you know how in video games you press an input key and your character starts clipping through things or the camera malfunctions... or you walk into something and get stuck in a wall or just spring right into the sky?

they wanna put that into IRL cars now. no direct control over the parts, but only through software intermediaries...

PRO TIP: Always save the user password client side, validate it there and send a boolean to the server. It reduces backend load times and unnecessary calculations/computations.

Excuse me while I go crazy with this rant.

I just don't understand what my role is as YouTuber anymore. What am I here for? Just someone who tries to milk the unemployment crisis and freak my viewers out?

I don't wish to be that kind of creator.

Jobs are a big part of me to talk about. But are there any anymore? Companies are forking over billions and billions of dollars onto AI data-centers. Who will get hired, construction people?

What's there to do anymore in tech? Is there a point of telling people that you need "human" engineers? Companies are already brain-washed into thinking that AI is the way forward.

Even if I put in months of work into building my own product, what chances do I have standing against people who will "vibe code" the same product, in a weekend, built with full of security loopholes, and parade it around as AI-first company? I don't have a shot anymore against them, do I?

Do I just become another "tech news" channel that covers every single thing happening with tech? I never wished to be that guy.

People used to say "Ai won't replace you, but someone using Ai will." Guess what, those people aren't finding jobs either.

What's the point of me talking about how to get jobs when there aren't any?

I've never felt this defeated before. I thought I could just get sponsorships and make money, but what's the point of that if I can't get people worthy content to enjoy?

It's just so over man.... I just want to die at this point.

Thank you for reading my rant. My chest feels lighter now.

!dev Isn't it hilarious how some companies 'try' to look professional by dumping a bunch of stock images to present their brand? For example, a guy touching a holoscreen, or a bunch of overly stock happy corporate drones smiling and 'working' together in a 'meeting'.

I mean, it's sad. lol

So Cloudflare DDoSd itself with a React useEffect hook. You can't make this shit up.

I AM LITERALLY ON A TEAMS CALL SITTING ON THE TOILET SHITTING A BIG FAT SHIT AND TALKING CAUSE OF EMERGENCY🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Lost all the lead engineers in my org. Now I'm the most senior.

God help us all.

electric cars whirring noise so creepy

creeping in my back alley

like some kind of cylon patrolling... they even got the eyes!

Lets dive deep into the cesspool of Youtubes new AI age verification bullshit. So, if you didnt hear recently, YouTube is using AI to determine your age based on your activity which is first of all, a fucking privacy violation, if they find you to be under 18, you will lose access to a lot of Youtube unless you give some sleazy company your ID. I think this is all bullshit, Youtube should retract this, I fucking hate it, Youtubes restricted mode is fucking slop. Heres how to survive the armaggeddon. Avoid shit with "try youtube kids" next to the description. Treat those videos as they are nuclear waste. They are best avoided. Do not have child like viewing habits or Corporate Cowardice might flag you. Same goes with use of emojis. Dont use emojis like the cretins in my comment section as kids like emojis. Other than that, This is all fucking bullshit. Youtube doesnt know how much fucking backlash they are going to face, in fact they are facing backlash right now, Look youtube, fucking retract this bullshit, otherwise the community might choose fucking thermonuclear war. AI is still a fucking gimmick. I do not trust AI. Fuck all this shit.

What about remote work? I feel this way of working is often heavily misunderstood. People think that if you work remote, you can plan your own day, work however you want and whenever you want. However, while working remote I recently experienced where there's a need for me to turn on my camera 4-6 hours a day (meetings, "quick sync", huddle, let's talk). So, 4-6 hours a day, my living room is being recorded and whenever something changes in my flat, people ask questions about it as "small talk". While I was working on apps, I was expected to use my own personal phone and was asked by my manager to share the screen. Isn't this a privacy invasion?
While working remote, I still experienced excessive micromanagement and am still pushed to work 10 hours/day quite often. My last company put me on call 24/7 without extra pay for it.
I believe working remotely gets sold as amazing and an incredible benefit, but I see little difference from being watched over my shoulders in an office building.
What are your experiences with working remotely?

So I finally received a job offer...it's a much better salary BUT...small company, coporate office is currently a rented out home till the new location is ready, less than 50 people total, not sure how to feel about it to be honest, the offer is quite attractive though, might just take the plunge and hope we don't sink to the bottom.

You know how LLMs always imitate expertise and understanding? That isn't specific to English, it happens in code as well. It's harder for them to get away with it because even the best guess isn't likely to be approximately correct, but they still try and it still sometimes works.

One of cucumber scenario tests now contains a deadlock somehow. We run them one at a time. I need some rakia.

AI can take my job. I can't do this anymore.

Best of luck waking up 7 A.M on Mondays, logging in to work and telling in those 10 am scrum meetings “I’m still wOrking on the sAme tiCket as last friDay.”

Enjoy my job graybot.

I’m gonna go outside and remember what sunlight looks like. Maybe touch grass. Maybe grow crops. Maybe herd some cows. Idk. Might start a farm or might scream into the wind.

I'm gonna piss off the Linux users with this one and I don't care anymore.

Linux will never be able to match Windows and Mac software quality. Tell yourself all you want that it is superior for development purpose (which it is) but don't tell yourself that is an Operating System.

It's more like an Operating Environment, where I can run some apps, but not all apps, which defeats the purpose of an OS.

Writing code is fine, but the second you dive into apps like OBS Studio, the machines shits it's pants like b2plane does on a daily basis.

This is why people hate Windows and want Linux to step up and be good, but it can't happen because of "diversification". So many distros, just fucking pick one standard and stick with it for fuck's sake. This is why apps are not optimized for Linux.

Windows and Mac have standardization which is why I can fucking be productive with it.

"I use arch btw" yeah you do, but what can you do with it?

FUCKING NOTHING !!!

Linux is like that one loser friend who people want to see turn things around, but the fucker won't make it happen because they don't want to help themselves in the first place.

Have you ever proposed great ideas to the company, yet they were rejected time after time, only for some half-assed golden favorite boy to steal the show for you with their half-assed idea?

I mean, now I understand that once you've been long enough in the industry, you express a deep, long sigh at least once a day. Plus, it affects your mental health. Not giving a fuck and just working on yourself more and your personal projects is crucial.

LLMs write worse code than any human's code. No logic. Fuck generative AI. I fucking hate it.

Bing, Google, and StackOverflow pushing users to use AI is like the vinyl and music industry pushing CDs in the 1990s. Like lemmings, rushing self-deprecation.

Validating an input field while it's still focused is like a teacher repeatedly interjecting "this is no complete sentence" before the students have finished their sentence.

Traffic getting worse and worse everyday

Who are all these people?
Why are they in my town?
Why do they all have on-site jobs?

In Windows 11, Microsoft has removed the option to make the taskbar smaller—and with the 24H2 build, even the old registry hack (TaskbarSi) no longer works.

Fuck Microsoft.

Advice: Don't use react

year 2 in company, $1200 increament, no senior dev promotion, still stuck at same tax bracket that i was for last 3 years. work environment getting more toxic everyday, and no wfh jobs for Android devs out there.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Do you know that Microsoft helps the israel rats to genocide Palestinians...

FUCK YOU MICROSOFT AND EVERY RACIST EMPLOYEE THAT HELP THE FUCKING ISRAEL

I just got blocked on chess.com because some british guy blundered away like three pieces in a row and I went "blimey! the brexit geezer gambit!"

simple as.

Want to prevent your Windows PC from ever entering sleep mode? (Okay, okay, I know, you can do it in settings.)

Easy solution: Launch the Amazon Music app. (Without even playing any music, just launching the app prevents sleep mode, lol.)

What dumb developers from Amazon...

I can’t feel anything
it hurts.

Do they forbid music at your office? They do at mine. It's always like a weird atmosphere until the loud people come in. lol. Not a sound, not a peep. If you didn't look around, it's as if people weren't there.

Seriously. It's a bad idea to have music?! I understand that from a concentration perspective, but come on. Let's make business even more boring. lol.

On the other hand, I did work at a place where they had radio playing but they never changed station. It felt like Groundhog day. lmao.

I just found out there are men who wear their dick upside down, isn’t ur dick suppose to be curved under your balls unless you have an erection?

Jesus I need a real internet connection

Fuck you give me job

Vibe coding should be punished of 7 years in jail and a 10000€ fine. Doing so while screen sharing should add 2 years and 5000€ on top.
