I wonder if technical knowledge truly matters outside of those companies that try to filter people based on tests...

And if not... then I'm just studying for myself. lol

God i hate this country. Every job requires dutch and french (who tf speaks both), and when they don't they want driving license for no reason. I can't do psychology because I don't have the right master, I can't even get a bullshit job to pay for food because they all require some bullshit gouvernement program so that the employer can not pay taxes. I have no right to unemployment, and CPAS are gonna be overflooded.

I hate right wingers I swear they're ruining the fucking world with their bellybuttonism

I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem - especially in corporate - but have you ever had one or more colleagues actively want to sabotage your career progress and blatantly undermine you by constantly writing peer reviews about you in an unnecessarily negative and aggressive way while they themselves advance and steal your progress?

I have been through such toxicity. I've had colleagues do this - colleagues who didn't like me as a person, all conspiring against me (no joke - I saw it at the water cooler talk). I sure hope this doesn't happen too often to people.

When talking in a Rant I realized that error messages are a quite good indicator if someone actually has SOME experience.

So, i made the error tests https://static.molodetz.nl/error-qu...

They should do this for interviews. There are a few questions that are really not accepted to do wrong, would not hire on INSTANT if that was the case :P Errors with a stacktrace contaiing the language extension :P If someone just says "I don't know go (the existance of it)" i doubt so extremely hard about that person :P

Should an RPG exist that normalizes skills somehow? You can increase skills, but it doesn't make some enemies so easy they just fall down after one hit. I get how in D&D that you can tank more the higher level. But it was rare to increase attributes. Now it seems every RPG increases attributes. So early enemies fall down very easy.

How to keep things challenging without making enemies too easy? At some point everything is one hit and dead.

NVM guys I am taking a shit RN and it hurts just likes Cpp forget my last post

If we don't build AGI, the .govs and corpos of the world will build it first, and then use it against us.

Just saying

Oh no, devrant cert just expired...

Fuck, ppl saying this food someone made states like shrimp. It was chicken. Probably freezer burned and take on flavor of the freezer. I don't know. Nobody got sick yet.

Week: 116 (Year 3)

Plans for the weekend?

Question: How are you gonna enjoy the upcoming vacation? Assuming December is a chilling month for most of you

last Weekend : https://devrant.com/rants/19386937

Je fais un post en français parce que je m'ennuie et la certification https de devant viens d'expirer.

Updated JoyRant and anti spam bots to ignore the expired certificate.

We believe it takes great input to build a great product, faster than our competition. Are you willing to work hard and work (most) weekends? We understand this is not for everyone / every stage of career, and want to be transparent upfront. *

Ah Germany, the place to go to be served alcohol by a 12 years old (might have been younger)

Just got a new smartwatch and the first thing i did was using it to measure my heart BPM before, during and after taking a shit?

I was saying chatGPT that backenders were cunt and that at the slightest market low, they're taking all the jobs and suddenly become "full stack" even though they hate javascript. Apparently it violate policy rule whatever. Cunt

I hate backenders I swear to got we should build a wall between us and backenders

Front and backends are the yingyang of programming.

Frontend is good, it's light, it's sugar, it's manly, it's creative

Backends is bad, it's dark, it's salty, it's gay, it's destructive

Coding agents are fun until you realise the real boss is not the model, it is the stupid context

We were building this coding agent for Cheetah AI , and everything looked cool in the demo world, then real repos hit and boom, welcome to “the file got corrupted, let me rewrite the whole file ” hell because all context window got used up.

So the only way out everyone recommends is “just use rag and index the whole codebase (thanks to augment code blogs for motivation that was never needed)”

Yeah sure, man, let me just burn my gpu and my wallet every time someone does git commit -m “fix typo”

indexing a big repo, waiting, reindexing on every change, watching tokens vanish faster than motivation on a Monday, all so the model can still miss the one file that actually matters
at some point i snapped and thought what if we just stop pretending embeddings are magic and literally grab what we need from the code like normal people

So Greb grebmcp. com was born
no fancy “ai native yada yada”, it just does ruthless grep, glob, read, ast parsing, tears the repo apart, pulls only the useful chunks, and then reranks it so the model gets exactly what it needs instead of a result

Small LLMS suddenly got a lot better than I thought, seriously. Now I am using Grok code on Copilot, and I literally thought I was using Claude Sonnet

Challenges were the usual
How do we make this fast enough that it does not feel like running yarn install
how do we stop the prompt from becoming a novel while still giving enough code so the agent does not hallucinate a whole microservice

but honestly the fun part is watching it beat setups that throw way more hardware and bigger models at the problem
just because we stopped reindexing the universe and started treating code like code instead of generic text

My wife cooked food again. My anus is gonna bleed tomorrow

There is a dead bird in our yard. My wife asked me to clean it up by texting me.

wife: Can you pick up the dead bird in the backyard?
me: Its just resting.
wife: With no head
me: Its a headless swoon
wife: Its dead and needs a new resting place.
me: beautiful plumage
