Tired of vertical scroll websites.

Manager scheduled an 8:30am meeting .. then send us a message saying he was delayed dropping off his kids at school and would be 15 minutes, then showed up at 9am. 😡

Ain't nothing like compiler development to make you want to jump of a bridge

I went in with my childish naivety. How wrong I was... lmao

Best buy employees and geek squad don’t know shit about computers

I just had a recruiter reach out to me on LinkedIn for a senior front end developer job. Hybrid, 70% more than what I currently get as a Laravel developer. And I really like working with Laravel.

Fuck... I've been in this new job since September and I might just pursue this. It's SO MUCH MONEY, HOLY FUCK.

Problem is, I won't have a lot of holiday time when my lover wants to come visit me next year.

2025/6 is the year contrast dies.

Apple, obviously, with liquid glass (AKA, "I can't see what's on top or bottom!")

But now also, trying out Visual Studio 26, everything is just a slightly different shade of gray.

Won't anyone think of the clarity?! We have reached the point where we are so biased towards form over function, that our form is no longer functional! Bring back contrasting shades of colors in UI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First time filing for unemployment after the layoff. I didn't even know it was something I was eligible, so I'm lucky I spoke to my friend the other day.

devRant is crawling again. devRanters are truly the members of society that face the most unjust lives.

My hoster doesn't accept my passport for expiry date. Who do they think they are? The freaking government? All data matches with what they have in their system so give me the access that is declined because YOU changed authentication requirements.

Do I have to get myself a new passport to get my server up and running again fuckers? You really want to have my server down paid for, for weeks, because something YOU did?

Week: 111 (Year 3)

Plans for the weekend?

Question: What’s a “this should be free” service that always costs money??

Xcode under 26 now defines "close window" as command+shift+W which is contrary to EVERY Mac App that has ever existed (or pretty damn close).

Command + W closes a tab.

Trying to get them to switch with each other and Xcode switches them back on you. I sat here and watched it do it. Those damn menu key mappings are agonizing anyway... Another shit show from Apple Xcode team.

And... if you check the Xcode comments in the app store it is driving other people nuts too.

I should not have to fight my IDE to do work.
💩=>🧠

Would someone please introduce the Apple Xcode team to DevRant. Makes me wonder if those jokers use Mac outside of Xcode.

Fuck auto translations. YouTube, Reddit (that has TWO layers of auto translation), Google, Chrome (that for some fucking reason doesn't understand "NEVER translate...")...
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a11y, but LET ME OPT OUT.

ChatGPT Go is free for India for a full year.

Lord help the LLMs learning off of Indians.

So pissed off at this job stuff. All promises and no resolve (async pun).

I decided to buy a rack + PC case and a new HDD. Since I wasn't expecting to need to change the HDD for years, I put it on the mount that has the screws in an annoying place. Guess which drive is dead on arrival -_- I'll have to remove the whole box from the rack I think to get to it

I'm happy with the new setup when it's running, but the constant issues are annoying (mainly pains of fresh linux setup or having to wait on parts and things to arrive on time)

there's only one sure way to quit smoking and it's called lifeand by life I mean coughing up some blood a second time

The last Windows update has fucked up the positions of the files on my desktop.

At this point I‘m not even mad. Also not disappointed anymore. We are past that.

Now it’s more of a confirmation of the ever declining quality of MS products.

"But why is the scar on the left if the appendix is on the right?"

"You're absolutely right! Let me try that one more time"

I don't know what's wrong with me.

Whenever I interview, it takes me almost 3/4 of the allotted time to grasp the problem. I don't know if it's because I am truly dyslexic, or if I'm really bad under stress / time constraint.

After the interview I was able to finish the problem within 10 minutes, but by then it's just too late.

Can't help but feel like a bad about it.

Remember my Nigerian client rant? Now get this.

Just one day of working here, and I find out that these guys have CI/CD setup so pushes to main branch are deployed to prod automatically,

And these guys are pushing to master from their local env 10 TIMES A DAY.

There are 3 devs working here (excluding me) and all 3 are doing this.

Oh oh oh, and local env isn't really "local" because all 3 devs are pointing to prod database, FROM THEIR LOCAL SYSTEM !!!!

Things are so bad that they have to keep resetting their production db after every deployment.

FML.
