Why is Musk not shot in the face yet?

Designers are divided into those who did create fonts and those who didn't.

It would be nice and more community spirit if people on YouTube would:

- stop using A.I. for voice-over
- stop using A.I. for random comments
- stop using A.I. for video content

It's beginning to become confusing what's real and what's not. I admire real creators, not quick-buck fakers.

UX didn't design with localized strings in other locales being up to ~40% longer in their mock ups

Doing some JavaScript right now and holy moly is this one spaghetti ass language

Promises referencing closures referencing local variables referencing message handlers referencing resolve callbacks referencing ... 😵‍💫

if you could have immortality, would you do it?

you're not allowed to hack computers, you get a felony for that

but hacking human brains is totally fine

I was today-years-old when I found out that a form with a post action will auto-redirect to the response URL, how about that!

Did you know there was a judaism school who just hated utf8?

Azure sucks!

I have been pulling my hair off using Azure. All questions I posted on their support doesn't have any answers.

Their documentation is overwhelming as hell, they don't provide enough examples. They just put information like they expect the user already knows it.

F*K U AZURE

Can Jews fuck off from monopolizing every goddamn thing?

Like please get the fuck off planet Earth.

We are refactoring the core feature of our unique selling point of our backend that all our products use.

And our product manager just decided that we will roll it out on Wednesday and we will not do any tests. r/whatcouldgowrong

Kung fury omg

A shout out to those considering deleting their dR account [esp. old timers here] and still on the fence. If you can -- don't.

If you're an old timer here, chances are you actually dev-ranted about real dev issues and possibly posted a solution found after all the frustration.

If you delete your acc, all these posts will disappear. Leave them be. Let them be a contribution to the community, to your fellow devs.

If this platform is no longer worth your time [can't blame you, really], you can simply log out and not come back here :)

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.

Your health is the ultimate flex

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

My company: "you don't have a choice what you work on"
My company on legal paperwork: "we've given them choice of what they work on to support and develop them as best as possible"

Both of those are verbatim quotes. I laughed. I mean, I now want to punch someone, but I laughed before the violence.

At $work, I just learned that a daemon on prod makes an SFTP connection to the same domain every 0.5 to 10 seconds, all day long, every single day. That’s a minimum of 8,640 connections per day!

The senior developer responsible for it had the dev skills of a junior and the management skills of a puppet, but she’s a “disadvantaged minority” and is great at stealing credit and throwing people under the bus. Naturally, she has been given multiple promotions and a team to lead… which she fills exclusively with other Indians, all of them at her skill level or below. (I used to do their code reviews and security reviews.)

When I asked one of the fintech managers (a former dev) about the crazy number of SFTP connections, he said “[Her team] did that intentionally, as it didn’t used to be that way. They must have had a reason” and cut me off.

Okay then.
Not my garden, not my fertilizer.
Just another day weeding the fields in hell.

Is just me or being a developer has become a complete nightmare?
I mean, I never expected when I got into it to have a simple life in the first place, it's a fucking problems solving job.
But heck, I'm in the field from more than 12 years and something has definitely changed for the worse. Believe me I am just seeking for a general consensus not approval or anything, but it doesn't feel anything like 10 years ago.

I have worked with .NET mostly in all his sauces from aspx, wpf, up to today .NET 10 and C#13 and in the meanwhile it happened that I needed to do tech assistance, code in exoteric shit, use arduinos and raspberries, use perl, java, turn into full stack with databases, devops and shit.

Each year it's worse, the "developer" word gets more and more blurred word to say "the one who must know everything".
I'm asked to know docker, kubernetes, kafka, CI/CD and devop shit, web dev, to get ertifications, to learn how AI works to the level of learning again matht to do matrix interpolations, to get on data science, python, numpy, pandas, pytorch and shit, to know every OS, to know about networking because APIs now have to use rest, a single verb for every action, because if routers and new communication protocols break you have to know and figure out why.

Not to mention that marketing and sales guy shove up the big customers ass every new tecnology to make our work look like bling-a-ling top notch 1% developer stuff that always use latest bleeding edge technology and you're forced to learn new immature frameworks every 2 months or so (latest being various javascript/typescript diagramming libraries).

Every idiot feels entitled to puke out a new framework or supersets of existing languages. I lost count how many supersets css has that I had to peek and learn lol.

Every fucking simple software I did from scratch and designed by myself, web portals for big pharma were much simple than whatever PM i get assigned to are and guess what, I published it and fixed ofc some bugs, but most bugs are related to customer unstable datasets and well, I never had bugs after the first few weeks, except once every few months and nothing serious.

The fucking things they let me do now are hypercomplicated and I spend days fixing other people bugs and we get some hair pulling structural problems becuase they shove in all they can (mediator patterns are a must): kafka, docker, messagebus, whatever javascript clusterfuck they can, patchworks of html and css blurred out in layers of hierarchical scss or sass, slapped into angular (the most immature and crappy shit in js) that has all of his hidden ways to bury and hide DOM (ng-deep: anyone? :host anyone?).

And it's all like this. Whenever I put hands everyone wants to do his little frankeinstein experiment cooking togheter in a cauldron a shit ton of different stuff, overcomplicated patterns.

it's a challenge at shooting flies with bazookas.

I'm really tired of technology at all, not only for my jobs. This fucking trend is a plague spread everywhere and now, since everyone has to deal with it, everything is unstable.

In my daily usage of a smartphone app crashes a lot or have weird troubles, slowness, websites are pretending to be full blown app with this shitty SPA trend and are filled with bugs and incompatibilites.

Basically every tech tool we use is 100% more prone to bugs than 10 years ago.I'm really thinking to find a simple job like baker or shit and get an old phone that just can call and send SMS.
I need to get out of tech for a few years to get back my sanity.

This is not a problem-solving job anymore.
10 years ago I needed to study too but once I got the tools in my hands the job was fun, you got a magic wrench and sky was the limit.

Now you got to fucking learn a ton of bullshit everyday and it's not like you see a end on it, everyday people push out new unstable and bugged shit waiting for devs to be guinea pigs for them. You gotta learn a ton of stuff of which 3/4 will be useless/obsolete/broken and considered inefficient the next month.

jeeeeeez

As a wokoid leftist, I have an easier time than most to debug my code.

You know, coz I like eating bugs.

Running a special today. My performance at work will be 40% off

Imagine a world where Germany created the first nuclear weapons and won the world war.

Since they won, they will be the rightful heroes and victors that write history. Transgenders like tosensei won't feel shame and guilt to be honest about his feelings of Adolph Hitler.

We would living in such a great world where there are:

- No transgenders
- No down syndrome "people"
- No autists
- No Indian "people" or Pajeets 💩
- No Jews
- No Disneyland
- No LGTBQSONYHDMIPS5
- No Israel
- A Free Palestine
- A Free Middle East

In other words, a utopia.

for some reason, I have started to despise people who follow the rules, and people who conform

but I guess thanks to these sheeple I get to enjoy life

What absolute fucknut has come up with the idea to hand in reports in Figma?! I hope you choke on your vegan chai latte and die on the floor of some random starbucks.

I wrote my first book at 6. It had 6 pages and it was about an otter

How can something called SOAP be such filthy shit. No wonder people wanted to build local-only software back then.
