two tickets in a month, code is shit, no one cares about the quality, scalability, etc. I’m payed 2x more and I currently work max 3 hours a day. Feels weird AF. I guess I got what I wanted, but didn’t know back then that professionally I’m going to degrade. Didn’t happen yet, but I can see that in the future.

🤷🏻‍♂️

AWS. Mostly, because of the documentation.

How do you deal with stress?

I’m always the youngest one out of every engineer in the company. I don’t know, it feels weird. I’m partially proud of myself, but I don’t know what to think of it. I look way older thanks to my genetic hemoglobin shortage aka anemia, so that helps. I never tell my real age to other colleagues, haha.

Anyways, don’t know what I wanted to tell with this random “rant”, but I guess that’s that.

If anyone relates to this, let’s talk.

GitHub Copilot - less developers, more engineers.

Before starting a job at company CUNT, we had an interview at which I told them I do not want to work on legacy monolithic codebases. We had a nice agreement and they offered me to work as a back-end with one of their projects. I was super excited to start. CUNT was very culty, always talks about how carrying for employees they are and always keep promises on their end of the table.

A week has passed, the codebase is superb legacy shit hole, no fucking standards, monolithic as fuck (BE and FE projects live in one project folder with tons of depreciated tools - there are no docs for them. That’s how old they are). They even have secret folder in their project with YOU GUESSED IT - secret keys.

Told CTO today, that I want to switch projects, because this was not the thing I signed up for and remember THEY ALWAYS CARE ABOUT THEIR EMPLOYEES AND PROMISES MADE. He basically told me, that project owners (other company) will not understand this culturally and I can either wait it out and possibly get my hands on a better project or fuck off right now.

Also, I was told, that my judgment was garbage worth and I should work longer with project “shit hole” to fully understand it.

Such a fucking salesman.

Anyways, I told that this situation is not culturally appropriate for me either as they gave me a sort of promise and I wont leave the company as I just switched jobs and cannot afford to do that again. I’ll hopefully get another position in another project soon.

WTF IS WORNG WITH PEOPLE

How can I get into environmental protection as software engineer? Coral reefs and 🌊 life in general holds my interest the most, but can be anything really.

I would really love to do something meaningful with my skills.

P.S. Not related to protection, but would be really cool to get into sea exploration software + robotics.

Windows 11

Some companies are structured and work as cults.

Went to company party several days ago and felt as if I was 🧠 🧼. The way they talk about the company, people, “mission”, social structure of employees etc. I literally felt as the only one who’s seeing through it.

Note to self: If I were to start my own company, I have to read a bunch of books about cults.

Anyone else worked at cult-like startups?

CTO hired mid-level full-stack developer for really complex product we’re building.

Here’s the funny part - he has 2 YEO building on top of freelance dev. code base’s on wordpress… Just fucking yesterday he told me, that Angular 10 framework is simillar to Jquery. Fucking dipshit, his code is so fucking bad it looks like italian sausage made out of spaghetti.

Not sure if I hate him more than ours truly cheapest CTO or him for being ridiculously incompetent and arrogant young asshole.

I’m in charge of him.
Help me.

Need advice for buying VR capable PC or laptop.

Basically, I want to start developing VR applications and run VR games through Virtual Desktop or Air link through Oculus Quest 2, which I will buy next month (no, I don’t have money to buy Valve Index and invest in new stationary computer), but I’m not really sure which setup I should buy. I really don’t want to spend more than 800 € for a computer. Can anyone share their experience and computer parts bought or recommended?

Thanks in advance! 😊

I love my girl and working at home, but she’s the one who fucks the rhythm up.

Does anyone work at IBM? I saw open Front end engineer position in my country and I was wondering what the interviewing process might be. Does it involve leetcode exercises (never done those and I’m afraid they might give those to me)?

Age old question among SWE:
Should I get a degree?

I studied Software Engineering two years ago, but had to cancel my studies due to financial inability and losing 50% of my body mass (yeah, I’ve struggled).

As for today, I have 2+ YEO as SWE. I was recently promoted to mid-level engineer and Front End lead. Software development was my passion since I was 16 (23 now).

Now, I have been saving up for studies in the Netherlands for the past year, but I’m not sure what to do. Financially I’m really well - I could pay for a new house near the seaside (one of my biggest dreams) or spend that money on studies and boost my ego with additional diploma.

Fallow the heart or ego? 🤷🏻

Would appreciate any advice.

Best exercises for lower back pain?
Also, standing desk - do they prevent it?

Today one of the more junior back-end devs told us, that he doesn’t plan to do front-end, because he doesn’t want to make design.

He basically told us that in his view FE devs do design work and that’s it.

What the f**? We have designers for that. Front-end devs are not the ones who make design. Reaaad uupp, boy

Alright...

Maintaining legacy angular.js codebase for online betting company. Yeah. 🙃

1 on 1 meetings.

That’s it. This is the Rant.

🎲 ...

I hate doing JavaScript full-stack projects for huge greedy dipshit companies, but I’ve gained a lot of engineering experience and now finally I have the skill to move to embedded, VR/ AR or a combination of both.

If anyone reading this is in the are of AR/ VR, please share any tips or stories. Would appreciate it a lot!

Spent half of the day redesigning proposed feature design. Somehow my Note skills are better than PowerPoint skills of someone with PHD in medicine.

Monday 🥂

[9:10]

CTO (works as a team lead): You here?
Me: Yes 👍
CTO: After doing X, Y and Z I broke X. That should not happen. You do understand, that this is not a good UX?
Me (asked CTO X amount of times to hire a a good designer, because I’m not): Well, we made the backend receive Y when X is triggered so B can be passed. I can tell the user to do Y in order to do Z.
CTO: NO, you will not. Do what I’ve said.

DUDE WTF? YOU FUCKING 🐎 I WILL BLOW YOU BRAINS WITH MY MORNING NAUSEA AND DIARRHOEA. FUCKING DIPSHIT ALLOWS HIS BAD MOOD AFFECT OTHER EMPLOYEES. HOW THE FUCK YOURE A CTO.

IM NOT GOING TO REWRITE THE CENTER PIECE OF OUR APPLICATION IN A DAY, WHICH TOOK US MONTHS TO MAKE. FUCK OFF

Monday, hurray 🥳

👏 Add polls to DevRant 👏

Any of you in VR/ AR development? Would love to transition to this area, but not sure were I should start. Thought about buying Oculus Quest 2, installing Unity or UE and start hacking around.

What was your path?
