I got cooked by Siri when I told it "up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, start". 🤬6

Is it me or lately developers that call themselves senior doesn't even know how to use git properly, doesn't have proper troubleshooting techniques and have to be spoon fed several times?
It's crazy to me that they are still hired and working.9 -
Michelle Trachtenberg died. Complications from a liver transplant apparently.
RIP
Does Scotty know?19 -
Nothing like spending 2 days solving a problem that could have been solved by 15 minutes of manual work
Hey, at least it's automated now...6 -
It occurs to me that the only people left on devrant are shills, bots, racists, and insane people, and I've yet to decide whether to leave or count myself into that last category.58

Could the all of the Tencent cloud kindly please fuck off back to China?
Those assholes don't even publish their IP ranges so one could easily block their ass.
Had to rely on external tools and hunt down all of their different ASNs to finally block them from overloading a client's webapp...
Ugh, I need a beer.6 -
Sleeping well cleans our mind and let us approach a problem in a different way and help us find the solution. For some days I was worried about how to solve a couple of bugs, but this morning after a good sleep I magically realized how easy the solution was:
WON'T FIX2 -
How do you motivate yourselves to work on side projects? like I just wanna sit on my ass play video games
I wish I knew how I can convert my motivation to game to study better or work on side projects but I don't have the secret recipe.16 -
By the time you get to need to learn Kubernetes, people are usually too far deep in their engineering careers and already have this 'not even more shit' fatigue.4

Day 11 of starving myself to death challenge.
It's evening. No #2 still, no gas, nothing but pure energy. No hunger or thirst as well. I feel amazing!8 -
Raspberry Pi havin their own software as the second/third stage bootloader sure sure is kinda well documented and works kinda well. But oh god is it a faff to get to do something non standard. Just let me modify the u-boot environment and save it to disk/tftp 🥺
Also whoever thought that NFS rootfs should only work with proto=tcp, FUCK YOU for not documenting it! Wasted literally two day on this!2 -
This is lead acetate. It looks like sugar and tastes like sugar, yet it’s as toxic as lead.
Have a good day!21 -
Day 10 of starving myself to death challenge! Health app warns me of sharp weight decline trend. I don’t remember the last time I had #2. I feel fantastic6

I hate my job enough that even thinking about a meeting with my boss gives me stomachaches and a dizzy head. I hate to admit this, because not only did I use to love my job, I also need to stick it out for a few more months because of immigration purposes. Fuuuuck.3

Turns out the app was crashing because YouTube was hogging 8GB of memory and so queries started failing spontaneously.2

I'm pretty familiar with SQL. It used to scare me, but now, years on, I'm super comfortable with it, and I don't really get why anyone would need anything else, generally speaking. Having said that, just tried to play with mongodb for a minute, and holy shit, that is some weird, weird stuff. I read all of the marketing fluff on the site, but I still am at a loss. Is it just that people don't want to be bothered to learn SQL syntax or use an ORM, or make a REST API, so they went off and created a weird JSON thing?
Not trying to be a douchebag, not trying to criticize. I honestly do not get it. Why does this exist?10 -
Today my cat, my oldest girlfriend, passed away. She chose to be in the sun for her passing. I'm happy she had a good life in the end with all the space she needed. She did not suffer. It was sudden and just a cardiac arrest.
May she hunt many more mice and little birds in the afterlife.20 -
Everyone was a noob once. I am the first to tell that to everyone. But there are limits.
Where I work we got new colleagues, fresh from college, claims to have extensive knowledge about Ansible and knows his way around a Linux system.... Or so he claims.
I desperately need some automation reinforcements since the project requires a lot of work to be done.
I have given a half day training on how to develop, starting from ssh keys setup and local machine, the project directory layout, the components the designs, the scripts, everything...
I ask "Do you understand this?"
"Yes, I understand. " Was the reply.
I give a very simple task really. Just adapt get_url tasks in such a way that it accepts headers, of any kind.
It's literally a one line job.
A week passes by, today is "deadline".
Nothing works, guy confuses roles with playbooks, sets secrets in roles hardcodes, does not create inventory files for specifications, no playbooks, does everything on the testing machine itself, abuses SSH Keys from the Controller node.... It's a fucking ga-mess.
Clearly he does not understand at all what he is doing.
Today he comes "sorry but I cannot finish it"
"Why not?" I ask.
"I get this error" sends a fucking screenshot. I see the fucking disaster setup in one shot ...
"You totally have not done the things like I taught you. Where are your commits and what are.your branch names?"
"Euuuh I don't have any"

I get frustrated, but nonetheless I re-explain everything from too to bottom! I actually give him a working example of what he should do!
Me: "Do you understand now?"
Colleague: "Yes, I do understand now?"
Me: "Are you sure you understand now?"
C: "yes I do"
Proceeds to do fucking shit all...
WHY FUCKING LIE ABOUT THE THINGS YOU DONT UNDERSTAND??? WHAT KIND OF COGNITIVE MALFUNCTION IA HAPPENING IN YOUR HEAD THAT EVEN GIVEN A WORKING EXAMPLE YOU CANT REPLICATE???
WHY APPLY FOR A FUCKING JOB AND LIE ABOUT YOUR COMPETENCES WHEN YOU DO T EVEN GET THE FUCKING BASICS!?!?
WHY WASTE MY FUCKING TIME?!?!?!
Told my "dear team leader" (see previous rants) that it's not okay to lie about that, we desperately need capable people and he does not seem to be one of them.
"Sorry about that NeatNerdPrime but be patient, he is still a junior"
YOU FUCKING HIRED THAT PERSON WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HAI RESUME AND ACCEPTED HIS WORDS AT FACE VALUE WITHOUT EVEN A PROPER TECHNICAL TEST. YOU PROMISED HE WAS CAPABLE AND HE IS FUCKING NOT, FUCK YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE MANAGEMENT SKILLS, YOU ALREADY FAIL AT THE START.
FUCK THIS. I WILL SLACK OFF TODAY BECAUSE WITHOUT ME THIS TEAM AND THIS PROJECT JUST CRUMBLES DOWN DUE TO SHEER INCOMPETENCE.5
