I CALLED IT!!!
A few months ago I said that AR/VR would be (again) the next stupid hype after the GenAI bubble finally burst.
Now the facebook kid says that whoever doesnt buy his sparkly glasses is an uncool square.
Nailed it! Beware, people, the stupid crappy-lphone-in-your-glasses will be the next "disruptive innovation" that hypephiliac managers will preach as the new-new-gospel.
Maybe its the facebook kid's way of trying to revive his "metaverse" craptastic debacle?

Finally, did a closed-beta launch for my startup...

Jerry is gone, Ben arrested this year, new name : Trump Golden Cookies

I've been doing c++ for 20 years, each time I touch boost::beast trying to do basic http/websocket stuff I absolutely hate. It's garbage. Absolute shit.

I'm sorry for being old-fashioned, but I sign up to social media sites to be able to talk/connect to humans.

Fill up your site with bot interactions and everyone needing @grok to verify everything, going so far as to tell them result of 2+2, and I'm out.

Symfony sucks!
The documentation, the community, the configuration, the routes, the migration, and installing a component for every fucking small thing suck! specially if you want to build a crud app.

The FCA is the financial services regulator in the UK.

Their website (handbook.fca.org.uk) makes use of an API with the hostname public-prod-api.azurewebsites.net and the certificate has no organisation information.

Also the JS has at least one "debugger" statement in it.

What is wrong with people?

If we set up our website like that, can we keep all of our regulatory permissions, or might some questions be asked about our horsemanship and pistol-shooting skills?

The New manager was in her first sev1 bridge with a vendor on the line. Vendor bug caused the issue.

While we were trying to remediate the issue she kept yelling at the vendor and giving opinions on their code quality. She was being a disrespectful bitch and actually slowed down remediation.

Yes they were at fault, you don't have to berate 4 people because you have Napoleon syndrome...

What a cunt

Why are so many SaaS startups choosing Next.js in 2025?

I've noticed a huge trend of new SaaS companies and products being built on Next.js. While I understand its core benefits (SSR, SEO), I'm curious about the specific reasons why it's become the go-to choice for startups right now.

Hello guys!
Does Ways2Wellreplace my primary doctor?

!dev Isn't it hilarious how some companies 'try' to look professional by dumping a bunch of stock images to present their brand? For example, a guy touching a holoscreen, or a bunch of overly stock happy corporate drones smiling and 'working' together in a 'meeting'.

I mean, it's sad. lol

I work in IT, and lately it has been very difficult to concentrate. I am constantly distracted, get tired quickly, and notice that my productivity is declining. Coffee no longer helps, and energy drinks only make things worse. Are there any services that can really tell me what is wrong with my body?

In Android it seems impossible to paste something behind your text often. It grinds my gears. * heavy breathing *

DevRant seems terrible slow. Wonder if someone is crawling/data mining it.

Pips is one of those games that makes me go, “just one more try” every time. I always think I’ll solve it quickly, but then I end up replaying for 20 minutes because I’m so determined to find the perfect solution. It’s addictive in the best way, and I love how it pushes me to think differently each day.
