A genuine request to everyone who loves devRant.Our very own @chaosesqueteam and his team of a bazillion bots is begging for our help. Please give him some deserving reviews for all the hardwork he has done here on his beloved project so more people are aware what kind of work he does.

I wrote a scientific paper of six and a half pages.

This man wrote 60 comments on it.

I admire the dedication. 😐

Fuck virtual reality environments and their inaccurate physics. 😑😑😑

Genuine question
You're given a server with the latest Ubuntu. You can't install any deps, and you can't use docker. Your goal is to write a REST API backend that can store/retrieve data persistently, ideally with a SQL-like language. Bonus points if you can figure out a reverse-proxy.
What would you do?
I'm obsessed with an idea of having some kind of codebase that doesn't include binary files and that I can just ssh over to a fresh server, and it would work instantly

Sick af
Eyes burning
App crashes right before demo
I did a 16 hour while sick exactly to make sure this wouldn't happen.

I'm at my absolute limit for anyone expecting anything from me. Also my phone is broken

I'M A MANNENPLAGUEN

Fun fact

A serious question: what kind of stack should I choose so I can run a web backend installing no deps whatsoever? I know that Perl works on ubuntu out of the box. Anything else? Maybe Python?
Also, what can be used to replace a reverse proxy like nginx? And what kind of database is available out of the box?

Ui is a big over complicated piece of shit. Most of it is common sense sure there is a bit of psychology involved, but it’s still mostly common sense

My boss is not happy that we are not overwhelmed 😂 this bastard!

Herding managers all day, I feel like a corporate cowboy.

Ewww… one just shat on my Balenciaga boots in spite - guess it’s time to cut its balls off.

Jimmy Bogard purely because he gets loads of hate on social media because of idiots abusing the free libraries he puts up on nuget, and blaming him because they’re dense. And has Nick Chapsas constantly flaming him.

Jimmy doesn’t give two fucks. Be like Jimmy.

Setting up some CSS animations and ended up with the value "infinite ease" and now I am having an existential crisis.

I'm sorry but as an adult, money can buy happiness.

In fact, money can buy A N Y T H I N G.

Damn DHL reminded me again of the level of service Australia Post is lacking... $50 delivery from P.R.C, promised to deliver in 5 days and delivers in 3 days. Australia Post would charge $45 to send the same parcel from Sydney to Melbourne, with no guaranteed delivery time-frame due to, hold your breath, COVID-19.

Constantly losing and getting the shitty end of the stick will turn you into a bitter hateful person.

Boss assigned code cleanup to me. We put up eslint and fixed a couple of issues, all nice and cute. Now, he wants me to find any redundant code and remove it (redundant fields in config objects). Sounds doable right?

WRONG!

Because we're writing fucking ExtJS. This abomination that is still called a "web framework" in lieu of its former glory supports no typescript, no code intel, no JSDoc, no nothing. Absolutely heinous and deplorable. Add insult to injury, our code on it is even worse. NO single component reused except from a couple REALLY fucking badly written ones, because every component queries for shit outside its jurisdiction so it's all a dependency spaghetti. Everything else is just copy-paste. Barely anything works as intended anymore in this bloody joke of an app.

I tell him in a meeting, I can prepare an automated solution. Some script or something that runs on a file watcher. All nice and dandy. A weekend and a Monday later, I get tired and do something else to clear up my mind. Show him some progress in that other thing. He's like:

Boss: that's good and all but did you remove *insert misused config that got everywhere during copy paste* like I told you to?

Me: I'm still working on it. I switched cause I got tired a bit with the automation.

Boss: automation?

Me: We were talking about in the meeting. *Explains again*

Boss: That's not what we agreed upon

Mfw I've been rambling uselessly on the meeting about it just for you to put me down and make me remove all that copy pasted GUNK from the melting hot garbage that is our codebase BY HAND? All the 150 occurrences of it? What do you think I am, a fucking robot?

today for the first time in last couple of months, i am fealing a bit happy. its not a happy-ish happy, ite that kind of happy when you are just so lost that you don't care to loose anymore. at that time, you just smile.

like, the world will keep on fucking itself, and you no longer care. you are just laughing at the world around you burning, and weirdly , you too are burning, but still you are smiling. that kind of happy.

on a seperate note, i think every company i switch , i end up landing in a worse one. i will probably keep switching until i reach a place that is so shit, that i might have to take management in order fix the shit.

Where the fuck did this day disappear?????? WTF?!?

Like fart in the wind. Pooft - and gone
