Side project is finally starting to make some money to help cover operational costs. Yay!

Next steps is to probably start a legitimate company lmao.

"Are you familiar with uploading your code to Google Drive?"

I left the building at that exact moment.

Congratulate me! My facebook account turned 15 years, and to celebrate it I've requested for it to be deleted 🎉🎊
Next stop: instagram

Today is 12 days after I told my boss I will be finished in 12 days.

The whole thing is buggy as fuck again.

I want to cry

If onIy my body saved money as good as it saves fat…

Today it finally happend! I deleted Prod!
Accidentally connected to the wrong db to wipe it.

Me : Ok, let's GOOO. Migration of bunch of projects (Front, back, helpers, async workers etc) to .net 8 from .net 6.
Couple of hours later :
Me : yeah ! It compiles !
Couple of hours later :
me : Shit yes ! It's working. tested all major functionality. No problems !
me : Creating PR
A day later :
QA : The names of day in datapicker are now in upper case.
me : LOL
Qa : Crickets

welp. Welp. Actually that make sense, necause brefore day names were autotranslated in Chrome randomly. like "Mon" was considered a french word and traslated into "y"

QA : crickets.

I'm gonna force push this PR lol

- found myself in need of a speciffic tool
- quick google search didn't yield any usable implementations [at least free]
- TTOOOOOTT TTTOOOOOOOTTT, LET THE REINVENT-THE-WHEEL TRAIN THROUGH!!! Now, where's that my favourite ide....

My company just installed app-operated locks in all doors. Let's say that I have a hard time taking security policies now.

Hey, @dfox

Is there anything we can do to help?
We miss you, and we want to keep devRant alive too.

I've shifted from writing nested ifs to writing early returns. Feels great.

There’s a very small crossover between “programming problems I need solved” and “programming problems ChatGPT can solve”. I’ve tried maybe 10 times and got a good answer possibly once of those ten.

This week I'm doing construction work -- renovating my balcony. Just now I've finished with HTML - hanging drywall ceiling. Tomorrow will start on CSS - putty.

Damn, it's so gooood no not think about computers!

Looks like my subscription to devRant++ has just been cancelled in Google Play Store... and it's not posdtble to renew, because the item doesn't exist anymore.
Supported since 2017... now status gone 😐

I never realized USB Type C was built to be reversible. I always assumed that I got it right every time in the first try.

What's happened to me

Got an interview request for a new job. They mostly do WordPress. I don't want to touch WordPress.

Talked to the Project Manager woman on the phone about the job, seems decent.

Sounds like a nice place to work at, but I just can't do the WordPress thing, man.

Oohhh, dropbox... You are pathetic.

I'm a long time dbx user. 10+ years ago they had a programme saying that each new dbx user created using my ref link [on different machines] grants me 500M or 1G of additional space in my acct. Around that time I used to actively fix/reinstall/setup others' computers, so I had an easy access to different machines. This way I boosted my dbx capacity to 27G. For free.

Since ~5 years ago dbx started spamming me with "you're almost out of storage" emails [I'm using ~80% of my 27G]. Annoying, but I understand - they have to keep with the sales. I can live with this occasional spam.

Now, since I got my new laptop, I'm setting up dbx on it. And dbx is SO desperate with their sales, that now they only allow sync on 3 devices max. I had to unlink other 17 devices I've ever logged in from before I could continue.

What's the next step of despair? Free accounts can only sync on weekends?

Come on. This looks ridiculous. Dropbox, get your shit together!

My tip for staying productive: **Don't**

Take a break. Take a few. Have a nap. Take a stroll outside. Enjoy life.

Life's too short. If you're not having fun, you're doing it wrong.

Fuck productivity.

Developer superstition, never say something is easy, fast or straightfoward.

It will take weeks to develop, months to test and debug and you will consider change jobs just to stay away of that code

Today is a day where I just want to kick start a fucking landmine!

I applied for four jobs today, including GitHub. I feel kinda proud of myself.

Simply having a university degree is not a reasob for a bigger salary comapred to a non degree. Its just a school where you learn some of the stuff you need on the job. Therefore if you prove that you know the same it is the same. Same work same salary.

I can imagine the client throwing a dart at a calendar and saying "This will be the deadline!"

Announcing devRant 2.0! It is time for exciting overhaul, sponsored by our good friends at Tencent, that will bring life back to this amazing platform.

What a time to be alive!

Fun fact: You can't get a burnout if you just say NO.

I really really really need more RAM. 16GB is far from enough. Had to witness the kernel kill all of my Chrome extensions and most of my tabs and an IDE and still it wasn't able to run that container in the 8G RAM it just freed up...

I remember the days when 8G RAM was an overkill.

The times have changed. Now I'm looking into getting a Linux lappy w/ 96GB and still worried whether it'll suffice my needs....

Just submitted my first app to the Microsoft Store 🎉🎉

It's a simple offline password manager that also accepts other formats of data such as credit card and personal info.

Made it using WinUI 3. To prevent you from forgetting your master password, each "locker" accepts an unlimited number of passwords. If you forgot one, you can just use a different one. This is my idea to make offline password managers a little less of a hassle.

Can't wait for approval from the store!

I'm gonna rant about how Discord does not let you disable 2FA after having it enabled if you forget the code they provide for cases where you don't have access to the 2FA in the first place and I lost a damn account to that :/
