One of the devs was let go after his probation period. Today was his last day. I didn't review a lot of his code, but it seemed to be fine. I'm not sure if his output was just slow.

Either he wasn't working out or the startup decided maybe they shouldn't have hired new people yet. There's been a freeze for a while and this guy started in October. The company's revenue targets keep slipping. Profitability was moved from 2026 to 2027.

We're on a slowly sinking ship.

So I am thinking about doing joke magical effects in a game. I see memes online about "testicular torsion" as a joke magic spell. Which on its own would be hilarious. Then I thought there needs to be a boss or class of characters that are immune even though they are dudes.

So I got this image of a chad boss you are fighting. You decide to cast testicular torsion on him. He makes a grunting noise and seems to be invigorated by the spell. Even some of his stats improve.

Then he says, "Jokes on you! I am into that shit!"

AI can do fancy autocomplete and generate code from prompts but the fucking jetbrains IDE needs me to manually set the fucking SDK java version shit in 3 different places? I feel like I don't remember doing this toil in the past.

On the one hand I feel validated to find a slack thread of seniors and up also irritated, remarkign it's not intuitive, and asking about this , and thankful to see the 3 screenshots there.

Yes I'm salty as fuck

Fucking hell. My third email to OpenAI in a week.

First one: performance sucks! Got general advise on what model to code. I already use the mini one and worked fine before.

Second one: when will there be a new database? I needed smth quick critically and it failed instant. Outdated shit. 2023 ffs!! No answer, only a comment, oh yeah, that must have really sucked and we understand. And.. Nothing. Only information that the 3.5 model was even more outdated (2021). I didn't accept answer and wrote complaint back.

Third one: performance again. Requests can take up a minute using agent api. Literally unusable. I thought it was my code, had to he, no, also, a former older project (retoorded.molodetz.nl) is slow AF too.

I told them that I don't believe that every customer has such bad experience and I want it to taken care off. I'm sure they can do *click* somewhere. I told that that I would leave but I invested so much time..

Something is not going alright there. Agent suff keeps staying beta, no new database planned, performance issues, including their own chatbot..

I'm just pissed, because I waste 40 a month or something on their shit. (btw, 40 is a lot usage, daily extensive use)

this fine Tuesday afternoon a teacher came to my door and gave me free drugs, totally unexpectedly

I keep meaning to buy some drugs but this isn't even the first instance of being given free drugs... my drugs are exponentially multiplying and it's frustrating me because I wanna buy specific drugs but now I have to go through all these other drugs 😩

I guess a benefit of knowing drug addicts is they keep trying to quit said drugs so keep offloading them on you... before they give in and go and buy more drugs. then try to quit again. so they give you more free drugs.

Now that kiki has taken the L from their "Starve to death challenge"

I wanna start my own "STARVE To DEATH challenge"

I am gonna start the day with a bowl of milk and cereal, two apples and a protein shake.

Then for lunch I'm gonna eat a double cheese crust pizza with diet coke (duh)

For dinner I'm gonna eat a big bowl of mac and cheese and then before sleeping, I am gonna eat ice cream.

Good plan, right?

Got moved to higher prio project

- disastrous security
- Built with Knockout.js in 2016
- entire folders of business logic duplicated 3 times to allow for the business requirements of separate regional branches to evolve independently
- Application server in ASP.NET Core MVC but the *real* backend is a WCF service
- there is an outstanding ticket for a list view that fails to load because the API response exceeds the .NET serializer's maximum length. The proposed solution is to stream it down to the client which then collects it into a JS array and renders a DOM node for all 6k rows
- mgmt wants to scale up to the entire European region, not with a single installation but still with a single codebase
- the Germans want interactivity with Relay
- prod database copied around and cleaned to establish new environments, migrations lost to time
- read-only queries have a tendency to deadlock

ye ok so officially rust doesn't have a headless browser I can use

there is two.

one will randomly just throw errors totally randomly at you, about some event not coming back or the connection being closed. which means every single unwrap for every single "wait for this element to exist on the page" or trying to access an element is literally a blow-up minefield

the repo is filled with small issue tickets like how the docs keep pointing to 404 pages but I worked around that by just brute forcing everything with debug logging (despite data types being missing / not where they should be in return objects...)

and then there's apparently whatever selenium driver is and that has half as many stars and even worse sounding issue tickets and I already spent 6 hours writing code that took me 20 minutes to write in JavaScript like 8 months ago so I think I don't want to write another stupid headless browser script for it to be utterly useless

I guess I could just have loops and potentially caching. so if it has a mysterious event or connection error, try again! that's literally what I did with fucking reqwest. I don't even know why that nonsense is broken. I have thousands of proxy'ed network connections going and some of them randomly hang and I'm reasonably sure it's reqwest just not cleaning something up

I really wonder if rust people have brain aids. they wanted it to be safe so they just don't get safety exercises in for their brains, and do nonsense like this where they can't go from level 0 safety brain to ohno now I have to do networking and turns out that's extremely error-prone and needs brain-can-account-for-safety-9000 level and they just can't do it because no brain exercises make them all smooth and not wrinkly like everyone else gets in the skull jello by actually using the brain jello

I'm officially at a point of writing software that I know this snippet of code will be absolute hell for the next developer to maintain.

Doesn't matter how well I document it, doesn't matter how well I break down the problem.

The `why` of the problem is gonna drive the maintainer crazy later. The most dangerous part, it might as well be me in the coming months.

RIP the next developer, who will have to maintain my spaghetti (includes me).

I got a task to create an emulator which can connect to the PLC and literally make it possible for the PLC devs to develop their code way before the machine is built. Half of them completely refused the idea to use plc db values instead of the raw inputs so I can actually read and write as well.
All that refused are the 45+ guys.
The reasons:
~ You keep your little code on your computer.
~ I won't reference something twice
~ I never use DB's values as inputs
~ I am always working from paper sketch
~ We just do approximately and the commission guys will align.
~ This is waste of time.

hmmm think I've been using chatrooms as a form of divination

TIL divination is triggers to make you realize stuff in your subconscious

I would sit in chatrooms or random forums I guess and use people as writing prompts or thinking prompts often. I was very addicted to it and I didn't know why, but it made me feel very satisfied to process stuff with my brain

kicker is I wrote a website that turned some "game icons" into tarot cards, and you press a button to draw a card randomly... I don't like tarot cards and all that nonsense (too repetitive and restrictive), but I've oddly been addicted to this little game icons website I made at some point

should get more icons... I get bored once I start recognizing them. think I only put in like 400 and maybe there's like 4000 I could've put in. maybe now there's way more on the site I got these from cuz I made this RNG site like 5 years ago

text isn't as good for this I think. maybe AI writing prompts, it just throws out random concepts? I don't know how you'd do that. making text "human impactful" seems difficult to do

HIRE BITCOIN RECOVERY EXPERT — DIGITAL HACK RECOVERY

On 05/01/2025, I found myself dealing with a company called Bitcoin Mining Pool, and it turned out to be one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. I initially invested 20,000 Euros with them, hoping to make some returns from their mining operations. At first, everything seemed fine, and I was optimistic about my investment. However, things quickly took a sharp turn for the worse.Without any warning, my account was suddenly locked. I couldn’t understand why, as there were no prior alerts or explanations given. I contacted their customer support multiple times, but all I got were vague answers or, in many cases, no response at all. It became clear that they had no intention of helping. After several frustrating days, I attempted to withdraw my funds, only to be hit with an unexpected demand: they insisted that I pay an additional ransom before I could access my own money. No legitimate reason was provided for this, and there was no way to resolve the situation. It felt like I was being scammed outright, and I had no control over the situation.At that point, I realized that the Bitcoin Mining Pool was most likely a fraudulent operation. I reported them to the proper authorities, but I still had no idea how to recover my funds. That’s when I came across Digital Hack Recovery during my research on how to recover stolen money.

DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY - THE BEST RECOVERY EXPERTS

I’m a woman based in Cleveland, Ohio, and as a data analyst, I’ve always prided myself on making calculated, well-researched decisions when it comes to my investments. I’m careful about where I put my money, whether in stocks, real estate, or even emerging markets like cryptocurrency. So when I came across a promising crypto platform, I thought it was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. I was casually scrolling through TikTok one evening when I first heard about this platform. It seemed legitimate, with lots of positive testimonials and high returns being promised. After reviewing everything carefully, looking at user feedback, features, and even doing some basic background checks, I decided to invest $200,000. It was a calculated risk, or so I thought. I was feeling pretty confident, believing I had made an informed decision based on the data. However, things quickly took a turn for the worse. The platform started experiencing delays in withdrawals, and customer support went silent. At first, I thought it was just a technical issue, but as days turned into weeks and my funds were still tied up, I began to worry. I eventually realized the worst-case scenario: I’d been scammed. The platform disappeared entirely, taking my investment with it. It was gut-wrenching. All that time and effort I’d put into research seemed pointless, and I was left wondering how I’d missed the red flags. Feeling frustrated and defeated, I turned to YouTube in search of answers. As I was watching videos related to crypto scams, I came across a comment that mentioned Digital Tech Guard Recovery. Someone had shared their experience of recovering lost funds with their help. Curious, I did some more research, and everything I found about Digital Tech Guard Recovery seemed promising. I was hesitant at first, but given my situation, I decided to reach out. Digital Tech Guard Recovery quickly took over the process.

BITCOIN & CRYPTOCURRENCY RECOVERY AGENCY / BOTNET CRYPTO RECOVERY

This entire experience has been nothing short of overwhelming and deeply frustrating for me. A little over a month ago, I made a substantial investment exceeding $172,000,00 USD through an online brokerage that was recommended to me by a family friend. Initially, the situation appeared to be encouraging, with my investments showing promising growth and progress. However, everything took a dramatic and distressing turn when I attempted to withdraw my funds.

Suddenly, and without any warning, the broker began to withhold my earnings. To my shock, they insisted that I pay a hefty "membership fee" of $20,000 in order to have my account unfrozen, despite the fact that I had already fulfilled all of their stated requirements. When I sought clarification and questioned their sudden demand, they responded by insisting on additional payments, without providing any clear explanation or justification for their actions.

The situation escalated further when they began pressuring me to disclose the source of the funds I had invested. This demand made no sense to me; it had no relevance to my account or the transactions I had made. When I refused to comply with their intrusive request, they resorted to threats, warning me that they would blacklist me, citing that I allegedly still owed them money—despite my having paid every fee they had required.

I felt utterly trapped and overwhelmed by this entire ordeal. It was during this tumultuous time that a student of mine from Arizona, who had encountered a similar predicament, suggested that I reach out to a company called BOTNET CRYPTO RECOVERY. She shared her own positive experience with them, explaining how they had successfully assisted her in recovering her lost funds. Encouraged by her story, I decided to take the plunge and contact BOTNET CRYPTO RECOVERY, holding out hope for a resolution.

I am genuinely grateful that I made that decision. The team at BOTNET CRYPTO RECOVERY was incredibly professional, dedicated, and persistent throughout the entire recovery process. They provided me with guidance every step of the way, and thanks to their expertise and support, I was able to reclaim my full refund. I wholeheartedly encourage anyone who finds themselves in a similar unfortunate situation to consider reaching out to BOTNET CRYPTO RECOVERY (botnet crypto recovery . com). They truly came to my rescue and saved me from what could have been a devastating financial loss. Email them on: ( botnet crypto recovery @ groupmail dot com )

HOW TO HIRE A GENUINE CRYPTO RECOVERY SERVICE CONTACT SPARTAN TECH GROUP RETRIEVAL

All the time, I had believed in networking, but I never knew that a local crypto meetup would save me from financial disaster. Discussion at the event ranged from trading strategies to security tips, but one name cropped up repeatedly that sounded impressive: SPARTAN TECH GROUP RETRIEVAL. Many spoke about how that service had rescued them from lost wallets, forgotten passwords, and even cyber-attacks. I filed that away mentally but never thought I'd find myself in that position. That changed just weeks later. One morning, I went into my Bitcoin wallet and saw suspicious activity. My heart sank as I realized that $180,000 in crypto was on the line. Someone had access, and if I didn't act fast, I'd lose everything. Panic set in, and I scrambled to figure out how it happened: had I clicked a phishing link, was my private key compromised? No matter the cause, I needed help. And fast. That's when I remembered the crypto meetup. I scrolled through my notes and found SPARTAN TECH GROUP RETRIEVAL's name. With no time to waste, I sent a reply-my anxious and desperate words spilling into one frenetic sentence. They responded very fast and professionally. They immediately initiated an investigation into my wallet's transaction history and security logs. They were able to trace the breach and lock it, trying not to be late in recovering the stolen money. Then they worked around the clock for several days, coordinating tracking on the blockchain, forensic data recovery, and reinforcements of security. I barely slept, but at each and every stage, they kept reassuring me. Then came that call I was praying for: They had recovered my funds. Speechless. Relieved. Grateful. But SPARTAN TECH GROUP RETRIEVAL didn't just stop with the recovery, teaching me means of security practices, helped fortify the defense around my wallet, and making sure this does not happen again. I consider it one of the best I have done so far-attending that crypto meet-up. I might never have heard of SPARTAN TECH GROUP RETRIEVAL if it had not been that night, or the outcome worse. Now I do my best to spread the word. For a reason is their reputation preceding them, and personally I can vouch for their expertise, efficiency, and reliability.
