Designers are divided into those who did create fonts and those who didn't.

If you were a code antipattern, what would it be?

I'm definitely NIH -- "Not Invented Here".

I write everything from scratch. When I don't, more often than not, I don't install code deps -- I copy their code and modify it. I port it to my set of utils, my syntax preferences, optimize it, strip parts and modes I don't need, and at the end there's no clear line between what was my code and what wasn't. My code doesn't import, it absorbs.

How is the weekend going?

What's your "I can't believe other people don't know this" hack?

I used to be polygamous and I've never really thought about the difficulties of monogamy, just skipped the whole thing

how do you remain monogamous hanging with vampires =-=

what counts as not being monogamous? if you betray your lover with the obsession for a skill, a career, a hobby that's fine... but what if it's for a cult of personality? WHERE IS THE LINE

did you know people have like, spiritual wives/husbands at work. to me that always seemed gross

so now I'm confused

Why is Musk not shot in the face yet?

debugging async io code this morning instead of being on a date with my beautiful girlfriend.

Zscaler shits itself if you can reach the VPN server from multiple interfaces with different public IPs. Toy quality crap.

Omfg.. I couldn't understand what the doc jotted down on the recipe about using the prescribed drug. Took a pic, uploaded to chatgpt -- it transcribed dvery single word correctly.

Dear Lord....

Don't you love it when the docs say that RTCDataChannel is a transferable object and then you try to send it to a service worker and your browser tells you it isn't transferable

I hecking looove web development 😇🔫

Probably my least favourite thing about Microsoft's pretend Git suppoort is how Visual Studio doesn't show reasonable merges for csproj files when Git's own annotations in those files are almost always optimal, and they could literally just parse out those diff markers.
Instead they have a custom dummy diff engine that marks the entire contents of both files as conflicting.

Or they could do the sensible, ideal thing and diff the XML DOM, but that may set the bar too high.

It would be nice and more community spirit if people on YouTube would:

- stop using A.I. for voice-over
- stop using A.I. for random comments
- stop using A.I. for video content

It's beginning to become confusing what's real and what's not. I admire real creators, not quick-buck fakers.

Have my Japanese driving license today.

Wish me luck.

If I pass I'm buying an SUV and getting bitches

If you want to make a passable UI, let chatgpt make it.
If you want to make a good UI, make it yourself.
If you want to make a great UI, test it in iOS Safari as you make it.

I just HAVE to get this off my chest:
(Many of you might not know what this is about but I certainly don't care.)
The Prusa3D website is absolutely terrible. It is an absolute UI/UX nightmare. There are way too many elements in the top navigation bar and the overall experience is just really bad. On top of that, the site seems to be really slow lately. It is so frustratingly hard to find the right documentation for the thing you're trying to assemble or troubleshoot. Today I noticed that it runs on Wordpress. Believe me when I tell you that I almost threw up finding out about that. Anyway, I think Prusa is doing a good job with their printers and hardware, their software is also fine but when it comes to their website ... boy!

Hey darling I lasted three more seconds on average this week

Job search isn't easy.

Not because there aren't any jobs, but because I am afraid of anything that seems remotely like my current toxic workplace.

Fack.

Tired of everything.

My daughter: "why don't you want to do a pinkie promise?"

Me: "because promises have been supported natively for like ten years now."

I'm working w/ idiots.

Since a week ago, builds have started being bundled w/ this interesting folder called 'DeleteBeforeSubmission'.

Immediately mentioned the problem, but no action has been taken thus far. Sure, they might !care whether it is bundled or !. If whoever submits the builds for release manually removes those folders prior to submitting the game - fine.

Thing is... the shit is heavy. Depending on the platform, it's ~~500 MB up to some ~~2 GB on top of the actual size of the build. So, apart from our NAS storing garbage, people have to download unnecessarily larger files.

But hey - why do something about it. It's fine, right?

My twelve years old daughter saw me using an eletric mixer to puree potatoes, instead of the potato smasher.
She screamed: "You're using AI! That's cheating!"

When did "AI" replaced "Automation"?!?!
It's just like "woke", the word is meaningless now.

Omfg.

Time to delete entire git history.

The difference between my CSS and your CSS is that you write z-index: 999999, and I write z-index: 2 to get the same effect.

I get no respect

My colleague thought process became the average of all possible existing LLMs. He has perplexity, ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor open on different tabs every time I go check on him. He is literally performing majority vote on all possible LLMs -> he basically stopped thinking.

I cannot trust somebody that uses Obsidian

Isn’t it funny how you don’t know how to do web, yet your code looks like a user agent string?

Me, reading random wikipedia:

A boutonnière (French: [bu.tɔ.njɛʁ]) or butthole (British English) is a floral decoration, typically a single flower or bud, worn on the lapel of a tuxedo or suit jacket.

Wait, that can't be right

butthole.
buttonhole.

OOOOOH

messy backend API. root level payload object has a property that is being repeated in a property that takes an array of objects where this same property exists in each object in this array.

why do people work in a messy manner like this? why pass the same data twice in the exact same request?
