An important lesson I learned:

When upskilling yourself and taking notes, make sure you do it on your personal laptop because when the time of contract termination arises, you will have to sign a waiver that you can't keep any of the data you saved on company infrastructure (including cloud). And then you lose all your notes and possibly knowledge. lol.

I find this concept so annoying. Even in college they said that anything you write down is property of the university.

This comic is completely generated by AI. Yes, the new image generator update in GPT-4o is insane! 🚀

Good afternoon everyone!

Oh the irony. I gotta ask a JS question here...

How come I can't do this?
<button type="button" id="idGetData1" onclick="{async()=>{ await get_data();}}">getDataFromWebserver</button>

But I have to do this?
document.getElementById("idGetData1").onclick=async() => {
await get_data();
};

Why the extra steps and need to run in onload?

Playing around with fetch instead of XMLHttpRequest for testing an embedded board.

Who needs BDSM when we have comms channels' outages in the middle of a PROD release.

Then again, who in his right mind uses Telegram for company comms....

How novel would it be to link vector entries or variables' importance to the correlation between the function's derivatives and frequency components?

Isn't the importance of variables determined typically through things like coefficient analysis in regression or other?

Current job is making me hate developing software. Am I cooked?

I've been getting better at typing with 9 fingers. I am managing to ruin the only health benefit of smoking; the break.

I'm such a successful software developer that today I have deleted 3 major repositories 🎉

I think I have like 12 more to go. less is more

Something managers need to understand:

Developers are not a bag of M&M's to pick from and arrange them on the customer's table, neither are they LittleBits or LEGO pieces to click together for the customer to play with.

We can't possibly satisfy every client skill need. We need time to learn, and not by fudging around with the tech in production or similar.

Is it me or do you also get put on numerous projects simultaneously?

I don't know why companies do this. To save money, probably. What were they thinking? It's not efficient to put a developer on several different projects at once, much less projects that are not in their field.

What do you get when you put an employee on 5-10 different projects simultaneously? A nerve-wracked, stressed out, easily-burnt-out employee. I've seen it myself.

Got this message from my CEO: "When are we going to have a perfect working version? 100% sure without bugs? "

How do I even respond to this? "We are wondering the same"?

(for context, he requested an early alpha build of a certain feature)

Text is lovely to skim but so limiting when you're trying to connect 🫂

Humans make _strings_ of love all day everyday for those they love🧵

ok actually I just had an epiphany

vibe coding (which is telling an AI to do something instead of touching the code yourself) would be helpful on phones

so kind of like Tony Stark talking to Jarvis

instead of trying to find symbols on a phone

but if you have a laptop actually touching the code would still be superior

with a phone you could say what you want and just double check if it's right on the screen

soooo bathroom coding or when you're on the run middle of the street coding. hell... relaxing bath coding (I listen to podcasts in there by ziplocking my phone)

do you think people were far less workaholic before modern era. probably very relaxed time

I can’t feel anything
it hurts.

Hello. Can someone explain me how to build the avatar here? I really can not get it

VSCode is a good, fast editor that has great flexibility and an extensive feature set out of the box. Sorry Sublime, but VSCode is just better.

I used Sublime since 2015, and after using VSCode for several months, I realized I’m not going back to Sublime. Their plugins ecosystem is totally broken, every plugin is abandoned.

Vim and other bigoted editors can go fuck themselves. Unlike Vim users, I have actual work to do, so I don’t have time to polish my configs. I want things working out of the box.
