I work with idiots.

That is all.

How the fuck did the engineers at Tiktok pull off the American 'ban' so seamlessly. Take it down and then put it back with little loss to functionality.

How do you think they accomplished that with so many accounts.

Anyone works there can comment?

By the time you get to need to learn Kubernetes, people are usually too far deep in their engineering careers and already have this 'not even more shit' fatigue.

I've been using Void Linux on servers for years. I decided to finally contribute some packages, and wrote a tool to make it easier to build packages outside of the standard repository. This post covers some useful tools in Void, my voidup package building tool, and many of the issues I encountered which make me wonder if I should keep support Void Linux.

Not remembering something isn’t an indicator that you are busy, it just proves u have bad memory and poor management skills.

Is devRant Losing Its Spark?

Hey ranters,
Anyone else notice how quiet devRant has become? Back in 2016-2017, this place was buzzing with energy, but now it’s down to just 10-12 rants a week. What happened? Did competition from platforms like Reddit or Discord take over, or did devRant stop evolving?

I still believe this platform has huge potential—developers will always need a space to vent and connect. But without fresh ideas or a clear roadmap, it feels like devRant is fading.

To the creators: what’s the plan? To the community: do you feel the same? Let’s discuss!

A concerned dev.

I'm not a 10x developer. It's you who are 0.1x developers

Well, the rant is because I have to go to Madrid twice a month, which is annoying.

But now I'm writing your GPU drivers, bitches 😂.

More concretely, for those who may care, gonna work in HLSL to spir-v conversion.

Worse than the "working on my machine".

Meet the "works on every machine but the boss laptop".

Bonus point if the issue appeared out of the blue during the night.

Me: Hey, guys, this stuff is seriously flammable. Like, I’m surprised it hasn’t caught fire yet. I really want to clean it up. Here’s how I’d make it better.

Management: No. It’s fine, it works. Don’t touch it. It’s getting replaced anyway. Just add the things on top like we asked you to, and call it a day.

Me: Are you sure? This is seriously going to be a problem.

Management: We just said it’s getting replaced. Don’t. touch. anything. OK?

Me: alright.

… Eight weeks later …

Management: so this thing caught fire over the weekend, and the fire spread to other areas. We’re doing some emergency cleanup. The new guy looked at it and figured out why, and has some great ideas on fixing it, so give him some well-deserved praise!

Me: Hey! I told you about this months ago!

Management: Yes. I tuned out during today’s firefighting meetings. But it’s important to strike a balance in everyone’s style. Do you have any other concerns?

My daily standup currently is an hour long debugging session what happened to our servers... Idk why I'm even present since I'm just a frontend dev that does 0 work on this product.

Open letter to any website that is trying to implement "smooth scrolling" on their website using JavaScript: stop, consider how awful it is 100% of the time, and kill yourself please.

I did it.

I finally fucked prod.

And had to do open heart surgery on the service to get it unfucked.

Shit happens. Luckily its internal prod only...

Anyone got a funny derogatory term for someone that is an AI fanboy a bit too much

Priorities.

I know I rag on Javascript, but this is actually how I see it. It always did what I needed, but I am not enamored nor dismayed by it. I think the technology behind it is pretty cool too.

No one fucking knows how to handle/raise errors.

I feel like this is the least talked topic in all fucking programming industry. This shit needs to be tought even more than the fucking SOLID, DRY, KISS, YAGNI and other kinds of buzzwords that fancy devs love tossing left and right.

Basically everyone just does "whatever you dumb error just dont bother me". They will just log/return null/ignore the errors and be in their oblivion with bugs propagating upstream the call stack.

"Throwing errors you say? Ew, why do you want to produce more errors?". Yeah, right, just stick another log/return null/or ignore the fact that the monke calling your function with bullshit arguments.

"But bro it's so difficult and time consuming and it would never happen!" Yes, you fucker! Yes! Programming IS fucking difficult if you want reliable systems! Did you not know that!? Well now you do! Go and fucking learn it!

FUCK!11!1!!

I kinda want to quit programming and restore vintage bicycles instead.

No raise. Not like I single handedly rewrote one of our weirdest and most complex legacy code bases or anything... Oh and even so they whined about how long that took that's probably reason they'll cite if I ask about this lack of raise thing.

I mean, technically I got a little more just because the tax rates are different for the new financial year but come on

Week : 50

How is the weekend going?

Which is your favorite color? Why?

Previous Week : https://devrant.com/rants/10940947

came into my house at 3:00 am (i was fucking my whore ex blonde gf). saw a fucking thief break into my house and steal my shit. when he saw me he ran like the biggest fucking pussy. i was screaming and chasing the fucker. but he jumped over the fence like an asshole and broke his back. but got up and ran away

i couldnt identify him. couldn't see his face cause he was turned around and wearing a black cap. black sports clothes. short fade hair or bald. probably a fucking skinhead robbing people to buy drugs

he stole my dad's phone, his wireless earbuds, mom's medical documents and fucking cups! who the fuck steals cups??? what a fucking retard!

he couldn't steal more cause it seems like i entered the house minutes after he broke in

why some bulLshit always happens to me

I've decided that today will not be a productive work day.

Every layout goal must take hours of frustrating intuition-destroying trial and error, followed by documentation cross-examination, MRE building, upstream bug-filing, and workaround pursuits.
