ah, APIs... writing APIs is fine, even typing an API can be great! 😃👍🏻

that's it

No, actually, all of the above is invalid if you've gotta do it in typescript

I think it's kinda cool that almost all of my work _could_ be done within a browser (IDE, docker, etc, etc..)

I'm happy as I am but I like the option

My supervisor's flaky attitude is annoying the shit out of me.
Mate, why would you agree to hire me for the project I wanted to do (and get me to move halfway across the planet) and then tell another colleague that I'm focusing too much on my project and they should give me their extra work?

Like, I get it but I don't get it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

AWS is so secure that even with full access I cannot access the resource I need and the error message is so cryptic every hacker will give up first. Amazing!

I have worked with a handful of very green devs in the last 10 years. A common theme has emerged.

They don't heed any of my advice.

An exercise to the reader:

If you have a Windows machine, but need to work in a Linux environment, what would be your first instinct how to proceed?

In this exercise, you are as green as it gets. You have very little professional development experience, let alone server admin experience. And your lead dev has suggested setting up a VM.

1. Set up a Linux VM
2. Use a live CD or set up a dual boot system
3. Pay for a cloud server and set it up from scratch

I have no idea how this person intends to get any work done on a remote, terminal only, Linux server. That is if I can even get their environment into a sane configuration.

I am currently in the works of designing, building and extending an CRM/MRP system for production lines.

But for some reason I cant seem to find ANY modern sources, papers, books, forums, threads for context on this topic. It’s as if this topic doesn’t exist.

(One thing to point out is that there are sources for business wise analytics but am looking design wise)

I am starting to think that i am not googling it correctly (what a boomer).

Do you have any magic sources, captains of devrant?

While everyone else is working, I took vacation for the whole December. Turns out, that was a brilliant move!

I stroll 20+km every day in this beautiful, puffy scenery.

Love the feeling of closing all those open tabs when you finally fix that bug and finish that task.

I asked Santa to carpet fire every HR from my company, now it's time to log in and see if I've been good enough to have my wish granted.

what on earth do games like starcraft II do that even on more modern hardware their 'game modes' take awhile to initialize ?

why is the data not already organized for fast load ?

I am going to start a random stuff from dev life diary just for your annoyance… cause I’m bored (and kind of want to see how long I can be bothered to keep shit like this going)

So, work day 1 for 2022. Wrote TS and YAML. Yay, IaC is fun. Also, no one has bothered me with dms or calls or any such shite today, which is the way I like it. Leave me be, mofos!

Should still bother to prepare all the shit for tomorrow’s PoC spec planning workshop… what a chore. Couldn’t be bothered, I’d much rather someone else did the specs and I could skip to design and implementation. But I guess this is yet another context where I have to do it all myself. Woo hoo…

My dumb ass just tried to skip forward a few seconds of an online class!

Heart in pain.....
Now my eyes are dry with no tears to cry.
Brain is flashing the same thing again and again and again........

I am amazed. I witnessed (mostly heard) a 14 year old girl calm down a young adult female suffering an anxiety attack before I managed to push through people on the tram. She told her to close her eyes, breath, tell her what she smells, then open her eyes, name first thing that she sees, then look left, name first thing, etc.

This is called sensory grounding and it works. And yeah, what she did was pretty awesome but this isn't what amazed me the most. I asked where she learned that and she said "from a game about apes". And I knew exactly which game she meant. There's a title called Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey and among many interesting mechanics there's one that puts the player in a state of anxiety when they venture into an unknown territory. The way to win that part is by analyzing surroundings by vision, hearing and the sense of smell before a panic countdown goes to zero. It's called "conquering your fear". Holly fuck, I played that and I didn't connect the dots. Are games nowadays teaching kids how to handle real life crisis? Where were those games when I was a kid??

Love when the client knows more than you and tells you to create a report on an imaginary tool they are 100% sure it exists because their friend is an SEO expert and thinks all pages should be running at a 100 percent on lighthouse. Fml.

The world is confusingly entered a dark ages of retards with cell phones and cars

Florida man...

So stressful, let me eat my noodle first …

That’s how I described my country to American.

Every once in a while, execute a SQL update query on a production DB without a where clause.

You know what really grinds my gears?

When a manager writes up some bullshit "this doesn't work".

Then you waste your time following up, and they say, "oh yeah, this so and so pop up came up with validation error X".

YEAH? AND I'M SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT WHEN YOU WRITE ABSOLUTELY NO STEPS TO REPRODUCE, JUST COMING TO ME WITH "HEY, X IS BROKEN" GOD JUST GET FUCKING 1% TECHNICALLY LITERATE THATS ALL I ASK FOR I'M SO SICK OF YOUR SHIT

Did you think that iPad should be the next computer ? Or it should still have to be an iPad ?

If I pipe data from a command using sudo to another that doesn't the second command isn't root right?

Just found a stackoverflow thread that had no answer and 2 comments. Here are the comments:

Person 1: Did you find a solution for this?
Author: Yes, please email me [...@gmail.com].

Bruh, what's wrong with some people???? Writing nothing at all would be better then that

Today I finally had to write a function for which the most descriptive name is objectively kill_all_children

Is there any chance that Linux open source distributions such as Ubuntu would hide malicious code or backdoor or similar thing in their code and simply hide it in their release publication?

It's only in computer science you hear funny names for technical problems.
