Hi folks of Devrant,
I’m looking for a remote job.
I’ve built multiple products over 10 years in startups and have skills in C#, Java, AWS, and SQL.
I’d appreciate any referrals if you know someone hiring.
Not sure if posts like this are allowed. I'll delete if it breaks the rules.3 -
nee rule in office: if you are taking leave on a wfo day, you must come to work on wfh day in the same week. even if your whole team is working remotely.
wtf!?
I am being punished to take an emergency leave because i was in a er room taking breaths off an Oxygen cylinder?
what is the point of this rule? just day Directly that its 5 days a week. why even give a fake illusion of 3 days office
if i try to reject this rule, i need to take double leaves... leave on wfo as well on wfh day
i am tired of being in such an exploiting company. If only my country wasn't in the middle of war and I wasn't getting any worse in terms of health, i would have quit even without a job offer in hand1 -
AI models don't work with any assumption. they're just very carefully weighted dice. autocomplete on steroids. there is no actual "intelligence" there, no understanding, no nothing.
just "calibrated randomness", in a manner
Kinda like germans or people who can't code in Javascript, but smarter5 -
Just got a call by the ceo asking me 1 or 2 weeks before my contract is. Prolonged wether i’m up for developing along in Swift for the iOS app. Im a frontender who was struggling with #C mvc lately and now this…3

working to overcome decades of cultural and educational training (public schools and college lmao) of being an unquestioning slave who does what they're told
to actually think critically with a product mindset and question is missing from a specification
does anybody have tips1 -
My company is making is sit through what can better be described as "The Dundees".
Those useless, time wasting, self aggrandizing "award cerimonies" that companies use to... dunno, I think to stroke management's ego.
I guess it's part of their compensation package, right there with making the hottest employees wear revealing clothing in order to be "engaged" in "informal team building exercises".
Frankly, I'm glad my sixteen-years-after-my-navy-days ass doesn't qualify.
Fuuuck, why can't they just give themselves bonuses for being "such engaging person-bosses" and let the rest of us just work? Corruption used to be a quick and easy affair. Now it requires soooo much fanfare.2 -
Most people are not reasoning models.
They could train them selves endless on information without really understanding it and will just repeat. By the fact that they've trained SO MUCH you would actually believe they're reasoning models but in the end they've never crafted something themselves and probably not able to. Never really tried because the fact other exist that have probably done it better. Killing.
OK, quite dramatic, but I was considering writing another regex interpreter. It makes the warrior in your awake. Never fuck with people who wrote one.
Also a tip for people ever considering one. Define for yourself what regex is and how it actually works up front and mark your project done when that is achieved. Just making 'an' regex interpreter is not not a solid plan.
Writing a regex interpreter is pure reasoning, you can get very high on it.11 -
Company made it known a few weeks earlier they are not longer profitable...
Solution? Organize a table tennis tournament between colleagues. Mandatory participation.
Bunch of clowns5 -

lol... turns out the people in Africa are enslaved because they have no access to organic normal seeds... they're given GMO seeds that obviously can't reproduce so that Monsanto can keep "selling" new seeds over and over again, that don't reproduce
we're gonna get to this level. the future the globalist desire36 -
In Windows 11, Microsoft has removed the option to make the taskbar smaller—and with the 24H2 build, even the old registry hack (TaskbarSi) no longer works.
Fuck Microsoft.29 -
we should archive these posts, I'm gonna miss the choice bullshit when this forum finally gives out4

Challenge for today: tell someone who micromanages that they are micromanaging and see what happens! I never saw our politically, culturally, morally, vibe'ly correct HR lady lose her shit so much :D funny how someone drops all masks when something vulnerable gets touched7

Fucking hell, Microsoft Store is the most useless abomination that MS has ever produced and instead of killing it, like they do with their other failed products, they somehow, for some reason, still keep this lobotomized pile of crap alive.4

Isn't it eerie how the same cat looks cute to you and absolutely terrifying to a little mouse? Imagine a monster that knows no mercy, can hear your tiniest movement, is 20 times your size, is faster than you, with fangs as long as your head is wide, that can crack your skull in one good bite and swallows those like you whole.10

See this what I'm talking about
You all are either bots now or other peope copying and pastihg lines
But that's not the main point
Your dumb shit drives me crazy
Everything you people do is repetitive stupid mimicry of previous annoying disgusting degraded fucked up people
There is no reason I should have to run around like a mad fool all over my own fucking country putting out fires when my time isn't simply being wasted
And there is no reason you trashy people have to force me to lie to reinvent things when that's also just a bullshit trap intended to steal my things before you people either all die and or check out or bury tye truth
And there sure as fuck no reason this is necessary at all
Acknowledge the fucking year you fucks
I shouldn't be smelling disgusting things or listening to some fake fat fuck composite instead of enjoying private life around people who aren't fucking crazy apparently lying about horrific shit they did for fun trying to play pretend and cast doubt on other folks who eith3r don't remember or don't know they're just making some flimsy attempt to use them which is likely an enveloped deceit where another group is fucking the would be manipulators over
Fuck you
None of this worked before it just wastes time14 -
Spent another 20 minutes blaming my tools when the issue was my fault again. Just wanted to let you friendly folks know.
(Forgot a “CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS” statement because on my other dev box, that database……. Already exists)4 -
> Your concern is entirely valid—naming can significantly affect how intuitive a concept feels. The term "object safe" in Rust might seem odd or even misleading if we approach it from a traditional object‑oriented perspective.
can rust please stop trying to be "different" for the sake of being different. Dumbest thing. Just call things what they are. What's the point of words if you're not actually accurately using them. Especially for a programming language, which is based on math and logical systems. Like how. Why. Stop. Antithesis to the mindset that should be making languages to begin with if you can't do logic with the words that already exist. Horrible sales pitch. Are they trying to confuse people on purpose, make moats so nobody learns it? is this self-sabotage?

I have bludgeoned an AI on this matter. I feel kind of bad. It tried to ad hominem me and then tell me I'd get it if I wasn't so new, and that it's a perfectly valid name because it's in the "reference guide". Called it out on appeal to authority and now it's just saying my argument points back at me like it's groveling. Sigh.
And it's hallucinated thinking I'm the whole online community giving critiques on this matter now, therefore my points are valid, lmao1 -
Project manager wants that we write a full app by only vibe coding and he is enforcing this...
Gotta say, this is one of the most unsatisfying projects so far...8 -

Doing work disability paperwork. They've filled in paperwork saying they've provided all necessary and recommended equipment. I literally have paperwork of them declining to provide equipment recommended (and would have been paid for) by the government.
Fucking wild. Gonna be fun.3
