I can definitely see why would anyone use rxjs for sockets, there's no way in the world I would use rxjs on anything other than this specific scenario you just mentioned.

"HURR DURR IT'S MORE PERFORMANT"

It's not, but I wouldn't care anyway. I'm performing an HTTP request and assigning a few properties here and there; this is NOT what's slowing down my application.

Slowing the entire development process for some hypothetical clock cycles which, even if you did actually get them -and I'm not saying you do-, you'd get exactly 0 benefits in the 99.99% of real world scenarios, because that's now what's clogging your application.

This is the literal quickstart, I can't believe an actual professional looked at this shit and was like "YEAH ABSOLUTELY, THE WORLD NEEDS THIS"

@retoor was talking about Puff. She was snuggling very AGGRESSIVELY, pushing my neck to the side. She had an end goal, but I can't imagine what that was.

@retoor she is being quite intrusive right now. Tenacious headbutts in my neck. Doesn't like being ignored.

@retoor I use chatGPT to know the name of the thing I actually need to search for (many times, you don't even know what the f you should even google).

Once I know what I'm actually supposed to search for, whatever happens stays between me and Stack Overflow.

@PappyHans

Q: "man, how does this work?"

A: "dunno, GPT wrote it"

Second time I heard it in the last 5 days.

-8, I actively revert commits

Ok, Puff is getting way too famous for her own good.

At any rate, Christmas is coming and my gf decorated the cats. Puff has opinions about the whole thing, but as she's a cat, nobody really cares about that.

Also tagging @retoor for acknowledgement

I stopped fighting the urge to call people "dogs".

Enough diplomacy, this code is barking.

Waking up, choosing violence

@Weon

- in an ideal world, we use the complex and carefully crafted system of bullmq with Redis events for scheduled and recurring jobs

- in the real world, setInterval once every x seconds and God be with you

@retoor I never rant unless I have a Puff pic to upload for you

That's the opposite of a problem. Give that to me, I need just a handful more ++ for a cute crow to perch on my shoulders

Some more 2 hours spent in call, for a problem I could have solved in 2 lines were we using a sane framework, it's becoming a habit at this point, but SURE BUDDY, RUIN YOUR ENTIRE FUCKING PROJECT BECAUSE DEPENDENCY INJECTION IS TOTALLY FUNDAMENTAL (dependency injection in Angular is literally the import statement, except it's pretentious), WE NEED TESTABILITY (we don't have a single test), REACTIVITY IS THE FUTURE (it's a more cumbersome version of the stock event emitter), IT LOOKS SOOOOO NICE (the same theme in React looks slightly better and it's a bunch of very basic components stylized with tailwind anyway)

No, that's the same old Puff. The only other cat is the Log; different stripes, and he's currently busy being fat on what I was entitled to think was my chair.

@retoor she's being S M O L.

Puff tax for retoor. In this pic, slightly mad because I groomed her. Next time you won't shed so much fur!

@thebiochemic the alternative to Adobe rn is looking more and more like cracked Adobe

@thebiochemic there goes the gimp enthusiast.

I tried both PS and GIMP with no prior experience: one felt intuitive, the other does not. Empirical data shows this situationn happens VERY FUCKING OFTEN.

The GIMP enthusiast might want to acknowledge that yes, there is indeed a GUI problem, or defend dumb design decision just because they so happen to be used to it after years of practice. Guess which one you chose.

@retoor sometimes she bleps

I should call her

GIMP ENTHUSIAST WILL JUMP UP AND DOWN AND BE LIKE "no it's a you issue I've been using it for 24 years and never had a problem :)" OH MY GOD JUMP OFF A FUCKING BRIDGE, EVERY SEARCH HISTORY RELATED TO GIMP SHOWS TWO ENTRIES IN THIS EXACT ORDER: THE FIRST IS "PHOTOSHOP ALTERNATIVES" AND THE SECOND IS "WHERE IS FUCKING EVERYTHING"; THE THIRD IS EITHER "HOW TO UNINSTALL GIMP" OR "CRACK DEALER NEAR ME"

git contributions

could actually count

devs can't count...?

and killed me

@Jeremygrooks I saw that

@retoor I took this pic yesterday but I slightly moved the jaw while doing so and she made the displeased face because my movement changed ever so slightly the direction of her whiskers

reading the screenshot and the comments here I had multiple bruh moments
