DevRant is slowly becoming jestdotty's diary

How can people use an OS with this double slash syntax, this is nothing but conceptual error in the making of an OS.
Bill Gates and his mate are a bunch of fucking dickhead.

Fuck this Windows shit, Fuck the EU govs who use this shit. SHAMEFUL.

@Lensflare I did had an abuse report for discord.app.molodetz.nl > it's just a proxy to fuck over awesomemeest. But abuse indeed, they're talking about all the crawlers. Imagine, the traffic is so high, even discord considers it abuse.

this is the first year doing taxes is uneventful... I am so freaked out by it

so I don't have to try to get access to my account on a website that randomly can't take in valid information for hours a day for 2-4 weeks?

the login just WORKED?! I didn't need to send a picture of my passport and the AI telling me I don't look like myself on suspicious as hell websites until I'm locked out?

it even PULLED PREVIOUS YEARS of information?

I have literally never had previous years pull ever succeed

here I was setting aside at least a full day at best but it's taken me under an hour

I have never heard of this and I am scared

government is too powerful if it suddenly figured out how to fix its technical issues. surveillance state now. omens of darker things to come. THE END IS NIGH

It is easy to recognize a real hacker. It is the Snek icon in their start menu.

Fuck @Lensflare. To everyone else, see you on Snek!

@Lensflare logged in once, disliked the star background and logged out. Bitch.

My god, I was the whole night cuddling and then I found out it was just my dick laying next to me. Akwaaard.

Even though I've earned peanuts my entire career, the stress of selling one phone is incomparable to how seamless software income came

Sure, management, deadlines and bugs are a pain in the ass missing in enterprise. The alternative involves sourcing from a reputable supplier, getting it to your end in one piece, praying for no defects both now and after sale, then the hardest part: finding a demand outlet. If you're rich, you rent a shop at a strategic location. If you're like me, online is your best shot. After pouring in tremendous amounts into ads or going organic, you have to sift through 100s of unserious trolls and convince the other person that they're better off buying off you than going offline anyway

But the essence of this post is that per successful sale after all this, the profit comparatively equals my daily wage as a software engineer. It amuses me more than it saddens me but I continue striving to eke out triumph. Almost everybody inside the market are more successful than I am, which makes it even funnier that I'm caught in the center of the Venn diagram of paupers across both vocations. On a more serious note, something doesn't add up in their apparent narrative. I suspect it's one of Money laundering, Sales volume, Robust customer base. or something else entirely

We recently merged a different department in our department and all 4 people are now in our office room (still comfortable space now).

But one of the new people plays his music on a JBL box and then uses a noise cancelling headset to listen to different music. Where is the respect for others :')

Update: I failed at the System Design interview.
Major facepalm as this was supposedly my wheelhouse, but I guess I underperformed.

This was step 3 of 5. You know the drill.

It took like 4 days to hear back from them, so I think it was not an immediate "NO" but a no still.

It hurts, because I was supposed to ace this, not fail. I was counting on me. So I kinda let myself down this time.

They were nice enough to give constructive feedback. Like 6 pros and 2 cons, but the cons were heavy on their eyes I suppose.

Anyways, kinda sad, I'll get over it.

Okay what is this shit.

You apply for a job, they dangle the carrot on you for over a month, cancel multiple appointments, finally you have an interview, they seem happy. Then they go on vacation two weeks.

In the end they end up rejecting me because of 'internal decisions'.

bull shit. Shit bull. Fuck cluck fuck muck.

I'm convinced Microslop is now 100% staffed by vibecoders, because what PM/dev/CTO/etc... with ANY real-life experience, in their right fucking mind would approve to forcefully change every user's theme for VSCode to a new one?!

(I mean i know why, they are desperate for validation because they dont actually do any real work, so they went full manager mode and wanted to show off their new “dark 2026” theme by forcing everyone to look at it)

What the fuck ms teams.

Adding your account...
Almost theeeeeeere...
Setting things uuuup...
Almooooooooost...

Thanks for hanging in there

What kinda fuckos. lol

Got a new job around 6months ago. At my old job, I did controls (which was mostly logic and device drivers) and we couldn’t pay for cursor/claude so I had never really used those tools. At my new job, everyone uses them and my boss is a power user. I now only do math too which is interesting.

I hate the LLM tools. I can’t learn the math from them, and their code is shit.

I hate that I mostly write PRDs and requirements files for the LLM to do for me.

Hello? Is anyone still here?

i shit too much

I give my opinion about vibe coding in the C reddit. Permanently banned for trolling. Moderators do not respond to me. I hate this leftist platform so much. Ban ban ban. Everything is a ban.

AI being infested everywhere reminds me of Halo 1 Flood. lol

Does this still work?

DLSS5 in games looks horrendous lmao

I hate searching for things and reading the top articles today. It's either mainstream crap or LLM generated. Some of it might not be LLM generated, but it reads that way because people use these things so much they write like them now!

So I wrote a simple web form that makes it easy to restrict searches by year ranges:

https://battlepenguin.com/tech/...

It's pretty amazing, being able to use modern search engines and actually find really interesting articles that would normally be lost to time.

high trust society but everything is a scam

Proving at @Lensflare that you still can create rants if you're powerful enough.

In the same way that you can look at tree rings and point to years when there was bad weather etc., I can look at my github contributions graph and point to sickness, death, and divorce.

May all the female devRanters out there have a happy Women's Day.

it's harder to tell between AI and people now... because people are just speaking like AI now wtf

SIGNAL
RESONATES

I think people are losing their damned mind. Weird fucking cadence. Short sentences. Why can't it be all one thought? So here's the thing that makes me want to scream. This isn't an AI problem, this is a people problem.

I can produce last generation Android Apps on my LeNovo x230 Linux and this comfortably, anyone else?

Website borked on viewing rants

now YouTube is giving me one of those disclaimer notes under a computerphile video saying "dead Internet theory" is a conspiracy theory...

what. how does that even make sense. so I guess we have to pretend there are no bots on the internet or something now

Pretty annoying when a programming language's constructs do things that are unintuitive, for example, Java substring:

str.substring(startIndex, endIndex); // oops, character at endIndex not included.

Or some other Python data science Google library (I used this at work) that decided their way is the best way, where they have a simple method but in the facade behind it is a nightmare monstrosity of complexity. How fun to debug or customize that!

Weird design decisions. They don't help because it makes them harder to immediately understand them.

I really hate truth tables. It feels like I'm cracking a safe like in the movie Army of Thieves, especially when I am given a complex Test Suite. lol. It's like I have to make all levers work in unison and none can fail.. kind of like The Semiconductor ASML machine. Not that bad, but still.
