Me and my wife always dreamed of living in america.

Week: 100 (Year 2 )

100th week. 200th rant

I am so happy. This is a special week for me. Not only did my company lose the client I have been working on, but also the company is pushing me to do the night shift without any benefits for a new project.

How is your weekend going?

Question: How do you politely tell HR that you don't want to be a slave and work the night shift without saying it directly?

last Weekend : https://devrant.com/rants/18967856

There's this really cute girl who works at the store where I buy my vaping things, who keeps eyeballing me very awkwardly and keeps giving me a 20% discount on every little thing I buy there. Like, I've never ever got any discounts from any of her co-workers. But whenever o try chitchatting she starts acting like she's so cool, I'm twiddling this thingy here, but yeah I'm listening, uh uh, yes, ahahaha, yes yes, I'm so cool.

And now I'm really confused...but the more I think about the more I'm convinced I should just get it done with and ask her out already

What are your opinions on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOLID ?

It's quite a lot easier not being an alcoholic when you aren't stressed the fuck out

the fact nobody has made techno/trance/psytrance/frankly any music out of solfeggio "healing" frequencies is wild to me

come on people what

classic scale is so boring

It begins. I've just ruined several people's weekend.

That's it. I'm moving to the metaverse!

I tried GPT5.

It's still retarded.

ask AI for some sample code cuz lazy

it's busted

come back pointing out the busted

it says I'm close but I fucked up here and here

I DIDNT FUCK UP RAAGHHH

every time. I am getting triggered by inappropriate blame of an AI now. sigh

when humans do it it drives me up the wall. I'm not ok being someone's scapegoat. you can call me lazy but you can't say I made those mistakes. I'm just too lazy to read the docs because they're ridiculous so I want the AI to find the specific use case in the docs for me... siiigh

Trying to flash a windows iso on a usb stick from linux is making me wanna fucking kill myself

IS THERE ONE FUCKING SOFTWARE WHICH CAN FLASH A FUCKING WINDOWS ISO SUCESSFULLY??

From the 4 ive tried so far none of them worked. What the actual fuck is wrong with desktop linux sometimes

Ive already wasted 1 and half hour of this shit. On windows I would have done this in literally 3 minutes

Holy shit fuck me

urgghhh this old laptop doesn't have a working shift key

also it's sticky. eeeeee

thankfully there's 2 shift keys but talk about awkward

just gotta dump ssh on it and find out if it can run rust or not. God this thing is slow. was top of the line 10 years ago when this business guy bought the best laptop he could find, now somehow barely runs arch. crazy

Title:- When the Code Runs, But You Don’t Know Why 😵‍💫

I wrote a piece of code last night at 2 AM. Eyes half-shut, brain running on caffeine and regret. Woke up today, ran the code… and it worked. Flawlessly.

The only problem?
I HAVE NO IDEA WHY.

No comments.
No memory of what I was trying to do.
Variables named like x1, x2, and idk.
It’s elegant. It’s efficient. It's... suspicious.

Now I'm afraid to touch anything because clearly, 2 AM Me unlocked some higher dimensional dev mode.

So here I am, documenting the "miracle" like it’s ancient alien tech.
Praying future me never has to debug this.

Send help. Or more coffee.
(Preferably both.)

Dear UK. WTF?

This place became a botRant?

My phone broke a few months ago and when I went to a local retailer. All their phone specification and the price were locked behind a QR-code. You could not make an educated purchase lol

Who was the idiot that thought this was a good idea.

I actually think that auto-completing pull requests with any merge strategy other than fast-forward is completely insane. WTF do you mean the final version of the code is produced with no humans present?

After 5 days of being /gone/ finally caught up again. Anyway, see you all next week or when page 4 is fully unread again

(not really, just have been busy)
(btw you can get temporarily banned from commenting it seems)

Why does everything require an account these days?
I just wanted to try out a simple to-do list app. Next thing I know, it's asking for my email, phone number, and the name of my first pet. I'm not buying a house — I just want to tick off "buy milk."
Whatever happened to lightweight, no-signup tools? Devs, bring back simplicity please.
/end rant

I absolutely despise state of org structures in mid-big companies due to mediocre devs and more than that mediocre middle managers that are responsible for putting out policies.

They are on doom spiral but somehow keep themselves afloat. Heard a policy for one of them is like you need to be using AI for 80% of your job? They are being run as if the person using it is unable to think for themselves. If you are micromanaging prompting why not fire the plebian, and use agents and 100% AI bitch.

But most companies are like this, why?

What's your favorite letter? Mine is Z. It have a fascinating history. it was originally an S, but it became edgy and angular.

The reason why CS graduates don't make the big bucks is that they do not learn how to configure CI pipelines for gitlab in university.

skipped my meds yesterday night by accident and just got the best sleep I've had in a month. yeah fuck these things

and they lied to me and told me they were sleeping meds the first time even tho that was unnecessary to be doing and they're not prescribed for sleep

I hate the medical field. that's so fucking gross

tailwind is trash holy crap.

every div element contains like 30 classes that have their own thing going for them.

just start writing inline css at that point. Why bother putting classes in?

Debugged a self written http(s) reverse proxy for the whole day for nothing. The slowing down seem to be a link to an old server that went down by coincidence i started to work on it. So the browser, kept giving a loading sign. Normally that would mean a bug in the reverse proxy, if you write one on your own.

Fuck.

i haven't seen "rant of the week" thingy for a lot of time, i assumed my app needs updating but i know there r no longer android updates.

is the feature dead or is there an apk i can get?

I know vibe coding is a thing now, but I do hear a lot of people talking about how the AI can get off track and make some pretty bad mistakes. I think (for me at least) the takeaway from that is use it, but don't ask it to do anything that you couldn't do yourself.

My employer has made a settlement offer. They also very clearly lay out what they think I might accuse them of and I would have to waive my rights to sue. Primarily harassment, disability discrimination.

I'm not saying "fuck it, we ball" is my decision making process, but...
