If you use space as indentation I hate you and I want to remove your nails one by one and then dip it in salt.
And then rape the salt.4 -
Oh the irony. I gotta ask a JS question here...
How come I can't do this?
<button type="button" id="idGetData1" onclick="{async()=>{ await get_data();}}">getDataFromWebserver</button>
But I have to do this?
document.getElementById("idGetData1").onclick=async() => {
await get_data();
};
Why the extra steps and need to run in onload?
Playing around with fetch instead of XMLHttpRequest for testing an embedded board.13 -
Who needs BDSM when we have comms channels' outages in the middle of a PROD release.
Then again, who in his right mind uses Telegram for company comms....3 -
Another unfriendly chat bot on a paid landingpage supposed to acquire new customers in 2025:
Chatbot: Do you require support with existing products or are you looking to renew/purchase services?
User: do you offer vserver plans
Chatbot: Sorry. To best assist you, please select one of the options below.
User: thats not the way to acquire new customers
Chatbot: Sorry. To best assist you, please select one of the options below.1 -
Text is lovely to skim but so limiting when you're trying to connect 🫂

an AI programmer telling you coding with AI makes you a x10 engineer is like someone telling you autocomplete makes them a x10 novelist3

So my wife picked up some gyro meat (double entendre?). Anyway, she forgot feta and pitas. So we substituted parmesan and tortillas. I said we are eating Grexican tonight. Not sure if parmesan is Italian or not. So maybe we are eating Grexican🤌 tonight.
My daughter had her gyro, but the tortilla had ripped a bit. She said she had the ripped burrito. I said the burrito must have been working out, because it was ripped.
It is kind of sad though. We had a really good gyro place in town. But the owner died and so did the business. There are no other gyro places. Not all gyro heros wear capes. RIP3 -
best practice in java is to mark classes as final (effective java book)
final classes cannot be mocked by Mockito
if only I was good at programming and writing higher level integration or acceptance tests to circumvent this2 -
ok actually I just had an epiphany
vibe coding (which is telling an AI to do something instead of touching the code yourself) would be helpful on phones
so kind of like Tony Stark talking to Jarvis
instead of trying to find symbols on a phone
but if you have a laptop actually touching the code would still be superior
with a phone you could say what you want and just double check if it's right on the screen
soooo bathroom coding or when you're on the run middle of the street coding. hell... relaxing bath coding (I listen to podcasts in there by ziplocking my phone)
do you think people were far less workaholic before modern era. probably very relaxed time1 -
I've joined a team recently. its been about 4 months now. the damn testing framework changed more than 4 times now. and the environments to test, the necessary config changed a lot of number of times that is so fucking hard to keep up. If I ask a question, manager keeps saying that I should be knowing things by now (which I've never worked on). god damn, then atleast keep somethings fixed, or atleast write it up what got changed, and why it got changed. no one discusses shit, and assumes everyone should be knowing stuff without any communication.1

Took a chance at telling my bosses how burned out I am and had a really great discussion with them.
Turns out they want me to lead the front end team, because I'm good at it and can make them do higher quality work. Agreed with me that there's something wrong with the code if you have to use a different IDE lmao.
And I can use my 30+ days of sick leave (which I've never used because I don't get sick) to take time off when I need to. Burn out is a disease.
Not all bosses are shitty.6 -
Managers decided that the support contract with one of our most important third party servers is not worth the money.
Take a guess which server caused an outage for all customers twice already :D2 -
Is there a server-oriented Linux system that is more secure than Ubuntu Pro? With its 24-hour unattended vulnerability patches, I doubt anything free beats it. Btw it’s free for personal use6
