Week : 90 (Year 1 )
How is the weekend going?
What's your "I can't believe other people don't know this" hack?

If you were a code antipattern, what would it be?
I'm definitely NIH -- "Not Invented Here".
I write everything from scratch. When I don't, more often than not, I don't install code deps -- I copy their code and modify it. I port it to my set of utils, my syntax preferences, optimize it, strip parts and modes I don't need, and at the end there's no clear line between what was my code and what wasn't. My code doesn't import, it absorbs.6 -
"Collect Call" by Metric is my favorite song. It takes me back to Android Ice Cream Sandwich times and invokes strong Mandela effect episode that makes me "remember" how I called someone using that fancy aluminum brutalist Chromebook and a native Hangouts app built with Material design v1, while being in a cafe in the evening.
Hangouts app never looked like I remember it looking. I've never seen that Chromebook. Yet, I remember it clear as day. -
I used to be polygamous and I've never really thought about the difficulties of monogamy, just skipped the whole thing
how do you remain monogamous hanging with vampires =-=
what counts as not being monogamous? if you betray your lover with the obsession for a skill, a career, a hobby that's fine... but what if it's for a cult of personality? WHERE IS THE LINE
did you know people have like, spiritual wives/husbands at work. to me that always seemed gross
so now I'm confused6 -
Omfg.. I couldn't understand what the doc jotted down on the recipe about using the prescribed drug. Took a pic, uploaded to chatgpt -- it transcribed dvery single word correctly.
Dear Lord....3 -
Job search isn't easy.
Not because there aren't any jobs, but because I am afraid of anything that seems remotely like my current toxic workplace.
Fack.6 -
business idea: smart re-usable condom for premature ejaculators that keep tracks of performance.
Hey darling I lasted three more seconds on average this week13 -
For those who says haldol should be banned...
When a schizophrenic/psychotic person experiences psychosis or oneiroid, with everything that is left from who they used to be, they pray for it to end. Yes, haldol causes depressive symptoms, but I bet it feels so sweet when oneiroid, e.g. the single most painful sensation one can experience, fades away. Depression is MUCH preferrable to psychosis.3 -
I was asked to work more in the backend. I came in as a frontender/ux’er. Had to do one small thing in mvc and now everyone is like whaaat, he likes that? Let’s make him the new ios developer. Yes!
*One of us! One of us! One of us!*
Meanwhile i’m going like, sure i like a challenge and i have a curious attitude but i had a tremendous amount of help from a coworker here?1 -
The difference between my CSS and your CSS is that you write z-index: 999999, and I write z-index: 2 to get the same effect.12

My twelve years old daughter saw me using an eletric mixer to puree potatoes, instead of the potato smasher.
She screamed: "You're using AI! That's cheating!"
When did "AI" replaced "Automation"?!?!
It's just like "woke", the word is meaningless now.11 -
I'm working w/ idiots.
Since a week ago, builds have started being bundled w/ this interesting folder called 'DeleteBeforeSubmission'.
Immediately mentioned the problem, but no action has been taken thus far. Sure, they might !care whether it is bundled or !. If whoever submits the builds for release manually removes those folders prior to submitting the game - fine.
Thing is... the shit is heavy. Depending on the platform, it's ~~500 MB up to some ~~2 GB on top of the actual size of the build. So, apart from our NAS storing garbage, people have to download unnecessarily larger files.
But hey - why do something about it. It's fine, right?
