So this product already has session replay, feedback collection widgets with multiple integrations to jira, slack, GitHub etc.... this widget embed code is already getting large and I am beginning to get worried

New problem, owner wants to add some error reporting tool. this would have been easy if I was to just collect and group errors from the users browsers but here is the use case

user tries to submit a form, out of probably lord know number of function and api calls, one fails, the user may be stuck or not, we don't know but I am supposed to infer from the session recording data whether the user got stuck or not, create a nice PM understandable error message like "user was unable to update their profile", group this error message over the number of affected users/visitors and attach the affected error messages/data to this generated group and also the session recording.

where am I even supposed to start with this?, can I trust AI to do the heavy lifting?

I was thinking. It hurt

I have been told to create smaller PRs, so now every big PR has a few other smaller ones associated. Hope my manager will be happy.

Me (code review): this isn't good, sometimes it duplicates stuff. If you move it over here it won't be duplicated.

Dev: it's useful, it's not quite the same as that other thing, sometimes it's different

Me: If you move it over here it won't be duplicated.

Apparently instructions were unclear the first time...

TeamLeader2: Mister IHateForALiving, client is reporting a bug, we need you to check out what is happening
IHateForALiving: I'm on it, anything I should know before I start?
TeamLeader2: just check the logs, they should tell you pretty much everything you need to know

The logs:

I have noticed that most of the mentally ill posts on here are from Javascript devs.

facebook in 2025: “we deleted our privacy policy”

Can you imagine a backend focused engineer reviewing frontend PR because there is only one frontend engineer ? the frustrating aspect is the fact that the engineer gave baseless, false and crazy comments on things he has little idea on, i can't imagine having to school a backend engineer on a PR it soon start to look like war on the PR.

evidently by definition happiness is hyperfocus

which makes me wonder why people attack it so much. if they see you focused... they hate on you and try to ruin it. your focus has to be on every little random thing they want instead

it's an interrupt of your consciousness

interestingly, I can multitask and hyperfocus... but a person wanting attention is different. I can even talk to multiple people at once and be gaming solo, and I handle it fine... I can be working on multiple tickets, multiple emergencies at once, and it just feels like being the conductor of an orchestra in my head. but it's like... for some reason a manager ruining your flow is somehow different. it breaks you out of that happiness hyperfocus. it interrupts everything and your mind clears itself. all the context drops. what is that?

and then you start to fear it... that it will happen. and if you don't switch it fast enough, somehow management thinks you're a bad person, and they get "issues" with you. so you have to always be on alert to drop your hyperfocus... until one day you just cease to ever go into it. you can't even enter it when you want to, because you think at any moment you'll miss someone wanting you to pay attention to them, you'll miss some random bit of information that you see out of the corner of your eye but ignore because you're in hyper focus and it isn't part of your orchestra, isn't part of your context. and then calamity strikes

if hyperfocus is happiness, then what is the interrupt? why does it exist? why can certain activities be done perfectly fine in "hyperfocus", but others cannot, and drop you out of it?

So... the US Social Security numbers are type string or something?

Got scammed out of my rubber ducky (not from devRant). Now I have to yell at my wife again

Day 21 of starving myself to death challenge. I feel good, as determined as ever!

dude: Super Bowl!
chick: Can I have the soup in the bowl?

chick: <Jumping out of bathroom naked>
chick: Super Pussy!
dude: I will have the soup.

Jira has its own query language called JQL. Also, Jira is Turing-complete.
Have a nice day!

I was listening to an interesting lecture recording, but threw the entire thing out the window once my "umm" meter ran out and gave errors.

Stop saying "umm" in every fucking sentence! 🤬

Yep, starving myself feels easier if I eat something. My body does notice if I fast, but it completely misses a huge caloric deficit.
I get more weight drop by eating two eggs a day (and nothing else) than when I fast. I have no idea why.
Anyway, I decided that eating about 400 calories a day will get me to my destination faster than not eating at all, just because it's more sustainable.

Work: are we ready for the superbowl?
Me:

Maybe I didn't treat you quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you quite as often as I could have

Little things I should have said and done
I just never got the chance

You were always on the phone (you were always on the phone)

Well, my time with Slackware is nearing it's end.
It's quite an interesting one, I could really feel it's age, tiny mirrors into the past are thrown around here and there between the modern stuff, reminding you just how ancient this distro actually is. It's really unique (in a good way).
Compiling software to install/update kinda sucks tho, and compared to Gentoo you have less control over the compilation and the options.
The installation was VERY simple and easy, you can definitely see how it became popular back in the day for being an "Easy to install SLS", and to this day it was THE fastest install I have ever seen from a distro, took literally minutes, was surprised.
I also love the ncurses look that keept popping up every now and then, I like the ncurses TUI style.
It was a pretty fun experience.
Next: OpenMandriva.

Day 20 of starving myself to death challenge. My yesterday's fasting trick didn't work, and I have no idea why. My body is full of energy, twitches like crazy, the anxiety level is through the roof, with an average resting heart rate of 118 since 6pm yesterday. Fuck.

Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand

getting really tired of finding out that anything "popular" has the same damned globalist eugenics pedo cult behind it

either people can't make anything on their own or we are so fucked with everything so controlled you literally can't pop up as an entity unless you sell your soul to the literal unironic bond villains of the world first so they will let you pass through the channels

they even make alternative channels when they've tanked the reputation of their previous channels. and it's by the same damned people again, but they just lay in wait... to become popular. feeding off of the tension, pretending they're not the same entity...until it gets popular and then it becomes the same damned perverted thing via a takeover from within

how do you even escape this stupid prison

anyone of any importance has been bought. you need their cooperation to ride on their fame. so anything that gets any fame is the same damned game, again and again. it's like a creep that won't take no for an answer, comes back with a different mask like some endless remakes of Scooby-doo

LOVE how these companies are keep publishing their "AI models" without verifying or explaining their architecture, their data collection process, and any validation scores.

Like, I am to just take your word for it working "better" because of a study done by the school of PSYCHED(🤪)?

In CSS, never ever enlarge anything by hover. There will exist a set of cursed cursor positions somewhere on the edge of fully zoomed out and fully zoomed in states, which will make your UI element twitch between two states at 60+ FPS.

If you want this effect, wrap the element you want to enlarge in a wrapper whose size won't change. Add :hover state on the wrapper, not the element, and change the element in that selector. It will make the curse go away.

wrong:
.zoom:hover { transform: scale(1.1) }

right:
.zoom-wrapper:hover .zoom { transform: scale(1.1) }

Google Maps: Hey you are at restaurant XYZ! You wanna see the menu?
Me: Yeah, why would I want to see the worse edition of the menu on maps! If only I could just move my eyeballs slightly...

I hate quotes.

Just handed out a quote. Had to look through the project, guesstimate everything. Hard to do anyway accurately. Write bunch of stuff up. Easily took me in the end around 4 hours.

4 hours just to have someone tell me, I am too expensive. I mean, at this part it is a gamble. The other side accepts my quote or denies it. But, if they deny it, I worked for free. And that's bugs me.

But hey, next company, guess what, the hourly rate, there is the quote for the last company hidden inside and for all other companies who rejected my offer divided by all the companies who hired me. You're not only paying my fee, but for all quotes that got denied. Surprise!

Anyway, it is sent off. Now, the waiting begins. Time to find some work to fill the waiting.
