So this recruiter reached to me. They supposedly like my profile and have a role in mind but need more info than what's currently on my CV

They want 15 bullets points for duties per role.

As in 15 for each job... My CV is already two pages long.

What the fuck do recruiters actually do

Well, dR just disappeared for a bit but glad it's back, but I can see that recent rants are gone (because I was trying to catch up on missing rants)

What I’d give for a modern version of gladiator fights. And no, not to watch people die. The belief that they massacred themselves in the arenas is hollywood propaganda. Many fighters werent even slaves. And had pretty high status

Food for thought, if rust-analyzer can infer the type, why the FUCK can't rustc?

This is the nth software company where you have some asshole who for some reason (probably because they hate you) plays blame-games when it comes to code reviews, when they themselves screwed up in the first place (I know there's git blame, but..).

The guy writes shitty code quickly because the manager asked, then I take my time and patience to make it better, and in the code review they shit on me for things THEY wrote badly? Wtf man. What kind of logic is that? Fucked up people. And then putting shit in bold and exclamation marks (wtf?).

Is it just me or have you also seen this behavior with your colleagues?

If you are using fcgiwrap and nginx, if you don't set the root directive, DOCUMENT_ROOT will default to /usr/share/nginx/html/.

In hindsight, it's obvious to me now that there was no way the script could have known the root I wanted without it, but it just didn't occur to me at the time.

Even when I do well in a technical interview I don't get a job offer, I don't know wtf I am doing wrong..

I guess I should start flooding my gitlab with a whole lot of demos, I am pretty desperate so I already bought linkedin premium lmao

Well if shit hits the fan I guess imma have to go with plan B and apply for a master's degree in Europe, I already completed my IELTS with an overall score of 7.5 so I'm fine in that regard

I want to buy a 4TB external drive, with the sole motivation to "preserve" as many games as I possibly can. I know it's not enough, but I want to save my fav games before they're completely gone from the internet.

I could do that, but then what if the Operating Systems go to shit? What if Windows rolls out an update, where you can't run .exe files anymore? Everything has to be installed and run from the Microsoft Store? What if an "online-only" version of Windows gets released and all previous versions get removed?

I know duh, get the Windows 10 cracked iso file as well. But it just depresses me, looking at the hoops I have to jump if all I want to do is enjoy older games.

ever meet a person and he's very interesting but then his retarded girlfriend gets in the way

I hate

I'm not even interested in him this way. now their relationship broke up and he's disappeared and I'm so mad. I wanted to nerd out about occultism not get sucked into some fucking insecure kink whore's sexual drama oh my God. she made him feel bad and self destruct and I don't wanna date him so now I have to wait for him to get over it so I can talk to him and nerd out about shit again. I hate

The average meeting: "I think that's a really great idea. Let's circle back on this and take a 60k view, leveraging the low-hanging fruit so we can identify you championed this technology".

Seriously? Championed? As if the other bs language weren't enough. And this is language that they use to convince clients. "My consultant championed A.I.". Are you fucking kidding me? It sounds ridiculous. Needless to say, we lost that client.

fail to comprehend code

dig through debugger

make change expecting only to fix one of two test cases

it fixes both test cases, not just one,

pain ensues, code makes less sense to me

There was this one time when I was asked to create screenshots of our game for marketing purposes.

The game supported solely the 480i mode.

Once I delivered the screenshots, PM bitched about them being !good, because of the visible interlace.

...the fun times of the Wii era.

I don't care, skeuomorphism like iOS 6 or window 7 aero was the peak of design and you can't convince me otherwise

The junior made some work on the frontend, and... well, it's genuinely good. Nice component, looks good, he used tailwind and the framework properly. It's easy stuff, but he pulled it off nicely and that's how you move from toy projects to complex stuff anyways. This is not a rant, that kid is growing nicely. Let's go.

What have I done today?

Nothing. Stayed naked all day and smoked weed.

Well I did my budget for the month and send my bills.

Tomorrow I'm paid.

Can't wait to receive my 8 strings guitar omg

Woah! Has DevRant been removed from the play store?

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.
