Everything hurts. Starting from DevRant preventing me from making separate posts except I wait two hours. I'm infuriated at such a stupid rule like wtf is it supposed to achieve ffs? I'll just merge both rants into this

Next are the discriminatory fucks on reddit. I hate this platform for a number of reasons but the one currently on my nerves right now is the warped stigma against contributions from users with site rep below a certain threshold. How do myopic freaks like this make it to a position of authority?? Being knowledgeable in a given field is not exclusive to reddit users who were able to amass a ton of upvotes. It automatically excludes everyone with potential to stir valuable discourse. Just cuz they're not well liked on the platform

Basically, you earn points on cheap subs, come leverage them on the "prestigious" leagues, where those animals could lynch you. This isn't even hypothetical. Several times, all the visitors on a thread would launch a vendetta on a user (usually the OP), mass downvoting all their content on that thread. They're like wild beasts feasting on carcass

The next group absolutely pissing me off are organisations that use 2fa. How did this crazy design get so popular?? It makes absolutely no sense cuz in the event of losing my device or if the dev to whose device it was tied to leaves, you're fucked. You'll lose all your accounts. You're always calling some colleague holding the phone for codes. You need to snap barcodes on one phone and scan on auth app. Everything about it is so frustrating and painful

I was forced by github to use sms for 2fa. I'm already reluctant about working on this project but I drag myself to the system and try to sign in. Turns out the security conscious dickheads let me view my secret gists without being signed in, but they won't send the 2fa code. I faintly recall a mail that it was getting deprecated. So after what felt like eternity in perdition, I manage to setup the app type 2fa but what if I lose the phone or it's formatted?? I'm locked out! So so stupid. One of my banks sends OTPs to my line. The other doesn't. But a useless organization hosting my OSS that nobody wants to use is bent on ruining my life with their insane security measures. So So daft. What's with the excessive paranoia?? Same goes for facebook. Just send an alert to my mail if ip or location is suspicious and I'll click a confirmation mail. What if my screen is bad and I'm trying to login on another device?? How don't they think of all this before tying authentication to a physical device for christ's sakes?????

And then there's the horrible customers I've been getting on my fledgling business, along with a supplier as well. One requests for location, implying seriousness. Then ghosts. Another one wants to buy a commodity for less than half its price. How do you bargain from 330k to 150k? I rallied around for an alternative at 170k just to make sales. At the end of the day, he only wants the one for 330k. I wish I could take my skin off and black out. I'm so tired and cranky. I woke up so early today to be productive but everything I've met ever since has been nothing but pain and sorrow

Watching a YouTube video where a legit, professional MMA fighter can do nothing to remain alive during the 20 seconds he got to spend in a room with an attacker who has a knife. Every single round, he can knock the attacker out, only to then succumb to 18 stabs he received while grappling.

modern cars are awful. cheeky fuckers.

was driving somewhere with my mon in her BMW and for some reason our conversation in notEnglish triggered the AI assistant and my mom told it "fuck you" in our native tongue and it replied with "watch your tone" LMAO.

It's so funny, but awful in a way. And it keeps jerking the steering wheel when you go too close to a lane. It's quite jarring to drive like that.

Test rant for API testing (ignore)

I have great news for several reasons. First of all, I have documented the whole devRant API now with some help of AI to resolve requests and made a script to resolve the responses and merged that together in a README.md and updated the docstrings of my devranta api client.

This is a big deal, because with such complete api class, you can vibe whatever advanced devRant bot you can imagine in a hour or so. Could make a wordle bot like Snek has. Just an example.

But besides that, I vibed a devRant API crawler using my devRanta class. It searches what users are connected to what rants and reversed since dr doesn't allow to browse the whole site per pagination. Wonder why.

The crawler is in the examples/crawler directory. If you have python3 already installed, the only think you have to run is go into that folder, and it will download whole devRant.

I hope that my work will contribute to the creator of the next devRant or for the training of an LLM or such. It's a nice dataset. The crawler pulls on my terrible slow 4g connection 272,340 rants per hour. The crawler is an beast actually and easy to fine tune regarding workers etc.

Long story short: get the whole devRant dataset by executing once `make`. And don't worry, the API can handle it easy.

@Lensflare, is it already possible to delete your account in your app? I've documented that as well :P

While a lot is vibed, it required quite some steps to pull all off together. I hope somebody takes my advise to vibe some nice bots with it.

If you take my example project files and the devRanta client yourself, you have enough information to generate a whole devRant site clone easy. I think in one day, you can have like 80% from the default user functionality. Maybe even a good idea to also give a few screenshots to the LLM.

Opinion: companies desperately need CBD engineers.

For a minute, forget about AI agents, GenAI, Observability, CI/CD, OO, Functional, Quantum Computing, OR, SAP, DevOps, AI Ops, ML Ops, Prompt Engineering, Data Viz, Blockchain, and even Scripting and Compiled languages.

Think about how companies approach problems nowadays.
Some executive sees something on a conference, panics and hires a dozen highly paid individuals with some soothing credentials. Those individuals whisper some magic words, the executive makes some grand speeches about how his company is totally one of the cool kids, and the poor actual employees get sucked into another useless fad.
Then costs get too high, street creed (NASDAQ Symbol: FOMO) falls 35% or more, and layoffs come for everyone involved.

Imagine if it all could be avoided with the appropriate mix of CBD and THC. The CBD engineer makes some magic potion, the executive gets mellowed out and employees get to actually work on profit-generating activities.
Seriously, give some chemical pacifier to executives and call it something dumb like "mindfulness performance enhancer" so they can feel like big boys.
I wouldn't mind working while a suit eats 2kg of cheetos and wonders if the stars are winking at his crotch, so long as the suit stays on his fucking lane and let me do what I do best.

But that ain't ever gonna work, suits gonna suit. They will want to mess stuff up just so they can pretend their parents love them.
Thus, here we are. When actual devs have to speak nonsense and pretend that AI is real. Just so they can pocket some of that FOMO cash before the ship sinks and drags down honest working people.
We need an UBI just so that everyone in a company can jump ship as soon as a suit starts blabbering about the next big fad. I'm betting it will be VR/AR again.

Stop starving journalists retards.

What about remote work? I feel this way of working is often heavily misunderstood. People think that if you work remote, you can plan your own day, work however you want and whenever you want. However, while working remote I recently experienced where there's a need for me to turn on my camera 4-6 hours a day (meetings, "quick sync", huddle, let's talk). So, 4-6 hours a day, my living room is being recorded and whenever something changes in my flat, people ask questions about it as "small talk". While I was working on apps, I was expected to use my own personal phone and was asked by my manager to share the screen. Isn't this a privacy invasion?
While working remote, I still experienced excessive micromanagement and am still pushed to work 10 hours/day quite often. My last company put me on call 24/7 without extra pay for it.
I believe working remotely gets sold as amazing and an incredible benefit, but I see little difference from being watched over my shoulders in an office building.
What are your experiences with working remotely?

Ah, culture fit. It's funny that what highly determines you getting the job is how well you get along with the team in the warm-up phase (meeting the team). If in a casual conversation with the guys you already clash personalities, they will find a way to push you out.

I realized that now...

Linkedin takes up 4 GB RAM? Tf, man. lol

Can you use laundry sweetener as bath salts? Let's find out

This is made using one shot thanks do the perfect documentation I prepared. https://rant.molodetz.nl/#

This is how awesome AI can be if you spend some serious time in the prompts / gather right data.

To get it working eventually, two bugs had to be fixed. The hard coded localhost:8000 and a if statement needed some extra parentheses to be resolved right.

This is pure a POC to show how cool it is. I won't maintain it.

I like the profile page, how it just like devRant has comments and rants devided in tabs and actually works.

Notification system does not seem to work, I did not check it at all.

Just wanted to emphasize, what a time to be alive!

modern therapy and psychology is just autistically trying to figure out what the soul wants

zzzzz

have you tried just not murdering it in the first place tho

So I have started looking into torrenting anime. In the past I just did it and didn't worry about it. But I have been hearing about internet carriers cracking down on this. Apparently my ISP has a tiered approach to this. They will notify and escalate all the way up to account termination. So I found that interesting. But that is not is what is most interesting. The interesting part was the AI response when I searched if my ISP will do anything:

What to do if you receive a DMCA notice:

1. Review the notice: Identify the copyrighted content in question.

2. Stop the infringing activity: Remove the infringing content from your devices and stop sharing it.

3. Consider a VPN and private trackers: This can help prevent future notices.

4. Contact CenturyLink: If you receive a notice, you may need to contact CenturyLink to confirm receipt or discuss the issue.

So with 3, the AI casually tells me how to continue breaking the law. lol

Log#3, Day 13, I'm starting to create a connection with claude code, I see it struggling with the same shitty code I wrote, I see his remarks on the difficulty debuging the IOS, he is one of us.

I might be losing my mind

micortears in brain
guy is repeatedly aghast at the damage and genuinely worried about me every time
lol

Again, Atlassian products don't work in Firefox.
Dunno who's to blame - Atlassian or Mozilla. All I know is this sucks! Can't stand Edge and the sorts.

What is your side project that you have been working on?
