I'm starting to wonder if the modern job market has changed in such a way that they now require you to have Senior skills if you apply for a Senior position - the old 'apply anyway' does not seem to hold true anymore. This is the experience I have been getting from my latest interviews. If they ask for someone who's a guru in C#... well then, you better be the greatest living legend in it, and no less will do, neither any amount of sales talk.

It's just that; they're asking for real skill nowadays, obviously because the job market is going downwards again and companies are taking no risks... the effect is: either you're really good or we're not hiring you. That must also explain the lack of junior positions... I used to see much more of those around. Now it's all spammed with Senior in the title.

Can ill people please stay home :(

Now I also caught the flu :(

"We wanted to let you know about X. (Bla bla bla…) Do you want to activate X now?"

[Yes, activate X]
[Remind me later]

How about a fucking 3rd option: Never ask me again? 🤬

Fucking hate those dark patterns!

Currently thinking about how all the hardware currently getting propped up for AI might end up getting used by the US Government to crack encrypted data. Because AI inevtably failed.

Have you ever asked yourself: "Do I really want to be a dev?". Maybe one wants to be an artist, y'know.

eye of sauron micromanagement coming down as i have hardly a clue what im doing and my plans are only stable until i am metaphorically punched in the face as per mike tyson's quote

if it works to improve me, then good enough

For a long time, I vouch for non-2FA because I expect it to be against me earlier than being a benefit. Now, I have the mail server down. I need to login to repair it. I login and out of nowhere: 2FA. It sent the code to my e-mail. Ok, I'm fucked. So I call their phone number and that said "Sorry, we can't respond in person because of the high load (smth like that)". Well, this is an issue that an automated bot won't fix for sure.

This server isn't fixed anytime soon. But the 2FA, I knew it! Please make it optional and don't force it on users. Through e-mail is a bad idea by design, do a SMS or something, something that is not depended on the hosting services.

Do any of you here have a relation to Firefox?

I posted a rant like 9 months ago about a VERY small specific bug in Firefox.

And since the last update, it's fixed lol.

The bug was:

When in Firefox and pressing WIN + F11, Firefox went into full-screen mode (probably just checked F11 without the WIN modifier).

Now it does not lol. Well, win for me, win for Firefox, and feels great.

(I have a custom global shortcut for WIN + F11.)

An other week without a backend, an other week closer to the deadline... Less than 2 months to go (excl 2 weeks of PTO :D)

Updates on my current resignation situation: 55 days are over, 35 days remaining. i haven't got a single interview call(yes not even an hr call!?!) since I put open to work on linkedin. I am thinking of rescinding my resignation

Here are some points about my current org, help me decide:

1. Physical
+ 3days wfo, 34km away from home (the next silicon valley area is around 500km far, in another state)
- 2hrs of commute from home, no energy left after work time is over

2. Tech
+ We are using very latest tech in softwares, the leaders are pushing for us to learn AI as well.
- there aren't much people with in depth knowledge, its like enough monkeys with typewriters will produce a shakespeare somehow

3. People and culture:
+ People are very energetic, vocal and fast paced
+ Work is done under ever "improving"(changing) ruleset, with discipline and in a process oriented manner
+ I have been here for almost 3 years, so have a decent professional relationship with team
- rules are made and applied according to convenience. People playing good games seems to work around these rules
- unrealistic deadlines and over work
- Too much pressure to "outshine" and "go over and above" to even expect a basic appreciation
- non respctful, shouting culture, people are not really friends but rather playing the "survival of the fittest, loudest and most aggresive" game

4. Brand
+ Company's name is reputable, its known for rarely ever doing layoffs and people have a sense of security
+ My salary is decent, marketworthy for the role that I am in (SE1)
- with 5+ yoe, both my role and salary is not as per market standards (should be atleast SE2)

@ostream see DM's on Snek, I delivered. Enable Snek notification system! It's almost not annoying!

Paying for youtube premium and then almost every author these days has his own freaking ads in their videos. What the fuck is this for shit. Fuck off. Greedy fuckers. Degenerates.

It's also always for products that they don't use for sure while many times claiming they do. Talking about sophisticated shit and then "Here's incogni". Wraaaahh. You know it won't help fucker. You know it you know it you know it.

Soo.. I bought a Transcend SSD and I wanted to make a backup of my _current_ backup ssd.

Bought it, plugged it up and fired up rsync. Although Transcend declares the SSD seq writes are up to >1G/s, it was at least x10 slower than that. Eventually all was copied. Wat surprised me was the disk usage.

Here are both the filesystems: the source and the destination (Transcend)

P.S. damn, imags are down.. attaching plaintext
