opposite of feature creep

the lighter was invented before the match

fake knowledge era

apparently "cure for depression" posts are all clips of animals or babies that literally don't know any better that any trust they extend to someone will get them slapped and abused for dumb useless shit and any help they extend to someone will get them manipulated and exploited for their good graces

TFW you think stating your intent and what you want will get you discriminated against for funsies so they can pull you around and make sure you never get what you want

everything suuuuuucks, faaaawk

every time I correct the AI it gives me compliments

and it keeps giving me fuzzy feelings now

but I'm a robot. this isn't supposed to happen. get out of my head!

look at worse codebases / children to feel ok about mangling yours!

*tries to avoid using refcells* fuuuuuck

all cuz serde can't serialize them well but I can build a custom serializer/deserializer. I'm not sure this constraint is worth it

on one hand I would love to just build something entirely in enums with no traits or RC or refcell but on the other hand this is proving to be too hard

I miss grooveshark

had radios people voted on the next song. a chat that was filled with programmers that just wanted tunes during their workday. those were the days

now it's either Spotify or defunct if it's anything similar to that

if a job says AI I firstly have no idea what they're doing and secondly I don't want to participate

I don't know if I'm being too judgmental. just seems like a fad

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...

I need a generator and rust doesn't have generators... sigh

"extra unstable feature" on nightly 🤪

that feel when you're comforted by nobody getting back to you

I remembered my motto

"I solve problems so you don't have to"

pretty good actually

somehow I figured in rust I wouldn't have to keep track of "safety" things in my head, like the constant cognitive overload of JavaScript where you have to know if variables exist and what form they are that everyone complains about

and I think I frustrated myself thinking rust is "safe" somehow (when it isn't, there's conceptual leaks everywhere)

I think it's just a reduction of the cognitive load of tracking but not the entire elimination of it

be as creative as deep fried memes

ohno, my hindsight is rose-tinted

huh figured AI was the best with JavaScript but it's been pretty subpar

it can't seem to figure out how to glue various libraries together. also keeps giving me outdated syntaxes

maybe I actually have to read the electron docs myself I guess... so lazy

they added decorators to JavaScript ಠ_ಠ

that shit is why python made no sense to me, and why I wanted to avoid spring in java

guess my standards are zilch now though. you say jump I say how high

let's make JavaScript look like java. thanks nestjs. I guess since people are using it. the hosting options / fees for these suck. ew lol

gonna just make something stupid with it, that won't be hosted anywhere because heroku banned me ages ago for having actually useful websites

you know... I've forgotten that I've seen modern warfare gore stuff and we first worlders complain about some dumb shit. d'oh

like can't afford food? lol. just normal day elsewhere

not pretty but guess it works. idealic world they told us was fake, we're a bit corrupt, a little tortured and warped, monkeys throwing things at each other rudely... but it ain't bullets (yet?)

why does the government keep giving me terms and conditions

kind of suspicious, isn't it?

I've done it. about a decade ago a rich middle eastern co worker of mine, whom we were the greatest of friends, got on my case about how I should bitch to my ISP and whatever else to get good deals. I laughed and said that wasn't me, fully knowing this trick already. he kept at it, being fully serious in teaching me this skill cuz goddamn I'm too nice to people, people tell me all the time, I guess?

well I've done it. was so fed up and fatalistically depressed yesterday I wrote a bitching email and sent it on a "fuck this shit" whim. now I get an email back telling me how valuable I am, how invaluable all my feedback was (multiple times, and there was a lot), and evidently I'm getting escalated to management. I don't even know what I want I'm just PMSing honestly. fuck this world man

oh yeah I don't have income but need to fix my laptop. fatalism. all I can do is spend money and yet I feel miserable anyway because everything is imperfect. I swear it must be these anti dopamine pills they gave me. I'll be medicalized into homelessness I bet! IF I KEEP BITCHING WILL ALL MY PROBLEMS BE SOLVED. GUESS I'VE REACHED THE POINT WHERE THAT'S AN OPTION FOR ME NOW

damned cucumbers been slowly going from 2$ to now 5$ per pack. even my crypto gains are entirely wiped out by this inflation

need a job. don't have a brain to even do a goddamned thing. may as well die I guess

software is so fragile,
hardware is too

... wetware as well

ah fuck man

> It is true that there is no person who wishes to be disliked. But look at it this way: what should one do to not be disliked by anyone? There is only one answer: it is to constantly gauge other people’s feelings, while swearing loyalty to all of them. If there are ten people, one must swear loyalty to all ten. When one does that, for the time being one will have succeeded in not being disliked by anyone. But at this point, there is a great contradiction looming. One swears loyalty to all ten people out of the single-minded desire to not be disliked. This is like a politician who has fallen into populism and begun to make impossible promises and accept responsibilities that are beyond him. Naturally, his lies will come to light before long. He will lose people’s trust, and turn his own life into one of greater suffering. And, of course, the stress of continual lying has all kinds of consequences. Please grasp this point. If one is living in a such a way as to satisfy other people’s expectations, and one is entrusting one’s own life to others, that is a way of living in which one is lying to oneself, and continuing that lying to include the people around one.

the answer to everything is money

in imperative languages spaghetti code might just be the lay of the land
