Wow, compared to youtube, people on devRant are actually a sane and friendly bunch.
Shoutout to the crazy idiots here, I love you all! 😄

so everyone seems to get brainwashed already and doesn't mind it

does it mean humans consent to brainwashing implicitly? 🤔

humanity, do I have your consent to brainwash you? 😁

why else would you let other things brainwash you? 🤔

AAAAAAAH

NEW GUITAR HAVE BEEN SENT

Haven't been that excited since I was 8 I swear

There is nothing easier than running an insurance company in the US of A. When a big request comes in from a client in distress that got into a terrible accident that is definitely covered by their (very expensive) plan, you just go to the data bank like Equifax and see if they're still rich enough to win a lawsuit against you should you refuse to pay.

For those of you who don't know what a data bank is: data banks are companies that buy/scrape/suck in every last bit of data they can about every person in the country, and then resell it through their fancy UI with all the convenient features and metrics.

So, Umbrella Insurance Co. goes to Equifax and asks whether Joe Schmoe's accident is severe and life-ruining enough that they won't be able to sue us. Exuifax says: let's see... Joe's Revolut©™ account has the grand total of $80.12, with $7,382.25 recently spent on medical bills. Joe's WhatsApp©™ (a Meta©™ company) classifies their recent messages as "desperate". Joe's iPhone©™ Screen Time©™ is increased, and Joe is doomscrolling a lot, especially on The Washington Post©™ (a Jeff Bezos company). All signs show that if you don't pay them, they won't be able to out-sue you. That would be $0.12, thanks!

As a person who is no one in particular that may or may not have been a US of A's supreme court judge once said, "sometimes it's not about justice, but about making the sucker spend all their money".

Everyone talking about 100x engineers.

Well, happy treason day to all the yanks

If you make a db query and it goes surprisingly fast, that means it somehow fucked up your db. A database _never_ works faster than when it fucks itself up. Normal queries are always slow, but wrong queries are oh so quick.

Elastic APM, Mixpanels are crappiest piece of software.

If you find these in your org, and you have PM wanting to build on top of these piece of garbage prepare to leave.

Woah! Has DevRant been removed from the play store?

Lately, I’ve been diving deep into Gemini CLI and experimenting with multiple MCP integrations. I started by connecting Context7, which fetches real-time, version-specific docs and code snippets right into your prompt — super useful for quick reference and building faster.

Then I added Taskmaster-AI, which lets me tap into both OpenAI and Google API keys. This unlocked a much broader range of language models for different use cases like planning, summarizing, or automation.

To top it off, I included SmolAgents, a lightweight agent framework from GitHub that allows for modular, goal-driven AI behavior directly in the terminal.

What surprised me is how seamlessly these all work together inside Gemini CLI. You don’t need to call them out directly — once configured properly in your .gemini/settings.json, they complement each other naturally. Taskmaster handles structured planning, Context7 brings up-to-date references, and SmolAgents give flexible control.

I’m curious if anyone else is combining tools like these in their workflow? What kinds of prompts or workflows are you using Gemini CLI for?

Also, if you're interested, I made a quick walkthrough, check out the link in my profile.

Imagine a workplace. A workplace that is planning a local event for tomorrow with deals and a free discount code for those who arrive.
Only thing is: everything is chaos, no one is taking responsibility for the event, no one communicates about changes or how the event is going to be.

Now you get a call off duty. You have to check a discount code that wasn't working. You were to set it up for the event. But apparently they decided to open the doors for the event TODAY. You get a call 5 minutes after the first. "Is it done yet?" NO. Because you have to FIX CODE and deploy changes because they don't have any staging environment, no proper testing environment and (best of all) development mostly connected directly to the production database.

This! This is my job.
I am so fucking mad.

I need courses on how to grow my spine even more and demand what should be fucking law at this point.
Or maybe just leave. I'm the only dev.. 😎

If ChatGPT calls my problem a "classic" or it's solution a "subtle quirk of <framework>" one more fuckin time I'm gonna be the first human to murder an AI

> Cynics and pessimists are a quite similar breed, however. Some animals, when cornered, fight to the death. Other animals roll over, resigned to their fate. The cynic, early in life, does not get the answers he wishes. The pessimist, too, realizes that the life he wants will not be handed to him. Both find themselves too weak or too cowardly to press on, despite these initial setbacks, and they then play the next logical role: that of the perpetual naysayer. This way nothing can hurt them. They know nothing, so their knowledge is safe and secure from refutation. They want nothing, therefore their desire is never thwarted. They hate nothing, and therefore can never be attacked and overpowered by an enemy. They love nothing, and are thus never in fear of losing their beloved, losing hope. So afraid of life, they cease living, and derive their power from the blanket criticism of all things – and yet they do not die, do they? They continue to eat and breathe, a hero and sage in their own minds. They are like a child who quits a game of checkers after losing the first two pieces. The only reason I write of them here and now is because I have this tendency in myself and am sympathetic to it, though I have no patience for it. There is room for these people in life, perhaps, but not in magic. Cynics never question their cynicism and pessimists never sour of their ennui. They are best left to their mud pond – at least when they look in the muddy pool, the reflection is somewhat undistorted. You need not worry about these things, however. You have a sky to see – blue changing into black.
