Creating functions inside loops should be a felony

Missing a meeting because I was reading devRant. Worth it.

Devrant servers are still running? Oh man it's been a while

I'm a sick to fucking death of reading 'documentation' by developers who assume you know everything they did at the time of writing and so leave out 90% of the context that would make the documentation make any sense.

Listen to me. If you are writing instructions on how to do something you have 2 options.

1. Write steps that are so detailed a person who has never touched the system could do them
2. Give enough information for a person who has never touched the system to work it out for themselves.

NOT. LET ME REPEAT MYSELF. NOT: 3. Give some half assed info that assumes you had already been working on the system and practically knew everything anyway.

If I had already been working in this area I WOULDNT NEED THE FUCKING DOCUMENTATION TO BEGIN WITH.

In CSS, never ever enlarge anything by hover. There will exist a set of cursed cursor positions somewhere on the edge of fully zoomed out and fully zoomed in states, which will make your UI element twitch between two states at 60+ FPS.

If you want this effect, wrap the element you want to enlarge in a wrapper whose size won't change. Add :hover state on the wrapper, not the element, and change the element in that selector. It will make the curse go away.

wrong:
.zoom:hover { transform: scale(1.1) }

right:
.zoom-wrapper:hover .zoom { transform: scale(1.1) }

What shall it be today?

Nothing like spending 2 days solving a problem that could have been solved by 15 minutes of manual work

Hey, at least it's automated now...

Visual Studio in the recent releases got some updates where it "accelerates build time" by caching DLLs or something
Good in theory? sure.
In practice? So very often, a "hot reload" now doesn't trigger a DLL swap. VS says that changes have been updated but you see stale code and you've to turn off the program and re-run it

I'm sure there's a way to turn this acceleration off and will do that after this rant, but I don't get how such retarded features get green-lit and make it to production :v

I understand that for biiiig solutions with minutes of build-time, this would be god-sent, but if it's this unreliable in my 8-Project Solution, I wonder how unreliable it'd be in bigger Solutions

at least turn it off by default if you know it's shit ffs.

You know shits fucked when the sysadmin whips out the serial adapter!

So, Postman requires you to create an account on their systems to... lemme check...
Perform HTTP requests locally.

I need to create an account to perform HTTP requests.

And the whole dev community is looking at this and say "yeah ofc it's perfectly reasonable"

When you quit your job but have to work your notice period. Fuck this shit.

Google Assistant got replaced by Gemini on my phone. What used to work before, me saying "Hey Google, set an alarm for 5 pm" doesn't work anymore.

"I am only a language model so I can't help you with that" is the default response.

Does big tech not like the idea of things working fine and smooth?

LinkedIn is mostly cringe but not always...

Hug your parents while you can :'(

Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand

Well, my boss is officially unhinged.

He threatened me in a call. He thinks I ratted him out to HR for living over seas. Funny thing is I don't give a rats ass, he's got the wrong guy.

Going to HR now though, see if I can move teams to minimize the damage he can afflict on me.

Got to stage 3 of 5 of an inteview and just discovered the person at stage 4 decides who is qualified to continue, interviews are crazy this days, am lucky i got a job and am not desperate else i would be screwed by this assholes 😡.

Every ticket I work on involves some nebulous, undocumented BS nobody can satisfactorily explain. And worse, even if it’s something I’ve already worked with before, it’s almost invariably different from the last time I saw it, so it’s still nebulous BS. It’s like I’m walking through Steven King’s Mist, except the bugs are more metaphorical.

Everything is spec’d out, except for the views, and half of the logic. But the rest is still technically covered because tests indirectly call the code, so that means it won’t crash right? 😅 Also, the tests that are there are also fucking nebulous, such as calling helper methods that are heavily abstracted, or that are written to test completely different things but kinda sorta work for this too if you set things up just right.

I’m going insane.

The sheer rage I feel after sending an 'urgent' email to a client, following up five times with no reply, and finally getting a reply a week later: 'Thanks for your patience!'... I wasn't being patient, I was suffering.
