I've been gone a couple months. On a secret mission. TOP SECRET.

Can anyone tell me what it was?

Where my homies at?

Everybody atheist till it’s time to upgrade bios

Dear Windows,

How hard is it to actually update and shut down? No, don't restart. If I wanted you to restart I would have chosen that option.

Sincerely,
The last decade

Opened devRant after exactly 4 years. Brings back so many memories!!
Hello again, devRant community! What's life like rn?

Job search is absolutely soul crushing. I can't even.

Running is good for sleep. I wish my lungs weren't fucked, but I ran anyway.

Someone's going to be fired. Not me. When I joined my current company I was severely unwell. The survival rate for the state I was in was only slightly better than cancer (at 2 years less than 3 in 4 survive). I told work all of this. As far as I can tell they did nothing. As far as I can tell they didn't belive me. They've now got shitty about my performance and have actually asked for an independent review of my health. It is bad. It's significantly better than it was and it probably sounds worse than it is, but it is bad. They don't even know how much worse it was when I joined because they DIDN'T GET AN ASSESSMENT LIKE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO. Someone is getting fired. HR hasn't responded to my emails since last Tuesday when they got the assessment. The only person that's said anything to me is my manager, he was in a bit of a grump last Wednesday (I don't think they'd told him yet) but he's being nice today, not a single word of criticism.

Someone is getting fired.

Every year my work sends out a "mental health awareness week" email including some "useful resources" and the biggest problem for my mental health is those assholes.

So performant!

My team mate is so fucking bad that I use his mistakes as interview questions for internship positions. So I really make sure I don't have a second Ouistiti in my team.

Tomorrow is monday, and it looks like ~4h of meetings everyday...

Had to change my dog in my profile. The little black dog died, and I'm grieving pretty hard over it. One dog left, and that's it for me after he's gone. I can't say goodbye to any more puppers.

Shithead manager.

Complaining that I'm a "senior" and he expects more from me (ignore that he's been making that complaint for 3 years and it's only been my job for less than 1)

Now complaining that I'm taking time to teach someone about something that they don't actually need to know.

I'm so fucking done with this job.

Hi folks of Devrant,

I’m looking for a remote job.
I’ve built multiple products over 10 years in startups and have skills in C#, Java, AWS, and SQL.

I’d appreciate any referrals if you know someone hiring.

Not sure if posts like this are allowed. I'll delete if it breaks the rules.

The shortest rant ever that doesn't need any explanation: XCODE

Petition to add a “🤡” reaction to LinkedIn.

From now on, your phone might connect to the car when you get in, but will randomly disconnect after a few minutes. Your headset will connect to your laptop but the mic won't work. Your other headset will connect but the sound will cut out for half a second every few minutes.

Why? You ask. It all worked fine a week ago.

Because Bluetooth. Also because fuck you.

Fuck you, Bluetooth. Right in the fucking mouth.

You know what's fun? Building software at your leisure, discovering, etc.

You know what's not fun? Being pressured to learn something in the least amount of time, with the least amount of resources and the least amount of budget.

Wife's driving me nuts
Work is driving me nuts

At least my kids are awesome!

Maybe getting a new job would help. I'd probably need two new jobs to match this one though

Have you tried chatgpt's text-to-speech feature?
It’s so much better than anything that I tried before. You can even choose different "personalities" or tones or whatever.

I‘d even say that it‘s perfect. I can’t think of anything that could be improved in terms of how well it pronounces words and puts emphasis on specific words. It’s 100% natural sounding.

Interviewing with a company that brands itself as "AI-powered software development company".

Get sent code test and rules are no AI to help with code test.

I get it, but it's just so ironic...

Very excited to announce I've started another project I will never finish

Current Company: Our coding standards is according to the dumbest assumed programmer! Therefore everything shall stay the same as there will be chaos if a convetion changes.

Free at last! I quit my soul sucking job from these demon bosses. I’ll use use this opportunity now to become a freelancer. Any tips for the German market would be greatly appreciated!

Sometimes i forget how powerful regex are

Deleted over 1'500 lines of code over the last 2 days and replaced it with 80 lines of readable, simple, generic code.

And I'm feeelin' gooood 🎶

I'm averaging 3 hours a day outside of meetings. Mostly in 30 minute blocks.

Manager is wondering why I can't get work done...

Is it my imagination or are the developers who write user interfaces in 2024 completely retarded?

More people getting fired yaaaaay /s

- clicks update and shutdown
