I have never been fucked more in my life. A month ago I finished a 3 month internship for my last year of my education. And next to the internship I only have my thesis to defend and voila, I got my diploma! The internship itself went awesome, met some very interesting people, had a ton of fun working there and they were really happy about me.
But then it started, about 2 weeks after my internship started I got an email that my mentor (from school itself) had changed. It changed to a guy who's known for his insane way of teaching and being very unprofessional. Sometimes when I had a class on another level a bit further in the hall, we could hear him screaming while he was "teaching". He's really insane and should in no way be teaching to students. On top of that he has very little knowledge about CS, since he "teaches" maths.
So after I got the news I knew I was fucked. This guy is really hard to communicate with. And I'd never be able to have a decent, professional conversation with him.
So after I did everything I knew I was supposed to do, I tried to contact him on what else he'd need from me. His emails were crazy, unprofessional, and in no condition of being able to read and understand. So I started to get really annoyed but I didn't make this clear towards him. I even complained to another person of my school in a very polite way by saying that our communication wasn't going so well, I got no answer from that person and she even forwarded my complaint to him without asking for my permission and answering me.
So I kept doing what he kinda asked for, but had no idea if I was doing it wrong or right since I almost never got an answer from him, or the answer was not even an answer to my questions in the first place.
Today I had my presentation of the internship in front of him. It's the first time I see him since this school year. I give my presentation being quite happy of what I did at the company. When I was finished he starts bashing me into oblivion with ignorant questions, comments and very deconstructive negative feedback. Me not knowing what the fuck is happening and getting really angry inside standing there with nothing to say. I answered all of his questions as good as I could. But he was tearing me down so fucking hard. Because I only had half an hour I sticked with the most important stuff about my internship, didn't go to deep into all of it because he's not a fucking it'er anyway, and he asked for it specifically not to go deep into the project. But now he's saying I'm not giving enough information?! (He wanted to know what IDE I used?!?! What the fuck has that to do with anything)
So although I had a wonderful internship and I completed my project far better than the company had expected, my presentation went awful. I'm thinking that the guy was predetermined in failing me. How can I do a good job if he himself is not give a fuck about me. So now he's probably failing me for something he has no clue of what I did, and it's not even my fault.
I have no idea what I should be doing now. I start working in the second week of February but I probably won't get my bachelors degree until September now because of this fucker. I'm even thinking on taking legal actions. This guy just fucked my self confidence so hard. I'm fucking depressed right now15 -
Medium is a machine, albeit a broken machine, that somehow bot farmers manage to get the most shitty click bait titles up... and the content of said shitty articles (if you can even call it 'content' i.e. two sentence recycled slop designed for those with single digit to negative IQ) is even worse...
Dev.to has become a laundry list of "(X fucking shitting things that Y developers didn't know with Z) - I swear browsing yesterday I saw literally the SAME LLM shitted template like ("Here's 9 things that you NEED to learn in 2025) - they even both used the number 9... fucking christ
Reddit... not even an possible way to even get a foot in there, I don't even understand that platform...
And, I can't believe I'm saying this, but Hacker News is quickly reaching the same level too - just filled with clowns who don't even know what LLMs are, or what even fucking copilot agent mode is - and keep in mind these are the guys who are supposed to be making 300K a year because they are the "leaders in tech"? fuck off
I'm quite close to just quitting it all entirely, even you guys (sadly)... I haven't been on in forever but I can imagine the type of bigbrains who have since come and gone in my absence here...
I wanted to stake my claim and make my living here... but currently, if the internet isn't 'bad' enough since say 2015/2016 - it's going to get AT LEAST 100x worse - every platform has their fucking dumb ass social quirks and the moment you don't conform you're an outcast - if you can even make sense of why certain articles get more traffic than others in the first place. fucking backwards ass idiot machine, I swear
I'm gonna go have fun in the real world for the foreseeable future, have fun trying to 'make it' in this cesspool. jfc

Another nice rant while I try to find a job.
I make an interview with the senior dev (they are small and don't have a hr).
Everything sails snooth and they tell me "We will tell u something at the end of august"
Well yesterday I wrote to them, asking for news and not only they give me a negative response... (after they also said they forgot about me) but.... THE WROTE MY GODDAMIT NAME WRONG!
Like my email has my name in it, I presented my self and I closed the same mail with my signature. Yet they write a completly wrong name.
Like wtf!!! you can't even look for my name? it feels like they don't even know who I was.
I can say I'm lucky not to work for them.6 -
