babydev#1 just made a devRant account.

He just told me he's gonna add me here.

I suggested he might get a frame of ref or at least a few laughs at things... like @b2plane

I've never wanted kids... but maybe this is close-ish?

Dw, im not dumb enough to suggest anyone be kind to him... but i must admit im a bit eager to see what happens next. He's definitely a newb with dev, but he's bright and can certainly hold his own in wars fought on tactical phrasing.

...I mean, he is my underling afterall 😈

He will be fine… unless he's a js dev, of course ;) *pre-heats the flamethrower*

@Lensflare Hey, don't judge us. We've lost all morality, but it puts bread on ze Tisch...

@Ranchonyx if you are aware of the evilness of it and regret your sins, then you are fine.

@Lensflare I try to keep my code as clean as possible, but the nature of the whole browser ecosystem makes it difficult.
Forgive me, father 6502, for I have sinned.

@Lensflare he's just started anything practical. His js is about the level of a basic alert in an html... so it's at least real/valid/originally intended for js.

I was busy and was supposed to be introducing/setting up him with some things... since he just started with php and mySQL... and maybe im an asshole(well i am, but not sure how much of one w/things like this)...he's lost passwords often, so i told him to make a web app that needs a password to access the page, and can store and retrieve passwords.

Said he could use any method(s) and gave an apache docs link (his apache is essentially: its http/https :80/:443, .htaccess redirects and that php get is unsecure).

He was curious if he could use python... threw me a curveball there... i had to connect some dots i clearly hadnt considered yet. Then he had some specific questions/concerns about how multiple types of encryption work and google having access to everyone's passwords.

Imo, that's proof he's got a good head lol

@Lensflare i warned him about b2plane... the fecal fascination and the raging thread where b2plane is mad at/competing 1sided with the idea of babydev and apparently mad at me for hiring *not b2plane*

@awesomeest That sounds like a promising dev in the making.

@Ranchonyx ikr... i first had him go through sololearn html and css... when he had never touched/used any non-android computer. Actually it took him forever to just do it. Turns out its a combo of irl fuck-ups/dramas and him getting bored so procrastinating... and previously he hadnt actually told/explained to anyone wtf he was doing (2 and a half years... with some big bumps and craters )

Oh, the best part... technically, the first non-android computer OS that he saw/experienced, whatever u call it... was a 5k$ rhel9 server in my living room(i dont like 'the cloud', but im pretty sure u could've guessed from my archaic, legacy habits and me being a data nerd that also has been writing custom drivers 24yrs...since age 8)... i just needed him to log some stuff....

Dude, 1st html he wrote(a simple site, topic of his choice and gave him a subdomain/ftp) he used random custom tags out of curiosity. So he innately understood what a markup lang was without ever knowing H-,T-,M=markup, L-

@awesomeest So, uh, who's this guy exactly?

@Ranchonyx if he doesnt pull some dumb crap again he'll be awesome... even if his relatives dont understand wtf he is doing and why some, im assuming they think im either doing something super shady or have a psych disorder, ~30 yr old female in the US. Ironically, i ended up finding someone with even less of a valid frame of ref-- just floating somewhere between knowing smart phones arent actually magic boxes, and me... whos been professionally writing simple web apps abd fixing PCs 24 years now (age 8-32).

I warned him that if he makes himself/connection to me known, he will probably have an unimaginative Indian kid, sidney, trying/failing to gas light him... and that he might leaen some stuff thats hard to teach-- by watching the ones like sidney and looking at their logic/code.

This place is totally like the biggest, greatest, reality-show-esq, thing ever... but for an innately limited audience that knows enough tech/jargon to pass.

@Ranchonyx
i have... unusual... hiring practices. Years ago he was one of the millions of teenagers(and beyond) that did shit like begging for pennies in some crypto chat filled with people wasting tons of time begging eachother for money none of them have. I tend to get annoyed and send a copy/paste of why that concept is asinine... he was one of the very few that didnt just run away in some manner. He apologised and asked if i knew a better way...

At first i hust had him doing basic data entry and things like updating the lines on my crypto charts.

Im cursed to see and be extremely annoyed by potential thats not being used... literally every report card i got, kindergarten through high school had "does not wirk to potential". I always thought, why tf do they care? I had nearly the highest marks everywhere... now it haunts me.

@awesomeest Other people's view of one's own potential is highly subjective and mostly inaccurate. No reason for writing that on a report card.

My teachers often wrote the same things on mine, "problem" with me was/still is, that I only work to potential on things that interest me. Like for example, religious education class, bullshit, uninteresting and irrelevant to humanity. CompSci class? Hell yeah, embrace modernity.

A month ago, i invested my money with a crypto investment company through someone i met on telegram, the whole scheme and explanation to me was promising and with good returns, not knowing that the whole thing is fake.

It was when i wanted to access and withdraw my funds that i knew what was going on. i couldn't withdraw my capital of $420.000, this got me worried and despite doing what i was asked to do. The most annoying thing is that I see my amount on the dashboard but cannot withdraw. The situation pushed me into bankruptcy. 

I almost gave up on looking for solutions till i came across an article on Medium about a recovery support team named Hack Recovery, at that point i was not sure if i should seek their support but it was the best decision i made because they helped me to recover my money after a week.

Their email address; Hackrecovery AT Yandex DOT ru. Maybe you can reach out to them if you have a similar challenge and get your money recovered.

@Ranchonyx
Well... for transparency...

I went to catholic school prek-12th. I was even an altar server (mainly cuz i wanted more credible excuses).

1st grade, teacher had us push the desks out and get in a giant circle holding our arms out/slightly bent and palms up. She lectured in circles of generic god/jesus stuff while watching for the 5min mark. Then says some dont believe in jesus/god cuz they cant see/feel them. 'You feel your arms getting heavy? Almost like someone is pushing them down?... that's jesus'

I immediately (and i do mean immediately, i was super concerned) replied "Isn't that gravity?!?!".

~month later i had a few too many higly complex questions about 'god' and several aspects of the bible.

Teacher and the principal (sr ursula... rather old) both told me I should ask a priest these questions. I asked "which priest?"... answers were muddled so i asked both there that week;answers were different, so i asked each, who was right... caused some issues.

@awesomeest To my luck, in stark contrast to your experience sadly, my religious education teacher was receptive to criticism and logic. I remember her mostly fondly because she didn't just say "X is because God/The bird thing/Jesus said so". Sorry you had to endure catholic school.

@Ranchonyx
In high school... with 4 semesters of religious classes required for the 4 yr stint... some classes ended up making an incentive pool... 2-5$ per person and whoever got the religion teacher on a tangent (ie., not giving the tests on time cuz they didnt get to explain the material) for the longest time over the week, got the whole pot... i won several times...

Father Edward (aka fred... who he hated), i got with "did adam and eve have belly buttons?"... he had said it was just a parable/not literal. still tried to figure out an answer. It turned into the total number of ribs in males or females are wrong unless man had an extra rib.

This other teacher (new one) i got her for 3 days on 'why do *we* accept that god just always existed/was god/creator... but we try to identify everything/why couldn't we accept humans as akways exisinting/etc, if we can accept that __god__ just exists... like we dont even go to if god has a god
