Finally got all the php errors fixed on my servers. Feels good man.

Svelte is if an unfinished sneeze was a framework.

Cotton in German is Baumwolle, which is literally "tree wool".

At this point I think we can reject the theory that image upload somehow fixes itself.

Challenge for today: tell someone who micromanages that they are micromanaging and see what happens! I never saw our politically, culturally, morally, vibe'ly correct HR lady lose her shit so much :D funny how someone drops all masks when something vulnerable gets touched

you have 6 problems

you introduce rust, now you have 30 problems

you worked on it for about a month and maybe this is the 6th rewrite, and you now have 300 problems and also you have less functionality than every one of the previous versions

why and how

this pattern seems to be consistent no less

Advice: Don't use react

3 week ago, I made a post sharing that we got a new marketing guy and my colleague and I have a bet going on if he will last 6 months or not.

He is already fired.

Viking!

telling the health and sanity of a society by if they can still make music or not =-=

like how do you fuck up and release garbage, honestly. might have a good part but it's like... you didn't even see it?

So many meetings, how could one be lonely

The shortest rant ever that doesn't need any explanation: XCODE

I don't like Elementor for WordPress. The stuff it does for caching and performance sake causes hard to debug problems that the non-technical users it is marketed toward could almost certainly never figure out.

Fucking Bureaucracy

it will be fast, I said
it will be clean, I said

it was neither of those things

Microsoft Entra SSO is trash

It's great when it works but I'm so tired of it saving incorrect login/session data when using multiple accounts and getting hung up

Also while we're at it, can we agree the random name swap from Azure to Entra was stupid and unnecessary?

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.

Bluetooth sucks pretty hard. Can't use a Logitech mouse and Sony headphones at the same time without interference :(

Usually I come here to share rants/negativity but this time I wanna share an happy moment I had yesterday as a programmer.

In lots of instances I struggled to work on personal projects: I feel the desire to code cool stuff but I've often self-sabotaged myself by doing stuff like:

- self-enforcing "one man agile methodologies" with tasks, issue boards and lately time tracking
- forcing myself to do long study/research periods about the language/technologies I wanna use before writing the first line of code (and when I was able to actually end my research and get to code most of the stuff I researched was forgotten since cramming information is not effective on the long run)
- forcing myself to stick with all the "best practices" under the sun and to setup countless tools (linters, CI, unit testing...) before even getting a working POC

Usually all these stupid self imposed rules ended up in me procrastinating or pushing trough stuff struggling with headache after headache when coding actually used to feel a mostly fun pursuit to me.

Took lots of time to recognize this monster I created into my head but finally yesterday I did and I gave myself permission to:

- Start programming with just the very basics of the language (while reading a book on said language on the side at a relaxed pace, I can always come back later to improve my code as I learn more)
- Add stuff (unit testing, complex frameworks, CI/CD...) only when I need it
- Do a very basic planning (like a text files listing "must have" features and "nice to have features") and avoid issue boards and stuff, I'm working on a hobby project not on a company or a big OSS projects

It's been so long since the last time I had a programming session where I spent most time actually writing code and not researching and overthinking stuff and it felt great.

Him: Hey your program doesn't work
Me: what's the error
Error: malformed data file
Me: where'd you get that data file?
Him: oh in this new place I saw
Me: that's not the correct data file for that command
Him: are you sure? This is more convenient for me
Me: the command needs the correct data from the correct source....

I'm such a successful software developer that today I have deleted 3 major repositories 🎉

I think I have like 12 more to go. less is more

Good afternoon everyone!

OK then

I'm changing my coffee breaks at work for nap breaks.

an AI programmer telling you coding with AI makes you a x10 engineer is like someone telling you autocomplete makes them a x10 novelist

Whoever came up with the "brilliant" idea of having different date formats should be punched in their face! Stop inventing all sorts of idiotic local standards for every little freaking thing! This goes for Americans and Europeans alike! FFS! Why can't everybody just agree on using yyyy-MM-dd, the only correct and sensible date format?! Sweden is the only country that I know has got it right.
