At previous company I had a side-task of helping out IT dept. w/ cataloguing of hardware for the testers.
The person previously tasked w/ this chose to use Google Docs, so I had no problems w/ expanding / updating the list.

Later on, a test lead of one of the projects had a bright idea of creating a copy of that list for their project.

After some time he approached me && started bitching about why I am !updating their copy of the list.

His reasoning?
- Because you're the 'list guy'.
- Because I'm asking you nicely to do it.

The exchange had been taking some time, but long story short: I stood my ground && basically told him to fuck off, given how it was _he_ && his team that decided to make a copy of the official list && I was definitely !going to accept the responsibility of additional work due to that choice.

Seriously. The fuck do these people think?

If he were to purchase e.g. an knockoff of an iPhone, the device broke down && he went to the Apple's repair center, they'd tell him to fuck off.

Which would be the right thing to do.

...fucking retards && their logic.

/* Also, it's always fun to watch people being ostensibly polite w/ their 'I'm asking you politely / nicely.' then demanding whatever it is they had been asking about, when they have absolutely no right asking for that thing, making _you_ look like an asshole. */

If you put Web3 on your resume, I'm rejecting you without even looking at the rest of your resume.

Imagine receiving three basically the exact same reports instead of just one.

When releasing games on consoles, there are some rules for basic quality the games have to meet that depend on the platform.

Some of those rules align across all platforms, but are written down as different test scenarios.

Let's say, the game mustn't crash && tests are listed as:
- Company A: Test 0.
- Company B: Test 1.
- Company C: Test 2.

If a crash affects all platforms, the _logical_ thing to do would be to write just one report, mention all affected platforms && also list all requirements that are failed due to this.

Leadership: 'No, we need to create separate reports for each affected platform.'

Result: Only one report gets actual attention, while all the others are left forgotten, living as zombies.

...sometimes I wonder whether such people are paid per report, given their approach.

/* For some context: I am dealing w/ a multiplatform project built using one of the more popular engines, making vast majority of issues present regardless of the platform. Creating separate reports makes absolutely no sense.
They changed their mind solely after this being brought up by the developers, though. */

It's that time again because it needs to be remembered

AI IS FUCKING RETARDED.
I would literally be ashamed to be one of those multibillionaire companies giving out trash or be ashamed to be recognized as someone which invested in it.

Jesus.

I tried out every model, local and online.
It's fucking trash for anything more than a preschool special kid could do.

I literally had it to code and it can't do anything beyond basic code without the need for me to supervise everything and patch this disaster everywhere. It feels like having that dumbass junior just arrived doing code and having to review every line because it could contain a death trap.

I tried to make it do a dieting plan.
I literally gave it everything.
Macros, kcal, a restricted list of 15 foods and asked to do some bulk cooking list to make the diet later.
It can't do basic math to figure out macros and not only, it fucking halluicinates like a crazy LSD druggie even doing a few lines of that shit.
It literally invents calories counts, macros and shit out of his stupid ass.

I tried literally to bring it by the hand in doing the tasks and it still fails.

You might say: Hey it's a "Language" model.

No, it doesn't matter. Amy discussion besides hi dumb fuck how are you soon turns into an AI mind trip where it churns and repeats stupid stuff.

No, it won't replace anyone anytime soon.
It's just a fucking joke

Had quick stuffed mushrooms with cheese and ham in them. Marked safe from self caused rapid explosions today.

Let's talk about Japanese offices.

If you want to know about Japanese offices, think about casino.

Well there are windows, but all curtains are closed and fluorescent lights are on 24/7.

I can't fucking tell if it's day or night until I leave the office. Big ass fluorescent light above me keeps making my monitor glare.

It's been 4 years. I wanna kms.

I've created an xmpp based chat for ranters

xmpp:devrantchat@muc.xmpp.earth?join

why? because i can. maybe more people would start using xmpp this way, i dunno.

https://crystal-lang.org/

Experimented. Made a websocket app. Compiled to nice single binary. Package management bit meh. Some std issues but it's soon I guess?

Am I late of early to this party?

Thoughts / experiences regarding this language anyone?

Google is down?

Yocto definetly goes brrrrrrrrrrr on a 7950X!!!!

What absolute fucknut has come up with the idea to hand in reports in Figma?! I hope you choke on your vegan chai latte and die on the floor of some random starbucks.

We have had a bad release a few weeks ago and my task is to propose a better flow. We just had a meeting and now I'm writing a document for it.

All I can think of them the big boss saying "looks excellent" and then default back to the old way in less than 3 weeks from now.

European hares and regular bunnies have nothing in common in terms of how they behave.

Hares will scream at you and attack you if you get too close. They're very fast and very agile, they even look like mini kangaroos. Sometimes they will open their mouth and jump at you full force, essentially using their body as a spear and their incisors as a spear tip. Their teeth are VERY sharp. Unlike carnivores' canines which are pointy, hare's incisors are flat like a razor's edge. They can totally bite your finger off.

They're big, strong and fierce enough to scare away foxes.

Just imagine dying of anaphylaxis all alone in the forest with no one to help you after getting bit by a not-even-rabid not-even-predator.

This really resonated with me. The last job I had before doing my work as a full-time independent freelancer had all sorts of infantilization strategies. Parties, nerf gun wars, big lunch once a week, etc. I'm introverted and all of that stuff sapped my mental energy for the day, so my productivity suffered. It's daycare for adults.

if you're homeless, just.... buy a house

I don't like Elementor for WordPress. The stuff it does for caching and performance sake causes hard to debug problems that the non-technical users it is marketed toward could almost certainly never figure out.

Buuuurnout, the raaadio! I need the muuusic, give me some more! Yeahhhh!

Leg warmers! Jerry curls!
IIIIII want my MTV!

Doo doo doo doow... -going crazy-
Okay, I am officially going to take a break from studying for work outside of work.

I've realized starting a company/business is really hard and long process.

But I guess same goes for 9-5s...

How do you create companies and go on 1-2 years without salary?

As mentioned in a previous rant, I'm not super happy about available graphical (s)ftp options.

Tried the command line and honestly, it's better than anything else.

The concepts are simple, and the tools are even better IMO. Being able to `put *` from a folder is great.

turns out Canada drinks arabica coffee

I tried this instant robusta coffee mix and it made me so calm and felt like a religious experience. love this coffee and it does seem to be different from all the other coffee I've been buying to try to find something else that feels like this

well turns out the grocery store discontinued selling this specific coffee... so I can't even get more. and everything else they sell is exclusively arabica

AI says robusta has more caffeine and chlorogenic acid but I think it's something else in this robusta coffee. even if I drink more arabica it's not the same feeling. how mysterious

something else interesting is all arabica makes me pee a lot and dehydrate, but the robusta has no such effect. so mysterious

The shortest rant ever that doesn't need any explanation: XCODE

pls stop putting talking into music mixes. you're ruining my jive. I don't wanna hear your opinions. just play the math noises
