LLMs write worse code than any human's code. No logic. Fuck generative AI. I fucking hate it.

My colleague thought process became the average of all possible existing LLMs. He has perplexity, ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor open on different tabs every time I go check on him. He is literally performing majority vote on all possible LLMs -> he basically stopped thinking.

Finally got all the php errors fixed on my servers. Feels good man.

OKAY I GOT IT ITS SCALABLE THANK YOU NO I DONT WANT TO BUY A LICENCE NO I DONT WANT TO WATCH YOUR WEBINAR NO PLEASE GOD NO

How can so many people be shit at their job, and all in one company?

Once upon a time, there was a young, clean-shaven dev.
Soon in his career the smooth faced dev realized he had a knack for cloud setup. He understood permissions and network configurations, he could tell apart security groups from access groups, he could get all the information needed for an IPSec VPN in a single breath.
But if things got really tough, if the network layout was really messy, if the security settings too arcane, some older, bearded senior dev would come to solve everything.
Time passed, the junior dev got better at stuff, switched companies many times, solved a million problems, delivered countless projects, attended infinite meetings - twice - and, as often is the case, the senior devs, one by one, left the companies and run ever more scarce each day.

One day, a long, loooong time after his first meeting, the once young dev was solving network problems. Weird ones. Tough security requirements. Poorly documented cloud services. For hours, the dev and his colleagues toiled away, chipping at the problem without getting at its core.
The silence fell in the meeting. Everybody looking at each other, waiting for someone to say something.
Then they all looked at the dev, their eyes crying for help.
And the dev realized that he hadn't shaved in weeks.

-------‐‐-------------------------------
I've shaved since then.
And I did solve the problem. Took many more hours, though.

TIL json can't encode NaN or +/-inf. wtf!?...

Doing some JavaScript right now and holy moly is this one spaghetti ass language

Promises referencing closures referencing local variables referencing message handlers referencing resolve callbacks referencing ... 😵‍💫

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.

Traffic getting worse and worse everyday

Who are all these people?
Why are they in my town?
Why do they all have on-site jobs?

Challenge for today: tell someone who micromanages that they are micromanaging and see what happens! I never saw our politically, culturally, morally, vibe'ly correct HR lady lose her shit so much :D funny how someone drops all masks when something vulnerable gets touched

A cautionary tale, dear devRanters:

Quote of my CEO today: "We are never going to get an other lawyer as customer... Only problems!"

Imagine our users knowing their rights, such a shame.

I like coming up with novel passive agressive ways to say fuck you.

getting fired on 20th june 2025 and it is SUCH a fucking relief to not ever see this 30 year old garbage code project EVER AGAIN!!!! and moving onto modern technology project for another client. FUCK OFF 🇨🇭♿️🇨🇭♿️🇨🇭♿️

The year is 2057. One IPv4 address costs 1 BTC.

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.

Holy fucking shit, I can't stand this corporate framework they use for this banking app on which I've been working on for 2 months.

I’ve spent the last damn month just building three basic screens, and now my very first PR is buried under 50 fucking comments. Half of them exist purely because their shitty framework has multiple versions stacked and stitched together with so many workarounds that you need so much domain knowledge that intuition or actual dev experience goes out the window.

They’ve abstracted real app development into oblivion. It’s a CRUD app, but they've over-engineered it so much they’re now creating their own problems — just so they can specialize in solving them. It's become this self-sustaining nightmare where they make themselves irreplaceable... and simultaneously unemployable anywhere else.

I genuinely have no idea what I’m doing with my life anymore. The original plan was six months here, grab a mortgage, fuck off, and go back to contracting.

Now I’m stuck questioning my sanity every time I open this project or have to listen to another lecture from my 'buddy' about how everything that I'm doing is wrong.

I see more and more tech books with AI generated cover, and every time I feel like the whole book is probably generated and is worthless 🤔
