Zig needs to get its shit together frankly.

I know the guy wants to perfect his little design, but has he never considered the fact that the shifting sands of perfection will never align for him?

Instead of working on making progress with the design he already established, he just keeps going back and changing fundamental parts as he sees fit and never making any forwards prog-

oh my god he's me.

"We weren't able to come up with a solution before because we were using GPT-3, and now GPT-5 has come out which is so much better"

"Even if the issue's unique, it's the context that matters. Had we put in a higher level prompt, we would've fixed this issue already"

"We absolutely need to implement an AI-first system because Amazon laid off so many engineers because of AI, it must mean that we are not using it properly."

"I'm gonna put a $1000 into trying Devin, and if it doesn't work, we're gonna keep trying over and over until we eventually reach the solution"

sigh....

Burned out but trapped at work for next 4-6 weeks - need survival tips

I'm 31y/o software dev and I'm completely fried and need advice on how to hang on until I can quit.

After 5 months job hunting, I landed a role that turned into a nightmare. 6 months of being bounced between different teams/scopes/projects with impossible deadlines and covering for incompetent managers/colleagues has left me burned out. Problem is, I'm finalizing a mortgage and can't quit or take sick leave without messing up income verification stage. Need to survive 4-6 more weeks.

Work is toxic and unpredictable - not enough resources given, blaming, shifting priorities, undefined tasks, endless meetings. Fake sense of urgency. Never feeling a sense of completion - there is always something extra that comes up. Documenting everything to have paper trail in case shit hits the fan, but honestly it feels like I'm at war daily and it's exhausting. I'm weeks behind on everything.

I have ADHD and my usual meds (18mg Concerta/10-20mg Lisdexamphetamine of Adixemin brand) aren't working anymore. Im able to fall asleep only after taking 0.2-0.3mg of Xanax or smoking some THC/CBD flowers. Constant brain fog, shot memory, never feel rested. Maybe 2-3 productive hours max daily before I become useless - either depressed or too wired and too anxious to function.

Already tried bunch of supplements (all possible forms magnesium, vitamin D, fish oil, my supplements drawer has like 60 different bottles), cleaned up diet, cut dairy/nicotine/alcohol/caffeine, taking strategic vacation days here and there in beginning or ending of a week.

I also suspected some allergies, tried out quercetine + vitamin c + all possible anti allergy meds - didnt help. I even suspected inflammation - tried curcumin and all other stuff - useless.

Anyone dealt with extreme burnout while trapped in a job? How do you function when your tank is empty but quitting isn't an option?

Only thing that helps is that I work fully remotely. Exercise would help but I cant force myself to do it.

Once the mortgage closes, I'm gone. Get a less stressful job lined up. Just need to survive until then without falling apart completely.

Oh my goooooooooood vibe coding is sooo bad

Holy fucking shit I'm actually losing my mind

Cursor is nothing but a glorified slop generator. It just fucking yaps and yaps and it generates shit upon shit. Yet NOTHING works properly

It all looks impressive but its all a shallow house of cards of bullshit

To be fair, I'm trying to make it write a simple compiler with an x86 JIT backend. Absolutely not a simple task, but come oonnnnnnn. It just goes in circles, over and over and over

It's exactly as I imagined. Just like ChatGPT, if it failed 2 times, it will never recover and you should just start a new conversation to clear the poisoned context. For a half hour I've been trying to get to compile a program which prints hello world. It just can't do it. No matter what, the compiled program just always returns 42 and nothing else (or segfaults)

It's just fucking AI slop. It LOOKS impressive until you actually go a bit deeper and you realize its all vapid bullshit

"Can't you just write an if so the failing queue kinda restarts and processes the disappearing job when the bug occurs?"

No, you dense fuck. We've been over this every time you bring up this rotten, diseased garbage of a project. The queue does not work because the project was developed with a PHP version that was already EOL at the time, in an old framework that was also EOL at the time by the way, surely because someone told the brainless intern to "just copy paste from another project and change a couple of stuff" probably (that wouldn't be you? No? You sure?) and the queue fails because of a bug with the framework itself and I am NOT going to waste my time trying to decipher what the fuck this c programmer was trying to achieve with these 1600 lines of code in a single method. Yes I've seen the flowchart. No it still makes no fucking sense.

It reads from a csv. Updates some mysterious and undocumented mongodb collections. Some mysql tables as well. It also updates some fucking text files for good measure too. Text files. Oh, and It also connects to a third party API and does even more changes based on the responses. There are PHP IIFEs all over the place. Property names so short you'd think we were trying to save up on space but that clearly isn't the case, is it?

And am I expected to somehow unfuck this while babysitting the rest of the devs, write some fucking documents so that you can justify asking for more money because of your own technical debt fuckups, handle nearly all deployments, unfuck more doomed projects that were never stable or documented?

Can't wait to leave this shithole of a company. You can't attract talent. You can't retain talent and you actually made all the competent devs quit with your bullshit.

Now I'm the only senior, tech lead, devops, sysadmin and you want me to take on pm duties as well since the other pm left? Fuck. Right. Off.

There was this text in the game that, according to platform's rules, was supposed to be displayed verbatim. One of the languages had these “” opening / closing quotation marks. The problem was that instead of the text reading “some_text” there seemed to be a space in there “ some_text”. Since the rules are specific - no alterations whatsoever, a report was made. It turned out later the issue was due to kerning.
The chosen solution for that was to use "some_text”.
What the fuck? For one, there rule was that there are to be no alterations to the text. Then there's the other thing of this "” being just plain wrong.
It's like writing
```
main()
{
end
```
WTF are you doing?

> These "AI doomers," as they've become known, > represent a growing faction within the artificial intelligence community convinced that humanity is running out of time to implement safeguards against potentially catastrophic AI systems.

Also rock music will be the death of civilization and turn our kids into satan-worshiping pedophile. A friend of mine killed himself because of dungeon and dragon and I lost my mummy to candycrush

I swear, people can't recognize a social panick when they see one.

Classic micromanagement.

My internet connection was kinda bad and I needed to have meetings with the IT manager about handovers with hosting stuff. So we decided to have me record videos of whatever is necessary. Now I hear from one of the bosses videos aren't good enough, we need meetings. And record the fucking things again. Seriously...

They just want to make me do redundant shit for the next three days until I am finished with this job on Wednesday.

I did some research about what LLM has the best deep search capability since I pay for 5 of them (GPT-5, Perplexity, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Grok 4, Claude Opus 4.1).

Horizontal: the LLM that valuated the answer. (GPT-3 is o3).
Vertical: the LLM that gave the anser.

Interesting is of course, to what question, and what are the answers? I will research several questions (5) and will evaluate them all and will share it as a site later.

Perplexity should be the best regarding this. But after some usage I started doubting. If you would care about speed - yeah, could be.

Soon I'll have a in depth results for you so it'll easier to pick one if you don't want to end up as i do with 5 of them.

Good dev: test suites, documentation, tracking

results: decent coverage, more predictable, more maintainable, saves time and money, accountable to stakeholders, happier team thanks to transparency

environment: matured middle-sized to bigger company who takes things seriously (because they usually have to if they work in a heavily regulated sector)

Bad dev: idgaf attitude, let's just run with it and see what happens flow, go for bare minimum happy path

results: a new bug at every possible situation, mystery bugs, an endlessly-growing backlog where people in the team are so depressed no one cares what ticket to take on, morale goes down crapshoot and so does code

environment: start-ups who want quick wins and make money-based decisions only and whose budget is being guarded by the higher-ups

I've worked with a bad dev before and also with a good dev and I appreciate the difference. lol. Nightmare.

.rep:

Fixing old bits of code for my build tool so I can extend the damn thing and I'm throwing away so much shit. Can't stop man.

Pretty crazy as this code is, IIRC, 2 to 4 years old at most. And I am sure that I was feeling like an absolute legend when I wrote this ignominious fucking garbage, as in it is quite clever, just in a downright dogshit kind of way.

So I'm hacking away at this eternal monument to the abstract gonorrhea-infected bleeding and fully dilated defecating anus that are my past decisions, and I'm wondering, have I actually learned to write simpler code or am I just gonna repeat this process a few years down the road and get stuck in some kind of funky chronodisplacement self-sodomizing limbo.

Well, for one, I *am* very much simplifying the code because most of it I'm just outright deleting, and what I have to replace or rewrite is fairly succinct, so I'm feeling good about that. Second, and get this, now I have the advantage that I've actually used this piece of shit for a few years so I have the benefit of knowing where I fucked up from a user perspective, which is invaluable.

Yeah, I think I nailed it this time. No more fucking around; pinky-promise.

jmp .rep

rust async is one of those things that is just so ugly

that you think you should wait and in 10 years maybe they'll actually make it not ugly

reminds me of myself training myself for callback hell only for promises to then come out and it's like why did I the pain then and adapted. 80% of CSS I learned is also deprecated now, and I didn't bother to commit to brain the new stuff cuz I'm thinking like "well they'll change it anyway" even though that's sort of irrational. not like I can predict what will get deprecated

Is this so different from tech startup presentation?

I'm using perplexity for a few days now and want to do a shout out to the assistant. My favorite function works also on the free version without ads: by holding the home button you can ask something and it automatically includes screenshot. That's handy, it understand every meme and you can extract the text of any image or document you're looking at. You can fact check statement made in a rant for example. I actually pay for it but didn't configure on my phone yet without knowing, and thus I can say, the free version assistant is very convenient. Regarding pro features review, will post something end of month. Because, its main functionality is like deep search, but everyone has that now. Is it better? We'll see.

https://perplexity.ai/page/... love these articles. Those researchers have too much money to spend anyway. About AI companions, could be very well be true. They're not good enough yet, but I could prefer it as well. They destroyed everything with identity politics and anti human mindset. Not fault of AI. I already prefer internet relationships above real life ones. I had such a busy social life before, it was actually terrible thinking back obout it. I really started to hate society since covid and love my detached life. Some times my parents come over and make me realize that world exist snapping out my peaceful quiet, happy and stable life. Go away with your dystopia. "We are rebuilding the fire place in our house, not the way we want, but in a way the insurance company want so it's practically impossible to get a fire, and then we insure it.". Wraaaaahhhhh. That kinda fucked up logic. I can't stand it. "That's just how it works.". Waaaaaah. Society in a nutshell.

This perplexity news site is a good way to stay up-to-date tho, can read it for hours.

Answering the call of nature earlier, in a bright, airy bathroom, with the sound of late-summer birdsong drifting in through the window, I found my thoughts likewise drifting to matters of courtship.

I shall take the air on the sea front this afternoon, in the company of a flaxen-haired young lady of my acquaintance who jilted me most cruelly some years ago.

But my companion at dinner will be another young lady, who is scintillating company despite being regrettably afflicted with rickets.

Lest I be thought a cad, I must hasten to point out that at no point would I risk finding myself alone with either of these ladies, and thus their reputations are perfectly safe.

Crypto Tracking and Investigation Platform: How ChainX Hacker Solutions Helps Recover Stolen Assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, USD

The rapid growth of cryptocurrency has created new possibilities for investment and digital finance, but it has also given rise to fraudulent activities and sophisticated scams. From fake trading platforms to phishing schemes and unauthorized wallet access, investors around the world have lost significant amounts of Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, and other digital currencies. When funds are stolen, many victims assume they are gone for good, but with the right tools and expertise, recovery can be achieved through advanced crypto tracking and investigation.

ChainX Hacker Solutions is a trusted recovery company that specializes in tracing and investigating stolen cryptocurrency. Their services are designed to follow the complex trails scammers create when moving assets across multiple wallets, decentralized exchanges, or through mixing services. Every transaction leaves a trace on the blockchain, and with the right technology, these digital footprints can be identified and analyzed. ChainX Hacker Solutions applies forensic blockchain tools combined with investigative strategies to uncover these movements and provide victims with a real path toward recovery.

What makes their platform effective is the integration of advanced tracking systems with experienced investigators who understand the techniques fraudsters use. Scammers often attempt to hide behind layers of anonymity, spreading assets through various wallets or jurisdictions. However, transparency is an inherent part of blockchain technology, and ChainX Hacker Solutions leverages that transparency to detect unusual transaction flows and link stolen assets back to identifiable patterns.

Victims who attempt recovery on their own usually encounter significant obstacles. Fraudulent platforms disappear after stealing funds, and individuals lack the technical knowledge or access to tools necessary to track movements on the blockchain. Law enforcement agencies, while important in the overall process, may not have specialized crypto investigation resources to act quickly. This is why turning to a professional recovery company becomes essential. ChainX Hacker Solutions provides that expertise, working closely with clients to investigate their cases thoroughly and increase the chances of successful recovery.

Credibility is another critical factor. Many fraudulent services claim to offer recovery but exploit victims further. ChainX Hacker Solutions stands apart as a verified recovery company with a proven track record. Their approach is based on transparency, clear communication, and professionalism. Clients are guided through the process step by step, ensuring they are kept informed while investigations progress. This focus on integrity has built trust among victims seeking real recovery solutions.

In addition to tracking and recovery, ChainX Hacker Solutions also provides clients with guidance on prevention. They educate investors about common scam tactics, highlight the red flags to watch for, and share best practices for securing wallets and exchanges. This ensures that beyond recovering stolen assets, clients are better equipped to protect their funds in the future.

Crypto recovery is a complex process, but with the right partner, it becomes possible. ChainX Hacker Solutions has positioned itself as a leader in crypto tracking and investigation, helping victims of Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, and other asset thefts reclaim their financial security.

How to Recover Your Stolen Bitcoin, Ethereum, USD or Other Cryptocurrency with ChainX Hacker Solutions Trusted Crypto Investigation Services

Cryptocurrency has transformed how people trade and invest, offering both opportunities and risks. Alongside the growth of Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, and other digital assets, there has also been a sharp rise in fraud, scams, and cyber theft. Fake investment platforms, fraudulent brokers, and phishing attacks are just some of the methods used to steal funds from unsuspecting investors. When this happens, victims are often left uncertain about where to turn. While blockchain transactions cannot be reversed in the traditional sense, stolen cryptocurrency can still be traced and in many cases recovered with the right expertise.

ChainX Hacker Solutions is a trusted name in crypto investigation and recovery services. Their team specializes in tracking stolen digital assets through advanced blockchain analysis and forensic techniques. Scammers often move stolen funds across multiple wallets, decentralized exchanges, and mixers in an attempt to hide their activity. With sophisticated tools and investigative experience, ChainX Hacker Solutions can follow these trails, uncovering connections and mapping the flow of funds to make recovery possible.

Victims of crypto theft frequently encounter challenges when trying to resolve the situation alone. Fraudulent platforms usually vanish after stealing funds, and contacting them directly leads nowhere. Law enforcement agencies, while important, may lack the blockchain expertise to conduct effective investigations quickly. This is why recovery specialists are necessary. ChainX Hacker Solutions bridges this gap by combining digital investigation, ethical hacking practices, and global resources to improve the chances of recovering lost assets.

Credibility is a critical concern in the recovery industry. Unfortunately, there are fraudulent entities that claim to help victims but are only looking to exploit them further. Working with a verified company like ChainX Hacker Solutions ensures that clients are engaging with professionals who have built a reputation on transparency and proven results. Every case is handled individually, with clear communication and guidance provided to the client at each stage. This professionalism has established them as a reliable partner for anyone dealing with stolen cryptocurrency.

In addition to recovery services, ChainX Hacker Solutions also provides educational support to help prevent future losses. They advise clients on how to identify suspicious trading platforms, recognize the signs of a scam, and secure their digital wallets more effectively. This proactive approach empowers victims not only to recover from current losses but also to safeguard their investments moving forward.

Recovery is not always immediate and requires persistence, but with the right investigative partner, victims can take meaningful steps toward reclaiming their stolen assets. ChainX Hacker Solutions has consistently demonstrated that even in complex cases where funds have been moved extensively, there are ways to trace them back and pursue recovery.

For victims of Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, or other cryptocurrency theft, seeking professional assistance is the most effective path to resolution. ChainX Hacker Solutions offers trusted investigation services that bring expertise, accountability, and real results to the recovery process.

CONNECT WITH SPARTAN TECH GROUP RETRIEVAL YOUR SOLUTION FOR CRYPTOCURRENCY RECOVERY

When I began searching for a new apartment, I never imagined how quickly excitement could turn into heartbreak. After weeks of looking, I came across what seemed like the perfect listing on Facebook Marketplace. The apartment looked incredibly bright and modern with a balcony and a city view. Best of all, the rent was far below what similar places in the area were going for. It felt like I had finally found my dream home. The supposed landlord told me he was overseas for work and could not meet in person. He promised to secure the property if I sent a $5,500 deposit in cryptocurrency. At first, I hesitated. The request seemed unusual, but the listing looked so legitimate, and I did not want to miss out. After convincing myself it was safe, I transferred the funds. That was the moment everything collapsed. The landlord vanished, no responses, no calls, nothing. My excitement quickly turned into dread. After doing some digging, I learned the photos had been stolen directly from a real estate website, and the entire listing was fake. I was devastated. Not only had I lost a significant amount of money, but my moving plans were left in shambles. In desperation, I contacted Spartan Tech Group Retrieval. From the start, they treated my case with professionalism and genuine concern. They explained how they could track cryptocurrency across the blockchain and reassured me that there was still hope. Unlike others I had spoken to, they did not make me feel foolish for falling into a scam. Instead, they gave me confidence and clarity when I needed it most. Their team immediately went to work tracing the stolen funds. To my amazement, they managed to follow the trail and successfully recover every single dollar. The relief I felt when the money was returned is beyond words. Without Spartan Tech Group Retrieval, I would have been left with nothing but regret and a very painful lesson. Thanks to them, not only were my funds restored, but my moving plans were saved as well. This experience taught me to be far more cautious when dealing with online listings, especially on platforms like Facebook Marketplace. I am incredibly grateful to Spartan Tech Group Retrieval for turning what could have been a disaster into a story of hope and recovery. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who has fallen victim to an online scam.
