As if the tech stack weren't enough, now they also have personality requirements too. LOL.

just cracked a new girl. i now have a 4 girl roster that I'm rotating. 1 of them is my ex blonde whore. 1 is a full gf of 1.5 years. one is a random side ho. and this new girl is also a side ho for now but leaning towards gf #2. none of them know about each other.

every time i sleep with my gfs i have a huge urge to fart and shit😪😪😪 why?

i want to fart so much its abnormal. then i want to shit too. where does all the gas come from?

now i arrived home and the first thing i did was fart a lot. as i write this rant im letting out a big ass shit too. my belly is no longer bloated and i feel lighter.

if i eat 1 meal a day where does all the air inside me that turns into farts and shit come from?

Managing the IT infrastructure for a traditional logistics company is pure chaos. Just spent the whole weekend rebuilding the server architecture and optimizing the load speed for our main site: thanhhungvn.vn. The old legacy code was literally held together by duct tape and hope. At least the booking system for moving services isn't crashing every time we get a spike in traffic now. Time for a lot of coffee.

I've been told, on many occasions, by many people that I have problems w/ communication w/ people...

...yet _I_ am the guy who has to create a fucking report asking people whether a _major_ change has been intentional or just a fuckup.

Boggles the mind that something as crucial as deprecating something that will impact an ostensibly large portion of our player-base isn't provided as a heads-up && I find out about it when inspecting the build, myself.

every time I get a mass-sent corporate "casual" email with my real first name at the top I feel like Will Smith at the Grammy's

Job response, even though on their website they have a role open explicitly for my role: "We cannot accommodate more candidates right now. Perhaps next year things can change"

...next year...

Same response. Oh... it's automated. lol

I did not expect for blogs to run the world

this is just such a plot twist I can't even

who saw this coming, seriously!

it's not the satanists or the occultists. it's not the government. it's not the "deep state" or secret societies... it's the writers of society lol

writing seems too banal to be anything of note. especially in modern era where everyone writes an awful lot of retarded shit on social media. no one ever has a unique opinion. no one even knows of history or classics. when I found books on a damned dark net website I had cried. my best friends ended up dead people that lived long ago. but I didn't see the ecosystem. all I saw is their ideas are better than modern ideas. so many authors got to the correct essence of a thing but then got forgotten by history. it made no sense to me why we laud our own greatness, as if now is the best time ever, when so much insight, rightness, even techniques and technology has been just simply forgotten. not even lost just... it's there. just no one knows. we have the biggest library ever constructed by man. we have search engines. and all of it is never consulted. we bumble around like idiots

and if you point out brown water a lion is swimming in is not in fact poop but just soil reddit tells you to vamanos

Our manager put in his notice last month. His last day is tomorrow. Earlier this week, our director got on our daily stand to tell us the manager of our devops group was "no longer with the company."

I called a former employee who kept up with him and found out he was fired the day before. Apparently the VP had wanted to fire him years ago for old grudges. Firing a devops manager with 5+ years of institutional knowledge the same week the manager who's been there for 7+ years is leaving seems fucking insane.

I also found out before I started there, an older director, in his 50s, walked into the VPs office one day, dropped his laptop on the guy's desk and said, "I'm retiring," walked out and left his badge at the front desk. Never responded to a single phone call.

This place is a shit show. I kinda want to apply for a manager position while also looking for new jobs. Part of me wants "manager" on my resume, just so I can have a shot at a not-shit management job, but that means I'd have to be in hell for a while at this company.

btw AI is vastly worse at writing than programming

which is ironic. because that's all it was trained on. programming is the extra feature on the whole writing foundation...

it seems people can't tell when something doesn't have a consciousness... when it isn't talking in "meaning". that is such a grotesque and disturbing fact we have discovered as a species. top macabre.

kind of makes sense. nobody knew why I was obsessed about the tao. it seems like such a lame thing. but if you don't have it then you don't have it I guess

to be fair when people came up to me and asked me where to find "meaning" I was like ???? buzzword. of course no context for what they meant by the word. DO YOU MEAN THE MEANING OF A WORD? MEANING OF WHAT. you'd think the philosophical topic of "meaning of life" would come up but instead they would just walk away. well what do you mean by meaning, goddamnit?! I guess a robot can't answer. where did he get that idea though? someone gave him the meaning in his head! has he tried looking there for it? 🙄

Is DevPlace currently down?
Login is loading almost forever, then "An error occurred". Same with Forgot Password.

Just wanted to check it out, see how it progressed, if it has markdown support and if it’s worth switching to.

Also, is the api open source now?

Got a weird poem from an old friend this weekend. Turned out one of his friends showed up drunk at his door recently sexually assaulted him. He hasn't told his girlfriend yet. Heavy stuff.

One of my best friend's was in town over the weekend. She moves back here at the end of May and is opening her own massage practice. It'll be good to have another friend moving back.

I had to get up early today and physically come into the office. I realize if I say I'm interested in the management position, I'll have to do this at least two days a week or more the rest of my time here. I really hate coming into the office. Do I want a management position more than I hate coming into the office? I don't know yet.

Did a big refactoring on a file/type which had about 1k loc.
Extracted some code into separate types as components with single focused responsibilities.
Extracted the generic parts into a generic component and using it in the specific component via composition.
Made the boundaries between different layers of responsibility explicit and clear.
Reduced the original file size to about 400 loc.

Ran the app to check if everything works exactly as it was before the refactoring.

It does! I fucking love my job!

Yesterday, our manager told us he put in his notice last week. He'll be gone next Friday. I'm physically in the office today with the start of whatever knowledge transfers we'll be seeing.

He's been the lead designer on our current project. The architect is mostly in his head and he has all the domain knowledge. It doesn't hit production for a few months, but he's essentially dumping this huge pile of AI generated mess on me.

I hate physically being in the office. These hot desks suck so bad and I hate seeing all these sheeple.

i hate shitting and pissing in the same time but i cant help it. its annoying. instead of just enjoying shitting i have to hold and bend my dick to piss inside toilet. it has to be microdick too for the toilet to fit my fat ass And dick in the same time inside

did you know people are supposed to get better at things they do the more they do them...

There are too many js librarieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssss

A forty-five minute daily standup for a team of twelve is absolutely criminal and I feel like I'm the insane one for being the only one to not be okay with that.

I was reading FreeRTOS documentation today and was reminded of ostream.
"Tasks are normally implemented as an infinite loop; the function which implements the task must never attempt to return or exit. Tasks can, however, delete themselves."

geez

I wondered if there's like a "best of AI" subreddit or something. some actual genuine fun, memes around AI and what people do with it. but there isn't. best I found is an AI forum but it's everyone complaining about if their jobs will be taken away from them or not

dead tech, 100% man. nobody is actually excited about this or making use of it. I think everyone just hates it

... earlier heard a dude say AI gets 10% of things wrong, and when it gets it wrong it's like a drunk teenager eating lead. I think 10% is a serious underestimation... the guy claims he doesn't let his AI make actual decisions/responses/reactions/control anything at his company... but he's using it to tell him its judgements on data in his system. if the AI can't be trusted to reply, why are you trusting it to understand without verifying it yourself? he thinks he's being so clever with that... but it just never occurred to him it could be making errors in its perceptions. if it's soooo badly dangerous that it often deletes whole systems when given access there is absolutely no reason to think it doesn't "seriously misjudge" the data it looks at to begin with... it SERIOUSLY MISJUDGING the data it's looking at is probably how it's ending up deleting various systems? this guy just doesn't think to check. I guess perceptions are considered cheap but they're the most expensive thing there is -- because EVERYTHING is downstream from perceptions. OODA loop. my god. and this guy thinks he's an AI skeptic...

we're all just folly to our human laziness I suppose

Have you ever wondered what happened w/ all the unsold devDucks?

Found those purely by accident, given how I had been looking for controllers.

In DOS: *(char*)0xB8000 = 'A'; would literally put an A on the screen.

Did you check this? fucking amazing, would love to get my hands on an old IBM machine running this DOS

bruhh no wonder the D&D crowd is so annoying. so much brainwashing smh

I don’t know if someone made this joke already (most probably yes), but…

The opposite of increment isn’t decrement. It’s excrement.

do you believe in earning things or do you use some other strategy in life?

RIP jew, may satan be with you (this is common sens as jews worship satan).

does your ability to do math come and wane and if so, how?

is there something you regretted not having asked, or could've made your life better had you tried to ask it? what about something now you could ask that could make your life better, or fun, or interesting, etc, whatever?

I wonder if I should start looking for new work. I've only been at the current shop for 8 months, I could potentially get them to pay for part of my MBA (although I'd have to stay at the company for a year after reimbursement) and there might be management positions I can apply for once our current massive project goes live.

Still, I hate working with .NET, the AI stuff is making all our software worse, and it's still going to be difficult to get even close to my former pay level with local jobs in this town.

I'm just tired. I actually miss the company I got laid off from, but I'd also never go back there.
