Is refactor as part of a ticket a good idea. Like mixing refactoring and features all the time because we can’t find time for tech debt otherwise?

now YouTube is giving me one of those disclaimer notes under a computerphile video saying "dead Internet theory" is a conspiracy theory...

what. how does that even make sense. so I guess we have to pretend there are no bots on the internet or something now

I don't understand some devs. Sometimes there are senior devs that instead of documenting requirements on paper, they decide to call you and tell you all the complex requirements for half an hour and expect you to just get up and develop what they just said.

Wtf is wrong with some people. Better: Jira, documentation, e-mail, communication.

considering the amount of bugs introduced with each release of gnome de, by now i'm sure people who use gnome do nothing with their machines and using linux for them is just a gimmick.
they boot up the os and just look at the desktop and say: wow, what great desktop, gnome is sure the best.
same people are very vocal when you point out a bug or an issue in the github/lab pages. responding to you with "i never had that problem in my entire life not even once, ever."
assholes making software and idiots using it in their world of butterflies and rainbows. then here i am trying to open most basic apps without crashing.

started to work on this cool project, cool client, all fullstack developers on it, only me is just FE on the project (I am also architect, devops, backend, db admin, even designer sometimes etc. on other projects, but they wanted someone who will focus on FE and now i see why, to shovel the shit fullstacks made).

we have issues so i take a look and find ton of cases where people were just reinventing the wheel, like calculating image sizes and place them in the middle without bleeds on any side, absolutely positioned and then centered etc.

so i deleted this 500-ish lines of utility functions and just used object-fit:cover and object-position: center instead. I mean WT actual F!

so dear fullstack developers, if you don't want to learn the CSS then you are just backend developers who knows jack shit on the frontend. F you very much!!!

also F you for reinventing the wheel with this JS monster instead using 2 CSS declarations instead!

Pretty annoying when a programming language's constructs do things that are unintuitive, for example, Java substring:

str.substring(startIndex, endIndex); // oops, character at endIndex not included.

Or some other Python data science Google library (I used this at work) that decided their way is the best way, where they have a simple method but in the facade behind it is a nightmare monstrosity of complexity. How fun to debug or customize that!

Weird design decisions. They don't help because it makes them harder to immediately understand them.

Interview:

Round one.. fight.

Me: "I want to work with modern technology"
Them: "Have you worked with modern technology before?"
Me: "No"
Them: "No job for you"

Right, so to get a job in modern tech you already have to have worked in it. Sigh.

Toastie!

Slim Application Error

Using devrant . com for the first time and I get this error on pretty much every page I visit, is this app still maintained?

Slim Application Error

A website error has occurred. Sorry for the temporary inconvenience.

I really hate truth tables. It feels like I'm cracking a safe like in the movie Army of Thieves, especially when I am given a complex Test Suite. lol. It's like I have to make all levers work in unison and none can fail.. kind of like The Semiconductor ASML machine. Not that bad, but still.

Me in the midst of a market full of more experienced developers:

I'm just a kiiid and my life is a nightmare!
I'm just a kiiid and I know that it's not fair!

Steam scammers are so boring now. Everytime you start fucking with them even just a little bit they immediately ghost you. Boring fucking losers 😒
