VSCode is a good, fast editor that has great flexibility and an extensive feature set out of the box. Sorry Sublime, but VSCode is just better.
I used Sublime since 2015, and after using VSCode for several months, I realized I’m not going back to Sublime. Their plugins ecosystem is totally broken, every plugin is abandoned.
Vim and other bigoted editors can go fuck themselves. Unlike Vim users, I have actual work to do, so I don’t have time to polish my configs. I want things working out of the box.23 -
Every line of code you write, every variable you name, all should be soaked in 100% testosterone. Every decision — a big dick move. Your code should give raytheon exec a stiffy. pussies say memory safety, patterns, yada yada, this and that… I say weaklings die. big deal.2

If you want to know how bad the job market is in India, a colleague told me that he got offered a job from an employer, where the condition is he has to give 20% of his paycheck back to the employer in their other bank account.10

A coworker just died. He wasn't even 50.
Everyone make sure you're keeping your stress in check, and prioritizing your health. Go get that thing checked out you've been putting off.
This career is lucrative but it has its toll. Make sure you're taking time away.32 -
I really want this whole industry to die. I want it to happen from the bottom of my soul!
Their whole job ad was about web technologies where they were asking for a 7-10 years Symfony developer.
One would think being a programmer for 10 years should superseed your shitty LLM prompt crafting requirements.
Truly, there never was a better time for global EMP to happen..16 -

It's fucking incredible how boring work can be.
There is literally nothing exciting or new or challenging whatsoever.
I swear if we don't get any interesting projects soon I'm bailing after I finish my training, no matter what they offer me.
I can't work like this. It's only tickets, tickets, tickets, tickets, tickets...15 -
In CSS, never ever enlarge anything by hover. There will exist a set of cursed cursor positions somewhere on the edge of fully zoomed out and fully zoomed in states, which will make your UI element twitch between two states at 60+ FPS.
If you want this effect, wrap the element you want to enlarge in a wrapper whose size won't change. Add :hover state on the wrapper, not the element, and change the element in that selector. It will make the curse go away.
wrong:
.zoom:hover { transform: scale(1.1) }
right:
.zoom-wrapper:hover .zoom { transform: scale(1.1) }8 -
Day 20 of starving myself to death challenge. My yesterday's fasting trick didn't work, and I have no idea why. My body is full of energy, twitches like crazy, the anxiety level is through the roof, with an average resting heart rate of 118 since 6pm yesterday. Fuck.6

So, Postman requires you to create an account on their systems to... lemme check...
Perform HTTP requests locally.
I need to create an account to perform HTTP requests.
And the whole dev community is looking at this and say "yeah ofc it's perfectly reasonable"9 -

For small explosives, you wear an explosives suit — it can absorb the impact of a standard hand grenade.
For big explosives, you wear a T-shirt: with that big of a destructive force, explosives suits are gonna protect you as good as a sheet of 2 ply toilet paper. But not wearing a heavy and bulky suit gives you that much more visibility and dexterity you do need in your situation.6 -
Day 17 of starving myself to death challenge.
Yesterday was… different. As I already said multiple times, I do eat from time to time, but yesterday I decided to fast.
By the evening, my body was completely exhausted. Couldn’t really stand on my own without holding onto something.
Then I laid down and got ready for sleep.
Because my body had zero energy, for the first time in 15 years it wasn’t twitching. It twitches all the time: I have restless legs syndrome, but it’s not just legs for me but the whole body. I can’t stress this enough how much I twitch every day. But right then and there, my body was calm.
As my brain was shutting down and falling asleep, I felt euphoria unlike anything I have ever experienced. I was in heaven. Calm body, empty mind.
I want to say it was worth it, and I probably will do it all again someday.
In the meantime, on I go, without fasting, motivated more than ever!4 -
Have you ever started a new job and they have a bunch of legacy and technical debt so much that it doesn’t even makes sense trying to fix anything4

If I've offended you with my posts I am sorry.
I honestly didn't think you could read.
Also, its FUCK YOU ALL FRIDAY!5 -
Today I learned that power-to-weight ratio of modern passenger aircraft is so high that they can do a vertical takeoff. It should be almost impossible to stall those planes. I bet they can do barrel rolls just fine.
Even one engine is enough to fly safely.10 -
If you want a terrifying name for your metal band, don't call it “Whispers from the Abyss of Despair” or “Through the Veil of Darkness and Desolation”.
Call it “Surgery Robot From Temu”.2
