government death by bureaucracy mirrors code death by security features
I just wanna do some basic automatic release and evidently I have to get around not one but two security features to do it. remember when everything was easy and fun and just like butter. pepperidge farm remembers
one of them was a hack. lol. so the security feature doesn't even work. they added a new feature which they didn't realize would allow someone to daisy chain the original functionality back in. sad1 -
What a fucking shit Qt is, is it one one the most boring fw to work with? in essence a Qt prog:
QtThis
QtThat
QtFuck
QtWidgetFucked
etc...
Boring, uninteresting, and most important you won't improve your skills, and to finish the Qt shit in its most primary representation is bloated.6 -
I've been the solo dev for this product for the last 10 months. I took this spaghetti of a codebase and made it stable on production.
4 months ago a front-end engineer with 10 years of experience joined. That guy can't even make responsive pages.
Guess who got promoted to engineering manager?1 -

How is the weekend going?

Therapist stuck fighting with her own website
I’m Peggy Bolcoa, LMFT, and I spend my days helping couples heal… but my website Peggy Bolcoa com keeps testing my patience.
I wanted it to be a clear, calm space for clients to find info and book sessions. Instead, I’m stuck fighting plugins that break, forms that randomly vanish, and design tweaks that look fine on desktop but explode on mobile.
It’s ironic: I can untangle years of relationship baggage in my office, but I can’t fix a stupid button alignment without breaking something else. Therapy = easy. WordPress = hell.
Why can’t building a website feel as therapeutic as the work itself?10 -
Boy I sure hope Rust / LLVM's devirtualization pass is as good as its infamy suggests!

Need your brutal, honest feedback on a personal project. for years I've been frustrated by the same thing: my GitHub shows my code, but my resume is a garbage fire of buzzwords that doesn't capture how I think. All the real, hard-won lessons from debugging hell or a failed project just... evaporate.
I got tired of it. So I spent the last 2 months building a solution for myself and for devs like us.
It's called insightdeed. It's not another social network. It's basically a personal, public changelog for your professional brain. A place to dump your insights, post-mortems, and the 'why' behind your work, so you can prove your expertise instead of just listing it."
It's still super early, and this is where I need your help. I'm trying to figure out how to share this with more developers without being a cringy marketing person. Direct ads feel wrong for something like this.
So, my question to you all is: If you saw a tool like this that you may though be useful, how would you want to hear about it? A quiet post on a specific subreddit? A mention in a newsletter? A blog post on Hashnode?
I'm not here to spam. I'm here to test and build something. Any advice would be hugely appreciated.7 -
know the depths of evil, or be nuts, pretend it doesn't exist, make a fool of yourself to cope with it existing until you will yourself to forget?3

I came up with a really intuitive way to create a coroutine in Rust by passing the sender of an mpsc queue to a callback, then merging the receiver of the same mpsc with the future returned by that callback, but I must've cocked up somewhere because I'm pretty sure it leaks memory.
MPSC ports don't own each other in either direction, that was my first guess too.4 -
my local copy of legacy monolith no longer builds and runs correctly as it now gives a false positive
i dont recall changing anything
i don't know docker
i can see docker images/containers are not being stood up correctly
i pray for euthanasia or help, preferably euthanasia6 -
One of the testers created a report a few days ago that the 'virtual cursor' is !working... The _'virtual cursor'_...

Made coffee to stay awake for work…
