Shortly after joining the $company, I found this issue where if you connect a certain peripheral to the console, you can use it to do weird stuff that isn't really a thing on consoles. I documented my finding by creating a bug report.
...the bug report had been closed by the test lead w/ a message stating 'The game doesn't support the peripheral. Won't Fix'.
Fucking moron. Well... personally I don't give a fuck whether the issue is fixed. For one, though, it's !that tester's call - it's the devs' call. Seconds thing about this is - if the peripheral is !supported, then how about fucking disabling it, instead of letting the game intercept input from it, which can /* && does, as it turns out */ lead to unintended behavior?
I kind of wish the game had an SQL injection vulnerability, so I could create a report of it just to see whether the retard closes that one too w/ 'The game doesn't support code injection. Won't Fix'.
FFS.

I got hired in as a senior engineer and, after getting adjusted to the new job, I suggested some pretty big process changes for a big year long project we're working on.

I convinced the manager and team to not continue our practice of dozens of independent project repos where we repeat a lot of the same .NET code, and instead have all our services in one big monolithic repo specific to this domain. I build out the docker compose infrastructure so we could build everything using local Kafka and Mongo (previously devs always relied on the cloud dev environments for both).

It's streamlined, and still a bit clunky because I didn't want to change too much, but I think it will be a significant gain with a project that's this big.

We're already seeing a lot of issues that could have been swept under with the old process of tons of independent services.

Still, I struggle to care. We had layoffs in November, the logistics industry is still struggling, my manager is still using LLMs for stories and coding .. and although he did fix a bug in our Kakfa libraries pretty quickly using copilot, elsewhere it just seems like we're getting big messes of stuff. Even I'm auto-generating all the unit tests and not bothering to even look at them anymore.

I've been here six months. I bet I'll see this go into production. I hope it's not a disaster. I'm struggling to care.

When I applied for the AWS re:Invent 2025 All Builders Welcome Grant, I honestly didn’t expect to get selected.

But a single email changed everything.

In this video, I share my real journey of getting selected for the AWS re:Invent All Builders Welcome Grant 2025, including how I discovered the opportunity, what AWS actually looks for in the application, and why community involvement and networking matter more than most people realize.

JoyRant build 50.

I don’t know who else is still using JoyRant but according to TestFlight there are currently 73 users (wtf?!).

The new version doesn’t ignore the cert anymore because it’s been fixed.

And the new highlight is: auto-retry!
If a Slim Shady Error occurs, the app will retry up to 5 times until giving up and showing the error.

It’s really smooth again now. What a difference!

The retry feature is implemented on the SwiftDevRant SDK and is currently set to 5 by default.

@retoor if you want to use it, just update to the latest version 2.3.0
It’s better than just hiding the error because as a user you don’t need to manually repeat the request.

Have fun!

Have I ever told you how I found this hilarious && stupid debug feature in one of my old $company's released games?

It was during the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean era. I had very little to do w/ the actual $project_0, but was tasked to test it, briefly, so I was aware of its existence.

Later on, when I was testing $project_1, I would test the chat _a lot_. So much, in fact, that I purchased a keyboard that I would connect to the Android devices to help w/ the whole testing.

Just for fun, I downloaded the $project_0 from the Google Play Store && started messing w/ it using the newly purchased keyboard.

...turned out that a debug feature had been unintentionally left in the game. During the tutorial, you could press '0' on the keyboard to skip it...

Nothing major, to be sure, but still, fucking hilarious. Given how the $project_0 had already been left to die a slow death && was no longer in development, I mentioned the issue to the PM as a curiosity.

Too bad the original programmer was no longer working for the $company.

I'm sure he'd have a 'WTF?' moment.

I have discovered! Thaaaaat... you shouldn't link your hobby github on your Linkedin.. 'cause.. yeah... I recently found out that it will give employers a horrible impression of you within seconds, such as: "Wait, this guy has just been writing throwaway code. How can I trust he will be able to write production code right now?".

It's like a sales pitch... you lose someone's attention in a manner of seconds.. and no one's going to have the patience to sit there and figure out your story like a good samaritan. Time crunch. Money. Arriba arriba. Andale, andale! lol

:inspired by A.I. conversation:

I am writing this to express my sincere gratitude and to share my experience with Wizard James Recovery. After falling victim to a scam/technical error that resulted in the loss of 1.9 BTC, I felt completely hopeless. I had been told by many that once cryptocurrency leaves your wallet, it is gone forever.
However, after reaching out to Wizard James Recovery, the situation changed entirely. From the first consultation, their team was:
* Professional and Transparent: They clearly explained the recovery process and the likelihood of success without giving me false hope.
* Highly Skilled: Their technical expertise in blockchain tracking and recovery is truly impressive.
* Communicative: I was kept informed at every stage of the process, which helped ease the immense stress I was under.
Thanks to their dedication and specialized tools, I was able to successfully recover my funds. If you find yourself in a similar situation where you think your digital assets are lost, I cannot recommend Wizard James Recovery highly enough. They are the real deal in an industry where it’s hard to know who to trust. This is their personal Whatsapp/Cell number: + 4 4 7 4 1 8 3 6 7 2 0 4

everybody in the fucking company is so fucking tired of this client's bullshit!

2 developers quit their job cause of this retard and 1 got fired.

1 more developer has given a notice that he's quitting this project cause of the shithead and 1 female developer is also debating of quitting.

i am being psyop'd by the client who fucks with my mind!

the client is SO fucking rude towards everybody.

the biggest ego maniac retard i have ever seen!

if anything doesnt go by how he imagined it, he doesnt wanna hear it.

he offended the official Microsoft engineers who were trying to provide us support on Azure DevOps Cloud, saying "Microsoft are u gonna help us or do i need to ask Google?"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

what a fucking retard!

one of the senior engineers who worked on the project for 13 years, had quit his job because of that retard!

then he offended the most important lead and senior engineer who works on the most complex project for about 15-20 years. if this guy leaves, the whole project will collapse the company will go bankrupt.

the retard told me to ignore this senior lead engineer's suggestions on a task that CANNOT BE DONE, and that i have to do it by force by using a paid premium version of Copilot AI to fix the whole fucking enterprise project that has over 1 million lines of code!

the client basically indirectly told the most senior engineer to fuck off and that i need to solve the whole project just with AI cause he believes AI is the future.

now the latest email of this client, is that he said VIBE CODING is the new strategy we all have to follow!

our CTO is fucking laughing and lead engineers are getting pissed THE FUCK OFFf!!!!!!!!!!!!

The whole fucking infrastructure is burning in flames and retard is only putting oil on this fire!!!

The best way to avoid a psychological breakdown after experiencing infidelity is to make sure you are not just assuming your partner is cheating, as a policy , don’t say they are cheating until you have gathered proof of their act, confrontation without evidence is just unacceptable, I contacted this LEGIT HACKER {Email;jbeespyhack @ gmalL . com when I was in the eye of the storm with my Ex husband i saw all his mails, Skype, Instagram, messages, kik, Facebook and even pictures he exchanged with his lover, but it was easier at the end really, having proof helps a lot. you never going to regret working with him, talk to him via jbeespyhack @ gmalL . com}

Sweet, theoretical examples in study book: "Oh, we have a nice, simple, hierarchical system".

Reality: "Oh, we have an incredibly complex system made more and more complex on an already convoluted series of layered ESB SOAs that are dependent and interlinked on cloud systems, which use complex database systems, orchestrations, and so on...". How do I describe it? Layered hell, I would say. lol

Something like this:

How do we debug that? Well... we could buy extremely expensive cloud logging! Pros and cons... lol. Already losing my mind.

It's quite annoying. lol

I didn't believe Bitcoin recovery was possible until I worked with Trace Hacker's Crypto Recovery ‪+447355702876‬

I hope this review gets to as many as possible because I am sure it will save many. On March 15, I received a message on Telegram inviting me to join a Cryptocurrency investment group. At first, I thought it was a harmless invitation. I joined and began to see how a specific crypto and forex trader was helping many people and even gifting out Bitcoin to his loyal followers. I was thrilled; many people in the group were reporting their daily successes and how they were earning a substantial amount. I was jealous; I saw people making a lot of money, but not me. I became furious and decided to contact the group's admin, not realizing I had fallen for their trap. That Telegram channel was a hoax, controlled by an organized team of scammers. Within 3 months of being on that platform, I had given out a whopping 11 Bitcoin in total. I was lost when I was logged out of the investment website and blocked from accessing their Telegram channel. I tried all the means I could think of at that moment, all to no avail. It went from days to weeks, and I still couldn't get back my lost Bitcoin. I was on Medium when I came across a review about TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY. There were quite a few of them, but TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY caught my attention.
I copied their email ( support @ tracehackerscryptorecovery . com), filed a report, and my task was attended to with utmost urgency.
After back and forth with this team of cybersecurity experts, TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY successfully traced the Bitcoin to the scammers' wallet, and it was successfully reclaimed. The team of TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY was incredibly helpful in recovering my lost Bitcoin.
