Remember, the future belongs to those who can work with AI, not against it.

trying to fix a bug without idiot proof steps to reproduce so i can reproduce it

fml

fuck mobile

can society, friends, jobs stop shaming me for having purpose on my life

it's so strange

🚀 Vibe coding be like:
👉 First 30 mins: "I don’t fully get what’s happening here…" 🤔
👉 Next hour: magically works 💻✨
👉 Then: you try one tiny change → AI confused → you confused → now you are reverse engineering your own code 😅
But for real… AI is doing A LOT right now. The tricky part is knowing where to draw the line, discipline is the only guardrail. Sometimes you don’t even notice when you’ve crossed it.

Yay devrant works again

Therapists are too bloody expensive. I can get just as good insight on my psyche by using the goddamm Instagrams and letting the algorithm pick up on my personality.
Fuck, I'm drunk. Nine hours of meetings will get a bloke to see the bottom of a bottle or six.

something I wrote in JavaScript built on top of the exact same API as has been reproduced in rust by a library now

rewrote it in rust but 1/5th the features cuz lazy

has three times the bugs as the original version... like... before my bug fixing

is it rust. is rust the problem

Did something happened to skyRant?

A weird toast notification appeared, and now nothing loads and the message no network appears (I do have network, in case you were wondering).

I've talked about the privileges of being a dev, before. The following is not a rant btw, just me appreciating my line of work.

Back in 2018, when I was 2 YOE as a Laravel developer, this thought crossed my mind, what if I remained a Laravel dev all my career and never got a job in another tech stack?

I thought I could make some demo projects but no one would pay me for that. And on top of that, I'd have to start from scratch since that Laravel experience wouldnt count for, let's say C# dev job.

Is this the "comfort zone" most devs get trapped in? And what if I get trapped in it as well?

It was my legit concern back then.

But whatever happened after that, happened and here we are.

I am now a React + PostgreSQL dev, and because of my freelancing, I'm getting pushed into becoming a Vue JS + C# full stack dev, all the while I'm getting paid for it. My research times are also billable.

I just find myself in a privileged position where my career and skills will now never be stagnant, and as a result of that, I get to earn my bread and butter.

I just love being a dev sometimes :)

My scripts are made to be stupid-proof. Turns out I should have written them extra-stupid-proof.

when will my brain become one with rust already

sigh

How did devRant find it's initial users, in other words, solve the network cold-start problem?

For my startup, my concern is that users join only when other users / content creators / friends are on a platform, and content creators join platforms that have users... Any tips on solving this?

Been looking into my health issues. Seems I might have liver toxicity or some shit caused by a medication I take. Was looking at what liver toxicity would appear as in symptoms. I think I have a few of those. So I will be getting with my doctor about this. On one page it said acetaminophen could cause liver toxicity as well. I don't take that, but the: "When to see a doctor" had interesting criteria:

- Loss of appetite.
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Pain in the upper stomach area.
- Coma.

The first 3 seem reasonable, but the "Coma" symptom is sketchy AF. Like who is going to see their doctor about a coma? lol /s (in case it isn't obvious, for the autists)

Correction: oligarchy, not "democracy".

Unless you mean it in the classical sense of the word, where "people" is not as broad a term, given how **citinzenship** was an exclusive status in the ancient city-states that developed these concepts.

However, even in that case -- which I find highly unlikely -- I'd argue that oligarchy is equivalently if not moreso applicable as an accurate description of said form of government.

Every few years, you (probably) go and vote _not_ for whomever better represents your interests, but rather for whomever seems to be the lesser evil: the 'best of the worst', if you will, out of a series of horrible candidates you absolutely do not trust.

That is undemocratic; no semblance of power is vested in us, much less "supreme power", and we cannot speak of anything even remotely alike to popular sovereignty within this context. By which I mean, we have overlords rather than "representatives".

And this, altogether, does beg the question: why do we parrot these terms as if they were ever a faithful description of anything? Have we no capacity for language, perhaps?

Appropriately enough, it's bollocks all the way down.

I hate vscode so much and I miss atom

I hate all these features that creep in all the time and I have to do goddamned management to turn them off. this shouldn't be my job. stop cluttering my IDE

!rant && coolThing

Today, I fully parallelized my evolution algorithm.

That means that since Thursday of last week, even though I took yesterday off, I was able to learn about metaheuristics, implement three of them (one being my own awful invention that did not perform) and successfully parallelize them.

Feeling good, man.

thinking on it in retrospect, all the doctors I've met don't know why people get worse or better in the various conditions they've tried to diagnose me with now (lol, talk about confirmation bias and "hypochondriac" insult they kept giving me)

but they'll sure arrogantly tell you how diet has no medical basis for curing their conditions and other insane garbage

they don't know why people get worse or better, but they'll tell you judgmentally that you should just do what they say... even though they don't know why people get worse or better

they'll make fun of things people try... even though they don't know why people get worse or better. which is wild. if you don't know why don't you admit you don't know, fully? you'll admit it when I ask you questions about your knowledge base. but you don't admit it when it's outside your knowledge base? suddenly you're all knowing and there's no hope there? but you don't know why your own patients are getting worse or better

if they're getting worse and better it means something outside of your strategies are effecting their outcomes. but you will dismiss all strategies outside your own

and have a PhD somehow. like not just medical doctors by this point I've seen. they've got PhD in the medical field and a specialty they contributed to. but they don't know why people get worse or better. but you shouldn't do PhD level research -- it doesn't work, even though we mention nothing about what makes people worse and we don't believe in making people better

Why cellphone is like a Tamagotchi nowadays?
*BlimBlom* please notice me!

At one random time a lady voice said in my pocket: "GPS signal lost."
What is going on, my dear Tamagotchi?

I don't know why I keep using Postman. Maybe I'm a masochist or something.
