The shortest rant ever that doesn't need any explanation: XCODE

This really resonated with me. The last job I had before doing my work as a full-time independent freelancer had all sorts of infantilization strategies. Parties, nerf gun wars, big lunch once a week, etc. I'm introverted and all of that stuff sapped my mental energy for the day, so my productivity suffered. It's daycare for adults.

Just spent 5h figuring out why sending a serial command wont trigger in U-Boot. Was literally soldering wires to the boad, decoded the entire line with a scope, used several adapters, downloaded the firmware again and again over serial and USB-dfu and a looking for alternative boards online just to find out cutecom was set to send no LF after a command so U-Boot thought i was still typing something. This is literally the semicolon joke you see splattered over normie coding memes.

pls stop putting talking into music mixes. you're ruining my jive. I don't wanna hear your opinions. just play the math noises

So many meetings, how could one be lonely

Shithead manager.

Complaining that I'm a "senior" and he expects more from me (ignore that he's been making that complaint for 3 years and it's only been my job for less than 1)

Now complaining that I'm taking time to teach someone about something that they don't actually need to know.

I'm so fucking done with this job.

I just keep reinventing javascript

Happy Easter
Happy Hitler's Birthday
Happy 420 day

👨🏽‍💻 Switching between multiple Git accounts: work, personal, freelance?

Ever pushed a commit with Company A's email to Company B's repo? 😩🥶
Been there. Done that. Regretted it immediately.

I just dropped a step-by-step guide on how to set up Git so it automatically picks the right name, email, and SSH key based on your project folder.

No more manual config switching. 💡
✅ No more identity mix-ups
✅ No more commit shame
✅ Just clean, context-aware Git workflows 🙌

🔧 What’s inside:
- Multiple SSH key setup
- Smart .gitconfig using includeIf
- Folder structure that keeps you sane
- Bonus tips for HTTPS + personal token users
If you’ve ever yelled at Git (or yourself), this one’s for you.

👏 Drop a clap if it helps and follow for more dev-friendly tips!

I grew up in Russia. We don't use imperial units in any way, shape or form: we're fully metric. Every single person who taught me at school and whatnot was born and raised in Soviet Union that was also fully metric, and science was worshiped. We used to laugh at imperial units.

Given all that, I... don't hate imperial system. Inches, feet, miles, Fahrenheit degrees, gallons, all units based on human proportion. Just think where the word for "feet" came from.

Zero C is meh, nothing in particular. A hunge boils your blood kills you instantly. It's useless: it's a "shit ton of heat" in human scale.

Zero F is chilly, a hunge F is toasty. It's based around human perception. To me, there is no difference between 100 and 90 C, but the difference between 100 and 90 F is more perceptible, and thus more useful to a human being.

Same with every other unit. What's a gallon? A gallon is enough for an average Joe to get drunk, that's what a gallon is.

Where it all falls apart is when you're trying to create something. When you're trying to get some calculation going. When you're making — not consuming — you need your units to add up, e.g. to have the SYSTEM in place. Imperial system is not a system.

Imperial units are perfect for _consuming_ stuff: a gallon of milk, a pint of beer, a (real) footlong sandwich, a pound of meat. Six foot high dude with seven inch dick.

Metric units are indispensable when you're _making_ stuff, at any scale. That's the difference. Imperial units are the tool of consumption, metric system is the tool of creation.

Only the time units seem to be the same for everyone on earth right now. Time itself in its mercilessness gives the same treatment to all entities, doesn't matter if you're a human or a grain of sand.

European hares and regular bunnies have nothing in common in terms of how they behave.

Hares will scream at you and attack you if you get too close. They're very fast and very agile, they even look like mini kangaroos. Sometimes they will open their mouth and jump at you full force, essentially using their body as a spear and their incisors as a spear tip. Their teeth are VERY sharp. Unlike carnivores' canines which are pointy, hare's incisors are flat like a razor's edge. They can totally bite your finger off.

They're big, strong and fierce enough to scare away foxes.

Just imagine dying of anaphylaxis all alone in the forest with no one to help you after getting bit by a not-even-rabid not-even-predator.

These are the scopes of knowing if you are stupid.

1. you know your stupid about some things.
2. there are things you don't know about, or that you are stupid about those things. but you can still conceive about these things as not known and that you may be stupid about them.
3. tailgaters, they don't know they are stupid and they don't have the ability to know they are stupid. also these are the people that took life science instead of physics in high school.

Had to change my dog in my profile. The little black dog died, and I'm grieving pretty hard over it. One dog left, and that's it for me after he's gone. I can't say goodbye to any more puppers.

After mass downvoting a serial ad spammer, apparently I've lost my downvote privileges and all of my downvotes are removed. Fucking great.

Meanwhile devrant is flooded with 99% spam, nazi trolling, pseudo intellectual conspiracy nonsense and politics.

I‘m tired of this shit.

So... Android will have a full debian terminal ... Neat 😏

3 week ago, I made a post sharing that we got a new marketing guy and my colleague and I have a bet going on if he will last 6 months or not.

He is already fired.

TeamLeader2 is currently attempting to kill a PR I worked on for the past three weeks because -in a listener function- I place a listener and that's supposedly bad practice

I have no idea how to tell him; an event causes the creation of an object -itself an event emitter-, and I want to listen to those events; I can't listen to those events without a listener on those events. There's no middle ground.

I had the weirdest job interview in the world. A job that wasn't even considering due to lower compensation than what I am making.

Throughout my career I saw three types of interviews (some times I have 1 & 2, 1&3 or just 2 or just 3 or fail early in 1):

1. HR textbook style: your 3 biggest weaknesses, what would your coworkers describe (I fail most of the time here)

2. People coming to prove a point to you (what happened to me today): Somebody with a clear intention to prove you are stupid and/or lying.. You are guilty until proven innocent style of interaction. They will find one little thing that you read about 15 years ago and zoom in it enough (it takes a 1min read to go over that again) and to them you are stupid and that's it. Generally insecure people do that

3. Tech oriented hiring people: it always goes well even if I don't get hired. Where they focus on the skills that take years to master rather than zooming on something you studied 15 years ago and totally forgot.

The hiring person was in tech presumably for 20 years but I saw 0 important stuff in his github. (I can name and shame if it's allowed here)

Video editing is hard af. I shifted from VSDC Free editor to Davinci Resolve now, and its kicking my ass.

That's all.

If you put Web3 on your resume, I'm rejecting you without even looking at the rest of your resume.
