If ChatGPT calls my problem a "classic" or it's solution a "subtle quirk of <framework>" one more fuckin time I'm gonna be the first human to murder an AI

Imagine a workplace. A workplace that is planning a local event for tomorrow with deals and a free discount code for those who arrive.
Only thing is: everything is chaos, no one is taking responsibility for the event, no one communicates about changes or how the event is going to be.

Now you get a call off duty. You have to check a discount code that wasn't working. You were to set it up for the event. But apparently they decided to open the doors for the event TODAY. You get a call 5 minutes after the first. "Is it done yet?" NO. Because you have to FIX CODE and deploy changes because they don't have any staging environment, no proper testing environment and (best of all) development mostly connected directly to the production database.

This! This is my job.
I am so fucking mad.

I need courses on how to grow my spine even more and demand what should be fucking law at this point.
Or maybe just leave. I'm the only dev.. 😎

Woah! Has DevRant been removed from the play store?

The year is 2050. There's only three jobs left:

Drugz deala.
Chaturbate model.
LLM dresser.

Which one are you?

> Cynics and pessimists are a quite similar breed, however. Some animals, when cornered, fight to the death. Other animals roll over, resigned to their fate. The cynic, early in life, does not get the answers he wishes. The pessimist, too, realizes that the life he wants will not be handed to him. Both find themselves too weak or too cowardly to press on, despite these initial setbacks, and they then play the next logical role: that of the perpetual naysayer. This way nothing can hurt them. They know nothing, so their knowledge is safe and secure from refutation. They want nothing, therefore their desire is never thwarted. They hate nothing, and therefore can never be attacked and overpowered by an enemy. They love nothing, and are thus never in fear of losing their beloved, losing hope. So afraid of life, they cease living, and derive their power from the blanket criticism of all things – and yet they do not die, do they? They continue to eat and breathe, a hero and sage in their own minds. They are like a child who quits a game of checkers after losing the first two pieces. The only reason I write of them here and now is because I have this tendency in myself and am sympathetic to it, though I have no patience for it. There is room for these people in life, perhaps, but not in magic. Cynics never question their cynicism and pessimists never sour of their ennui. They are best left to their mud pond – at least when they look in the muddy pool, the reflection is somewhat undistorted. You need not worry about these things, however. You have a sky to see – blue changing into black.

here again, @retoor
I had some time to rebuild our friend, Adrit - https://adrit.dorbai.com

still playing around with some features like data analysis...I somehow can't slide >4mb files past vercel

First name: Null
Last name: Null
Birthday: 1/1/1970
Email: one time email/ temp mail
Password: the email itself

This is how I register myself everywhere, usually works everywhere except for X (twitter).

Well it finally happened… I deleted the production DB 🤦🏼‍♂️

Rollback successful but lost over 3 hours of production data

Finally got paid (apparently they sent my money to the wrong account lmao).

So I bought:

- A Guitar Rig Kontrol 3. It's an old hardware designed for some specific soft, but it contains a soundcard, 8 foot switches, one expression pedals (continuus), 2 other expression pedals input, 2 audio input, 2 audio output. So I'll be able to plug my guitar and control FX from there. All of this for 50 euros at the pawn shop

Being a programmer helped me tremendously for electronic music because I can write actual drivers for old hardware.

- I also found an old bike on the street. Brakes and transmission, seat and tyres are fucked, but the frame and wheels seems healthy enough. I can get a decent bike for the price of parts and labour.

I sometimes wonder, "am I a dog"?

Like, people are like dogs, or wolves,

there is always a hierarchy. If there is none, we create it...

there is one at work, at home...

If a recently joined juniour dev wants to act bigger than the senior, how would you feel?

I might have done that when I joined the company, tried to be the bigger guy than my mentor who already worked there for 9 years. I made a mistake, I thought he wasn't meant to lead because of his skills, and slacking and his kindness.

Now, there is a new guy who joined our team, he is 6-7 years older, so although I worked longer on the project, I will be his juniour to erase any hierarchy problems.

man humans are difficult.

In the US, you can go to a gas station and buy a "Pink Pussycat" pill that claims to be a sexual pleasure enhancement pill for women. In reality, it's basically poison.

I have repurposed the Blockchain technology to something meaningful and fair. Therefore it will be a flop 😅 I'm open sourcing soon, just have some final tweaks to make

I would like to apologize for everything I've said to all devRanters.

- Alexander, Kanye, SidThePajeet, etc

99% of the population dies. streets are empty, peaceful, calm. Life is good.

I am so confused about what I'm doing in the near future. I want to get out of this hellhole but there's a slight chance I could finish my PhD with someone, who's actually not a bad dude.(My current supervisor is... not helpful) But I will have to stay here and work very hard and not get paid, but PhD is over in less than a year. I'm fucked with system implementation tho, since I'll be changing directions and have to start fresh.
I could also get a job and move away, and be paid a decent wage. But then there's no telling when I'm gonna finish the PhD.

Which would you choose if you were me? Which one should I pursue?

I hate rollover video previews!!! Looking at you TouTube!!!! If I want a preview of the video, make it a button or something. The thumbnail disappearing and network activity lag every single time my mouse happens to barely caress an item in the video feed is SUPER FUCKING ANNOYING!

Especially on mobile!!!

What‘s the purpose of separating your code into "independent" modules if each module contains everything anyways?

So I finally received a job offer...it's a much better salary BUT...small company, coporate office is currently a rented out home till the new location is ready, less than 50 people total, not sure how to feel about it to be honest, the offer is quite attractive though, might just take the plunge and hope we don't sink to the bottom.
