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?

Working on some linux shell/terminal stuff and chatgpt really is both a saint and a curse

It's super helpful but like half the stuff it tells me is just flat out wrong

Never forget to double check guys!

I've started messing with C++ again, and it's kinda fun :)

I'm a fan of modular systems, so I've decided to build a little proof of concept for plugin loading.

A plugin is basically just a shared library which exposes a class that extends the Plugin abstract class and implements some lifecycle methods.

Then a plugin file has a system specific PLUGIN_EXPORT create_plugin()... function that just returns an instance of the plugin.

I've decided to use a super simple event bus for communicating from the host system to the plugin and vice versa, it's supplied in a PluginContext class which is supplied to the plugin upon initialisation.

Loading the plugins is done via LoadLibraryA(...) or dlopen(...).

Of course I'm freeing/closing them again at the end of the host system lifecycle. I hope to eventually implement some form of HMR.

Idunno why I'm sharing this; The system has zero purpose other than learning, but I've figured that implementing plugins in a "lower" level language, rather than typescript with node is more fun :)

COLLATE in SQL and “collateral damage” are related words

I hate what AI has done to developers, man.

I was discussing something a couple of days ago while my colleague was sharing his screen. He (Android/Flutter developer asked for my help for something custom in the iOS build) And while we were discussing it, he went to ChatGPT.

He wrote a bad prompt using wrong terms (for example how tabbar in ios is a different thing than android), i told him he was wrong and what the solution is, he didn't listen and went to try out what the AI said, made a bunch of errors, the proceeded to copy the errors to chatgpt wasting so much time.

AI to some developers is like tiktok to kids.

Enter BIOS menu
See the option called something like “ionic capacitor discombobulation”
Click “help” near the option to learn what the hell that is
“Enables or disables ionic capacitor discombobulation”
ffs

Just spent 5h figuring out why sending a serial command wont trigger in U-Boot. Was literally soldering wires to the boad, decoded the entire line with a scope, used several adapters, downloaded the firmware again and again over serial and USB-dfu and a looking for alternative boards online just to find out cutecom was set to send no LF after a command so U-Boot thought i was still typing something. This is literally the semicolon joke you see splattered over normie coding memes.

I'm starting to understand this guy.

insert into devlife values('bullshitpeople', 'bullshitmanagement', 'bullshit', 'bullshit_fake_productivity', 'bullshit_mantras', 'bullshit_corporate_culture', 'impossible_requirements', 'impossible_deadlines', 'sabotage', 'etc');

Yep, seems tots legit. Not a scam at all. Especially with that sexy email extension! Rrrrrraw! You go TikTok Recruitment Dept!!!!

Some people are the reasons that some company banned "remote-working", I am here thinking that "bro, don't abuse it, the last thing I expect is we all work onsite"

Brb. I need to sleep.

Triggered by a spelling error in a backend API endpoint.

Must resist urge to change it.

It says "respondants" instead of "respondent".

Cars 1 was NOT released 19 years ago. No, it just wasn't. Fuck you, it wasnt. I dont care about your facts. It's all fake. You're litearlly just lying. No it cannot have come out 19 years ago. It just couldn't have, thats way to long ago. You're just weird. Calenders are just wrong

Just saw this in an email about 1password:

Automated system restarts. You can automatically enforce restarts on employees’ devices to ensure updates install successfully.
We are adding support for the MSI command-line option /norestart for situations where automated system restarts are not desired.
If system restarts are enforced, we recommend scheduling deployments during off-hours to minimize disruptions.

If my PC restarts without me asking I'm going to smack a bitch (windows does it enough already)

Client: Build me this subscription based software

Also client: *doesn't fundamentally understand how subscriptions work*

memory is punishment
no memory is hell on earth

Step away from the computer...

ChatGPT went total crazy on my idea.

It occurs to me that the only people left on devrant are shills, bots, racists, and insane people, and I've yet to decide whether to leave or count myself into that last category.

Nobody in the department knows what an ancient program really does, not even people that have been in the department for 20 years. Yet it seems to do important things.Time to shut it down and see what it was responsible for. Maybe we'll see the consequence in the next year(s), lovely 🙃

The next time I hear someone go "it'll happen when you least expect it", I'll cave their skull in.

Oh and also, my Parser is done :)

No more CRUD

“even tho I’m giving you a salary, this is urs as much it is mines, i want you to own it”

Then give me shares pussy

I doubt.

Gene Hackman and his wife and dog all found dead.

He was like 95 or something. She was 63. Daughter said she suspects a gas leak.

Much sad, RIP to the legend, the OG Lex Luther

In my freelancing project, I encounter this, I HOPE this is a joke , but isn't a joke. Just wow

Very excited to announce I've started another project I will never finish

At the end of the day, it is me and my SDK Download waiting for it to download feels like Building Pyramids Brick by brick or byte by byte. Except that those laborers had a better project timeline than "Dev-labors" and I am sitting here Waiting patiently like Socrates did for Hemlock. Argh
