A colleague used AI to transcript our latest sprint retrospective and now they have in writing the very long list of insults I addressed towards the management. I'm cooked11

What is the percentage of people in your team that are doing nothing but still giving their opinion and still manage to sloe things down? Personally, 40%.1

Embedded is so fun...
You get to use Code Composer from TI...
How do you add "system" variables and not break your project when someone else downloads it from the repo?
Edit the .cproject file.
TI: Please don't edit the .cproject file, but do it to fix this garbage shit mess.1 -

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHH7 -
So 20 years ago people were laughing about the reviews on Amazon for sugarless gummy bears. I decided to check to see if anything in that regard has changed. I selected two brands to look at reviews. Both brands in the first few reviews had a great amount of entertaining reviews. I was reminded once again of how despite people having issues with them for over 20 years that they continue to sell.
This just reminds me of why products that are seemingly broken still have a market. Its not just our industry. Its all industries. -
You know
It's the same problem at first all the time how the fuck do you charge 130 dollars a night for a hotel room and serve a fucking continental breakfast ?3 -

It's a public holiday (I follow company's country's public holidays).
Wake up. Feeling good.
See message wishing me that I don't wake up - lol.
Msg peeps hello, and go help mom she's in a rush.
Qt says hello.
Help mom go to work (garage door is manual).
Wish qt good luck with stuff today - no reply, guess I just missed her
Go back to sleep
(buddy using img-gen #awesome)
(client messages for standup)
Wake up again, Life's still good™️
Reply back, it's a public holiday but if they want other/extra days just let me know - all good.
Make brunch - bread has just gone bad, whatever got another. Ends up being heavier than expected.
Watch an episode of a show while eating, bit of a zzzz.
Jam some guitar, do decently but not quite getting it right - but it's fun so it's all right
Qt updates about day - sounds like fun
Check in with friend, seems to be doing ok, he's been dealing with a bunch of things atm.
Create fun project for a sudoku solver, set up the initial part, realise that the parsing is a bunch of boilerplate (decided to map each section to a variable with bit packing), realise it's easier to work with arrays instead.
Decide to nap
It gets too warm to stay in bed, doens't matter, feel physically even better (aka bags under eyes are much less)
Qt back online, shares cool pic of castle
Realise I can get best of both worlds using pointers... This is getting stupid, whatever.
Getting warm, qt sends pic of temp by her.
Oh, right, ice cream. Open it, clearly melted and refrozen slightly - it's ice cream doesn't matter.
Chat a bit with qt
Bot battle spams img-gen
img-gen randomly gets stuck because watching YT vid
Chat a bit with peeps
Order food for mom and I - because why not. Hmmm a bit pricey.
Chat a bit more with peeps till mom is home.
Go chat with mom food should be here soon...
App says food is on it's way, great I'm like 2 minutes away.
20 minutes later, (1 hour after ordering) call up, "um yeah, that will still take a while"
Friends messages, he's been made redundant after CEO explodes and fires managers
Mom getting annoyed, if she had had to work she'd have been in bed already.
Now 2 hours after ordering food, call up again. "Yeah it ready we're sending it over now" - great hang up.
Get food, it's good. They included an extra beer - they offered, and I picked, spring rolls, but whatever.
Finish the first beer, look at the bottle, it's grody - at least the neck is clean, same with the other bottle.
Chat with peeps
Realise that it's not as good as the one I remember. That's export vs local version, I guess.
Chat with qt
Realise it's late and didn't really touch projects I wanted to #ItHappens
Starting to get tired again
Me still happy. Glad I woke up chipper. Let the happy flow
Also, my PC randomly started having lag spikes today - should probably just reboot #WindowsProblems
Not really a rant, since I'm just kinda shrugging it off, but I know if I didn't wake up in such a good mood I would have been pretty annoyed. Perspective is everything or some other philosophical shenanigans, you guys tell me the right term/saying7 -
great
now I have a new conspiracy theory
we're all martians just trying to recreate our civilization back on Mars
and the lizards which were bred into the original humans on earth are trying to sabotage us
before their planet comes back from its 26 million year orbital cycle
so they distract us with green energy because it's inefficient. with politics and squabbles. so that we don't advance technologically enough to rebuild the civilization we had on mars
so then when their planet comes back around they can do whatever they want with us36 -
Just got WHIPLASH from seeing a racist ad in my local gym.
Racist is a bit dramatic, but at the VERY least, it's tone-deaf as fuck and from MY perspective (Where I missed the first 10 seconds of the ad) it was definitely racist feeling. Even with the context, I think it's pretty strange.
Anyways, this grocery chain is running this advertisement campaign about their yellow tags. I guess yellow tags in their store are supposed to be good! So they depict a bunch of yellow things and put text on screen saying that "yellow is (positive attribute etc etc)"
You might already see where this is going?
Basically, they had one scene with bold yellow text "YELLOW IS HAPPY" and the background of yellow tulips. Again, I joined the chat while the ad was already going so I barely had time to read all the text before the scene changed.
The next scene that they chose to depict yellow things?
Oh, just a child in yellow overalls holding a yellow ice pop. Oh, and the child was Asian...
SERIOUSLY how tone deaf could you POSSIBLY BE. DON'T PUT ASAINS IN YOUR COMMERCIAL ALL ABOUT YELLOW THINGS!!!!!!!!!!!
It was especially jarring since I lacked almost all context. I thought it was some shitty comedy sketch for a moment.

At $work, I just learned that a daemon on prod makes an SFTP connection to the same domain every 0.5 to 10 seconds, all day long, every single day. That’s a minimum of 8,640 connections per day!
The senior developer responsible for it had the dev skills of a junior and the management skills of a puppet, but she’s a “disadvantaged minority” and is great at stealing credit and throwing people under the bus. Naturally, she has been given multiple promotions and a team to lead… which she fills exclusively with other Indians, all of them at her skill level or below. (I used to do their code reviews and security reviews.)
When I asked one of the fintech managers (a former dev) about the crazy number of SFTP connections, he said “[Her team] did that intentionally, as it didn’t used to be that way. They must have had a reason” and cut me off.
Okay then.
Not my garden, not my fertilizer.
Just another day weeding the fields in hell.9 -
Stickman Hook is a perfect example of “easy to learn, hard to master. At first, you’re just happy to finish a level, but soon you start trying to complete them in the fewest swings possible, chasing that perfect run.

I'm doing a new strike technique called sneaky strike.
I'm not doing shit. Not even telling my boss I'm on strike.
Nobody tells him.

Next week, my company decided to create a new app. But they are not sure about which features they all want. So far there is only consensus on a login screen.
They also expect us to learn a new framework/language over the weekend for no extra pay.
And they want the majority of the code to be vibe coded and we don't even have an idea what features we want...
This is going to be a disaster.6
