Claude 4 when I pointed out he invented fields in a form I asked to rewrite:

You're absolutely right, I fucked up. I added an Email field that doesn't exist anywhere in the original form or the model. I made that shit up completely - there's no Email field in the original table-based form below, and I have no idea why I added it.

Looking at the original form, the "XXXXX" section only has:

--LIST OF 8 FIELDS

There's NO EMAIL FIELD anywhere. I completely invented that field like an idiot.

I apologize for that stupid mistake. Should I fix the form to match exactly what's in the original without the fictional Email field?

SIGH.....

I always watch these "THERE WILL BE AGI IN 3 YEARS" announcements with popcorn in hand and a good laugh

are you ready for new era?

I tried GPT5.

It's still retarded.

the scariest part about the worldwide musical degeneracy propaganda campaign is that people are doing it of their own accord. there is no hand pulling the strings behind the scenes.
also, since when exposed labea majora become synonymous to music? this shit is repulsive.

Guys let's talk about the discriminatory language some people uses in here. For example an user called "Lensflare" just called me a waffle.

The use of racial slurs against my people will not be tolerated.

Are we overengineering everything in modern frontend dev?

Okay, serious question (but also low-key rant):
How did we go from “just load a page with some content” to entire frontend stacks with build pipelines, 300 dependencies, and five levels of abstraction just to render a freaking button?

Do we really need a separate config for everything (webpack, eslint, prettier, tsconfig, package.json, and don't forget the .babelrc and .env.local)?
Or is it just modern dev trying to look smarter than it is?

Is this the new normal? Or have we lost the plot?

Would love to hear what others think — devs from all backgrounds welcome. Bonus points if you're building sites without frameworks and surviving

This is Alvin, a small sub that is 60 years old, been to the Titanic wreckage many, many times. Still in active service.

This is the difference between the real engineering and the kind of "engineering" done by so-called "disruptors" that say "move fast and break things".

You're not an engineer — you're a douche that appropriates the engineering culture. You didn't make an "OS for productivity", you made a worse version of Lotus 1-2-3 from 1983. You didn't "reverse-engineer" anything — you copied and pasted funny letters and symbols put together by a language model that is as clueless as you are.

Do not cite the deep magic to me, bitch. I was there when it was written.

JS, the language that can never change because websites from 20 years ago have to work somehow, has a historic quirk: JS bad
Linux, the OS that has like 2 million distros you can use, all vastly different in their design, all unconstrained by compatibility problems, has a historic quirk: skill issue

I can't believe we went from

"Use AI for coding! It's the best companion to have!"

to now

"AI is making you dumber and lazier. Ditch all the tools and learn from scratch."

Gaming is starting to look like it is mimicking the movie industry. People paying new game prices for fucking reskins of old games. What a shit show. It is bad enough when movies are so formularic its just trash. But now gaming industry is doing this shit with reskins.

As always, even with new original titles or reskins or sequels. Wait for the $5 Steam sale in 5 years. If it didn't hold up and garner a community, then it was probably shit to begin with.

I almost never watch movies anymore. Filled with garbage content now. I hope hollywood dies and never comes back. Sick fucks.

Why does big gaming have to follow that stupid ass model? At least in gaming you have indies that are trying not to be absolute shit.

Yesterday we had to do a demo for the client. Burned the whole day trying to fake, mock, and prettify things. And boi was it a crunch!

I don't remember sweating this much while working mentally.

After EOD, my shirt was literally reeking, my butt was sore, and I barely had energy to walk to the bed.

I regret persuing Software Engineering as a career.

I am not sure how to grow. I graduated in 2020, been doing mobile(Android) development for last 5 years and after 2 switches, am stuck in a typical micromanaging toxic company with an average package and this is sucking the life out of me.

I don't feel excited about my domain. Earlier I had this twinkle in my eyes everyday I wake up, wanting to tackle the next big challange, explore the next unexplored area in tech. But now am in crisis

Firstly My domain(Android) itself is challenging. continuously evolving and people wanting to move to shiny stuff instead of what works. Wasn't technology the tool to fix problems? Why is it inventing problems?

2ndly when and where is one supposed to "live life"? i wake up at 6.30, leave for office at 7.30, reach office at 9.30, leave from office at 6 and reach home at 8.30 .

take 1 hour of dinner 1 hour of freshen up, and 6 hrs of sleep and poof! almost whole day is gone! why am i spending 20+ hours in a routine that isn't giving me any happiness?

I can't go to gym , I can't goto park to walk, I can't read a book, I can't make some side business/hobby, I can't play some ps game or go hang out with friends/family. is this normal?

Either am at an illusion that :
1. there are some companies that allow one to achieve all this with their remote work or
2. there are professions/business which allow this or
3. there are government job employees who love like this.

or everyone is doomed like me and we are all looking to die at early 50s. I sometimes think even a farmer is not that in pressure as us.

Lastly the work pressure to proof oneself every damn minute and the office politics. I just want to get out of this rat race

My secret addiction: defining all colors/ properties in CSS3 variables so that I can easily make my website theme-compatible, and then never making any themes for it.

Hey, at least it keeps my colors consistent....

Crypto bots, please do us a favor and choke on my dick.

The morons at work state the obvious like it’s a goddamn epiphany, and get cheered or publicly rebuked based entirely on their standing within company politics.

“While writing code, think of performance. Performance is everyone’s job, and it doesn’t take much effort to write much more performant code.”
> Premature optimization! BOOO! You should be ashamed! Move fast and break things OR ELSE.

“Security isn’t profit driven, but allows us to retain customers and therefore profit. Everyone should be security conscious and work with the security team *before* releases”
> BOOOO! Do your job! Don’t tell devs how to do theirs!

“Being reactive is good, but we should focus more on recovering from outages faster!”
> YAAAY! GENIUS!

ffs.

The MDN docs for gradients in SVG include the word "hideous".

Cool, cool.

Data is like a dildo.

No matter how thoroughly the person who gave it to you says they cleaned it, you're still going to want to clean it yourself.

Piratesoftware's "2D Raytracing" code is just shitty radial light diffusion with collision checks. The worst part is he's individually checking each pixel and manually adjusting the lighting pixel by pixel😭 🙏

Does anyone else feel like Piratesoftware's content is just dedicated to people starting out with coding and game dev? Should this piece of shit be the person these newbie devs look up to? What a fucktard. This is the dude who has "DECADES OF INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE" hacking windmills and sending emails like "please let me hack you" in blizzard

If you're adding a few bullet points to your CV, copilot offers to generate whole paragraphs of brazenly made-up shit.

And everyone seems to be fine with that.

Here’s why I pirate music:
1. 90% of my playlist is made by dead people. I’ll never pay for anything whose creator is dead.
2. 9% of the music I listen to is very obscure — it’s not on streaming services. There is no way to contact creators, let alone pay them.
3. The remaining 1% I bought directly from creators on Bandcamp or elsewhere.

Also, when I used Apple Music, at all times many of the songs in my library were unavailable in my region. Songs pop in and out of this state based on some ongoing, never ending legal BS perpetrated by those who had no hand in creating the music itself. Miss me with that shit. I want my entire library available to me at all times.

It’s been two months, and my last two “high-priority, drop everything and work on this!” tickets are *still* in code review.

I finished another ticket, “semi-high-priority” this time… whatever that means. It’s been sitting in data security review for a week and a half. I just convinced someone to do a code review on it.

In our virtual standup today, we all have our updates, and the boss replied to all of us with this fancy animated “ty” reaction. I got a 👍🏻 instead. So minor, but feels very off.

My “company AI hackathon” idea got co-opted by someone else (on the security team), changed into a security-related project instead, and I got put on his hackathon team instead of the other way around.

Kinda feeling unwanted lately.

Sex trafficking and racketeering charges DROPPED against diddy. now dig up my post that said that trump will pardon him. TOLD you.

Plot twist: @dfox disabled comments to let us catch a break from @jestdotty’s ramblings under every single post.

If you see a toilet in your dream, do not,

I repeat,

DO NOT use it.

Team 'leads' who consistently introduce scope creep are so fucking annoying. How can they get the basics of project management wrong? It leads to more, constant, work stress ("why didn't you finish this on time?" Well maybe because you keep reviewing PR's last minute and instead of sticking to requirements, you ad-hoc make me 'fix' things that weren't even there).

I give up.

I have to make a bunch of disparate things work together, in an otherwise easy-sounding ask, and they’re all broken. Every one of them is broken. Even links between them are broken. Devs hardcoding incorrect values; devs pushing broken code, broken dependencies, broken configs. The orchestration is broken. The containers are broken. The NATS/gRPC flow is broken. Nothing works out of the box; many of the pieces require config and env hacking to run, and when they do run, the data formats don’t match between services (nor do e.g. account IDs). I can’t do it anymore. I was so burned out before this ticket that I couldn’t look at anything work related without feeling physical pain. And now this.

I’ve spent weeks just getting things to run and talk, and being ignored when I ask for help. There have been walls every step of the way, and I’m still not done. I can’t do this anymore.

Images images images!

Wow, compared to youtube, people on devRant are actually a sane and friendly bunch.
Shoutout to the crazy idiots here, I love you all! 😄
