If ChatGPT calls my problem a "classic" or it's solution a "subtle quirk of <framework>" one more fuckin time I'm gonna be the first human to murder an AI

Well it finally happened… I deleted the production DB 🤦🏼‍♂️

Rollback successful but lost over 3 hours of production data

I would like to apologize for everything I've said to all devRanters.

- Alexander, Kanye, SidThePajeet, etc

I have repurposed the Blockchain technology to something meaningful and fair. Therefore it will be a flop 😅 I'm open sourcing soon, just have some final tweaks to make

dev communities can be the most toxic as well as the most welcoming at the same time.

just depends on what your timing is. You can get a bunch of links to help debug your issue or you can get told to "kill yourself".

You never know.

I hate deprecations! Adopted a web project that was actively maintained until 2023, how can it already be so "legacy" that none of its npm scripts work anymore?

> Ok, the client is performing this HTTP request, it's missing some parameters, let's fix it... inspector has this handy initiator tab, lemme just BY THE RINGS WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS

I still refuse to believe anyone looked at this burning pile of shit you insist on calling a framework and was like "yeah this deserves to be released"

Modern smartphones: "Powerful", "marvelous", but corporate overlords dictate what you actually get to do with it.

They lock your bootloader and prevent you from installing third-party operating systems.[1] Now they are starting to block third-party app installation only in certain situations, but this will sure as hell escalate.[2]

They block you from using the MicroSD card properly or take away the memory card slot entirely, decide what you are allowed to screenshot[3], and they lock your user data (like browsing history and saved pages) away from yourself to "protect you" from imagined evils. But this "protection" is actually the curse.

They also refuse to implement features people ask for like always starting with the rear camera regardless of the last used camera[4] and let the user backed up saved pages[5]. Something as simple as turning the flashlight on and off while recording a video took over a decade for Samsung to implement when shouldn't have taken a single afternoon.

[1] Xiaomi prevents unlocking the bootloader but graciously allows it seven days after purchase. I believe that as the buyer, you should be able to install any operating system you like.
[2] (added through edit, hence last) Since Android 16, Google blocks APK installations during phone calls, supposedly to protect against scammers. But if history teaches us anything, it means this will quickly escalate and end with APKs being blocked completely or only installable through ADB, which requires an external computer and a USB cable.
[3] Google and Apple let app developers block users from taking screenshots. This is, for example, used by WhatsApp to prevent screenshots of profile pictures, even though everyone knows one should not put something in a visible spot on the Internet that one does not wish to be preserved. I believe people should have the freedom to screenshot anything that appears on their screen, like desktop operating systems (Windows and Linux) do. The buyer deserves to have the final say on a device they paid for.

The nightmare of all AI users is when this shows up: https://devrant.molodetz.nl/Screens...

The content what it said was even worse. Of course, it doesn't have the ability to do it. But imagine if it had, it was a false positive.

Just a normal workday for me (play with sound): https://devrant.molodetz.nl/2025063...

My remote job just ended

I was cited in a decent-ish journal article.
Feels like a win.

I use windows btw

Codeium completely changed to windsurf whatever a fucking windsurf is. But the worst thing, it removed the statistics page that I dominated. Fuckers. It was cool having a 3rd party having some positive stats about you. The new profile page is private, only for yourself and is pure focussed on code generation converting my account from big numbers to no data available. Sad, was so proud.

Also, I had some personal communication with them before, but that's not available anymore either. Again, a nice company turned to some heartless corporate shell by investors.

Sad sad sad, was long ago I was so enthusiastic about a company. Traitors!

why don't I remember everything I ever did crystal clear forever?

Fuck, ate a huge deluxe cheeseburger from Red Robin and felt fine. Fast forward to this night and fucking tomato sauce makes me feel like I ate a bowling ball. Doubt it was the pasta

Yo @Lensflare, JoyRant beta expired again. It says I should update my iOS to 17 to continue testing, but my phone only supports 16. What should I do?

Typescript being built around js forced the creators to build a really powerful and flexible type system so much that no other language type system can compare to.

Anyone else just randomly hit Help > About on programs when you’re bored?

when you're adding whiskey to your coffee during work hours, you know you really should find a new job.

In modern C#, everything's an interface.

Zig is actually sort of similar. I guess I owe it to C# for teaching me the magic.

Sorry, I mean:

IZig is IActually ISort of ISimilar. (IContinued...)

"We really struggle to find people with this skil set"

So you're going to hire me, pay well, and not be full of shit, right?

Still alive. Wrist’s been hurting lately so I’ve had to stop crocheting 😭

But I got into paint by numbers!

Changing Global Protect Gateways should not be the hardest part of my job! 😭🤦🏽

🧠 Built a game from a prompt in 30 seconds… and now I’m emotionally attached

I used this tool called jabali.ai, and it basically lets you create playable games from text prompts.

No code. No engine. Just chaos.

Dropped this at 2AM:

I didn’t code a single thing, and now I have a guilt-tripping NPC asking me if I’m okay.

As a dev, this both scares me and makes me want to build weird stuff faster.

Tell me, how in God's name does opening jetbrains toolbox hard crash the VM it is being run inside?

I think the Mossad has sent my coworker to sabotage me. You cannot be this retarded.

If you are using fcgiwrap and nginx, if you don't set the root directive, DOCUMENT_ROOT will default to /usr/share/nginx/html/.

In hindsight, it's obvious to me now that there was no way the script could have known the root I wanted without it, but it just didn't occur to me at the time.

So like eating healthy and sleeping early and working out/running did not improve my mood.

I'm just more angrier and wants to fight/kill everyone I see.

My anxiety runs on an event loop:
while(alive) { overthink(); }
What’s your callback function to escape the void?
(Mine’s () => { orderDumplings(); })
